Money is never enough!
This is so true for NTU. In order to attract the top researchers and academic staff from all over the world, we need to pay them world-class renumeration. Thus, we not only need to increase the tuition fees every year, we also need to appeal to our dear Alumni and graduating students to donate money!
From the way the school treats us, I dun see why would any sane graduating student be willing to donate their hard-earned money to the school. I would rather give my money to my primary sch and sec sch. (no for JC, i hate my JC)
Why give the school money to buy luxurious chairs fit-for-the-emperor ($2200 a piece) for the staff and lecturers?

Finally submitted my FYP report
Came up with an analogy for fook san to describe FYP at the blk supper just now.
Doing FYP is just like having a super ultra serious CONSTIPATION for the entire year. It’s a huge load off after submitting the report. Feels freaking good !!!
Now time to start studying!

Disgrunted final year student...
Was forced to take a break of 2 weeks from FYP due to the CNY, and tons of FYP, Masters & PhD students waiting to use the 1001st milling machine in my lab.
I'm not sure if I'm mistaken or not but hey, NTU EEE school has got one of the largest student population in the campus, and there's only ONE freaking milling machine to cater to SO MANY people who need to fabricate their boards to save their lives?
Ok, for the record, there used to be 2 milling machines in my lab, but one of it was spoiled for 431 days (or maybe more than that) and I see no replacement for it at the end of the tunnel.
Is NTU really that poor to spend some money to buy just one replacement milling machine?
Recently, i have noticed that there are plenty of cute posters around the campus, trying to psycho people into believing that everyone should try to give (money) to their alma mater as alumini members.
The initial thought i had was:
How shameless can the school be? NTU had the money to blow on 300 Aeron Miller category chairs (worth roughly) $2200 each for the golden asses of the NBS staff, and now they are trying to milk the money from the alumini to fund excesses in the school? Well, everyone has their own definition of wat is excessive, and apparently i'm not on the same wavelength as the staff. Read the below url for more details.

But after today then i realized, they REALLY NEED to get more money, cos poor EEE labs dun have the money to buy 1 more milling machine to feed the battalions of deprived FYP, Msc & PhD students.
For the record, we need more money to build more canteens in school, repair the NTUSU van that decided to take a stroll in our nice Yunnan Garden, more air-conditioned halls (well, they can recoup from the rental fees for this) and so on.
Oh ya, the school really badly needs a fresh coat of paint, which is ongoing now. (at least this is worthwhile)
(I heard from my fren that MAE has a lot of milling machines... )
_______________________________________________
Anyway, back to my FYP.
Finally got to use the milling machine today after waiting for so long, and I spent the entire day in the lab to ensure that the milling machine works properly throughout the miling process, cos we only had 1 board, so must make sure its correct.
Stayed in the lab from 0930 to 1830 just for this, and to me and my partner's horror, the measurements of final output of the differs from the one that we had originally designed.
So conclusion: Gotta fight fire tomorrow morning. so sianz to have wasted an entire day like that. I even skipped 2 tutorials for this. Damned.

It is CNY… again
In the past, I had never really enjoyed having a crowd over at my home on Chinese New Year. Had always felt it was troublesome and noisy. But my mindset has changed a bit this year.
Went to Dilong’s place on the second day. It was really crowded with his relatives, and our guys (though we all cramped into Dilong’s room and they gambled their time away).
Spent the 3rd day afternoon at Mrs Yeo’s place again. But I brought along dear to let my 2nd mum give her stamp of approval. It was quite a crowd over there too. With the usual suspects who turned up every year, plus the few gals who were also quite attached to “mum” too. Adrian and me were the only ones who brought along their significant others, with Hua Qiang promising to do the same the next year.
Then as usual, YQ, JS, Bek and XL moved over to my place for “Fo Tiao Qiang”. It felt better to have some frens over at home to liven up the place. Otherwise to have an empty home full of untouched new year goodies really feels quite bad.
Be Thankful that you have to clear up the mess after a party, for it means that you still have friends celebrating with you…
Guess I’m really getting old….

Jolted into action
It’s the 4th week of school already. We are at tutorial 3 today yet I barely even done one tutorial. Wasn’t getting nervous about it earlier until today, when I sat with the ‘wrong crowd’ in the tutorial, then I realise almost everyone around me had done their homework. Damned. I had been too lazy and slacked off. If I dun start to catch up now, i probably never will. So its back to my usual routine of staying back in school to catch up on my work till late at night before I return to hall.
Dun put off what you can do today till tomorrow.
Well, what I wanna yell at myself is, dun put off what you should have done YESTERDAY till NEXT WEEK!!!
It’s a nice wake up call. Albeit a terrifying one.

Officially Retired from TITANS
Played my last ever Rugby match last sunday in midst of the never-ending rain.
Won 10-0 against Hall 10, then lost 15-0 to Hall 1 in the quarter-finals.
It was my first and last ever game against the defending champions whom had been keeping a clean sheet for the last few seasons. Their superior technique and teamwork had won them the game but it was our gamesmanship that has really won us the day. We almost broke their clean sheet when we went beyond their tryline, only to be denied by a last minute tackle which prevented our guy from touching down the ball. It was fun playing against the Hall 1, at least we gave them a run for their money.
As for the game against Hall 10, it was déjà vu for me again. I would always have a near miss in scoring every single year, only by a distance of 5 metres, and it was the same against this year. This was the 3rd time this season that I had beaten 3 men and only to be denied by the 4th opponent coming in.
Well, my final statistics for rugby as I retire: 13 caps, 0 goals.
This is the only regret I have for playing rugby.
