Time to update group blog! So far we have order a tyre which cost us only Rm7. It's to support our 1v dome on floating in case if 3 of us are too heavy for dome to float. Besides, we plan to use as much of empty mineral bottle for floating purpose too. We have a box of mineral water, we plan to finish all this drink within a week and hopefully it can be use for our dome. We also will try collecting some large bottle instead of using the small one.

a box of mineral water

will finish it as soon as possible

Today, we went around komtar area to survey material to make lighter bamboo dome. It is because the bamboo dome need to be able to carry by three of us. Finally we found a joss paper house maker shop. We realized that shop was selling the suitable bamboo for us to make upper part of our dome. We learn alots too :D
