3rd Pro Mechanical Engineers Go-Kart Day

it was a project for their computer-aided design class. the students worked in groups - researched, designed and sent their drawing to the workshop for building. Raymond said that it felt like being a part of the F1 crew. it was really inspiring to see how the hard work of these students paid off! well done!
 

The Go-kart from Raymond and Sam's group


Part of the race is that you have to go through these cones which tests your maneuvering techniques


something happened to the go-kart. it stopped suddenly. however, the group, in all their coolness and chill-ness, with hands in the pocket, walked towards the kart to check it out. and when all's done, in all their coolness, hands in the pocket, walked back to camp.

i found it... funny. haha. sorry. my sense of humour a bit different de :p

pretty exciting Thursday! now i know what the engineers had to go through and what caused Raymond those sleepless nights! but it was all worth it! :D well done again guys!

Saturday Snow
And then, on Saturday, it snowed! super unexpected snow! oh my gosh!!! but since there are already so many pics of the snow in the blogosphere... i will just put 2 that can best depict what i wanna say.. ;)

the pretty sight of snowflakes falling from heaven
...oo, and eating ice-cream in the snow (ice-cream courtesy of Wan Yin)

Jerica's Visit
Jerica, a friend of Raymond, visited CHCH. she's studying in Melbourne and is an amazing woman of God! And thanks to Jerica, whenever i see the abbreviation 'chch', i can't help but giggle at the way she pronounced it. haha. sorry Jer, but it's just too funny! :p

so we went to Arthur's Pass for 2D1N. it was raining though, else we could have done some walks. But it's okay.

We passed by Castle Hill (where the battle scene of Disney's Narnia I was filmed) on the way. it was covered with snow! what a pretty sight!


the rocks are astonishingly huge!



  
we had a great time walking and crawling on the snow up the slopes. very slippery :)

On the way back the next day, the snow had melted away. But oh, it was definitely another pretty sight!


ooo... and a funny moment... :p
Jer: Why are they running away from me? Come back!

 
The smell of freedom!


Raymond's car-full of memories ;)


And a blissful ending at Godley Head Walk


Oooo...  not forgetting International Cultural Night at our church! check out Bern's blog!
