Basilik

Found out a nice anime recently.. It's called 甲賀忍法帖 Basilisk.
The story is about 2 main ninja clans, Kouga and Iga, fighting agaisnt each other. Though the story is a bit dark, I think you will like it. It is just 24 episodes..could be finished very fast. You can watch it online at http://anime6.org/?p=187

Enjoy :)

( My whole spring vacation is about playing Dota, watching anime... Oh no! what am I doing.... )

Nintendo Wii !!

Just bought a nintendo wii few weeks ago, shared with my gf.. It is really nice, totally different with other game stations such as Xbox or play station. Especially when many people play together..everyone swing the controller crazily...it's fun!!

Bought a gun and sword playing game yesterday.. Swinging the controller until get muscles ache.. My gf is even worse than me I think :p .. When she is playing I am not dare to disturb her at all.. scared that she will chop me :D

A very special festival in Japan- Penis Festival

The original name of this festival is 豊年祭(hounen matsuri) , but it is often called チンコ祭 (chinko matsuri),which means penis festival. It is held in Aichi prefecture every year at 15March. Please don't have a weird image about this festival when you see its name!When I told a friend about this festival,he asked me,"does everyone has to show his penis during the festival?!" Of course no!! It's just a traditional festival in Japan which Japanese pray so they can have children and also blessing for the family .. You can see many parents bring their children to that festival..just like any other ordinary festivals in Japan.

Ok,after some introduction..let's look at the pictures!!

Tagata Shirine - the shrine where this festival is held.

This huge thing is being worshipped inside the shrine...

An uncle is selling wooden crafted souvenirs.. seems like nobody wanted to buy...


We are measuring the size of its head.

She is a bit shy...

This rock looks marvellous!!

It is well crafted I think ...what do u think?

So many people there!

We are choosing some souvenirs.. I have bought a sake bottle set.

Nice?

The parade starts...wow...finally it comes!!


Another one is coming..hehe..

It is 2m long...

After the parade ends, there is a 餅投げ event. The staffs there throw some mochis towards the crowds ..who is able to get the mochi will be blessed. However, I failed to get the mochi..

This is a very special festival in Japan. I think you should visit it if you have a chance :)

Pitching Machine Competition

Had a small competition in class to build a 50cm^3 machine for shooting/transferring a ping pong ball.. Simple rules-the energy conservation must be done by a 3V motor... and those can shoot the longest distance won. My machine get 2nd place.. by shooting for 12.78m.

Some interesting machines of other group:
Using a paper plane.. But the fluid calculation is too hard and they failed.

Very funny design..at first they plan to use water to push the magic arm.. However they didn't have enough time to complete it.


Nice design.. but lack of power. Result: 2m++


Simple but they have won...shooting for more than 15m.

There are some other machines but I have forgotten to take their pictures... This subject is quite interesting.. making soccer robots programming for the first half of the semester and pitching machine for 2nd half... I enjoyed the process of making it... but the presentation is very troublesome.. need to calculate everything...Re numbers..air resistance... but then the theory prediction is not really helpful.. :p Maybe my maths is too bad...
