Le' Premiere - Part 2
I shan't dabble on the stresses of school work right now.. coz if i did.. then this post would go on forever.. lol~ But one thing which was absolutely, fantastically-crazy was the FDD lab that I had last monday.. We had to design a "counter" using the concepts of Sequential Circuits etc.. The schematics and all were fine.... till it came to the part of "implementation to the prototyping board"...
..Lets just say... it seemed almost humanly impossible. lol~ >.<"
I took the liberty of taking a quick pic of the end result (which did not work properly btw.. despite the tireless efforts of Tuan and mE..)
Let me show u what i mean...
. Not close-up enough for you? .
. Just the wiring alone can drive u crazy.. And they call this technology.. lol .
Incredulous.
On a lighter note, I received a letter from my uni yesterday.. At first, i thought it was just another notice to participate in events or something... But after opening it.. I realised.. i was MORE than that~ o.O
Apparently.. I am in the Top 15% of my university.. based on my results from last year~ O.O
This was something I absolutely did NOT see coming... nor had I even thought of it~
My first reaction? - "You gotta be joking... Is this fer' real?.." LoL~
As such, they had also enclosed a brochure on the "Golden Key International Honour Society".. together with a membership application form~ ..Double O.O"
I read the brochure.. letters and checked the website.. and apparently this "Golden Key" is an internationally recognised academic honour society (for US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates) that recognises students who are within the Top 15% of their colleges or universities and invites them to join this society.
To be honest, I've never ever heard of this society before.. but it seems to be genuine and pretty well-established~ And as they had mentioned as well (which i agree with..), it would look gD in your CV in future~ Membership costs AUS$93.50 , but its only a one-off payment~
I spoke and discussed with my mum.. and she agrees that it's well worth the money.. coz apart from being "recognised" (so to speak..).. there are many more benefits which they provide such as having scholarships and awards etc..
Honestly, I was quite taken aback by this notification.. but at the same time.. I was happy and excited.. especially so because I could make my mum and dad proud of mE. And this was something which I did not think would ever happen to mE~ =)
First time I have been, so-called, "recognised" for my academic achievements~ =D
It seemed I only started to really wanna study properly when I entered uni... I guess I had tasted the bitterness of "failing to do well" in my JC... which prevented mE from getting into our local uni-s... which might not be a bad thing after all... seeing as how I managed to finally gather the discipline and motivation to wanna do well and study hard~
Oh yes. For those who haven't watched Spiderman 3.. I have just one thing to say b4 u do - To mE.. i felt it was quite a disappointment.. i was actually kinda bored throughout the first 1.5hrs of the 2.5hrs of the movie... =\ I just felt that it was kinda slow, draggy and abit "mundane" during the first parts of the show.. the only exciting part was probably the end fight... (i shan't disclose toO much for fear of being a "spoiler".. lol~).
My rating? - 3 out of 5 stars.
I'm soO looking forward to the Transformers movie~ jeEz.. the trailer was really coOL~ Can't wait to see how the end product loOks like~ =D
Oh and not to mention Pirates and Fantastic 4 toO (only becoz the Silver Surfer is in it!... okok... and maybe Alba? haha =P )
