Snow in London

This is a significant event. The first day of snowing. =)

Though tomorrow is my programming test, I still plan to take a break to write this down. It doesnt always happen, anyway. haha.

Christmas break is approaching. I am going to Bath, Birmingham and Manchester for a short vacation. Perhaps, it's time to take a short break, after the treacherous autumn.

So, back to study! Guys and gals, do continue to support my blog. =)

Of Last Week of the Term

When we were in primary, secondary or even pre-u, the last week of the term used to be the most relaxing week. We can even opt for not going to class. In university, it turns out to be the busiest and most tiring week ever. Crazy.

Yesterday, I decided to give myself time out, at least for a night. I randomly walked into the Holy Trinity Church, and listened to the performances by Imperial Gospel Choir. I am not a Chrsitian, nor an avid choir-singing lover. Just feel that I need to rest, at least a little.

What are awaiting me for the rest of the week:-

1. Programming test
2. Submission of Group Design Project Proposal
3. Lab Orals


All these are counted. =.=


Well, but I really have a good time joining UKEC. haha. That's the life I am looking for. Not the dull and competitive life in IC. It's good for the brain, not for the soul. (Ok-lah, good for the soul too, but maybe jz a little?) =p

深夜沉思

读回朋友的blog,

突然读回自己写的留言。。没想到对他的忠告,竟然现在也得对自己说一番。。

“每个人的资质都不一样。哪里不好,就补救。。。
我相信。。上天是不会亏待勤力的人。。

失败了,失望了,再爬起来。。总有一天,你也可以拥抱梦想。

共勉之”

深夜两点,在咖啡因的作祟下,竟然还在电脑前面。。寻找那久违的正面思想。。

Quote of the Day

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't 'bout how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!"

p/s:saw this somewhere on the net..and thought of sharing here on the blog..=)

Funny and Stupid

When a person is tired and stressed up, he will do funny things..

First, he thought of studying till the wee hours in the library...

Second, when there were only 2 stops to reach his destination, he overslept in the bus and missed 2 stops from the destination instead.

Third, he is on the blog at 2.13am, and dont feel like sleeping..

Just forget about this post, pretty much ranting some stupid useless boring stuff in life..

Yesteday was my first night in the uni library. It was cool and exciting as there were not many people around. I can practically print or photocopy anytime I like.

I have never thought that Uni life is meant to be such, or maybe I am just giving myself some extra unnecessary pressure. A non-assessed test is driving me crazy here! But back in Alvls, I couldnt be bothered to study for any class tests. I went out for mamak, with Naan Cheese and Kopi panas in the middle of the night. Plus, overlooking Genting from the peak of a mountain near a friend's house. Oh, those were the good old days..lol

Today, I went to Malaysian Hall and had lunch and dinner there. I met some old friends, like Jason and Yinhui. While at the same time, I met some new acquaintances like Vincent, Li Ching and WaiShan. Well, pray hard we all can get the Junior Executive position and we can hang out more often! haha...=))

Tuesday is my Christmas Test, and yet I am still not finished in revising all the subjects. =((..

Till then, people..

一句话

人,最重要的是,不是站在哪里,而是朝向哪里。


(^@^..thanks daddy for this quotation. I am not thinking in a negative way anymore. I come here for a reason. After a chat on skype, I understand one thing. Success is all about falling and failing until we found the correct way. )

曾经愤世嫉俗,曾经满口怨气,重读潘建成的故事,才发现他还未发明USB 晶片时,也整天在吃饭盒。到他成功那天,总共有约3千抑或是3万个橡胶筋 (rubber band).

突然想起当时有首歌是这样唱的,“没有人能随随便便成功。。”

Imagine. Creative. Innovative.

They are the keys to survive in Imperial (especially in EEE course).^^ Time really flies, and I am now in the Week 7 of my first term. Let's see what is awaiting for me, hmm...

Week 9- Christmas Test

Week 9- Driving Test 2#. (Programming test)

Plus, tonnes of Digital Logic problem sheets, Math tutorials, yet-to-be-understood Electronic Materials and Analysis of Circuits.

Troubles don't come in aplenty , they come one after another. And, the worst part is, they tend to accumulate.

And, to tell you readers something cool:

I heard that in 2nd year, there's one ang moh who has been learning programming since he was 10. And, guess what, he managed to detect the flaws in the firewall protection of the ICT department in EEE!!

So, he went to tell the personnels about this, and they confirmed it and rectified it immediately!

*This is like telling your driving instructor during your first driving session, about how to drift on the road..while he expects you to ask how to move the gearbox...O_O*

His 1st year final programming project was rated A++ as well!

So, that's Imperial. You will meet things and people beyond your imagination...

414

坐着那熟悉的414,看着一路上的建筑物和车辆,然后再看回巴士里的乘客,突然觉得,在巴士外面的,是没有顾虑的玩乐,而巴士里面的,都承载着每个乘客向往的目的地。

有时候,真的觉得很累。喘不过气的我,正被堆积如山的课业所嘲笑。面对着电脑,都会合上眼睛。剩余的声音,就只有隐约听见,一班学长在电脑室玩电脑游戏的键盘声。

但,每每一想到,当时是如何执著,如何竭尽所能来到这里,就知道,I come here for a reason.

真的,I come here for a reason.

每次想到这里,都会想起,《创世纪》里的一句话。 “万丈高楼从地起”。或许,别人已经在一楼,甚至是三楼;但是,若在起跑点就放弃,又如何成就心中的梦想?

听说,年底EEE有个presentation. 最佳的学生,会被给予Royal Academy of Engineering 的奖项。

想着想着,原来,巴士到了Sussex Garden. 按了按车铃,下了车,发觉心情沉淀了许多。

Short note

I wrote this during the long break after my Alvls finals. And, all the while I have never dreamed of getting the prize.

However, now it shows that when you really put an effort in doing something, unexpected results can happen.


I am so so so so damn happy~~~~=))))))))))))
