Just another day

Oh well, today lab has visitors from america, stanely morgan, they are probably going to invest in NTU. Actually, suppose to present my FYP to them, but cos of the tight schedual, and they came to our lab late, we didn't have time to present at all.

Wah lao, got me so excited in the morning and my FYP partner also very excited, he actually woke up early to go lab to prepare.

Anyway, is gona be very stressful again, cos monday have to meet moderator. It also means next monday the moderator will mark my final report & also have to demonstrate to him my simulations & hardware. Scary....

By the way, so jealous my parents are in Anthens now, they will be going for 10days, yesterday morning they arrived. earlier on I msg her, she was shopping at Pull & Bear, and before that she was in camper, she said the shoes quite expensive, so i told her dun buy lor.

She says the pull & bear stuff quite cheap there. the t-shirt 20 bucks only. Anyway, she claims that it is very cold there. Anthens cold, but singapore is hot lor.

Hall very stuff & warm, have been opening my door but no pirvacy.

I love holidays, wish i could join them.

I should stop dreaming and work hard for FYP & study for quiz and do my work.
Wake up!!!!!!!!

Retail Therapy

To make myself happy, I went to buy a new phone last night around 11pm, nokia E65. Didn't exactly want to buy new phone for the time being, cos I might want to check out iphone when i am in the states.

Hiyar bad thing about me, i like to change phone & try new gadgets. On wed I was at jurong point, then went to see phone cos mr lee wanted to buy new phone not me. Then I saw a nokia phone that i quite like cos of the wifi function. means when i am shitting in the shopping center toilet or anywhere with wireless i can use the phone to log online. This makes me very excited & happy.

The phone has 3G function but no front camera, so quite pointless, either the person see me when 3G or i see the other party, can't be simultaneously. But my main focus is not 3G phone liao. Before this new phone, my previous 2 phones are 3G, to think abt it i seldom 3G with anyone.

So i concluded that i dun need a 3G phone, i dun need a phone with 3.2 megapixel camera cos i have a digital camera. Since i dun need such function, i think this wifi phone will serve me quite well.

Mr Lee, tempted me by showing the yahoo acutions for my phone and found a dealer selling it at slightly cheaper then retail price. Brand new with unfilled warrenty. So last night, after lab ard 10.30pm, i went to clementi to meet the guy. :)

So pek cheak, we stayed back in the lab till 10.30, the research student left ard 9 plus, but we continued to do. Sigh!!! still no results, the hardware just dun work, the signals are wrong & totally distorted which wasn't suppose to be the case. Each time, when we on the supply voltage of up to 150V i damn scared lar. Cos any min can explode & catch fire if the circuit is not stable and partner & I may get burnt & die especially no one is ard late at night.

So freaky, my heart pumps very fast whenever the power is turned on, immediately if the circuit sends out funny sound or the power supply indicates high voltage & over current, I have to react them fast and turn off the switch as fast as I can without damaging anything.

Sigh, end of the week liao, hopefully after lunch it will work. still have a few more hours before 5.30pm. God pls save us & let it work....

Dark Times

Is been quite awhile since I blog and spend time on MSN. Now is 12.17am, Wed. Time really flies very quickly.
Have been very very very very very very very busy lately, too many things to do and too little time and a very sad thing happened last 2 Wed, 28th Feb.

on the 28th Feb, afternoon just before I was going to eat my cup noodle before going to school to do FYP, I received a phone call from my mum. Immediately, I burst into tears and was at lost for a few mins. I will never forget wat happened on that day. I lost somebody who is close to me. All this happened too sudden, when I get back to my senses, I quickly packed my bag & changed up & call for a cab.
It took me quite awhile to get a cab as it was raining heavily. Wat a bad timing.

After 28th Feb, really marks the start of my busy days and lost of sleep. Haven't been sleeping well for the past 2 weeks, only slept for a few hours everyday and it wasn't those deep sleep at all, keep thinking alot of things and worried for my FYP report which I have no clue on how to explain the circuit.

Finally, on Monday Night, I couldn't take it. I slept from 10pm to 8am. I was suppose to edit and write my FYP report but I was too tired too do so, my head was spinning and i reach the point where I couldn't think anymore. Had dinner with my parents at Rochester Park , cos it was my dad's bday, it was a low key bday dinner for my dad as we are not suppose to have any joyous occassion for the time being. I am so glad after dinner, they sent me back to hall, actually if they dun send me back to hall, i wouldn't even leave school to go out for dinner.

The FYP report seems to be endless, anyway, I am not the worst, my FYP partner is worst of then me, this week he has 2 presentation, HRM & Professional Communication and the stupid HRM still have to go meet the manager to confirm the business plan. SIGH!!! And 2 reports, HRM and FYP report. HRM is really a killer and takes up alot alot of time and energy. All EEE students will know, how torturing it is. Lucky I took it when I didn't go for attachment.

Anyway, FYP partner if u have time to read my blog, jia you kae. :) I also waiting for the hardware report. Not like my software part is completely done lar. Anyway, we have to work faster. SIGH!!!

I really wish I can stop the time. Sigh!!! back to work. Have to stay up again.
Humm... and poor FYP partner still discussing HRM for tmr's presentation. Going to be 1am. I remembered last time when I did my HRM, I stayed in school overnight to prepare the presentation slides and type the report.
Started from evening to 5am, then went to bukit timah for prata breakfast. This is just one of the terrible nights, there were a few other nights, but ended earlier like 1 or 2 am.
