Tuesday...

was too tired last nite....took a nap at 8pm after dinner...wanted to nap for onli a couple of hrs but ended up sleeping till morn....12hrs sleep....but still not enuff to make up for the fatigue accumulated over the week, especially the crazy weekend....

aniwaiz....a couple of pics as promised...lazy to compress more....

StarShip, StarControl and StarBox - names given by me, but i kana suaned....sounds nice, don't they?

btw....everything here was built from scratch....dat's y we are all feeling proud of ourselves for having achieved this feat....proud doesn't mean arrogant...we r proud of our own achievements.....

exams in juz 2 weeks time....i haven't studied in a long time...had been, and had to concentrate on the project....so i'm actually feeling a little lost now.....in addition, i'm reali feeling burnt-out, i tried studying juz now but things weren't going in....perhaps i'm still sleepy dat's y....

i'm going to give myself a break and watch scv at 12....channel 255...心花放, a show which i had been watching....

Tis is week 2 of the interviews for the noc programme....i noe i shouldn't be worrying cos we were told that the interviews might not begin at the same time for everyone....but i'm still a little stressed over it...

I remember that I chose BioValley over the supposedly more prestigious Silicon Valley even though i'm from EE and the logical choice is SV because i wanted to be special....at BV, i'll stand out more cos there are not going to be many electrical engineers there....

and i also believed that electrical engineers are highly sought after....cos they r supposed to be good problem solvers in many situations....and their logical and analytical thinking skills are also supposed to be highly coveted...in engineering, in business or in entrepreneurship....
these are also reasons why i opted to choose to study tis major right from the day i was asked to choose, prior to matriculation....

Looking at the big picture now, in the context of noc, i'm not so sure yet.....cos it is a fact that as i'm an EE student, i may be to a certain extent, be at a disadvantage....cos the companies are mainly bio-related firms....and of cos, the life sciences and bioengin ppl r going to be more useful than me....then, there are oso computing students who r better at webpage design and database management....oso, there are business students who are specialised in business related fields....
i've checked, and there are virtually no electrical engineering firm in BV....so where does dat leave me?

yah, EE students r probably analytical thinkers, good problem solvers, efficient workers and hav higher stress tolerance levels in general....but well, at least for me, I find that i'm juz dangling somewhere in between when it comes to specialised skills in the BV context.....
a firm which wants interns skilled in bio-related fields will probably look for bio-related students....
a firm in IT will look for computing students...
a firm seeking business interns will obviously look for business interns....

given that it is true that EE students r good in the abovementioned areas....I hav no chance to show my 'supposed' forte...which is mainly in the context of EE.....i said supposed cos i tink EE is not my strongest aspect....but how do they noe? they look at wat i study and they think circuits, communications, power, electronics, semiconductors...etc etc.....
yah...sounds sophisticated....but might not hav any practical applications in the context of BV....

well, one of my weaknesses I've alwaiz realised is dat I feel that I'm above average in many aspects...but i do not hav a particularly strong area that will stand out and be noticed immediately....
i can't help it....i'm not a special talent in sports, nor in music, or in mensa, or watever.....i'm juz good enuff to be above average.....probably i'm a jack in many trades, but master of none....

dat said, i've oredi done my utmost in these 2yrs in nus.....i've tried very very very very very hard oredi.....i can onli leave my fate in the hands of god and my destiny....

alright....i need some breathing space.....and i shall get it in the form of tv.....i need to relax....and forget the stressful things for at least a while....

i will heed my mum's advice, as alwaiz....and concentrate on exams first...and don think so much....
