this morning seems unexpectedly good.

i received my first interview call....

great.

=)

coincidentally that i received the call while i was on my 'throne'

its one of my top choices... though if i walk along this path, it means no turning back towards the technical path of an engineer...

mmm.. 3rd day.

feel very much exasperated ... i can't really breathe and i have to cough in order to get enough air.

i managed to complete my solidworks last nite....

my only complaint now was that my miter gears from the catalogue i was using

doesn't have any keyway information for me to draw them into the gear shaft....

waiting to be shot. i hope JJ is a nice guy and can take charge and stop throwing the design back to me. hah.

fyp report, fluids quiz and lots of other shitniz awaits me...

managed to reap some unexpected gains this morning during my breakfast net surf...

luv this film.

made me tear a lil the last time i watched

and oh ya.. and this too..

....

i hope my friend.. my ex-colleague and da jie won't do this on her wedding..

thank god she's singaporean.

tuna's meant to be eaten at the sushi bar, or during exams...

not cut like a wedding cake.

sick

my body finally breaks down.

woke up today feeling worse than yesterday..

sick

sore throat and cough, blocked nose, headache and impending fever to come...

no more late nites for me. even if i need them.

one motor bracket to draw and lots of minor components here and there as well..

it gets totally tedious when you need to source for existing mechanical components from suppliers and incorporate them into your design...

elsewhere,

i have to start my report and revisions soon le. and i think my running shoes misses me.

mmm.. iso love this new white coffee i'm drinking

must be the sugar..

i better keep it to max 2 cuppa a day.

totally random

mmm.. jus posting this link so i can come back and listen to this song..

to keep me awake thru the night sometimes...

i will turn on the magic telly on my lappie and watch the old movies...

happen to hear this song featured in at least 3 of them

mmm.. one more week for my solidworks thingamob...

random fats

i'm lucky i've been kept busy with my ccas and studies.

if i were much more free and decided to embark on a self exploratory hobby i would most definitely choose cooking ... much like my dad just that i would focus on the western cuisines instead..

and i most probably turn out fatter than now....

just look at this blog... http://bossacafez.blogspot.com/

omg. i love the food photography.. really clean.

[there's also some food reviews and recipes.. etc... ]

anyway..

its all the fyp's fault... no matter what.

// no matter what ... for making me so busy i have to skip 432950lessons, skip my sleep, skip my training, skip outings... and its definitely my fyp's fault for making me lose sleep tonight again.

anyway, a Happy Chinese New Year to all...

even if it isn't that happy cos of whatever that happened... try2be. there's always someone for you.

auntie, kopi ge lar ji puay!

had quite a lengthy chat over a cuppa and dinner,

listening to the talk, i kinda think that others are doing what we used to do like some past year papers, but we aren't doing any of those tried and test methods... i wonder if some of the kids feel we have some sort of thru-train program of sorts.

comme ci comme ca... whatever lil helps..

too bad i'm not superman or spiderman, not even a superhero to be looked up upon.

i'm just the person making iron man's legs and not iron man himself.

one or 2 m.ore tim.E

i just need to correct (no.. that means redrawing certain parts entirely actually... another few more sleepless nights before the meetings) my drawings one or 2 more times for JJ, my manufacturer. Just went through the design for the orthosis today. sadly we couldn't have the full team present as my professor had a seminar on today so we dunno what's his input on certain issues such as the aesthetics of the design, if we should just spend a lil bit more to make it look nicer or just make it functional. i just hope his verdict wouldnt be a headache and heartache for me, i refuse to spend any further time on the drawing and i just want to start writing my report or move on to other areas such as the control devices which i'm more interested in.

mmm..

i bummed into this webby yesterday after some blog 'wolving' or so what the guys call my activity with blogs

http://www.colormekatie.blogspot.com/

and i also chance about this other graphic artist's blog some time back while researching.. as to how is it related to my fyp. i jus got no idea. it just popped up on my search lists

http://albinoraven7.blogspot.com/

take a break and have a muse. these people live in a colourful world that i wish i can retreat to.

mmm.. sidenote. for my gf.. who i now affectionately call master tie tou .. haha here's a song for you..

how much is it enough?

My gf told me today that sometimes she wonder if it is normal for me to spend so much time in fyp... and am i penalising my other modules..

to me.. i wonder if its normal for my fyp to tax me like this.

its something interesting to do, but there's too much to do and just one of me.
i have my modules to study too.
i would also like to go for training too..

I just came back from another meeting this morning, which i slept at 3am after finishing my slides and woke up again at 545am to head down to tan tock seng hospital from school. Reached there at 7 plus, decided to head to TTSH itself and have breakfast, chill at starbucks and people watch. Today was a followup for last week's meeting with the physicians and there's one more meeting this coming thurs. For that, there's also alot of 'follow-up' work to do.

things that surround me these days..

my 2 earlier meetings went okay, though the earlier was quite a disappointing as the manufacturer wasn't able to turn up... his advice would be invaluable and we could have used them to amend our work one whole shot instead of doing bits every meeting, delaying the projected date for the meeting. the later hospital one where me and my team presented to the physicians attending to our project about the operation of the device. It was good as there wasn't much complaints though they don't approved a part of my device. oh well.. wasted my effort. My prof also addressed an email to our team saying that he was impressed with the presentation. well.. that something good i guess.

there was so much to do... despite my efforts on my free time without class and the trainings i skipped, i pulled all nighters on the nights before both meetings just to avoid being whapped by professor. That icky feeling of having just 15 minutes before your presentation and you still can't finish your work sort of situation can really make a person feel crazy and lonely suddenly..and definitely very very desperate.

anyway, i think i am going to conk out soon.
i better take a nap soon before my body shuts down and before my fluids lect later.
