just like any other week, tuesdays were, is and will be super tiring for this sem. Well, normally are from 8am till 7pm.. But tomorrow, it's gona be extra extra long.. Because, i have a test for Control Systems--------------> Which I am so not prepared for...


Laplace and state space equations.... frequency domain and time domain... ~~~~ huhuhuhuhuhu... Very very not prepared... so little time left, and I'm sooooooooooooooooooooo sleepy all the time...


HELP~~~~

Analogue electronics (2) lab session

Tuesday lab slot (11am - 1pm) are super tiring. Both physically and mentally. Yeah yeah, i noe that it doesn't involve climbing or doing major lifing or sawing or anything like dat... It's just that, there's lotsa planning to do for this particular subjects (Analogue 2) lab...


First of course... there's the prelab to be done.. and supposedly submitted the same day the lab is conducted. Preferably, before the lab begins... However, lucky for us, for the past two labs, the prelab dateline was extended to the following day. Basically, for the prelab, we would have to do lots of calculation and simlation to create a model of a circuit which is functioning in accordance to achieving the objective of a project. Before actually sumulating the circuit with PSPICE, we have to first calculate the values of resistors and capacitors required... Not an easy task... for this part, i have to give credit to my lab partner logan for settling this part.



That's part one..Part two is constructing the circuit physically. now here's when most of the trouble begins... The usual being, inaccurate resultes being achieved... Totally frustrating and before an hour is up, one really feels like banging one's head aganinst the wall n be done with the torture of he whole process. :-P okie, i think i exaggerated, bt jus to make a point, it's tough... for the past two experiments, we had to go back to the lab during our free time to work things out... Thank goodness we managed to get acceptable results for our second experiment after spending God only knows how many hours in the analogue lab... **sweat...



The following is a picture of our circuit and the output waveform on the oscilloscope... yeah, i noe, not very pretty, bt most importantly, IT WORKS!!! . That's all that matters. :-P




A word of advice for those who are gona take Analogue 2... Enjoy analogue 1 while you can. BeWaRE & be PRePArEd for Analogue 2.

Have been postponing this post for quite a while due to unforseen circumstances.. such as, having to come back to UTP to prepare for MAS.... (which i'll be posting about when i find the time.). But for now, back to the subject.. Stef, my best fwen came back frm Aussie for a short break. Since i was too busy to go stayover at her place, for a change, she stayed at my place for 2 days instead. :-P


So, we did quite a number of things together. among them were shopping, snapping syiok sendiri pics, snapping pics of food and of course, chomping down lots and lots of food. We were like starving refugees eating and eating and eating.



The following are some of the pictures which we took. (Click on the thumbnails get a better view of the pictures)




Lunch at Chili's




And then came dinner time..



We decided to celebrate my mom's birthday in advance that night since I was gona be back in campus on her birthday.. So in other words, it was like Mom's birthday dinner in advance. Here's a snap of the restaurant's front door and the menu




the umbrella's at the side are only temporary decorations. :-P


Presenting... the menu
(top) Dad's Calamari plate. (bottom) Adrina's Lasagne.
(top) The creamy turkish ham pasta i shared with Stef. (bottom) Mom's grilled Norway salmon with Spinach


And here comes the best part of the dinner.
~~~DESSERT~~~
(top) tiramisu and cream.. (bottom) caramel pudding


As most of you know, i'm not a fan of chocolate, dessert and all the super sweet stuff.. Bt these two desserts were totally delicious... I'm goin hungry again jus recalling how yummy it tasted.


mom and dad... :-) love and miss you two.





stef and me.

miss you lots stef.
Glad we managed to meet up. Even though it was only for 2 days. :-P

Greetings to all. First and foremost, my apologies for not updating my blog for the past few weeks.. Due to all the crazy activities and hectic schedule before and after orientation week, i've been spending most of my free time catching up on my lost sleep.. :-P

Bt anyway, just a short post regarding the newest resident in my house... This sem, some of my housemates moved out to stay with their friends. Bt during the first week, quite a number of people moved in to fill up the empty rooms. Among them, one was the most special of them all... Presenting.... the newest resident in my house...







Well, to be exact, this new housemate of mine which only makes an appearance at night will take it's place of honour on my opposite neighbour's door mat. (considered in my doorway as well la since it's my direct opposite neighbour)... So there you have it. the additional resident in my house. :-P
