Convofair Treasure Hunt 2007

Hmm, very long overdue post.. But like the saying goes, better late than never. On the 11th of August 2007, I joined the UTP Convofair treasure hunt with a bunch of friends. There were 8 of us who joined together in total (2 teams). The following picture is a picture of me with my teammates. (From left : Me, Wan Sin, Anthony, and Ee.)


Team number 25, at the starting point of treasure hunt :-P



The basic idea of this treasure hunt was to travel, have fun and find the 'treasure'. The treasure hunt wat divided into two parts. The first was to solve the puzzle like questions given in the handout package at the starting point. The second part was the activities part where everyone had to basically, get down, and get sweaty and dirty. :-P


For the first part of the treasure hunt, it was the task of stopping at certain places to obtain hidden info in order to solve the given riddles. Don't really remember the places coz i was sleeping in the car along with Wan Sin during the travelling part and only awoke when we had to get down the car and start hunting. (Being a koala as usual... sleeping all the time.)

In short, our adventure brought us to quite a number of places. Among there were, Teluk Batik, Taman Paya Bakau, and of course, the all time favourite Pangkor island.





Taman Paya Bakau where one of our activities were located.



Pangkor Island~~~~ again... Seems to be my favourite visiting spot since i came UTP.



The following are the pictures which we took during and after the treasure hunt when hanging at the various activity checkpoints. I belive the pictures can do a better job of showing the amount of fun me and my teammates had during the treasure hunt than me telling in a thousand words.


this was actually a candid shot.. don't we look cute?


or more like crazy monkeys hanging around a paya bakau... well, we were more well behaved after that as shown below.





Me and my team mates on the ferry ride to Pangkor Island





My cute team mates - watch out ppl, umbrella on deck. :-P


Semangat umbrella. Thanks to Wansin for sharing it with us




Smile every1



At the last checkpoint in Pangkor.... The highest point in the island... Tired faces.

Ee and Anthony. But wait, where did the coconut come from?

3 lengchais ... :-P


candid shot of the guys by me...But Anthony's missing....

The refugee detainees....

UTP Convofair treasure hunt 2007 was definately a memorable experiece for me.. Not only did i get to have fun while travelling, But I also got to know a bunch of rili cool. crazy, fun and funny bunch of people. To me, it's the greatest experience and memory of this whole event..

Glad to have known each and everyone of you guys !!! :-)

Tomorrow is another tuesday...


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.



the circuit


the input output wave shown on the oscillosope (finally,we managed to get the results.....)
