I'm sure lots of you know a little about water rocket? It's quite a fascinating creation that is created reagarding Newton's third law. The water rocket is created by using an empty soft drink 1.5 litre bottle (about that size) and a few (2 to 4) fins will be added to its side to make it fly further. The water is forced by pressurized gas, typically compressed gas. It is launched into the air by using a launcher.
My best friend - Kirrthana and I have signed up to participate in the water rocket competition this year and we were insane for doing that because none of us are good in physics or maths or any calculation thingy. So basically, we're finding ourselves a trouble. A hot-handed one. Tomorrow is the day we'll be competing against other school and we've prepared everything. But seemingly, my school's launcher is obviously "out of our league" because it doesn't function properly and it's very old fashioned. So.. DANG!! Kirrthana and I do not know how far can our water rocket go because we don't have a launcher to do us that favor. So... We'll see about that tomorrow. Either we get scared half to death or we'll get a heart attack tomorrow.
Our preparations:
We met up this morning and got our hands to work.
 |
| Our parachute. Guess who's the owner of the 3rd hand? xD |
 |
| Snapped this photo out of bored. The one with black shirt on is Yin Yin, our senior in making water rockets. She's a good senior. Blessed to have her with us :D |
 |
| Ok.. My hair looked totally "helmetic" in this pic =.= We're trying to figure out what's the best way for our parachute to fall to the ground perfectly. |
 |
| 1ST ATTEMPT: FAILED! We used two balloons and and plasticine to fill the head of our rocket as a tentative plan but when we tested it, we failed! BOOHOOHOO!! |
 |
| 2ND ATTEMPT: LANDED SUCCESSFULLY! :D :D |
 |
| My funny expression |
 |
| Straight stick Kirr and starfish me jumped out of joy! Yatta! |
In the afternoon, I went to Kirr's house right after my piano lesson. Photos' up:
Selfies:
P.S.: Just in case you are curious why I looked.. slightly different (I had my double eyelid paste on so I look kindda different, but pups, it's still me!)
 |
| Tried to fix my "helmetic hair" (in Kyle's word) but I think my hair ended up looking like a peacock's tail or something.. Looked worse >< |
 |
| Ok.. Kirr just covered half of her face with the camera >< I was trying to act like a hipster but I guess it's an EPIC FAIL!! |
|
|
|
 |
| Looking awkwardly FIERCE!! Kirr looked good :D |
 |
| Both of us looked good in this pic!! Hah! I was trying to fix my strange-looking hair again. This time, the technique I used is - camouflage. Tryin' to look natural with my hand grabbing a bunch of hair. Love it although it's a bit shaky :3 |
Hope that our results won't be too bad tomorrow.
Stay tuned to my blog if u wanna know how well or how bad we've done tomorrow ;)
