was still slacking around in the first part of the sem. abit of consistent fyp work here and there and that's abt all.
now the craze has finally started. tut assignment due on 30 apr. and i dunno a single thing on that topic. skipping lectures becoming more common. no more sense of guilt compared to the previous sems. but well i was forced to stay back in the lib to start on this tut. manz..my concepts are hanging on its end off the cliff. i took 3 hrs to complete 2 and half easy ones. the others seem relatively easy..it's just somehow something is lacking. i cant understand it. confused. :S
fyp finally stopped. but then i think might need to add on more. haven really fulfilled my own protocol. not everything gel yet. i wonder if i've the time. else should i just cao cao liao shi? were discussing with wb abt our attitudes towards things in life at this age now is merely doing the min. can jiao cai can le. no more motivation to do the best. anyway the most dreaded moment is typing the thesis. why does everyone say type only..very easy wat..i think i prefer to generate results and analyze them. lit review alone can kill me. for the results i just simply cut and paste. all thanks to consistent work. =) but the muscles that cross the elbow, moment arms, flexion/extension, supination/pronation, the brachioradialis having how many % longer optimal fibre length than the pronator teres but how many % less moment-generating capacity...and this is just 2 muscles and 2 properties that i'm comparing here.
haiz...tingyi was asking "ur fyp got anything ME related or not ah?"
exactly! at the end of the day. i dun really care if i know all these leh. the only mechanical engineering related is only the basic concept of moment = force x moment arm is applied. the application is wrong. it's not gg to help me much in the engineering industry. not even the skills i picked up being transferable to the ME industry. zan nen desu ne. shrugs..but my fyp save me lots of trouble compared to my frens who ahve to book and wait for the equipment. everything is just on the comp. and it's something more interesting, away from the engin lab and i've got a good sup.
design 3102..one more wk left. was rushing like mad. 4 hrs every wk. last wk was 6 hrs plus. milling, filing, hammering, drilling. surfacing, paper, tere-ing x, y and z axes. addition and subtraction, pressing buttons and rotating the handle. i feel like a ship captain. coolant and aluminium T6061 shavings flying everywhere. shower cap =( well a T6 aluminium is strong but still it is Al...too weak. the shafts deformed with the last 5mm of turning. i've finished my part at least. with all the rushing. and yes u need to plan. cos changing the set up takes up most of the time. disgusting.
well there's still fun working with lh, gen and albert. and the blur blur lab helpers who dunno the difference between the lubricating oil and the coolant. one actually pushed a trolley full of pails, ready to collect more coolant. the other full blast the coolant tap to show tat there's still coolant! unless raja the pro one explained. and albert just called out "eh brooother" to the one pushing the trolley. i just cant hold my laughter. and then english, mandarin and hokkien flew back and forth between albert and the uncle and i just learnt that "linahhia" is equivalent to tmd. it's just farnie to hear all these in the workshop where usually there's only machining vibratory sounds.
not to forget attending boring lectures with tt, linda, jh, qs, nic, jj, jimmy, joo, carol. thanks to impromptu decisions of gg to watch movies like apocalypto and THE FOUNTAIN. rushing off to cineleisure and vivo after class.
all the talk on job application and grad trip. dsta and moe, australia, china, japan etc. and with last night's supper when merv ordered "one egg and one kosong" and the person actually cupped his hand, saying "egg? you want just one egg?" silence...merv just stared blankly at him..damn cute..i just burst out luffing la..where got pple order just ONE egg? nono..egg prata, i say. faints.and later when the food comes he still play with us lo..putting others' orders of mee goreng with nicely made egg on it on our table. pointing to the egg "one egg" and one prata.
thanks to all events and peeps for putting my undergrad life with a beautiful full-stop. there's one more stage of meeting datelines and exam mugging. look forward to it bah...no more next time le.
