Basically the last of the year 2007 was spent with a few gatherings mainly from my jc friends. Watched so much movies of late that we almost wanted to settle on alvin and the chipmunks on new year's eve, but we decided against it and went window shopping instead... That was where we spotted this cream crackers sofa in furniture shop.
It would be so cool that have one of that in my room lar! Ha. Nvm anyways, earlier on lunch was at riverside Indonesia's restaurant. It was quite cheap for a 7-course meal (or was it 8, nvm forgot) for only like 15++ per person. Well, my jc friends like quite camera shy one, so i only took the picture of the food nia.
Well, good bye year 2007, it has been a great year and lets hope 2008 will be just as terrific for all of us! =)
00:00 28 December 2007 to 23:59 on 30 December 2007
Important date and link you dun wana miss if you are going to declare your s/u option! So here it is.
And also if you are changing your TE to UEM, change it today via the Online Degree Requirement Check.
Well lets see, i am rather amused by my results, considering the fact that i am quite honestly thinking that i am screwed this semester. So it turns out i did pretty gd, although i would say that the general overall results wasn't really of that much interest to me than that one module which quite luckily i got a darn good grade which will at least allow me to even think of getting that 8mcs ic design module which i wana take in year 4.
It seems that pessimism sometimes do have its advantages. I was so certain that i am going to screw up big time for my dsp that i went to change the module from a technical elective into a UEM, so as to allow me to have the option of s/u-ing it. In the end, it turns out alright.
Our project module, we walked out of the presentation feeling screwed. No words can described how much we do not want to see a B-ish grade for a module we pump in so much effort and time on. But it turns out to be a B+, still B-ish but at least for me its decent enough.
Electronic gaming was a disaster. But still, i was expecting something much much worse. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter cos this is going into the s/u dump for certain.
Microprocessor has been one of those very uncertain module i had. The paper itself brought about much uncertainty with all the uncertain answers i gave and those stupid mistakes i committed, and not forgetting to mention the uncertain project results which was never released, leaving us with no feedback as to how well we did whatsoever.
Integrated analog design. Well lets see, i enjoyed the module, learning the design methodology and the different topologies for circuit design. I spent darn lots of time on the project in order to get the most optimized results i possible could (optimization cost about 20% of the project grade). Although mine wasn't the best around, i do enjoy the learning process that led me to it, compromising certain specifications for another. The final paper went quite well and at the end of the day, i gave myself a pat on the back for a module well done.
This is actually my best sem...somehow..., after s/u-ing the gaming of course...
Now lets see: It was a 10 days thingy and it rained pretty much everyday. And i got like 4 days outfield. I think that pretty much sums it up the feeling of the whole ict. Bloody hell, you guys better pray hard your ict dun ever fall on a monsoon season. Its totally demoralizing, to be wet, cold, hungry and tired out there in the forest.
Well then, my role in this BME was a rebro, bridging comms and making sure all stations can get each other. The first mission the rebro wasn't working well, so we relay like siao, scouts especially, so much sitrep and spotrep...zzz. So never slept on the first night. 2nd mission the rebro was working pretty ok, so we manage to catch some sleep.
One pretty funny conversation i relayed was that of the pioneer pc and the co:
pioneer pc: minefield cleared, who should i report to?
co: alpha coy
pioneer pc: alpha is down ah, so who should i report to?
co: alpha platoon 3
pioneer pc: alpha 3 also down, now wat?
co: nvm, go take over alpha 3 and attack enemy from the back.
(Long pause... obviously stunned by the decision, cos pioneer normally dun fight)
pioneer pc: err we dun have ammo ah
co: nvm go melee go melee, i.e. use you bayonet.
(our side and the co signaller were laughing like hell)
pioneer pc: roger..........
co: try your best
(really really long pause)
pioneer pc: pioneer kena suppressed and captured.
- signal platoon's bunk is on the highest floor again...6th floor..
- condition of bunks and toilet is pretty good, and every bed have a personal powerpoint.
- vending machines are everywhere, so do bring more coins in for your reservist..ha
- signal platoon got the best platoon again...somehow... and we booked out pretty early, right after alpha coy.
- my navigation skill quite cmi, possibly due to the fact that i was made confused at the start of the exercise by a certain trainer who gave me the wrong starting location on the map. But still, i need some kind of navigation training and familiarize myself with lck area...but then again, next ict onwards will have jackson.
- i rode my bike for like almost everyday, either for orientation, topping up of petrol or for the exercise.
- i fell off my bike once, resulting in bandages around my hands, although it wasn't as bad as it looks.
- Oh ya, 3rd ict coming up june next year (low key one)... i am so going to finish my 10 yrs cycle by 30 yrs old... lol
- well thats all for now, later then add more if i remember, shag now.
Just finished my last paper yesterday and it's like almost time for me to go for the Christmas chalet in jurong camp already. Argh..
Had a quick look at the training program, its going to be 10 days straight, no book outs on weekends. In fact, we are highly likely to be having some counterstrike actions in some forest on sunday with universal rounds or maybe the sensor thingy (gosh i hate this one)..
So there, will be away from 10th dec till 19th. Dun bother checking this space. Out.
