On Tuesday, we start to do our discussion in the Tesco which is nearest with USM. Before starting the discussion, we were having ice-cream to relax our mind first.

After that, we start the discussion. We had discussed how to make the dome and the material to use.

In the discussion, we had chosen 2v Dome with 70 centimetres of radius. We also calculate the amount of bamboo to make this dome and we need to prepare two different length of bamboo that is 43.26 centimetres and 38.25 centimetres. Below are the sketches that we had sketch when the discussion.
Still in the discussion after an hour.
Almost Finished.
Shing Iee was completing the final sketches.

Finally, we had finished the sketch for the production of bamboo dome.

We were very happy after finished our discussion.


Around 8.30 in the evening, we went back to our own hostel and may be will starting the production on this Sunday.
