Week 20 (18th-24th Jan 2010)











For this week, I was studying something about the new camera system.
On monday, Jeeva and I went to school as usual to try to setup the system.
But for the first, we went to the solar car room to check if the solar car got any update or something.

this is the internal structure of the Solar car Hans Go!
we could see the driver's seat is quite narrow, and I am sure that it's not comfortable for the people who was sitting inside for driving this car.
We could see that for the all the solar car, the whole car was constructed in Electrical components.
at the same time for this car, the highest speed it can reach is up to 115 km/h.

After the solar car, we switch to our another project.
it's the camera imaging system.


for the first of all, we have to install this components in to the PC, it's a external internet port, just for connecting with the camera.


this is the camera, which was connected with power supply and the internet port. his name is G-cam.



I took a pic with the card before it was plugged in the computer.


it's one of the lens on the table which is used for the camera we setup.


there are many lens for choosing.


please kindly ignore me, just focus on the lens.

In another day, which was Tuesday.

I went to koln alone to buy some gift for my parents and friends.



it was really a nice day, I love the sunshine!




I love the blue sky!!


it was a very cold day, we can see from the pigeon.


wow!!it is the really a nice and expensive machine!!LEICA!!


I believe that the friends in Singapore all know what is it.
DS,```hahaha



it was damn coooool shoes!!but too expensive for me!


yes! this is the train station of koln!!it was really a damn nice city!

On Wednesday,
Jeeva and I went to a steelworks.
with a a group of Korean students too.


it was a damn big factory.


the name of the factory is "ThyssenKrupp"

ThyssenKrupp AG (FWB: TKA, LSE: THK) is a large German industrial conglomerate, with more than 200,000 employees. The corporation consists of 670 companies worldwide. ThyssenKrupp is one of the world's largest steel producers. It operates worldwide in three business areas: steel, capital goods, and services. The steel unit concentrates on carbon steel and stainless steel, while the capital goods unit consists of three segments: elevators, automotive (parts, sub-assemblies, and modules), and technologies (machine tools, large-diameter bearings, cement plants, bulk material handling systems, chemical / refining plants and industrial doors). The services sector provides tailor-made materials, environmental services, mechanical engineering, and scaffolding services. The company is the result of the 2000 merger of Thyssen and Krupp, and is headquartered in Düsseldorf. The largest shareholder is the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach Foundation.

we had a small briefing before entered the factory.
but unluckily they spoke either German or Korean.
We hardly can understand anything.


we have to wear the safe helmet during we are in the factory.


It was a first time to see this .
It was really cooool, but hot!
I suddenly got a feeling of the temperature in Singapore.


the steel ran in a high speed.```


it must be!!!damn!!! hot!!!


the steel was cooling down by the cold water during the transmission .
after that, they will scroll those like a toilet paper.
it just for make the heat be well spread.
so that it could be made in a slimmer type.
then we can use them for the cars and some other metal products


this is a GBP(german born Philippines) who is working for the factory.


I feel a bit  weird that I join the Korean people's pic.
 
the first time feel shy to take pic, they are too warm.


those are the professors and teachers.


with the guys


I went to a party at night```they were damn crazy!


haha``amir was really funny on this pic.

For the rest of the week, I was studying and writing my final report.

on Sat.
I went to Amsterdam again.

This is a male toilet on the street.





I met a artist as I was leaving the city.


but on the way back to Germany, we were checked by the policeman.```because there are some ppl brought some drugs from Amsterdam.
it took me 3 hr extra for the policeman,
``lol``


Thanks for reading:)

Week 19 (11st Jan--17th Jan)

This is the second week since I came back from UK to Germany.
It's a really unlucky week for me. I was really really very very sad on this Thursday.
OK, Let's start the story from the begining.

In this week we got a new task for us to acheive.
It's about Camera imaging processing.
At first I really got damn excited about it, because I am a real big fan of camera and pictures.

As we get this new task, we get a new computer and new Lab. This picture above it's about how does the system works.it's used for detecting the shape of the tyre. so that we could make sure they are in the same position, and this system is widly used in many big tyre companies nowadays.

This tyre is one of the testing tyres for us. and it's made in Germany.
Finally I found one thing which is made in Germany.
cooolest.

When I had a break or need some information for this project, we could use this computer to do researching.(it's a new computer just for us right now.)


This is the nicest ground just out of the canteen. and it's a forest there also.

I wrote my name on the snoow.
 
I was  on my way back home.

Now almost all the things happend in this week, we did our new project, we study the new knowledge by ourselves.
But, I was really damn sad on Thursday.
Because I was planning to continue my further study here since I graduated from Ngee Ann Polytechnic, but I was just told, it's impossible to transfer my result or something to continue, I have to restart from the beginning, even I continue the same course here.
after that, I slept in my bed for about 3 days to recover.
because I worke really very hard for this case. I tried my best to study German Language.
but now```all things are gone`````

the last day of this week, Jeeva and I had a dinner together in my house.

we played a very boring game, is to throw a cover of a bottle into my galsses.
lol
the end for this week.

Week 18(4th Jan 2010--10th Jan 2010)

I left London in this Tuesday.
I will miss the nice and city, and miss all my friend there.
I really feel very thankful to my friends there.
Even they had been most of the places before, but they still accompany me to show me around the London City.
Sometimes I felt tired. I knew that they must be tired too. but they never mention anything.
All the thanks to them.


Before I left London I drew one Tee for my best friend in London.

It's a Chinese "Erhu", but it's a bit weird that the erhu was drawn in a crime t-shirt.


On the day I left, I went to the Oxford street in London, but I bought nothing, because I ran out of my money.

it's a really nice design carpet. . but it's cost more than 1500 pounds!!!!

This picture was taken in a toy shop! really a damn big shop for bear!

I really want to bring back one of them```but it's too ex```:(

As I left London. I just found how nice it is.
Just like Singapore, as I left. I start to miss my friend and the hot city!

one beautiful lady stood by the entrance of the toy shop.

Ferrari! I will fight to get one in one day.!!!



This image really make me think of SIngapore!```Orchard road!!``haha


London! i will miss u.



As I reached Germany, I took a long long sleep``` I was really very tired```Germany is much colder than England.
the whole environment is pure white.


The snow was everywhere.


On Sat, We went to Essen for ice skating.


Yup!this is Andrej, one of my teammate.


In this Week, I and jeeva got a new task, it's about error checking system by Camera.


We going to study this in this month.
