السلام عليكم
There was this statement/status in Facebook by a teacher/advisor of SDAR's F1 in School team;
harini masuk ngajar form 1 math tanya diorng... korang kenal tak budak-budak Ralucaf1 yang menang national 2009. Diorang x kenal tapi Team Dash SSP diorang kenal la... hahahahaha
Dash SSP was actually my F1 in Schools team back in 2009. The team members were:
>Hanie Farhana: Team Manager//Design Engineer
>Nurulauni 'Aqilah: Manufacturing Engineer
>Aina Farzana: Resource Manager
>Kautsar: Graphic Designer

Just a brief explanation; F1 in Schools is actually a competition for students (most of the time a group of 4) to design and make an F1 car using a balsa wood-the lightest wood in the world! Then, they will race their car on a 20m track, aiming for it to speed less than ONE second. Other than racing, the team should also create a brand of their own and manage their own budget and market the team.
F1 in School World Championship 2011 will be held in Double Tree by Hilton next week. I accidentally met a 2009 contestant here last Ramadhan at masjid. And found another one, a few days ago. I didn't actually recognize him at first, but he do look familiar. Kelly introduce us, he's Kelly's classmate. It turn's out that he was a contestant too. What a small world. Jejak kasih :')
And again, I was infected by F1 fever. I've started to search for F1 videos on Youtube, looking back at long-not-seen pictures of the event. It really brings back all the memory we had together as a team, with our dedicated teacher advisor, Ms. Ng Suh Fen, and of course with all the contestants.
Seriously, we really have a strong bonding among the contestants. Though the competition had ended LONGGG time ago, yet we still contact each other :)
About the National Finals competition in 2009, Team DASH lost. Too bad. The winning team was Raluca F1 from SDAR, our front neighbour and great friend of ours. Their tales of success were spread across the local newspaper and magazines and around the world. They deserve it, truly.
And yet, the losing team; DASH is still known. That's something :) Yeah, maybe they saw us HERE:

As the famous saying goes: You didn't lose, just have not won.
And yes, we had actually made others proud despite of the competition result of not winning any award then. The knowledge and experience we gained were not to waste, it was DAMN precious.
Ohh, yeah. We had actually launched our cars during the morning assembly at Dewan Puteri Perdana. From a few feedbacks from our friends, they thought it was SO COOL! They never ever seen the F1 car and how the car speed. So, we had gave them the golden opportunity that not many can experience. Unfortunately, they can't see the car move. It's just TOO FAST ;)

All in all, I might said it before in the yesteryears. But, I want to said it again today: A ZILLION THANKS to all who had helped us directly or indirectly, for all your supports and aids especially our beloved family members and school girl friends. Also thank you to our committed teachers and kind sponsors. May this competition will be an annual event for others to participate and learn from it. Education is not just in classroom :)

Finally, just a few words to end this post.
Haruslah:
kita beribadah seolah-olah esok kita akan mati,
kita membaca buku seolah-olah esok exam :P
Hehehe
Peringatan untuk anda semua dan diri ini sendiri
Wassalam :)
*PS: DASH theme colour; PURPLE and WHITE.
