Back in UTM

Today my aim is to check the robot is in full fitness then let it start running. i know it might be a long shot but i think i might just make it. yesterday, i spend most of the time in bus with harry potter. its really interesting especially its the 7 book. i wanted to continue but the amount of assignment in hand, make me need to put the thing aside for the moment.
Coming back here was not really easy, my father called me and ask me why i didn't tell him. i really though i told him already. maybe i tell him when he wasn't aware, or i just didn't tell him. but at least its settle now.
There is lots to do, hope you are having a nice day too. p.s i wanted to take photos to be upload but too bad the camera i bring along is functioning oddly. i'll try to settle it as soon as i can. see you soon. take care

Back at Home at last

Today i rush home. There is quite a few reason i did it. but i don't think i will talk about it too much.
1stly the journey back today was not very smooth, i have to wait for bus to bus station for almost 1 and half hour. i knew i miss the earlier bus as i saw it by passing me in as i was about to walk towards it.
As for yesterday robot progress, i didn't really have a get go early in the afternoon, until after dinner, i push myself to finish doing the circuit, at last completing it around 2am. Then i tested the most importent funtion of the circuit. it was a great sucess as i don't need to check too much.
When i go back i'll need to test the other funtions. but now back at home, i'll try to do as much as i can. but i am doubting i can do much.
Just hope i can finish a small amount of task.
Wish me luck

Scary night

Yesterday, i did not stop my progression at 12, as i didn't completed till where i need to stop. Therefore i continue on till around 3.30 before returning to my room. it was a nearer room to where i am always at. so i can go back to room only when i want to sleep.
But there is one thing still the same, its been quite sometime, i don't quite like to be alone, it feel like i am being watch, moreover i am so so so tired. each time i am not at a familiar place the feeling gets stronger, especially out in the open. should i be scare? i wish so much that there is someone to walk with me, it feel so much better even if there is someone on the phone with me i'll feel better as i am distracted. Today i got up early because its 8 sth and i can get back to sleep for what ever reason...
oh, about the robot, the circuit board (a.k.a brain) of the robot is like half-way done, i did it till 2 sth to be at somewhere i can stop. i think i can finish it in half a day if i can concentrate. but if not i'll have a nap before continuing, i dont want to do too much mistake on this, its a very time wasting progress. Wish me luck...

Start building the brain

Yesterday i did complete building the body of the robot now i'm starting with the brain. of the robot. I did a whole day collecting the component and designing how to build it. i should able to complete it today. hope i have not much trouble with it. that should be it.

This few days i been doing some routine, that is online every morning to read the news paper. today i am caught out with Dr. M and i am really interested to follow the news and situation in China. Its nice to see their badminton team just win the thomas and uber cup but with the earthquake, its such a pity to them. situation there wont get back to normal anytime soon, i just wish every other thing will go their way. with you can just spare a min to pray for them. wish that god will protect them.

May all be bless,
good luck
Never give up
Try your best

Robot progress

After day one, my robot structure is almost out after a day work. i didn't have much problem in the beginning except that i fail to the best motor for my robot therefore settle for something not as optimum.
but this morning, there were a part i put on my robot. i have already draw my mark on the thing but after coming back to the lab from my rest, it was taken by one of my teammate. maybe he didn't know it was mine.
it should be ok now, although i dont know the replacement i found is bigenough or not.
That is all for now.
back to work
bye

Work begin

Today i begin my robocon work again. this time i do not know how long will it take. but things that i'll be doing is quite interesting. Building a artificial intelligent robot for the the time. more over the robot is a individual robot but we are allow to discuss with one and other team member.
I believe it would be very very interesting as this will be the 2nd time we are to build a robot each to compete with one and other.
Today,we built the game floor for the game. it was said to be fastest completion of game field. its nice as we don't need to waste too much time on it.
Later i'll be learning a new microchip.
Sorry for the interruption yesterday around 8.40 someone disturb me and i were to abandoned typing this.

Company at last

Out of the blues yesterday after typing "so so so lonely" i was on my way back to my room. then i just though i stop by the robocon lab to see what is inside. With some surprise i saw my robocon leader back in the lab already. It was a great relief so see some one back at last.

After that i got news there were more ppl around already. kind of relief and i later have no mood to go back to the room but just sit around in the lab.

Now i am in the lab online. most of them are just about to arrive back and others are sleeping in their room. i can't sleep much longer because i know i slept too much already.

I am now to determine to get my robot ready fast for the up coming team member competition. Although i am now still not very sure with the rules. but i am still going to do it.

Good luck to me
Good luck to all my readers
Sweetheart promise me you will prepare yourself well for your exam.
Thanks for reading

So so so lonely

Being back in the University make me feel so so so lonely.
I can choose to go back but i didn't. Hope i didn't make the wrong choice this time.
The last time i did this was not fun until i actually complete it progress. but i didn't spent anytime back home nor relaxing.
I have not been back home with my family for a long time. I wish to be with my family and you more. Will this be for another 3 year where i'll complete my studies or will this carry on till my working time.
There is time i just want to be normal not doing anything extra.
But sometimes things make me think i am lacking far behind others.
I am not in a best course, not in the best Uni, not competing with the best and also being slow compare to ppl my age.
It really bother me when i know i am not up there.
I do wish i can finish this fast then being with people i want to be.
The truth is i like being around people. I do not need them to be smart, i just want them to be human like that enjoy time with me.
I don't like being by myself, its too bad that is the case. waiting for my robocon teammate to be back is one thing but even with them around i still miss everything back home.
My parents are back home and getting older and i am not back home with them at all. My two brothers, they are such great company all the time. i know i dont talk with them much now days but i like being with them very very much.
Moreover My sweetheart is always back at home alone, i want to get back to be with her, i wish she could get more company at school too. I don't want her to be alone and only studying only.
To all my friends, i holiday period again. i know its the best time to be with friends and family. but i am back at uni doing some robot project...
About this project, i have receive many comment, some say its a waste of time, some say is good for the future. i am here only because i like the project. but i don't like it when i am all by myself waiting. I don't like to be a loner but i have to cope with it all the time.
I hate this...
What can i do to get out of this? Where will the light come from? How long more will i have to be like this...

8 days Survey Camp

hello my fellow readers, hope you didn't wait too long for me.
I just completed my 8days survey camp in Malacca, now back in the campus waiting for the 2nd part of my holiday to begin.
lets begin with the previous 8 days 1st. basically the camp was a camp for civil engineer student from my Uni to test us how to do surveying in the real world.
The 1st day, everyone was anxious with the program and with what was the things to be going on. But in the end its was rather a bored day. my bus was the last bus to arrive at the camp site almost 1- 2 hours late, moreover the lorries with our tools came another 1-2 hours late because of they lost their way. As the result of that the program for our 1st day have to delay until the next day as our field job can't be done in the night be cause of lack of visibility. All in all the 1st day was just about getting along with friends and just chatting with them
On the 2nd day, we begin with a roll call, then continue with the national anthem and school song. After that we proceed to our 1st job(the equipment test), it was a hard job as out of the 5 test we were suppose to do, we only did one in campus and only understand how to do another, while the other three we have no idea what was it about. sigh... Therefore the 2 hour procedure took us almost 4-5 hours to complete. Then we go on to our 2nd job known as Traversing. its basically to set up station and measure for another job. We had trouble with that as my group site had too much obstruction there for we did something different from the others group. its no fun at all, being under the sun for the whole day and still not catching up with the half day we lost.
The 3rd day, we started where we stop. then continue with a new job(detailing) my group were doing a fine job as we didn't loss time although we didn't gain time either. it was a tired day, as in the night there were extra programming lesson for 2 members of each group. It ended late then only i get my rest.
Day 4, a new job is on the card but job 2&3 is not 100% yet. we did all we can to catch up spiting the group into 2 and increasing the speed to finish the job. there was a small celebration when job 2&3 was done with time to spare for job 4. My group was able to complete half of the 4th job which was a great accomplishment.:)
The 5th day can be say one of the best day of the whole camp. My group finish 1st on the day new job as we were suppose to finish treasure hunt before continue our previous job. addition to that my group was able to finish that job at the 2ndn part of the day. a really big accomplishment where my group was the only group to do so^^ today, i did a presentation for one of the job, which everyone suppose to do so. i didn't do such a good job as i am too fast when talking. sigh...
On day 6, program was on hold for other group to catch up. therefore i started by helping one of my friends. then only started my computer job. p.s it was the only day i had time to play with the sea water and really sleeping in the afternoon for most of the time :p
2 days to go, the program continue with a new job known as setting-out(setting out a building base). Most group didnt have much trouble completing it, therefore most of us use the day for some important rest.(i over slept till have no time to go into the sea....) in the night was another presentation hour.
One day to go, then we realize our computer work was far from done. with the limited computer, we rush to finish the work. Most work was done by me in my group as i was the only one handling it and the others will be slow doing it. p.s there were closing ceremony to attend to. Therefore most of us were very very busy. In the end i only finish my job after the ceremony and have a good rest for the 1st night(reason we have to squeeze 4 person into a queen size bed and single bed combine together, and i was position at the join plus i was the only one without a pillow which make my sleep bad for every night.)
And finally, the final day. it was a bitter sad farewell, i didn't want the farewell as i know i'll be all alone for another 2 days before my robocon teammate to be back at the Uni

Welcome back

To my very very loyal fans, i know i have created this for a very very long time but didnt put the effort to write anything in here. its just that i didnt know what to write.
Now i'm lost of words. This week has been one of the best week of the year.is the 1st time i could be with my special someone. although this week she have her trial and also handling up a important. But still i'll still consider it as a very very good week.
Sweetheart, thanks. And sweetheart, happy anniversary, hope you didnt forget it :) I'll always love you.
Today, i am just beginning to start writing my blog again, but i m going back to my university today too. i know i need to go back, but a big part of me dont want to leave my home. i dont want to leave my sweetheart, my family and my freedom.
but still, i promise i'll always comeback. i'll comeback for my sweetheart.
oh and about where i'm going, i'll be going on a survey camp, its a camp to do surveying aka "liang ti/measure floor" and this require me to be under the hot hot sun for very long hour. then after that i'll be starting the second phase on the 15th. it's my robocon project, building my 3rd robot. but how long will it be? i am not sure at all, i want to come back but i also want to learn how to build the robot. i'll probably think how i'll do it abit later.
i guess its all i can type right now, its really not nice to squeeze it together to write it. sorry dear.
hope you enjoy reading my 1st post.
thanks for reading
