FYP woes begone!

Finally solved the FYP partner problem, and i'm pretty satisfied with the outcomes. Din expect one of my closer EID mates to be unpaired too. Tot he probably saw my post on the bulletin board, and approached me last morning. Since we had worked together b4, and we had similar goals n interests, on top of the fact that we are on pretty good terms, we came to an agreement pretty quickly. I reckon its a good ending for this chapter.

Actually I really have to thank Ryan for helping me dispel the cynicism i had against posting on the bulletin to look for fyp partners. Was really apprehensive towards it at first, but when i learnt that he had got plenty of hits once he posted, I knew I had to do it too if not I'll just be sinking deeper by the minute.

Also thanks to Derek & Ivy too, for trying to help me by introducing frens to me. At least I know there r still some true frens around willing to take the trouble to help when the need arises.

As for the company fyp i had earlier tried to get. Courtesy of the inflexible NTU staff, it fell thru before it even got started. Anyway, think my mentor and sup are pretty nice too in a sense that they were very willing to try to help me thru this hurdle. My mentor was shocked when she heard I faced this problem, and gave me plenty of advice, and even to the extent of granting me half day off to go back to school to talk to the profs. (too bad i'm attached to other dept now, so she can't do much until i go back to her dept)

Lucky to get out of this shit fast! Now its the fight to get the project I want...
