it's been 3 months?!! on fyp 1st

omg!it's been 3 months since the last time i blogged.

i just read all my frens' blogs, only managed to scan thru the most recent posts on one page...din read those way be4. should try reading so many blog entries by different pple at one go..so fun lo..the different encounters and emotions described and expressed in words..haha the contrast betw the entries are amusing. had a good time this morn indeed. i happened to find my past handwritten diary too. omg..i really cant rmb anything tat was written in it. tat was the time before i enter nus lo. i guess i was real free tat time to write diary.

half the mid sem break gone leh. despite having work to do, i still have time for animes. so it isnt so bad, compared to those sems before sep. maybe the no of examinable modules affect my timetable? and also no more tuition = no more income.=(

every1's bz on fyps. complaints abt profs are common. my prof just sent me a super long email. finally telling me wat is expected of me and the last sentence "dont worry. I am very sure u are capable of most" errr...i come to realise that the field is really not developed at all, super baby stage. how can a small fry like me do anything to help with the development of it? firstly the prog isnt user friendly at all. i know nuts abt programming and anatomy leh. and now he hope tat i can contribute in the development of a simulation program which can help surgeons be4 performing operations. the main research team is based in UK and the world congress is held annually in germany. now then i know wat is my fyp all about after half a sem. the previous students (from sg, hk and uk), were just doing expts to collate the results and i'm supp to collate all these students' results and build on the simulation program?! then how much improvement i made to the current program will be very significant lo. i think at the end i'll contribute nothing to it. and i'll score badly. sobsob. but i think be4 the gal tanny did alot of work la..she super zai..shld cont to be a researcher.

if only i know programming, i'll program an entire new simulator lar. the current one is really cmi. so anyhow. not accurate at all. i took like 2 hours to attach 2 stupid muscles to the dumb skeleton...then i've so many sets of results on the various tendons, some use real cadaver samples, some use dunno wat plastic bone with wires/ strings. and even if they use the same set of equipment, the results are also different. i checked and compared..i realise most of them anyhow do le lor. -_-" the positions not exact, never even consider the string got tension etc. i told my prof, he also stunned. i mean it's like errr....nobody realised tat all these are to be questioned?

i still have to explain the difference in the results in my thesis leh and make suggestions for future improvements. I THINK THE SURGEONS SHOULD JUST DO ALL THESE THEMSELVES, then it'll be the most accurate. but before the surgeons can do anything, a good simulator program is very impt.the current program is super duper subjective leh. sigh i am li bu cong xin. i keep asking my prof: but if...would it be....? then he also speechless. so everyone is just doing for the sake of doing huh? no wonder the prog take so long to develop..no wonder the bio era comes so late. can these researchers do something? the IT era comes real fast lo..can learn from them? time to overthrow the pure IT liao..time to incorporate IT into the biomed industry. i only know how to say...sighz just let me do some expts and hun4 guo qu lar. pple will think i do nothing for my fyp lo.
