Thursday...

2.45am, and i'm feeling pissed off.....
I was hoping that I could ride on the wave of yesterday's success and that I could sms Changsheng and the rest saying 'hey guys, ALL done!'....

Unfortunately, that wasn't the case.....and i don understand why.....i've been staring at the code for hrs....and changed it many times...and downloading it to the microcontroller umpteenth times as well....and tested and tested and tested....each time, the display on the multimeter gave me different 'surprises'.....sometimes right, sometimes wrong....WTF.....
I'm pretty sure that we're on the verge of debugging it completely....i hav a gut feeling that it is the problem with one of the IF loop....but i couldn't figure it out....i'm far too shagged out....i shall leave it to tmr when Changsheng comes over...after all, he's the sharper programmer...

I understand that effort doesn't alwaiz equate to results....Changsheng and I have spent countless number of hrs on building up the program, the microcontroller hardware, tested them, debugged them and repeated the same cycle over and over again.....it's not last min work....we're not working less hard than the year 3 EE students who are taking tis mod....alright, i concede that being the onli team of yr 2 students, we are indeed at some disadvantage, but we're oredi trying our best to close that knowledge gap.....so far, luck hasn't been on our side....i hope tmr both of us can finally debug it completely....I believe this is the last logic error that is left....

damn messy isn't it? dat's my room and study desk...books, files, notes, circuit boards,....it's such a disgrace....i need to clear the clutter....it's cluttering my brain....

we've coined a new name for the nxt fortnight....simple...Hell Fortnight....
This sem is busy, and the situation was exercabated yesterday when we were told that we'll be given onli 2wks for the major project for ee2007, Microprocessor Systems....
well, dat's great news huh.....darnz....even the TA told us that it's quite impossible as even they haven't tried that particular program before...and we r the first batch taking this module to hav a 2wks deadline (prev batches had 4).....
I felt a little down naturally, with so much work waiting for me.....felt better after some encouragement by an old fren....thks again..... =)

yah, Zhiwei's right....i chose this path myself....same for Changsheng....we chose to take tis path tog....I have absolutely no qualms about it....i noe i'm complaining, but dat doesn't mean dat i'm regretting my choice or that i'm afraid....I'm onli complaining to release the pent up frustrations....
I guess Changsheng has been managing his time better than me....my discipline has been getting from bad to worse...but anyhow, 2006 didn't begin too well for me.....now is the time to turn things arnd....On the other hand, Changsheng is doing well in his 6th mod, he got second highest in the module for the test....hahaz, i felt happy for him when he told me abt it.....i hope he'll get A+ for it.....he deserves it for sure....

Ktv plans hav been shelved....who has the mood to go sing now that we haven't completed the debugging and more work have been piled up? I don even noe wat or where i will be on this Sat....if tmr doesn't work out well, sat will be spent at home all dae with Changsheng...debugging....how exciting does dat sound huh....
2 guys on a pc, with pieces of green colour circuit boards, white colour breadboards, rainbow colour wires, crocodile clips, resistors, chips, capacitors etc....yikes....sounds like a horror movie more than a project meeting...

okie lah....i better sleep oredi.....whole dae complain complain....nag and nag....no wonder ppl alwaiz say i'm very naggy....hope can sleep at least 7hrs....den i'll be back to my sane self again....

Recuperation time.....nitez....

The tougher the obstacles, the more glory in overcoming them....
