Simulation

I'm frustrated.....my model just won't simulate. I've been at the computer begging it to simulate...trying all sorts of ways.....the nice way ("pleaseeee simulate....."), the fierce way ("simulate la u bodoh computer!!!) and the agitated way ("simulate..simulate...simulate...haiyo.....why la u dowan to simulate.....ish ish ishhhhh....."). Arhhh...now i've given up. Will do it back in my room. Hoping that when I installed my MATlab, I included the simulink. Hehehehe. And now, I'm in the lab, passing off my time playing computer games at www.orisinal.com while waiting for my replacement quiz at 4.30pm. My favourite is "Pocketful of Stars"....a little girl jumping and catching stars in the night sky. :) Going jogging later this evening...dunno if I still have any more energy left after climbing flight after flights of stairs all day. Crossing my fingers that we won't meet any monkeys though...we're going the "jungle way" today. It's more shady. Okie dokie...it's 5 minutes to 4.30pm. Gotta get going. Have a class til 7pm but it's cancelled. Yipee!!! So long...fare thee well.... :)

Hmmm...

Hmmm... Gonna do something impulsive today. Not quite sure how it will turn out. But crossing my fingers that it will be nice. Hehehe. It's gonna be a surprise. Can't wait to see the reactions of my frens back in uni. Wakakakkakaka :P

Miracle

It's a miracle!!! I'd made up my mind that Analogue Electronics II was my toughest subject this semester. What with Dr. Cloud as my lecturer. Doing the many homeworks he gave us each week and the prelabs was really a torture. Each homework contained only 6 questions but it took me around 6 hours to finish all the questions. We even had to skip classes to finish our prelab.....eventhough we combined our brains...our whole gang...around 8 of us!!! Hehehe.

It seemed impossible to score for this subject. Dr. Cloud would constantly remind us that it was near impossible to get an "A" for Analogue Electronics II. But lo and behold......I found out that I got full marks for both my Homework #1 and Homework #2!!! Plus almost full marks for our first lab!!! This was definitely not me...not me at all..... It was God..... It's a miracle... Really.... I couldn't have done it without His help... "Cast all your cares on Me and I will make your paths straight. " I had to juggle my time between studies, practices and church activities. I guess all things really are possible through Christ who strengthens us. :)

Happy Holidays!!!

Yay!!! Finally I'm back home. Home Sweet Home. :) Slept all I wanted last night. Had the longest bus ride back to Penang yesterday. The UTP bus driver dropped me and Kak Ilmi off at Muzium Negara. We took a taxi from there to Pudu station. We reached the station at around 325pm. We started looking for tickets back...me to Penang and Kak Ilmi to Alor Setar. I managed to get the 330 bus and Kak Ilmi the 400pm bus. And so, I rushed to terminal 7 where my bus was and hopped on. Unfortunately my bus broke down on not far from KL and we were delayed at least 2 hours. The whole journey took us 6 and a half hours!! That was when Jesse said, "See....I wanted to teman u...but u tak nak..." :P

The stay at JW Marriott was great. The food was wonderful. PETRONAS really treats us well. Buffet breakfast, lunch, tea break, and dinner. And Jesse said that must be why he's gained so much weight this semester. Hahaha. :D But I'm glad to say my weight hasn't been affected. ( He's gonna kill me if he finds out wat I've written here) Hehehe. :P The bed was very very comfy. It was a single bed but it seemed much bigger than one...though not as big as a double bed. The bed itself was very soft...the comforter thick and fluffy...and.....there were three pillows on each bed!!! Two square big soft ones (the size of two normal pillows joined together) and one feather pillow of normal size.

We had many praises about the performance as well. All said it was nice. Eena and I really enjoyed ourselves playing the songs, especially the last few ones...wat we wud call "Syok Sendiri"... hehehe. Ya...enjoyed myself this time. The choice of songs was very nice too. We laughed so much that my stomach muscles are still aching. :P

Finally.....

Ahhh.....finally I can breath a sigh of relieve..... :) It's been a tough 2 weeks...really really tough..... Haha.. What with the performance in Ipoh, quizzes, tests, and the countless assignments, not forgetting the much dreaded lab reports.

Went through a tough time doing my analogue prelab report. It was 3am in the morning. I felt I had to do at least something instead of leaving it to Erica, my lab partner. And so, I started of with designing the amplifier...calculating the values of the resistors and capacitors. However, due to lack of sleep, or just my crankiness, I burst into tears because there wasn't any progress at all and I just felt so silly, not knowing how to do. Chris was so very kind in giving me some hints in how to make assumptions and which formulas to use. But finally, I still passed the prelab to Erica, who was so kind to do all the calculations and type out most of the report, and I just had to type in the calculations and stuff. Thank you so much!!! :)

However, the next day I had to go for the full rehearsal in Bangunan Perak with very swollen eyes. It was horribly embarrassing... Fortunately, no one said a thing... hehehe. It was rather difficult to see through such small eyes. Luckilly for me, they got bigger by the time the performance started. :P But I look ugly in all the pictures. Small eyes don't suit me...

Well, had 2 tests and 2 quizzes last week...on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. This week we had 3 tests all one after another on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It felt as if we were already having our finals. And we suddenly recalled what Dr. Balbir Singh, our Physics lecturer in our foundation year, warned us about our future in UTP..."Engineering students only sleep 4 hours per day". We realised that this "prophesy" of his has finally come to pass. Hehe. Well...finally all the tests and stuff are over.

Merdeka!!!!!

Unfortunately, I still can't go back to Penang. Have to stay back for a performance on Wednesday. But am planning to skip tomorrow afternoon's practice. Wanna go Ipoh "kai kai" with Peck Koon, James and Jesse. :) So will try to "ambil hati" Cikgu tomorrow. Hehehhehee. Seems like our Keroncong group ( or isit the Virtuoso group?)...they're almost the same anyway... Seems like we've suddenly become part-time musicians. We've so far stayed at Trader's Inn, Palace of the Golden Horses and JW Mariott. This time we'll be going to JW Mariott again. It's fun...though sometimes it's tiring especially in the midst of exams. But...it kinda makes life in uni more exciting. :)
