ASEAN Universities Build & Break Competition 2009



Hello gentle readers..
Referring to the poster above, for the past 1 month, me and my teams have been struggling to compete in the competition as stated.

It was the day that KTR-Superptuih dan Transit Kaler Magenta was performed that Dr Siti called me and asked about the competition. She requested me and the team to enter the competition because Wei Chern suggested us , as well as we are doing our internship nearby. So eventhough those sleepless nights of theatre training have finally over, it was replaced by the training for the competition.

We had a month full of discussions, meetings and trainings, with bunchsssss of satay sticks and rollssss off masking tape and quite a number of structural model has been produced. ( especially tower crane and bridge)..

The competition was held on 1st of august at UNITEN. (Have i told u that UNITEN made a collaboration with the Institute of Structural Engineers- Malaysia Division, to organize this respective event).


For 2 and a half hour, we were given on the spot question to build a tower crane with a cantilever beam to support the loading. The question yet was so confusing that we might misinterprete it.

The results of the competition goes: -
2nd runner up- USM Penang
1st runner up- Curtin University Sarawak Campus
Winner - National University of Malaysia (UKM)

UKM made it as a champion, only the champion wasnt us. It was team 2.

UKM sent 2 teams :

1st team- me, Wei Chern, Jason, Dalila, Wei Ching
2nd team(winner)- Jeff, Kuan, Kian Lai, Fook Kong, Lay Teng

Although we kinda embarassed for not performing in the competition, but we still very proud with the other UKM team. Plus, we arent really losing the competition, we actually being disqualified because of the height of our model is not up to requirement(300mm), - we made it 295mm.. ouch..

Maybe it is not our day this time, however we do learned and gained a lot. Mostly on teamworks, experiences, giving ideas, making decisions, to think wise and critis, friendship and a lot more..

After the prize giving ceremony, we celebrate the joy of being a winner at Satay Kajang Hj Samuri.

I heard there will be a small prize giving ceremony held at faculty also, attended by the Dean, because he and our head of department were so proud of us..=D

Thank you .. thank you...thank you..
