Yo!!! Today, I skipped class as I need to go for an interview in the afternoon. Yesterday, when I was at home and my mother kept telling me that what jobs do I was interested in. it is because I always tell her that I am not suitable for that job or I am not interested in that job and she was so fed up. And she also told me that the only choice was to wait for my cousin to find a job for me. After listening to her words, I felt that I was so useless that why I always made my parents so worried and some of my friends have already found jobs. So I flipped through the newspaper and accidentally found one suitable job which is the store assistant. And so I emailed my resume to the company. After a while, they called me and asked me to go interview the next day in the afternoon. So today, in the morning I went to look for the location first as I did not know where it was. So at afternoon, I went to the company for interview. But this time, I was different as I have learnt from the first experience and I somehow knew how to answer the questions that were asked. As I was scared and nervous and this was only my second time interview, when I was going up, my heart was racing. I mustered up my courage and went to the receptionist and I was brought to a room. Then one lady came in, she gave me her name card and the first thing she asked me that what jobs I was actually looking for. At that time, I realized that she was something like an agent who helped people to find jobs. So I told her what jobs I was looking for but she said that she only had some store assistant job. So I told her that I was interested and she said she would contact the company to arrange an interview for me. Haix…don’t know whether the company will call me… |

Today, I went to Chinatown with my parents. I have not been going out with my father for almost 1 month le. I feel happy and excited going out with my parents as I like to spend time with them and at the same time, I can go shopping. We went to Outram Park to buy decorations for the coming Chinese New Year and there are many decorations placed in the stalls. As this year is the mouse year, there are many mouse decorations like the Mickey Mouse. They are so cute…I feel like buying back to put it on my room. At the Outram Park there, there are already got decorations putting up between the road and I feel that they are normal unlike in the past, the decorations were so nice.  Then we went to eat the porridge at the stall. This is the first time I went there to eat the porridge and it was marvelous. Long time…never eat such a delectable porridge…the last time…I ate such porridge…was the porridge from Brunei when I was about 6 or 7. Since then, I have never eaten such porridge. Next time, if you guys want to eat porridge, remember to go to Outram Park there. We waited quite a long time as there were many people queuing up to buy. My mother said that everyday, the stall operates from the morning to the evening and it is famous for porridge. Think that they must be making quite a lot of money…haha…I wish I can be like them…making money. Then we went to the Chinatown. I have not been there for quite a long time…at least 6 to 7 years. Every time I go to the Chinatown, I usually go to one side of the Chinatown and the other sides, I seldom go. At there, the place was quite crowded and there were many stalls putting up the Chinese New Year decorations at their stalls. And I could hear New Year songs everywhere as if the people are celebrating CNY now. We also saw one American man selling CNY stuffs in which we have seen him before in tv. He was happy and excited, wearing the qi pao, singing and dancing while selling the stuff. We also took some photos there and soon my parents finished buying the decorations and we went home.     That’s all. |

YEAH!!! FYP presentation is finally over. Now I can relax le and can do anything I want. Today is my FYP presentation day and I was a little bit nervous and excited. I hope that the FYP presentation will faster present finished over as I can’t wait for it to end faster and then I have no worry. Yesterday, I met with my FYP members to discuss about what to put in the presentation slides. We also divided the slides among each member and discussed about the questions that would be probably asked by the two evaluators. We hoped that the two evaluators will not ask so many questions and too strict to us as our project and coding are not quite good. When I went home, I read through the PowerPoint slide and memorized the points that I want to say during the presentation and elaborate them. I also watched some Japanese anime as there was nothing for me to do le. So today, when I went to the school, I wore the working uniform and went to look for my team members for some discussion. I saw many students were wearing the working uniform and were preparing for the FYP presentation. I was not nervous at that time but as time was getting nearer and nearer, I started to become nervous. We were told to wait in the waiting room while other team is presenting. When it was our turn, we went to the given classroom for presentation. I saw two familiar faces as one of the evaluators has taught me before and the other, I got saw her before. And so we started greeting the evaluators and introducing ourselves. Whenever the evaluators asked us questions, we would answer them. If we did not any answer, we would smoke through. When it came to my turn, I was already so nervous and I spoke even more unclearly such that you can even hear my voice shaking. At one time, as I need to present 9 slides at one time, I need to breathe in so much air and I stopped a while. My members thought that I have breathing difficulties and asked me whether if I was fine. I found that it was too funny and I told them I was fine. And we continued to present for about 30 minutes. Soon we finished presenting the PowerPoint slide and we were told to show demo for our program. As we did not want the evaluators to ask us so many questions, we entered one field by one field as to delay the time. Then they asked us about the coding part in which it was our nightmare as we did not know the code very well. Then they asked me to about one question and wanted me to show how I could do it. Luckily, I knew that part very well and I showed them. Soon the whole presentation was finished and we were relieved that we did our best and were able to answer most of the questions. After that, we went to the Woodlands shopping centre to celebrate. We found that we were really lucky as the two evaluators did not ask difficult questions for us. And we think that we got a chance to pass for FYP. We also discussed what we wanted to do after FYP and graduation. Then they went home and I went to shop by myself. Now my worry is finding a job. Hope that I will be able to find a job as soon as I graduated. |

Haha…continued from FYP part 1. And so this Monday was the day that RP has opened and I am back to the school life. I felt like I am not enjoying much for the three weeks holiday and felt that time flies. Still the same when I was going back to school, I still remained quiet during the class and worried about the FYP that I found it hard to concentrate in the class. During the lunchtime, I still ate with the wushu makan gang. I feel that I was not closer to them anymore because I have not been to see how my friends trained wushu during the training time and have not been in touch with them. I felt that I was just an outsider in the makan gang. Too bad…I will continue to eat with them in future because I have nobody to eat with me…haha. After school, I went to library to meet my team to do our FYP for the whole week. It was tiring for me as I need to wake up so early and went to sleep so late like 1 or 2pm. I hardly had enough sleep and everyday, I hope that we will be able to finish our project and pass our FYP. I found one thing so angry is that the facilitator that has helped us in a little bit of coding. It was because after last Saturday, we approached him, and then when we approached him again because we really did not know anything about coding. He just told us to read on our own and do ourselves. So sad…he knew about Django yet he won’t teach us. And then on Tuesday, when I walked to the school, the facilitator asked me on our progress and I told him we are stuck on the login problem. Then he said that if we need help, we could look for him after school and he could solve for us. At that moment, I felt that the heaven was helping me and I told the news to my team members. And so we went to look for him for help but he only saw our code and said that he could not solve the problem and asked us to wait for him as he had his own team to meet first. And so we waited for him until 7 something, he still had not come and we decided to leave the school. I was somehow a little bit disappointed with him that he had agreed to help us with our coding, but in the end, he did not come. And so we decided to depend on ourselves. We tried every coding method to do our project. And we asked many friends to help us and we sincerely thank them although they could not help us a lot because we are not fully use the Django and Python programming language. And finally after so many obstacles, we have finished our coding in just less than two weeks although our project outcome was simple. But we are happy that we have finished our project and the report. And so today, we went back to school to finalize our coding and the report. We will be submitting our coding and the report by tomorrow which is the deadline. Now we need to do our ppt presentation because we will be presenting in the coming Wednesday. I heard that one of our FYP evaluators will be asking about our coding and i am scared about it. hope that she will not ask too difficult about coding. Now I can finally relax le and can continue to watch Japanese anime. Also, recently my charger which I bought recently spoiled again and I guess that I need to buy a new one again. Well, let’s hope that my FYP presentation will be successful and good luck to all my SIT friends who will be presenting. |

Yes!!! I have been so busy with my FYP last week and this week. Hardly have any time to sleep and have been so stressed and sometimes I would ask myself why I am so useless…why other people can do…why I can’t...and all I think to get help from others. But we finally finish our project on time though our project is not good as other teams who have fully used the Django and Python programming language to do the project. We have started our coding on last Friday and we have never imagined that we could finish our project in just one week and a few days. Last Wednesday, Daniel went to my house in the evening as he happened to be around in my house area. Then he stayed for a while and chat with me. After that, we went to Queensway shopping center, Anchor Point and IKEA to walk around. I have not been to Anchor for long time le since it was in renovation last time. When I stepped into Anchor Point, the environment and atmosphere is so different. It is just like the normal shopping center like Tiong Bahru Plaza and has many different shops unlike the shopping center in the past. As we have not had any much progress in our FYP and only left less than two weeks to submission deadline, we decided to ask around whether if there was someone who could teach us. And so last Friday, one of my team members decided to ask a facilitator for help who knows Django and see whether he could help us or not. Then he helped us a little bit only about the URLs and inserting data…and he said that we need to do our own as this was a project for you to learn. OMG!!! At that time, I had a thought that if we know how to do, we would not even bother to ask him for help. Also on last Friday, I heard that MC King has passed away. I heard that he had breathing difficulty at home and when he was sent to hospital, he already was dead. When I heard about this news, I was so shocked that how could a nice man like him pass away at a young age of 40. I remember that when I was getting my laptop back last month, I saw him accompany his mother going shopping. He looked ok to me. That is I why I always tell myself to try my best in doing anything and if there is anything to do, better do first rather than having regret because you will never know what is going to happen in the next moment. And so we decided to finish on the URLs problem first. When I went home, I immediately went to finish doing on all the URLs part and have images appeared on our page first and then the data inserting. By the time I finished solving the URLs part, it was already about 1pm. Last Saturday, we agreed to meet in school as we need to rush our project. This is the first time I went to school on weekend. There are hardly any people in school and perhaps only 3 of us would go to school to do FYP and some foreign students who live at the school hostels. We tried to finish solving the inserting data into database and there is URL problem when we are trying to insert the data and link to the different pages that we do not want it to go. And so we kept thinking on how to solve but still cannot think of any solution. And we met for a while and then we went home. When I went home, I watched the recording for the past few days. After that, I turned on my laptop and played around with the code and finally I solved it though I am sure that it was not correct but as long as it works, then can le. Finally I have the feeling of excitement getting achievement and feel that good luck has come to me. And so in the evening, I started trying to solve the login part but I kept cannot do it. On last Sunday, we also met in school doing our FYP but the library was not opened so we had to look around for plug to charge our laptop. We discussed and each of us was trying to solve the login part but we still could not solve. My team members decided to do the admin part first and then we went home. Then at home, I also was trying to play around with the code but could not. I felt that I do not have life other than doing project and it has really killed my brain cells. I also have hardly any time to watch tv, spend time with my family and playing with my two little nephew. |

A happy new year to all of you!!! still staying at home watching the ocountdown show every time when celebrating the new year coming. guess many people will either go out to Marina Bay...or somewhere else...with friends...family... to celebrate the new year. it will be fun and exciting that you will be able to experience the feeling of joy when you are at the live show and many people will be with you to countdown. especially when the countdown counts to 0, you will be excited and have the urge to cry as the new year has finally arrived. Personally, i do not like to go all those place to countdown as it will be crowded and sometimes, people will accidentally push you down or if unlucky enough, your belongings may be stolen by others and it will be harder to track the person. i rather lying in bed watching tv at home comfortably than having to stand there in the crowd, it will be very tired and hot. New Year Resolutions for 2008:
ok, that's all... Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you!!! |
