My blog is so outdated...
it gives out-of-date a new meaning.....

Don't blame me, my life is so uninteresting I have nothing to blog about~

Therefore, when something interesting happens, aka the engineering fair:-
Seniors from CE, some CE juniors and mostly ME juniors along with our lecturers.


So, let's start with my project :-The Automated Parking Lot Management System
As you can see, we have Keegan passionately explaining the schematics of our project to Praveen. Let's have a close-up of the project shall we?
Ugly ain't it? We made it, and designed it and built it :P.
It's to help motorist locate vacant parking lot by use of active signs (aka the grey display board) and sensors (the red lights).
Since there's a board at the entrance that shows you exactly where the empty parking lots in the parking lot area is, you don't have to waste time going round to find it. Ingenious ain't it? (It was my idea :P)

Next, we have the project that had the most strategic location at the fair:-

The CPU cooling system

Damn nice looking right? (That's cause you can't see the close ups :P) So, this design, was to install in 3 (or was it 4..=.=) fans to eliminate the dead zones found in the CPU unit etc, etc...(not my project so I don't know much bout it :P)

AND, to your left, you have the big, brown, ugly monstrosity:-
The Solar Updraft Tower
Notice the lil black square thingy next to the green button?
Well, those lazy ppl decided to program the system to read out explanations to visitors..=.=
Press 1, for Jun King's sexy voice, press 2 for more of Jun King's sexy voice, press 3, for Jun King's ultra sexy voice and if you press all the buttons at once,

Ari's sexy voice:

"FUCK YOU STOP PRESSING ALL THE BUTTONS!"
(jking jking)

So I've got no pics of the team members cause they all hulk behind the big, ugly project of theirs. (except one from Edward. I'll post more pics when I get them from Joanne)

Next, to your right, ANOTHER MONSTROSITY!

Hmm...the resident doctor and Joanne with their Laundry Rack Project:-
And a few models for the clothes :P
Then, to your other right, you see a waste of space....=.=...
Oppss...I meant the Zaven and the Blind Spot (True Sight) Project..
Waste of space right...?

Then, we have the CE's project..which is to only operate a popcorn machine...

And they lure visitors with..
free popcorn, though it's mostly us ME's that take it..

And, finally, the main event and most important thing in this whole post :P

The camwhoring sessions~
First two male camwhores I've ever known....=.=

Plus in one female camwhore..

You'll get more camwhoring pics, when I get the photos from Joanne...
fufuufu~

Uh owh..
Due to my very very big mouth, I got myself stuck in a predicament

...now i'm kinda "in charge" of designing and making the shirt for engineering.....

....great....

not that i'm complaining......

Jayhan did these, will upload charles later
Improved after a suggestion from Ernest
Then Jayhan said we should space it more..
Left's the front (collared) right's the back, personally, i prefer the second...:P

Engineering T-shirt
This is what I spent the better part of my afternoon doing.
In case you can't read the itsy bitsy teeny weeny words on top, they say:

If you don't understand Chinese, tilt your head to the right:
Kudos to anyone who can figure this picture out!
I await your answer in my cbox!



My second design

Front

Think you’re smart?

That's the front
Answer this if you can...
it's a combination of the Boltzmann transport equation for electrons and crystal structures...






















This is the back:

We’re smarter…

= 1/24 Σ(ng)_ine²rinG

hahaha...urrmm..right..i think i was too free :P..

My room
Okay, I know this is long overdued but being late is better than never right? =P

At least I didn't claim that I was too lazy to try =P

The first this you see when you open the door:
The ACTUAL closet (please note, there are two fake/spare closets lying round...)

My personal balcony =D (Door can't be opened though cause I don't have the key, so it's there for decoration and as an extra large window)

My study/trash table (aka the table where I throw everything)

Another closet. The door out on the right.

After the door is my bed.

So, how's class?
Seemings as that is quite the common question floating around, I should give you a breakdown of my classes.

Materials:
Apparently the toughest class around because the more than half of the senior batch failed their finals. My theory? I think it's the lecturer's fault. Why? Because this was my first class on a sunny Tuesday morning and I slept/dozed off. (Frankly nearly 1/4 of the class fell asleep so I'm not the only one that thinks he's boring)

Our lecturer:
Mr Tham. Teaches us IT classes and Materials and uses a microphone in LT3 and CL1.

Dr. Ting once said to our class after nearly tripping over the microphone lying around, "The LT3 is such a small Lecture Theatre, who would need a microphone anyways?"

Sam was whispering down the row to my left,

MR THAM! MR THAM!

I had to control my snort of laughter.

Design and Professional Skill:
Taught by Mushtak who, on the first day, said: The ground rules are, if you are to call me,

SIR
or
MR

I'll minus one mark from your finals!

By the second class, I unwittingly said, "Thank you, sir" and as I was about to walk out of the CNC Lab, he suddenly turned, pointed to me, and said:

MINUS ONE MARK!

whoops.

Design's cool 'cause we get to walk in and out of class for reasons of 'working on our project' and he doesn't mind. We have to submit in our project design memo by this coming monday. My group's working on a Parking Lot Sensor thingy. Later~ lar, very malas to blog about that.

IT Lab:
Again, we had Mr Tham for our lecturer. On the first day of class, I was a very very very VERY naughty girl. The first thing I did when I got to his class was to switch on the computer, and...

MSNED!

I then chatted and blogged and suddenly, Keegan says, let's play...

CHOR TAI TI!

So, Keegan, Jeffrey, Isaac and I played chor tai ti while Mr Tham lectured in front. =D

Statics:
Dr. Singram. An Indian graduate with pHD. Also comes free with a very very thick accent. Another class I slept/dozed. Not to say that he's boring. On the contrary, Statics is quite interesting. Sadly, as I was trying hard to concentrate, my mind get blanks.

Literally,

BLANKS

I mean, I was trying to pay attention and decipher his accent when my mind suddenly translated

fasfdhksfa

aka, my mind couldn't translate that part because his accent was too thick. So, I had to chuck away a couple of parts of his lectures because I couldn't translate it. But I got used to it, after a few lectures.

Fluid Flow:
Another Indian lecturer, Dr. Praveen with another thick accent. However, his accent was not as bad as Dr. Singram. That was, until, he said:

THE YALE, YAM AND YAN

Instantly, I looked up from my notes (Along with a few other students) and thought...

Where's the yam?

Apparently he meant,

The L, M and N.

Owh, wow...

Advance Mathematics:
Dr. Ting is another funny lecturer. He orignated from Sarawak (Sibu I think) and cracks jokes in his class all the time. Especially about his wife and woman in general.

I nudged Chee Ming, "You know, for a guy who talks about other wives alot, I think he's not satisfied with his."

Chee Ming, "Most likely.."

So there we go people, My classes in general.

P.S. I will post my room pictures next time. It's long overdued =.=
P.P.S. About the BBQ I promised, will post when I get the pics...

My Resolution
After being unexpectedly struck my my conscience, I decided to print out my resolution and paste in front of my study desk so as I am constantly reminded of it.

And I had the bloody shock of my life when i discovered that I broke roughly 9 out of 12 of my resolutions.

Currently, it's the third day of the start of my new term and I'm blogging while the teacher teacher is teaching in front. Resolution 3 anyone? (Did I mention I'm chatting in the process too?)


Well~ I'll go home and study. HARD.
....I hope...

Things to study today:
Fluid Flow and C Programming

Orientation
I had my orientation yesterday. Boy, what a crap way to start.
Apparently there was a miscommunication so I was told to go at 10 when it actually starts at 9

0805 - My alarm rang. I turned it off and went back to sleep
0825 - I finally draged my lazy butt outta bad. Went to bathe.
0840-ish - Finished bathing, saw clock and thought. 'Dear God, I have one hour plus left!'
0850 - Stare at the floor of my bedroom zoning out.
0902 - Keegan called and asked where I am.
Me: At home.
Keegan: Orientation starting
Me:*#@&#@#$%&! *Grabs the nearest pair of shoes and runs out of the house*

Luckily, I arrived with time to spare.

The orientation was great! Well, the second half anyways cause we ended up playing a game made by the students.

At first it was sorta lame and time wasting. Abuthen, the real test came.

Are you an engineer?
In short, they gave us an egg, chopsticks, straws and rubberbands and told us to make sure our egg survived a drop from the first floor.

My group:
Myat, Daniel, Farhan, Johnny and I (Keegan unofficially)

Lemme just tell ya.
If you employed us to design a build a building,
Be prepared for the building to




COLLAPSE!

Basically, our idea was a bit stupid/smart and weird

We encased the egg in two layers of balloon. Firstly was air (contributed by Keegan till he was red in the face) The second layer was water to absorb the shock.

The two balloons would be suspended inside a cubic frame made by chopsticks.
The idea was for the frame to take the main fall and the water to absorbed the leftover shock.

Impressive indeed isn't it?
Everyone thought so, judging by the way they crowded around our group.

EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE WHEN WE MADE A MESS OF WATER, EGG AND BALLOON =.=




I suppose it would work if it were a metal frame welded together and the egg wrapped in duct tape instead of rafia string.

A few to note..
First off, there's a little change in my blog and if anyone has a good power of observation (or sharp eyes) he/she will spot it. =D

And finally, I'm going to Subang tomorrow. Term starts on Monday. Keegan Francis Khoo, you better be my classmate!

I've finished packing (or so I have thought) and the total weight of my luggage is a shocking, tremendous, amount of....


20 kg.

Well, that ain't half bad considering my last luggage was 50 ++ kg when I came back to Kuching. Though I do have a sinking suspicion that when I return next year, the weight will miraculously double. =.=

On the note, I've seriously no idea why but I'm super blur today. Like run into walls kinda blur. Which is even possible (but I've yet to try it). I feel like sleeping and generally being a pig the whole day. Not a good sign when you're halfway packing since you tend to miss things in your blurness. Speaking of which, I just remembered I have to do something...toodles~
