and finished the national ACM-ICPC programming contest...
Phew... exhausted ah~~
woke up at 5.30am
reach there about 7 sth
drank 2 tins of coffee and 1 chocolate bar
still very sleepy lo
contest start at 9am and end at 2pm
but I started to feel nervous and panic at 8 sth ady...
dunno y this time even more nervous than the regional competition
this 2 weeks really no time to prepare...
assignment and mid term exam
unlike last time regional 1 held during the sem break
so that I can hv more time to practice and prepare
I was juz hoping that we wont lose too badly in this national contest
at least we must get into top 5
and I was hoping that another MMU team can get into top 3
coz they really put a lot of effort on it and they are really geng...
During the contest..
the 1st 30 mins..
I was really panic till cant calm down
and felt very cold
of coz sleepy also loh
but luckily after 30 mins and several times went to toilet
den felt better le...
after 4 hours...
meaning there's only 1 hour left
the scoreboard freeze (the scoreboard stop updating the score)...
and we are at the 5th place and solved 3 problems...
the 1st place contestant solved 5 problems
2nd place contestant solved 4 problems
while 3rd & 4th both solved 3 problems
luckily during the last 1 hour
we managed to solve 1 more problem...
But we dunno how about other teams
if the 3rd and 4th were to solve 1 more problems
then we are not in the top 3 ady
after leaving the lab...
we saw 1 or 2 teams holding 5 balloons...
since 1 balloon means 1 problem solved
shit la~~
hopeless ady...
so we juz waiting for the prize giving ceremony
and see whether we are at 4th or 5th place...
Ah~~
tunggu betul betul lama oh
after a lot of speeches and sembahyang
finally wait untill the climax of the ceremony
the MC started to announce....
" The second runner is... "
(Walao... I wan to know the top 5 leh...
I wan to know we are 4th or 5th leh...
2nd runner sure be IIUM de)
...
...
...
...
...
"Multimedia University Team 2... Congratulation..."
"Ah???? Not IIUM meh" I shouted...
OMG~~
After put down my big bag and move our balloon away
(since I never thought of I will go up the stage, so I put all those things in front of me)
So 3 of us sha sha de walked up to stage...
received the medal and the big cardboard cheque..
and sha sha de took photo there...
oh ya...
before we go back...
2 teams of us... total 8 balloons...
we released our balloons to the air and let them fly away....
when I saw the balloons fly higher and higher...
I feel more relax and relax...
finally I can put down my ACM le....
Now...
It's not the end...
It's just a beginning...
got to start doing my assignment le...
I haven't touch my assignment yet...
Ah~~~ Have to back to reality le...
Goodbye~~ACM-ICPC...
If I got chance... see you next year...
If not... It will be part of my precious memory in my life...
satisfaction...
disappointed...
lost...
struggling...
87...
sense of accomplishment...
intensive training...
sacrification...
and a lot of experiences....
