Nice day...
I thought I wouldn't blog again. And decided to make the blog personal so that I can write all my random thoughts in it...but then I thought again...not many ppl read my blog anyway so I still can write random thoughts... :D
Anyway, today's a happy day. Woke up at 5.30am to continue doing my EE2007 project...it's about a falling letter game...I settled the scoring in the morning...somehow able to think better in the morning rather than at night. :p And lab session the whole morning was pretty fruitful as well since I solved my problem, and Ho Yuet solved hers to be combined together with mine. Yay...certain parts was just copying and pasting (which I did in the PC cluster...didn't even test it out). It's nearing the end, maybe that's y it feels better although sad to say we wouldn't have much time to add in extra features...but it's onl 3% la....don't care so much d la...I still have a big percentage of finals to care for... :p
I would have stayed in lab the whole day if not for the Microsoft Imagine Cup briefing at Microsoft (Marina Boulevard) in the evening. Went in a cab with Ho Yuet and Bing Han (YC's bf) and his partner, Eric. Quite a coincindence that the only other NUS team that got into Round 2 is someone I know haha. :p The experience I gained today was eye-opening. Firstly, the building security is great....and the lifts are beautiful, complete with television in it. Even the pantry was nice...with drinks nicely arranged in the fridge. I think we could help ourselves to it but neither of us took cos paiseh... :p
The briefing started with a video about last year's finals. A Singapore team won the embedded systems category last year. Hmm this year the finals is in Egypt but dunno if we can accomplish anything with the Ebox distributed to us. Getting into Round 2 and getting the toy, Ebox is already an achievement for me and Ho Yuet, seeing that we only drafted the proposal a day before the deadline haha. But, I really thank Aswin for encouraging me to join. He was the one who told me that his senior also sent in a proposal last minute and eventually got to the finals and won back at home. :p My dreams are not so high la...but we can't achieve something without even trying rite?
After the briefing, the guy Neng Giin (some sort spelled that way and he's an NUS graduate and has a tendency to try to help us more) showed us to the Microsoft Surface. I didn't hear about it until today. It's an 80kg table-like touchscreen computer...had the rare chance of playing with it. It's the only one in Singapore and it's only gonna be there for one week. The coolest thing I liked about it was that it had a jigsaw puzzle game....and instead of a picture, it had a video....meaning something like a video jigsaw puzzle. So cool rite? Haha...we took some pictures but knowing the speed that Miss Ho Yuet uploads the pictures...I dun think we can view it anytime soon haha...
Well...back to projects...till nxt time. Jia you everyone... =)
