Thesis!

"When you get better, the game gets harder" was a saying I heard before. How true.

It's all gonna end in approximately 2 weeks time. Draft thesis submission is next friday while the final revised version on the friday after it. I've been working my socks off for the fyp, but nothing seems to be working fine and well for me this whole week. Got stucked in the producing the correct timings for my pwm pulses. I'm having a really bad time going through this as I can't progress on the real testing of my circuit without the correct pwm pulse.

So many obstacles before I can finally complete my fyp. This is definitely the toughest time yet in my life. Everyday you go back, you felt you're a little smarter, but not smart enough to complete your tasks. Wish me luck peeps.

Happy Birthday, Mum

About month ago, we celebrated my mum's birthday. We had a simple celebration, a dinner at Ah Yat Abalone Forum and a drink at Quattro.

The waiting time at Ah Yat was horrible. We changed our booking to half an hour later, but I guessed they did not update to their system which caused our reserved table to be given out to other people. We waited for nearly 45 mins before getting a table. Fortunately, the food was so good that it's able to redeem itself. So let the pictures do the talking :)

There are some other foods that I didn't manage to take photo of it, but overall, I'd say the food taste damn good. The roasted duck is one of the best that I've ever tasted, the skin is crispy while the sauce blends perfectly together with it. I feel a little regret though, having shark's fin soup as it's primary factor as of why sharks are in danger of extinction.

We went for a drink at Quattro, and happy hour was still on! We sang mum a birthday song and cut the caked there.

Happy Birthday, mum. I love you so much.

Wasn't too long ago when the sem has just began but we already planning for a getaway, and this time our trip was to Port Dickson. Just want to make it short, highlights of our trip:

The Good

  1. The drive to Port Dickson through the old Jln Semenyih was so fun! And it was made perfect by the Dim Sum breakfast. Cheap & nice.P2080275
  2. Playing by the beach around 1 noon wasn't really great, it was borderline crazy, but we still had loads of fun!
  3. By the evening, our beach adventure continues with the banana boat ride. The first time for me, dear and Pauline. Drop 4 times into the water & dear nearly cried. Fun. P2080322
  4. Bbq by the beach for dinner was awesome. Food was prepared excellently by Tommy and co. & was cooked just as good! Great food: chicken wing, garlic bread, burger and marshmallow.
  5. Whiskey for the night & saw the girls down the shots because of their good luck. P2090351
  6. An unplanned drive to Malacca for chicken rice & sightseeing.

The Bad:

The skin suffered from sunburn after all the time under the hot sun.20022009573

FYP

I've been missing again. Spent most of my time in the project lab and looking at codes & datasheet over and over again. And now I'm running out of time to complete the circuit so I can begin the analysis of different method. I can't wait for the damn project to be completed!

Today has been good for me though. I've finally met a long overdue breakthrough on the programming, and seeing the pulses that I've expected.

04032009582 Felt a little relieved thus decided to revive the blog. Will be back for more updates.
