Y3S1 Semester Finals

Finally, I'm taking some time out to update my blog. Well, basically nothing much happened lately. Nothing much happened bcos there's no time to do any other things except for the grueling semester finals..

So, how's my finals? 3 done, 2 more to go.

The next paper? 25th Sept, saturday.. 1 more week to go and it's time for me to take a break!!

Stressful and sleepless month - August

My first post of the month, and it may well be the the last post. August has been a month packed with mid term tests and assignments. I'm glad that i'm stil alive and blogging about it.

Let's have a short review of the tests and assignments:

Control Engineering mid term test.
Unlike previous mid term tests which usually contribute 10 of the final 100 marks, this mid term was 2 hours long and carry 20/100 final marks.

Fluid Mechanics 2 mid term test
Ar... Not good, at least 50% of the test marks gone.

MED 2 Aftermarket Car Accessory Project final report and presentation
Our product: V-FEC or Vehicle Fire Extinguisher Casing, the live saving item. Haha. Unlike MED 1, less time and less effort was spent on this project but still very grateful and many thanks to all my groupmates for their effort.

MED 2 IEEE Project
Designing of rubbish harvester. 5/100 of final marks.

Fluid CFD Project
Using GAMBIT and FLUENT software to simulate the fluid flow in pipe, laminar flow and turbulent flow. A project where we spent 5 hours to vomit out 60 pages of report, once again kudos to my groupmates and many thanks to others who helped, especially Wang The PRO. Hahaha.

Econs assignments
Sap sap sui (my part). The assignment which we finish the earliest.

Matlab Test -> Matlab Assignment
It was a test which later converted to assignment. It was one of my happiest moments in this month!

MOM assignment
To be discussed on wednesday.

After all the tests and assignments, it's time to take a break and to prepare for the coming finals. God bless me and all the other MEs.

Finals!!!

Semester exam is here! Time to study......... Shall update in 2 weeks time.. God bless :)

UTAR Semester Event

Every semester, UTAR will organise some events. One of the events is Course Registration System Server DOWN.

Before every semester, we have to go online and register our subjects. When the registration time starts, every ME coursemates will log in to register. As a result, the server will go down. We have been experiencing this since N years..

Today 1pm is the start of registration, i was able to log in at 1pm but when i try to register my first subject, it took more than 10 minutes for the page to load.



For several times, the session expired and we had to log in again, this is what i got for most of the times:

It took me 2 hours to finish my registration. On top of that, i did not get what i wanted. Have a look at my time table:

1 hour class on friday. Do u expect me to drive all the way from Subang to attend an hour class? Aiks.. But i do agree on what CS said. CS said:"Very good! We can go eat lunch, watch movie and play pool after the class.." Well said!


Btw, do u know what is the next UTAR event?
Registration for Vehicle Parking Balloting.
Shall write about it when the time comes. For now, God bless and take care fellow UTARIANS. All the best in finals!

NO MORE!

Finally, the days of having tests, assignments and lab reports are all over.. Haha.. What a relieve!

NO MORE stress..

NO MORE sleepless nights..

NO MORE skipping gym..

NO MORE reading notes..

NO MORE copy & paste..

NO MORE editing..

NO! NO MORE!

NO MORE! At least for these 2 days.. After dat, have to prepare for final exam lo...

But, in the mean time, let's enjoy and as always, SHAKELINGAM!!!™

Bad Parking Spot!

Today, as usual, i parked my car beside the masjid at TBR.

Is not that i like 2 park my car there,

it's bcos thr is no where else 4 me 2 park.

After attending classes,

i walked towards my car

(5-10minutes walking distance, depends on speed).

I saw a few DBKL ppl cutting grass by the road.

My 1st thought:

"Better keep a distance,

cos small stones might fly and hit me!"

So i kept my distance.

I reached my car,

reached 4 my car keys,

and i saw THIS....................

The stone dint hit me but it hit my car!

Suprisingly, i'm ok with it!

Mayb my mood was not dat bad?

Haha.. I jus continue my journey home..

Dropped by at the workshop, asked bout the price,

RM70..

Hv 2 korek my wallet d...

Haih...

I'm back!

After 2 weeks of MIA in the internet world, I'm very proud to announce that

SHAKELINGAM!!!™ is BACK!

There are several reasons for me being MIA:

1st

Pc and connection problems..

In the past 2 weeks, my server hanged for about 3/4 times.. I called streamyx for quite a few times in just 2 weeks time.. The answer i got were all the same.. Hang here hang thr..

2nd

For the past 2 weeks, i had been busy planning for my church's youth camp.. It was on 5th - 8th July..

How was it?

Wonderful! I think it was a blast.. I believe everyone gave their 100% during the camp.. 100% in games, 100% in preaching, 100% in performing, 100% in playing, etc..

Sorry i don't have any pictures with me now but some pictures are available in our youth blogspot which is

3rd

Year 2 Sem 1 of my studies had just begun.. In this sem, there will be a total of 18 credit hours, which is the highest among all semesters.. I bet this sem would be a tough 1..

Was kinda disappointed with my previous results.. Although i din't fail any, but i din't score either..

Hopefully, i can get at least 3.0 for this sem.. I would not mind getting anything higher then that.. Haha.. Cheers ;)

Those were the top 3 reasons y i was MIA..

I will try 2 update as frequent as possible.. C u guys soon.. Lastly,

SHAKELINGAM!!!™

Results Are Out!

Results are out! Most of my ME coursemates already knew their results, but i'm still stuck at this page:

Haih.. Server down.. Can't check my results..

Never mind.. I'll just play RC to pass my time.. Hope i can log in to UTAR portal asap, if not i'm going 2 sleep!

Btw, congrats to all who get good results.. To those who got bad results, don't give up, try harder in the new sem..

Cheers :) All the best!

3 Weeks Break!

Finally, it's 3 weeks semester break.. I've been waiting 4 dis break 4 such a long time..

So wat i did in the past week?

Well, i went Malacca with UTAR SHAKELINGAM the day after the last paper..

We reached thr ard 4pm.. Went 2 eat the famous chicken rice ball, satay celup, ABC n so on..

Of cos, we did celebrate Irene's bday.. I hope she had a great time cos she keep on mention bout her bday since.. em.. since bout 2, 3 weeks ago? I 4got.. Haha.. Below are some pics..

Nex update: Trainin 4 New Balance 15km..

I Will Derive!

Ok! Lately i've been super bz n super stress bcos of final exam..

In fact, i jus had Math paper dis morning..

My target?

Jus 2 pass.. Yea.. Math used 2 b my strongest subject but at this stage of studies, and due to my own laziness, my math level dropped significantly..

Dis mornin's paper was kinda ok, i think i can pass, at least i tried my best..

As being said in my msn message:

"Do the best u can, leave the results to God."

Wat i can do is very limited, futhermore i always sleep in classes, dint do tutorial questions and only start studyin at the very last minute (3days 2 study math).. Aiks.. Kinda regret dat..

Wat i can do in those 3 days?

Very very limited.. Wat i did was 2 try my best n do watever i can.. Those can not b done, i'll jus pray n leave it 2 God.. Same goes 4 my results.. Cheers ;)

Now, i left 1 more paper - SOLID MECHANICS! I've about 40 hours 2 study 4 it (40hours include eat n sleep).. Haha.. I think i'll hv 2 end my post here n go study SOLID MECHANICS!

By the way, i found dis link from facebook.. It's kinda cool.. U should have a look!

Lastly, SHAKELINGAM!!!

Let me just list down a few:
Dynamics test
My bro's wedding ceremony
My bro's wedding dinner
Dynamics report
Solid Mechanics report
Solid Mechanics assignment
G-clamp

Ok, let me elaborate 1 by 1..

Dynamics test
Well, actually the test is not dat hard.. But, i dint manage 2 finish the tutorial questions.. As a result, i only know how 2 do half of it.. Aiks.. This test contributes 10 marks of the final marks, so 5marks gone.. But the good news is, i stil hv anothr 90 marks.. Haha.. Positive thinkin..

Bro's wedding ceremony
Praise the Lord for His presence thru out the ceremony.. I was supposed 2 b the worship leader 4 dis ceremony, due 2 last minute consideration and advice frm Hwa Shin, i found a replacement which is Teddy.. Really appreciate his help in replacing me as the worship leader, and of cos he led well.. So wat did i do? I presented a song wif Grace.. Haha.. Cant rmb when was the last time i presented a song, so was kinda nervous..

When it's our turn 2 sing:
1. We walked up the stage.
2. We stood thr 4 a while.
3. My turn 2 start the song.
4. I sang 2 words and I.......... *stunned* I lost my words, I 4got how 2 sing..
5. Thank God thr's projector which projects the lyrics.. I paused, looked at it den start the song over again..
6. Dis time it went tru smoothly and we finished the song gracefully.. Haha..

Lastly, wanna thank every1 4 helping us out in the ceremony, appreciate it very very much.. May God bless u all..

Bro's wedding dinner
Durin the dinner, my main job is to collect ang pows.. Haha.. Shakelingam.. Collecting ang pows is 1 of the most busy task durin weddin dinner..

1. I sit thr, say hi 2 welcome the guests.
2. Ask 4 their name.
3. Locate their table.
4. Collect ang pows.
5. Rearrange their sit if thr's any problem.
6. Count the money.

Take a metal, which is a C shape metal, make it smaller and smoother, den assembles the other part by screwing, drilling, grinding n so on.. It's not easy, 1st step alone took most of the ppl 5-8 hours.. Wat we did? Thanks 2 1 guy frm the workshop, we managed 2 save our time.. Haha..

Dynamics...

CS 1ed to blog bout dis but Benny has deleted most of the photos.. Due to CS' request, here i am helping out on the posting.. Haha..

Well, it's tuesday, 17th of february 2009.. Our 1st 2hours lecture was Dynamics.. Our lecturer started off with Sample Problem 3, 8am..

Just a few minutes later, Benny went fishing (sleeping)..

Of cos, the lecturer continued with Sample Problem 3..

30minutes later.. Benny was stil sleepin!!

The lecturer? Stil explaining Sample Problem 3..

1hour later.. Benny... Stil fishing.. I think he must have caught quite a number of fish..

The lecturer? Stil explaining Sample Problem 3..

Finally, 1 and a half hour later.. the lecturer finished his explaination on Sample Problem 3..

It took 1.5 hour 4 our lecturer 2 explain Sample Problem 3 (*shaking my head* i wonder it would take me how long 2 solve the question if it comes out in exam)..

Our lecturer:"Bad news 4 u guys is - this question is very hard. The good news is - this question wont come out in exam."

(*cheering and applausing from most of the students*)

By dat time Benny woke up!! He asked us wat happened.. After dat, sleep again.. Haha.. Geng!! I think he got my disease from last semester.. Last semester i was the sleeping king.. Dis sem, it's Benny's turn..

Benny, time 2 wake up lo!! Haha..

So, wat i learned from the lecturer?
1. Google Group - our lecturer, Ms Lam wil upload notes n tutorial so we can download directly from it..
2. Ms - Ms is for married or unmarried while Miss is for unmarried.. Dat's wat the lecturer said.. Well, i dono bout dat..
