FINAL RESULT

Today marks the end of my 3.5 yrs of uni school life. The result was release 12mn while I was trying to help my client troubleshoot some configuration error through remotely control connection. Due to some misunderstanding/confusion on the school website, I didn't actually plan to check my result today 12mn and was shock to reliease that the result had been released from the friends msn nick.

After seening the result, I felt sad and happy for both gd and bad news. The bad news is that I recieved my one and only lower grade (C and below) in my uni life. My AI module kana a C+. I thought I did okay for that module and so I suspect what I saw and guess was right....

What I saw: The useless prof that I dislike very much for my AI module purposely peak at my matrix number when collecting my paper.
What I suspect: Needless to say, its pretty obvious....


The good news is that almost everything went according to plan, I finally got my 2nd upper class. My FYP got a A- and vert surprised to know the module that I thought I did badly got a B+. GPA for this sem alone is 4.04.

Coming to the end of 2008, everything goes q.smoothly... Its time to plan for year 2009. First thing to do now is to arrange to resume NS. After so many years, I still have the negative feelings for NS... So much for now. Think this should be my last post for 2008. Looking forward to 2009 (not really. hahaa) and its time to have a little celebration. =)

mind supplement

With a bit of reading about motivation and stuff, I become feeling better. Suddenly I realised that actually the motivationless symptom that I suffered is actually an illness that makes me feel down. My mind is ill and needs mind-food or mind-supplements. And with some deep thinking about life and goals, I found direction and light.

When I did my deep thinking, I frequently apply a technique that I realised its usefulness when I did my FYP. During that period of time, I faced tons of doubts, confusion and stress. Lost direction and the ability to analyze problems. Then I started picking up late night jogging to relax myself and followed a problem analysis session quietly at the neighbourhood fitness corner.

The technique I used is actually an understand the problem technique that ask myself "what is the problem? What is it that I don't know?". This technique is especially useful when one lost his/her analytical ability through overflooded with doubts. How the technique works is self explainatory and a commonly known name for it is divide-and-conquer.

It is very hard to solve a problem when one doesn't have the answer to all the sub problems within the big problem or even unable to see what is EXACTLY the problem. Its only when you break down the big problem to smaller ones then you find out what exactly is the problem. So in this sense, the problem is actually the problem of skipping the process of understanding the problem and jump straight into the process of solving the problem.

No motivation

Suddenly feel so free and lost. Haven been doing anything productive since I woke up in the evening till now. It isn't that there are nothing at all for me to read up or work on, but I just don't have the motivation at all. Hmmm... this is bad...

051208 aloha changi chalet

Just came back from Uni chalet at Aloha changi - fairy point 4 chalet. Didn't get to sleep not because we were having activities till the morning but its because of insomnia. I think I am the only 1 who did not sleep the entire night. Wanted to make myself sleep but the more I lay on the bed, the more awake I became. arggghhh...

Anw the chalet is very big. There are 6 rooms and a few store rooms but only around 15 of us on the first day (Which is the only day we planned to have it because 2nd day is reserved for another group). The gathering is q.nice though there isn't alot of activities. Basically the things that we do are BBQ, watch TV, go changi v. walk walk plus eat dessert and fried some nuggets and fries. Though these are just simple activities, but I think we enjoyed ourselve very much or at least I enjoyed very much. Maybe its because of the click or because we are freeman and women or because we know that after these last few gatherings, we are going to have little chance to see each other again...

For the past 3 years, I have been very into myself and limit myself from these activities. Q.a anti socialist I guess. Never thought I would enjoy gathering with my uni friends like this before. Come to think about it, its q. saddening that the ending of the uni stage have finally arrive and have to begin another stage of life that have so much uncertainty in it. But before that, I gotta resume my NS most probably this coming early Jan. Dunno where will I be posted to, dunno how my results will fare, dunno hows the econmy will become when I finished my service and dunno which job will I get into... anw...

Life has so much uncertainty and its how you act upon these uncertainty that determines what kinda life you live.

Last academic bachelor day in uni (official)

YEA!! Finally finished my FYP presentation! The past few days are stressful. Chionging journal and presentation stuff to the max. This morning presentation is considered as smooth I guess. Though its not very good but I think happy about it because I just can't wait to get over it! After the presentation, I went to see the prof to submit all the FYP stuff. Briefly chat for a while with him and recieved 1 gd and bad new. The good news is, the project is ok and the bad news is that I have to continue working on the journal.

Went over to eugene's house for uni gathering. This gathering is q.meaning as it marks the ending of our uni life officially (if no hip cups). Had lots of po piah, alcohol today and emotions between the 10 of us. We took q afew pics using jin yan, linda and linus's camera. Hope to post it on the blog soon. =) happy day.
