Looking forward to our project lab

Still tinkering with requirements and on how to kick start our design on solar cars. A few valuable info being fished out of the internet. And have to keep the addresses cos may have to quote the sources in the future. The main thing now is to get our project lab/room for us to start the project together. =)

Today had a surprise quiz during Maths 3 lecture (MP2006) ... luckily I was there to secure the 1/2 point (2 ques of 1/4 point each). It is maths... every 1/4 point counts!! Especially with my lousy track record of 2 Ds and a C for maths so far. =P

Hope that I will get good news from butler tomolo. As for tonight, as fairy tales and stories from Europe often have myths and legends on trolls underneath bridges. Been on the lookout and spotted a sign of troll activity in Rome. So, beware when u go underneath bridges lest you meet one. =)

Lots of stuff to do coming up!

Things are finally starting to get into motion, from the Strategic Management project, to MP 4011, to FYP. As usual, there is a time to rest, and a time where everything piles up. Lets hope i won't get the nervous breakdown on Nov 11 as predicted by David Butler, my FYP tutor. =)

Met him today to sign the form for FYP. After which i met the management project mates for discussion. At least can clear one project by end Sept, so not that bad. =)

Chanced upon DAC meeting, a group of undergrads who aquired the exquite taste of partially decomposing dead matter they stuff into their mouth in order to hasten the process of decay. Of which, the fabulous taste would come from decomposed fats (yum) and condiments made from fermented/preserved/processed stuff. No offense though ... hmmm .... in any case, there is quite a beautiful gal in that club, so Andy, go for it!!! =P


Lastly, as i continue on my design assignment or rather I hope to continue on the assignment as I would be sleeping soon, a picture of a door in Venice, Italy. It is rather common to have the door handle at the CENTRE of the door over there. However, still wondering whether the door opens on the right? the left? or is it just a ruse ... if u pull the door handle, the door will collapse on you. Killing curious visitors.

Remember ' Curiosity killed the cat?' ....so ... what did the cat want to know ?? Da cat will know that the door opens on the right. Heh.

How corrupted is your brain?


Looking at the sign at the back of the van ..... what would be your 1st reaction? Just wondering what the company is dealing with to come out with a logo such as this. Interesting though. =)

This picture was taken at the Spanish steps in Rome, Italy. As the van zipped passed me, was laughing away before trying out a shot at it. Luckily had a good cam which captured the picture quite sharply despite the van being in motion.

Now.... don't be shy, do tell what was the 1st impression of the picture? Shout it out in the tagboard. =)

Hmmm Venice...


Back in hall, forgotten to bring my digi cam so can show a pic of my room. Hopefully can start on FYP by this week. Tutorials are piling up too! Oh well.... step by step then.

Here's another picture of the day, a view within Venice and the famous gondola. There are thousands of bridges there ba, did cross bridges at least a hundred plus times for my 3 day stay there.

Finally started tutorials

Finally started tutorials.... heh. Industrial design. Get to draw some stuff, so not that bad, since i liked drawing. Here's a preview of my work ... hopefully i got the answer right.


Listening to 933 now... quite a long time never done so liao. Quite nice, but tired liao cos quite late. Time to ZZzzzZZzzz .....

but before that, here's a photo from Hungary, taken at the main train station in Budapest, think is the west train station: Keleti Pu. The signboard changes with flapping sounds as the the name plates flips to show the correct destination. Guess which train is the one i am going to board. =)



Haven't sorted out all the photos though, but think sorting out one a day will take me more than 3-4 years time. heh.. the bane of digital photographs. 20 rolls of film is easier to sort out for my Europe trip back in 2002.

the best sign i seen in Europe

For the trip to Europe, this sign here is the best i have seen. Heh. Couldnt find the actual size sign, so got a smaller one instead in Venice.


Only wonder if the sign says :- STOP ! or ..... no stopping as it crosses out the stop sign indicated by the blackened palm.... hmm ... =)

Anyway, now back in hall 3 in my final year of study in NTU.. and time to start blogging again. =)
