A sleepy day

Wanted to finish up stuff today, but was rather tired and.... well.... lazy ba. i guess. Woke up, typed a bit of the FYP report, then went for swimming at 11 with yx and dawn. Unfortuately, someone had booked the swimming pool for some experiments so... we went for lunch at can 2 instead.

Very hot and humid weather made me rather sleepy, so instead of finishing up fast, it took me a long time before i completed the corrections to my 1st draft of FYP report. So finally, i have completed the entire report and the corrections and formatting, with a grand total of 84 pages. Now am wondering if i want to include a few more details into the report, think they may be important, but rather sianz liao cos it is time to change my attention to the upcoming examinations, so only left about 16 days to study for it. Well, see if tomorrow i get any inspiration to add what i wish to add to the report, else it will be time to move on, still have the presentation to think about.

Still raining out there, and to think we agreed to delay our swim to 5 pm, looks like luck is not in our favour. Now, its time to hit the books... or rather more like hit the notes. =P


Well, heres a picture of my table, with the books which i had actually read through, except for about 2~3 books which i only read the relevant chapters. If you think the photo is rigged, you are slightly correct, cos i turned the books for this photo so that their spines are visible for this shot... else how can i see the computer screen? =P

2 down, one to go ...

Was very tied up the past 2~3 days, as was in preparation for the presentation yesterday and also the QA project. Met up with the presentation group twice, once on tues and again on Wed night. For both nights, stayed till quite late for everyone to get prepared and rehearsed for the actual presentation.

So, yesterday morning, we presented our topic of cultural differences, i would say all had improved in their presentation since the 1st time they did it on Tues night. And it all went quite well, except for a little hic-cup for some. Dawn's accidental hit on the bell at 3 mins 20 secs instead of 4 mins was also rather funny. Am rather pleased with my presentation, except i will need more pictures in my slides and speech clarity. heh =P

Also completed the QA project, understanding the concepts at the last minute. Looks like i have to start studying for exams soon... already late by 1~2 weeks liao. In previous semsters, started studying 4 weeks before exams, now it is slightly more than 2 weeks to go, and i have yet to find time to study. FYP would be 10 AUs worth at the end of the sem. hahaha

Oh... Butler returned me my 1st draft of FYP report, had just completed making the admendments, now i have to find out how to get my document all in UK english, cos apparantly, mine have spellings from UK and US (mainly due to spell check actually) cos my spelling quite sucky. xP

So the only project left is the visualisation project.. hope can finish it by next week. the countdown to exams is ticking louder and louder liao. =P

Oh well, back to typing the report, and looks like i can only arrange the technical drawings next week. .. sigh, too bad i can only do that in CAD/CAM lab.

New past time ...

The latest past time or fad of mine would be --> Professor hunting. Had been hunting for my supervising prof today, called him, waited in ambush at N2 office entrance but to no avail. Luckily met his other FYP student, then got the message that he would not be free today. Looks like i will continue the hunt tomorrow. =P

Time to start studying liao, but today rather hot and humid + stuffy cos the presence of wind eluded NTU, not even a gentle breeze .... so, not really in mood yet. heh ... but will be printing out all the notes today, since i have developed the bad habit of listening in lectures without notes last semester.

Mainly tired today, and still haven't strike toto 1st prize yet, so today, another lucky chap won 3 million dollars... Lets hope that he or she will use it wisely. =)

The difference between make up and no make up ......

Saw Roys' blog, and think the celebrity look-alike thingy is fun.. so i tried with 2 photos, one with make up, the other without... and i get .....

Without make-up, i look like some ang mor lang. 50% andy lau, 50% Kim Jong II... North Korea, here i come!

With make-up, i look like zar bor. And surprisingly, only Leslie Chung remained on this list. Jet Li andTony all new comers that i look like... haha... needs a HUGE pinch of salt for this one. But i guess it is fun. =P

Its a working Saturday!!

Today is a much free and easy day. Woke at 0855 this morning, quite some time didnt get to sleep so late already. Did the laundry, the bedsheets, cleaned up the room abit.

Going to work on the prof comm presentation slides and the QA project also, and finally back on the FYP report after taking a break for a day. Doing the references and appendices, which is quite a bother actually, so better start now so that my final draft will be ready before the dateline. Especially since i was late for the 1st draft..... =P

Added a new cute soft toy in the collection above the TV set. So it adds up to 4 of them. heh. The latest addition is the cute Doraemon with the uber cute expression. =D


As shown in the figure 1.1 (OMG !!! been writing too much reports!!) .. ha ha ha.. =P The 3 on the left are mine, and yes, that is a croaking frog, press on its stomach, it not only croaks, its cheeks will flash red too! the reason why i liked it? -> its croaking is better than my singing. Ee-or is Yongxi's, as u can see, his sole purpose in life is to watch TV (Ee-or, not yx, though i guess he wont mind that too .. hmmmmm).

Well.... its a wonderful morning for me, wishing all not only a wonderful morning, but also a wonderful weekend ahead!

Finally .. i did it!!!

At 0100 hrs, on this quiet wee hours of the morning of 23 March, i finally completed the 1st draft of my FYP report. Although there is still references and appendices to do up, the majority of the work, including formatting have been completed. *Phew*

In the end, the report spanned 81 pages, with approximately 64 pictures and about 10 graphs/tables, filling up 9,218 KB of my harddrive. Having settled at about 10,000 words, it would be the document with the most words i have written. And i hope to break this record once i get started on my book. heh ...

Well ... its time to get some good shut eye. =D

If all goes well ......

I should be able to compelte the FYP 1st draft report today, that is, if everything goes smoothly. Left one simultaion to run, hopefully can be completed in less than 2 hours. The conclusion is still 1/5 done, as i cant really conclude much without the results and 1 or 2 things more for detail design.

Currently at page 75, most of the formatting is done, not to mentin i broke 11,000 words... then again, those include the list of contents, abstract etc, so should be about 10,000+. Hopefully my draft is correct, then i wont need to re-do anything and can prepare for my exams. Maybe i should set a target for this coming examinations instead of just do my best.... hmmm....

Oh well, need pictures to for my blog, else so boring, all words like my report... haha
