Another one of those 1 logbook entry months. Been crazily busy since term started. Hardly able to take a breather. Projects, mini projects, reports and more... Haven't even got time to start studying! 4weeks to exams. Man... the end is just so near yet so far.. So many things to do, so little time.
Just lost my thumbdrive last week. I'm so pissed with myself... Forgot to remove it while rushing out of the computer room cause a class was coming in for lesssons. When I went back, the thumbdrive is gone. I don't care about the thumb drive, I care about the stuff inside it. My FYP stuff and some confidential documents for my CCA. To think I was very careful about personal data and I have to "release" confidential stuff this way. Good Job man!! No more confidential documents on unencrypted drives from now on!
Finally I might be able to fly after weeks of not being able to fly due to a/c u/s or no instructor. Wonder when should I book my ground conversion papers. Before exams? Just after exams or a week or 2 after exams?? Maybe I can see some preview of the Airshow in the air on sunday. Hahhas... fat hope... WSSL is so far from WSSS....
Time is running out fast man. Next week, 2 days taken out for Airshow. 2 Weeks later another 2 days out for Chinese New Year. Then the week after Chinese New Year is exams already. Time is really short!

One load is off, back to reality today. SPinnovex has ended on saturday with quite a bang. Our project won a silver medal which was totally unexpected. Things didn't look good in the beginning. However, our pace picked up A LOT in the week leading up to SPinnovex. The sacrifices we've all made, the hard work we have put in all paid off finally. I was actually quite overwhelmed during the closing ceremony when our project title was flashed on screen as one of the silver award winners.
I would say one week before the exhibition our final product havn't even really taken shape! Up till the day of the move (exhibitors' would move projects into area on that day) we were still doing quite major touch ups to our project. But finally, it happened. Not without hiccups throughout the duration of the setting up and the exhibition itself. By HIS grace, we managed to pull through, finish the exhibition and won a silver.
Exhibition was quite boring. As we were not in the main area, not many people bothered to come and view our exhibits. 2 major source of morale boosters were lecturers and people from the industry. On friday night it was industry night when they invited people from relevant industries to come view the projects and have a reception. A few of them came early and bothered to come up to our area and view our "deemed as 2nd class" projects. Secondly, quite a few lecturers commented that our project should be in the main area not hidden away.
Oh well, now its back to reality after the one week of a mixture of fun and boredom. Back to the other module projects and studies. Its the final stretch before graduation. Now I think I would miss poly after I graduate. Minus the unhappy parts of cause.. Looking forward to hitting the pool again on tuesday after many weeks of absence from the pool. Till next time folks!

So, the practical phase of FYP is almost over. What is left is the exhibition starting tomorrow till saturday. Somehow, I feel that not everything is going very smoothly.
Do you understand how it feels when you are the group leader for your FYP and you know something won't work out. You gave your group members instructions to do it another way. They don't listen and in the end things turned out as what you expected. When you sacrifice the day that is YOUR day and members still want to complain.
Oh wells, for me I tend to just shut up and cover up. But at times when you are very tired already, you tend to just blow up. You just can't please everyone.
Anyway, my PPL conversion just hit another obstacle. The expiry of my application is today. Apparently its due to the membership application, aircraft regular maintenance (met a not "heavy" check during my conversion period) that contributed to the slow moving process. I just hope that with my re-application, I do not have to re-do the requirements that I've already completed.
