I finally "finalized" my FYP yesterday. Report deadline is this coming Monday and I am still at my page 4. Luckily I extended my report deadline with my supervisor by 2 more weeks. If not I think I have to jump from 11th floor liao.

Attended Cheng's son 1 month old party. Met Feng chat with him about his plannings and preparation for wedding and stuff. Was a bit shock of the amount of money needed for a wedding. Total up everything for hotel and flat alone will cost him close to half a million! He kept emphazing the need to save up early and I can't agree on that more after the shock. Though this belief has already been inside my mind long ago already. But it got firmer and deeper after the chat. Hopefully I can get a job with good pay after my graduation so I have money to start some investment. Though the market is at bad time now, I still believe that one should plan and start investment as early as possible. Because only with investment, money can then grow and not strink. And when I say investment, it also mean homework has to be done before any decision made because INVESTMENT != GAMBLE. To win in a gamble, luck is needed but to win in an investment, luck and wisdom are needed.

SLOW reaction

After meeting my sup today, I went to can A to join Sam and others for lunch. While queuing at the Jap cursine stall, a friend purposelly knock into me from behind. It took me around 2+sec to react to a shock and another 2+sec to turn and recognise him. We were both shocked to see how SLOW my reaction was today. Even when I was in my sup's office, he commented twice that my reaction is slow. I guess that might be because of the lack of sleep for the recently. My turn into bed time lately have been around 4-5 am and wake up at around 7+ near 8am to 11am. There was once I couldn't really sleep and went to school straight in the morning.

I told my friends how slow my reaction was when I got back and explained it as "slow context switch due to memory overloaded and processor heated up too high" to my friend. Actually these terms are related to one of our current module, Avanced microProceessor system, and my friend commented that my future wife will turn crazy if I keep communicate in these terms with her. Well, I guess thats true if my future wife is non tech person but if otherwise, this way of communicating, in my perspective, is quite fun actually. LOL.

pressurized rice cooker

Was jogging yesterday late night(actually early morning because after mn) again and thinking about my FYP as I ran. Suddenly this analogy came into my mind.

"I am a highly pressurized rice cooker which doesn't produce rice. It is because there is nosubstance inside me in the first place or its still not time yet?"

Have been jogging q.frequently lately because jogging helps me destress and after the jog, at a cool and quiet place, I tend to be able to think systematically and able to analyze better.

2 weeks before the project should end rightfully. At this point of time, I have came out with something I considered as not correct. Hopefully I will be able to produce that I can satisfy with by then.
