omg, 2years never write blog aredi?

Hmm, recently tried adding a friend on frienster, and as a result, got reminded of a blog i used to write. Out of curiousity, mainly to confirm if my blog has been deleted, i login to my blog. Surprise surprise, it is still standing strong, albeit a little dusty.


*blows 2years worth of dust off sLeePy bLoG*

Well, been a really long time since i posted, but life have really changed a lot (for the better i hope) over the past couple of years.

To make long story short, basically,

1. I survived the horrible year 3 of mass projects in NTU (imagine doing 7modules in one semester, with 4core modules being project based [taking up 40-60% of total assesment] as well as 1 lab]. Really glad i made it with minimal "damage", both physically and mentally.

2. Finished IA, both good and bad things happened, but all in all, a good experience and exposure to have. Learn alot about the finer things in life, as well as the softer skills which are about as important as the hard skill one has.

3. Clear final year of uni life with decent results. Surprisingly, my final year results are slighty better than my usual. Probably becuz most ppl are overly engross with their FYPs. Anyway, my fyp is pretty jialat too, basically, it is to design and fabricate an automated water chestnut peeler.
It basically involves everything related to its design, including mechanical, electronics, automation and some programming. And frankly speaking, i really dono how i managed to pull that one off. Haha, i must been really lucky :p

4. Convocation, graduation, end of uni life! :p.. luckily for me, i got what i aimed for in uni, so was pretty please with my overall grades. The only "black" mark is that my FYP fall short of my expectation. Did not expect to get merely a B+ =(. But overall, everything is still pretty good and worth celebrating.

5. Started looking for job, a bit stressed over bills and my financial "well being" after i sat down and did my sums. Read several books, including but not limited to, a series of Robert Kiyosaki (in case u dun know, he is the chap that wrote the rich dad poor dad series of books) books, online articles on financial planning, talks and such for financial planning as well. Subsequently, i came out with a short term and a mid term plan. It dawn upon me that i need a job asap....

6. Got a job, started working. As of now, i have work close to 2 months already. Life seems reasonably good, and seems worth to be optimistic about (despite the recent financial downturn). However, anything can go wrong and it is probably best to be at least partially ready for it.
