Group Design Project

If my blog hasn't been updating for about a week, it means that it had been a dreadful week for me. Year 3 has started, Final Year Project and Group Design Project are corrupting my life like like a force of charging buffaloes stepping on poor little cheesecakes!

Walking to uni early in the morning for project meeting X_X:


Oh ya, this post is mainly about my thoughts while I'm doing my Group Design Project, where the title is somehow sweet to some people but definitely not me. "Design a Monocoque for an F1 Racing Car", I was like falling into the deepest pit with black & white scene when I was assigned to it. I can't even differentiate between Wira and Saga!


Do you ever had those elementary or secondary schoolmates that start drawing during some boring classes. I have a number of them that actually love drawing race cars, they told me it's their dream to design a race car.

My initial sketches, you can laugh if you feel like:

Thinking that it's totally not my cup of tea... I can't imagine that I ended up studying a course that builds cars, being assigned to a group that is designing a car body, and being the only one in the group that contributes the initial sketches! Not mentioning it's NOT my interest to study this course, why on Earth must I be the one out of 132 people in my course to do this! Obviously there're many more out there that love doing this.

More of the awful drawings:

However, think about it peacefully... I don't think I will love doing this anymore even though I'm a car freak since it includes other stuffs. For example, how much passion will left if I'm taking the drag reduction, air intake for cooling, engine efficiency, space frame structural analysis and material selections into consideration.

Some of my childish designs:

Now I realize that it's possible to screw a dream when it becomes an occupation. So can I think positively that I'm blessed because what I love doing is not what I'm studying? At least keeping that world a fantasy because I'm not in it. Anyway, thanks God for what is given, stop complaining and just do it!

"Bless the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven!"

Pray that the Lord will bless us along this busy schedule of final year. May all that we done is for Your favor and to build us as the salt and the light. Also pray that You won't let us fall out of Your glory and let You alone be the center of everything in our lives. In Jesus we pray, Amen.
