Yup.. They graduated! As Bachelor! And their convocation is at Singapore.. How can we miss the graduation of classmates? Hahaha.. thus, on Saturday, Fighterz crew: Fendy, Tomy, Adi, Handarmin, Jess, Inche, Ratna, Nani, and not forgetting I myself.. went (squatted) to the PMCI convocation at Meritus Mandarin Hotel. We reached there almost 5. It was a bit unbelievable to see so many people from one city gathered around in a different country. Hahaha.. There were almost 300 people there! Most of their face looked so so familiar.. as they were from the same school with me during high school. A lot of Science2 students were there.. but Agung didn’t even show up. Humph. Hahaha.. Nancy were there also to congratulate her friend.. and so were Winson.. After taking picture for a while, we (squatted again) to bus, following them to Colombus Court… Having outdoor pictures there. All look so happy.. wearing the graduation gown with the square graduation hat.. uuuh.. I just can’t resist to try it on :P.. hahaha.. Thanks Herlina and Endy lo for making it came true :P..
As the sky getting dark, all the graduates went back to Hotel. Endy Lo herself didn’t go back.. We continue with BBQ at Marina Bay :P.. we reached there at 7.30.. ate and talked until almost 10 before we satisfied and decided to go back. Hahaha.. Thanks tomy to declare me as the winner.. defeating Fendy… let me take it as compliment :P
We reached hall at 11.30.. almost midnight. I transferred photos (as usual), chatted for a while, sent sms to publish my new number.. and went back to sleep.. Still don’t hv the guts to face this recess.. >.<
Anyway.. I wake up at 10 today.. chatted with mum, dad, and sis.. then started the CSC301 programming language.. gosh.. I really felt so blur! Don’t know where to start.. I need Visual Studio.Net for C# to test thing out.. and unbelievable that nobody has the pirate version of the program.. haha.. add with the hot weather today.. I really lost my intention to study this project.. sigh.. and lost my spirit.. make me come out with this kind of no-feeling blog.. =__=.. ok2.. Think that I just wake up early and go to DSP lab tomorrow.
Spiritless,

Happy Recess!
Erlin is back =)
This week.. heem.. again.. I can’t remember much of what I have done.. =___=.. what happened to my short term memory.. >.<… a lot of things happened, and a lot of thing that I should follow up.. that’s why I kinda delete all the things that were settled.. sigh.. Anyway, I can remember that I ate KFC on Monday :P… huahaha.. as planned. It has been a month from my last KFC. This time: 2 chests + mash potato + cheese fries + cola. Thanks You Xiang for the coupons.. Thanks tatsu, ari, andre for accompanying.. and thanx to the free shuttle bus! =)
This week I’m still settling the Red Cross design. I just know that every design must go through the approval from Committee, Ms Chan, and Headquarter!! What a tedious steps.. Obstacle is extremely big from the cooperate com of Headquarter. Kept complaining about the stuff.. (“make the photos bigger!” “the words don’t need to be that big, only the title must be bigger!” “you use yellow? It didn’t match with red. What? It’s orange? It’s even worse…You plan to put gold? It never came out well in banner one…”) Ms. Lily.. Thanks so much for all the suggestions you gave to me. And thanks that you eventually approve the design for RCHN Chapter banner. Anybody who happened to read this.. Help me to pray for the clearing of Blood donation Banner.
Talking about ECA.. I just had my AGM (eventually!) on Wednesday. What a relaxing AGM.. only get up and talk for no more than 5 minutes.. and while everything is done, the president (or more precise, CEC) treat us Canadian Pizza.. nyam2.. ate a lot.. also chatted with the new committees.. especially Rudi, our new publicity officer. From the start of the rally, he kept insisting that he wanted to put advertisement at toilet. I wonder why? ^^; hahaha.. wish you all the best ya.. The prez give each of us a Parker pen… Eitts, that is not the token of appreciation yet. Another gift will be given during the investiture. (CEC- work to serve “us” better ><) haha.. Anyway.. eventually.. I really stepped down.. It felt like only yesterday when I was attending the AGM for 5th management committee… at the same place.. at almost the same timing.. haha.. Think that I’ll miss this club. With all the store room fire and everything, it’s memorable enough =)
My M1 plan is eventually over on 21st September. Just as I wonder if I should wait 1 more month before getting a new plan, Handarmin told us that there was promotion from Singtel.. We can get N6280 with $99 from the usual $299.. kyaa.. want want.. eventually, with all will, Handarmin, Henry, Rina and I went to West Mall on Thursday, 5.30 after our class. The bus is so crowded at that time.. we need to wait for the 3rd bus before we can eventually go in… Now I began to understand Singaporean’s sacrification to study here :p
We reached there around 6.30.. easy to find the singtel shop (since we’re with prof. Handarmin). But then.. ix.. the queue was so long.. 10 more people before our turn.. and.. guess what.. almost all of them were purchasing the N6280 too!!! So it’s really that profitable? we eventually waited until almost 8.. At the first time, I was thinking of taking the $0 phone.. but then I find out that it’s not really profitable.. N2160 if I’m not forget.. Thus.. I eventually chose N6280 too!! ^^.. and.. I just know that N6280 is actually 3G.. so they gave us 3G number also.. With 3G.. we can do Video call.. in the rate of usual phone call!! Gee!!! I’m going to try it out soon! More2.. we got the free Campus Call.. $330 each month to call from NTU. And also waived subscription fee.. and since I said that I wanted to retain my M1 number also, Singtel gave me 2 more months of free subscriptions! Ha? Not really understand.. but, happy! We also get free Paris Hilton bling2 cd. Haha.. Out from Singtel Shop, 4 of us was bringing N6280.. Rina got orange one, mine is silver, while henry and handarmin got the black one.. =).. finished with the Singtel, all of them accompany me to M1 customer service, to give them my proof of billing address. Wait for around half hour (gomen all!) then all of us go and eat Burger King.. nyam nyamm.. delicious.. (note: this 3 days: KFC, Pizza, Burger King.. no wonder I got sore throat today).
Reach hall at around 11. Admiring new handphone for 1 hour.. then start to do some stuff on Red Cross.. and especially to my AI.. duuh.. I really spend almost whole week to figure out how to calculate the effective branching factor.. Eventually I slept at 3.. still can’t figure out the answer.. =___=
Next morning, Friday, the last day before recess.. I wake up at 9.20. Settling everything, then set off to school at 10.20… Out of surprise, today I didn’t drink coffee.. and eventually I slept (for the first time in this semester! And being snapped by the paparazzi Calvin ><) in my Engineering and Society lecture.. duuh.. so sorry, Arlene.. My eyes really don’t want to cooperate >.< I slept for almost half hour.. then woke up.. and had dinner with Winson and Henry. And after that… that’s it!! Let’s began the recess!!! Yuhuuuuiiii… Lab 301,302,303,304... I’m coming.. Red Cross first aid.. I’m coming toooo.. hahaha…
Btw, tonight we’re going to celebrate Tomy B’day.. heem.. wonder what have they bought for him? Tomorrow, we’re going to Endy Lo and Herlina convocation. They’re coming to Singapore for that! Looking forward for it ^^
Oh ya.. I got one IQ test from Tatsu.. check out if you can answer all the questions. You can see the answer by highlighting the space after the question.

Glory of Love
These few days, an old song kept sticking in my head. Glory of Love. I got it when I was streaming to Ari’s MP3 collections. It really brings back my childhood memory. No no.. not because I have fallen in love at that very young age… (^^;) But my sister used to play the song, when I was around 4 or 5. The cassette (yes, still cassette that time) is titled “20 Love Songs”. I wonder if it is still there.. I love that cassette very much. It has all the greatest love song ever.. “Lady Rain” and “How deep is your love” is also from there. The “Glory of Love” I heard was sung by Peter Catera, but this one is sung by North. No much different in singing style (compared as I watched the video from YouTube.. haha..). I got information that it is the OST of Karate Kid.. heem.. must be a great movie? I really like the lyrics.. Especially the chorus:
You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone...
I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love...
Definitely one of the best love songs I have ever heard ;)
Huaaa, late for lectuuureee,
Erlin.D
Don't Judge a Book by its Cover!
Eventually... can blog again ^^.. I have been thinking of it for week.. hahaha.. Several things happened that make me think of the title.. but gee.. I forgot what it is about now =___= hahaha.. just joking :P..
The first case was regarding our CSC302 Net Centric Computing lecturer. First impression of him.. heem.. ok.. the lecture is a bit monotone, but his explanation is good, and his English is clear, although it seems like he isn’t Singaporean.. Then later.. we also got him as tutor. I don’t know why, but he is so different as a tutor! Sometimes he was stuck with his own question, thinking (and look like trying to memorize) the solution. Shi Yi whispered to me.. “he is old already…” and I was disappointed with him ^^;
Scene 1 passed. Then came the lab rush. While I have no senior’s lab report to be ‘referred’ to, no other choice.. Duncan, Vida and I need to look for him. It was 5.30 after the lecture. However still, he invited us to his office. He said that he usually went home only by 9. wow!? So that’s how we went to his office.. and ask him regarding the lab. Very helpful. He seems to know his thing very well. He’s the one programmed the interface of Sliding Windows Protocol using java, while we only need to implement some methods and use it. Java is kind of new programming language, and he used it to make 10+ class? Quite impressive! He even point out the bug in our program! Woow.. My respect to him grew again.
We finished our discussion in around half hour. Going out from the office, I notice the name attached to the door. SUN Chengzheng, Professor. Professor!?!? Haa! I heard that there are only 2 professors at SCE.. So he is one of them? Ckck.. That’s when I feel ashamed to ever look down on him ^^;.. first or second impression isn’t always right.. so, never judge a person if you know him/her only for month, k!
The second one is the reverse. Medy, the current NTU Red Cross president is known for his ability to get things done, perfectly. He is the best poly graduate, worked at US, dean list, president, and ureca. What else? Calvin and I, who are taking over his position as Communication’s Officer in Red Cross, on some day last week, needed to buy him a token of appreciation. When I was confused of what to buy.. his roommate cum my partner settled it for me. An Earphone. Nice! But Pink. Ha? I thought that Calvin was fooling around.. but then.. he pointed Medy’s laptop. With pink mouse attached. Silent. Then the laugh bursted out. So Medy likes pink? Hahahaaa.. Nothing is wrong with it, really. But eventually I can find something that I can joke about him :P
Ok.. now.. why I feel like my blogging style is different? >.<
Now is 6th week already.. to be exact, it’s near the recess already!! Accounting has finished its first half lecture.. a lot of feedback forms had been distributed.. and I still can’t get the feeling of ‘ah.. still the beginning of semester’ out of my head ^^; (blame it to Red Cross which just had an orientation last week and made me felt like this is still week 0 :P just joking..)
I enjoyed the time during the orientation.. and yeaah.. Although Communication portfolio didn’t be the overall winner, we had the largest number of ‘freshie’ :P.. hahaha.. Winson and I were in charged as postmaster for ‘Crossing the River’ game. We’re from school of computer engineering, thus the games we provided must fulfill the standard of computer engineer.. yap, this game is mostly about logic (evil grin) 1 father, 1 mother, 2 sons, 2 daughter, 1 police and 1 thief need to cross the river. However, the boat only has the capacity of 2.. Father can’t be with any of his daughter without the mother presence, mother also can’t be with her son without the father.. and the police can’t leave the thief with any of family member. That’s the game. Since this is orientation, 4 people were to be the boat, carrying the other to cross the river.. hohoho.. 3 groups fighting, the group with most CE students win the games v^^v.. yeaah.. However, we did badly for the sport games.. sigh.. expected ^^;
At the afternoon, we had a brief Ambulance introduction course. We’re being shown the real ambulance, and can try out how to use the thing inside. More, Thjin also taught us how to use a lot of first aid carrier.. Glad to have the chance to test it out.. I even be the casualty for Rina.. hahaha.. it’s a fun afternoon =).. Finished with the course, we ended it with water boom war. Then, have a BBQ at Staff Recreation Center. We prepared all the BBQ stuff by ourselves.. Unlike last time BBQ, this time all the subcomms are here.. thus we need to… give priority to them? Nooo.. we need to fight harder to get our food! :P.. hahaha.. just joking… it’s true that we should gave them priority, except for Tomy :P :P.. jokin2.. We chatted until around 10.. then all the subcomm went home.. we, as responsible maincomm, cleaned up the places.. then went home.. The good thing of having event at SRC is that we need to vacant the room before 11.. thus, no more slacking around :P.. huahaa..
Sunday, I slept soundly until 10+. At 11, help Wewoen with the design for Tennis Club. She is the business manager of the club… waah.. final year, and still taking ECA? Impressive. Hahaha.. finished with the design, we went for lunch together.. back from lunch, had ‘discussion’ with Arianto.. after everything settled.. I forget already what I did for the rest of my short weekend. Doing the 183, 302, 303 concurrently, maybe. Hahaha..
On Wednesday, we celebrated Handarmin and Julianto B'day. The style is different this time: no more big cake, no more first cake.. but instead, we bought them a gift. Julianto got sandals.. (He really needs it badly) while Handarmin got a novel and tie. hahaha.. Hope that they like it :D Another major change is that: we celebrate the b'day on the H date... It feels much more meaningful =) However, since some might be busy, we decided that our event must finished in 1 hour. heem... After the first test run, feedback is gathered. Half prefered the old way of B'day.. Half preferred both. Then vote was casted. and the result is... 12 : 12. huahaha.. eventually, we decided to just let it be.. depends on the situation later ba :D The meeting closed at around 10. At that meeting, new coordinator was selected. All the best, Henny and Jessica! hahaha...
The rest of the week isn't very important.. heem.. let's just skip it.. nothing much except submitting the 303 report, and rushing for the 302 report. 304 deadline is around the corner.. and here come the second 303 assignment.. poor 301 being out from the lab loop.. I had been warned that I should start 301 soon.. ok.. let’s see!
Aside from all the academic matter.. Let’s now move to ECA ^^.. hahaha.. on Monday, Calvin and I went to Dhoby ghout to have meeting at Headquarter. The meeting was at 5.30. Thus, as I finished my lesson at 4.30, I took 199 to boonlay. Really hard to believe that after 15 minutes inside the bus, I was still at NTU!! It took half hour to reach boonlay.. and as expected… we’re late for the first meeting.. what a good impression I made =__=.. however, Denise, the person we were meeting, is a very nice person (Calvin: for any email related to her, I wrote baa.. I like to write to her ^^;).. she helped us clarifying a lot of things. The meeting continued from 5.50 until almost 8!! So sorry to disturb you for so long, Denise.. But.. thanks a lot, really =).. The other Headquarter members isn’t that helpful. Medy said, besides Denise, Carol is also very nice. Fund raising and Corporate coms people aren’t very approachable. Ok.. noted! Haha.. Finished the meeting, we rushed for dinner. Calvin insisted to eat Sakae sushi.. but no buffet at night le.. hahaha.. eventually, after having dinner (thanks for the treat! :P) we went back to NTU.. and I attended Alfonso’s 22nd B’day at SADM (School of Art and Design Media).. Happy B'day, Pong!! Gee.. the place is nice.. with a fountain there. Nice place for b’day, as we can directly throw the king to the water. Haha. Just joking. I was coming late, though. I missed something. Uppss.. :x.. hahaha.. ok, no more gossip around. Ilfina was there in the party, Mery too, along with Alex. The party finished around 11.. then all of us went back to hall.. (lucky that all of us from big number hall).. Meet Henry and Rudi on the way back too.. they just finished their CEC meeting. Hahaha.. Seems like Malla is better than expected, after all =)
Btw, want to say something about Red Cross vs CEC.. It’s true that small club has even more things to handle than big clubs. I feel that I did almost nothing at CEC.. while at Redcross.. no more than 2 months, and I have more photos that I ever have from my whole year at CEC. Hahaha.. AGM, fund raising, BBQ, photo taking, subcomms meeting, 2 orientations, CIP.. gee. It’s a lot. True that it’s much more tiring. True that we have more limited budget. True that the point is not that much and true that it’s harder for us to keep our subcomms motivated with the small point. Hahaha.. but then, back to the key point. Am I learning thing? Yes. A smooth sea never makes a skilful sailor. Then I’ll stay motivated ;)
Still regarding ECA.. one thing juuusstt happenned yesterday that can be added to my list of 'not smooth sea experiences'. It's about the Welcome Carnival. I blamed myself that I never really understand how to work as a stage officer. I liaised with some performers that time.. The payment of $200 was agreed.. at the end of the day, Linda told me that $200 will need to go through a lot of trouble. Can please make it to $199? Ok.. that’s the first thing. So I asked them to change to $199. They agreed, although they feel strange. Then I asked Linda again.. what should they bring? Receipt or invoice? Linda said Receipt will be ok.. so that the date of their performance, I asked them to bring receipt. We also paid them directly. 1 month passed after that issue. Then Linda suddenly called me and asked me to get invoice from them, and make it payable to NTU Student Union. Last time was made payable to NTU Welcome Carnival.. thus it’s not valid. Ok.. so, I called them again. 2nd time. They agreed to send it to me. After I pushing them so hard and get the mail, I called Linda.. and she said she didn’t need it anymore. Felt cheated. But as long as everything is fine.. then it’s ok.. But then!! Just yesterday, Long yi called me again and asked me to get either receipt from them or their IC softcopy! Hah!?!? What actually do you want!? I told them that I have collected invoice from they.. he directly said “for what? It’s useless” Arrrggh. I was so angry that time. However, I try to ask for the performers help, though. It ended up with I being scold (or more polite: being advised) by them. Kept requesting for strange thing isn’t the way we did business. At the end, they rejected to send anything anymore. I called Long Yi.. also end up being scold for not being able to get thing done… And he also said that he will blacklisted the performers. In my honest point of view, if I was the performer, I don’t even want to do business with you anymore. The performers also said to me that this is really not about the amount of money they earned. It’s about the ethics. I agree.. So.. that’s the experience I got at 11pm yesterday. Learnt. hahaha.. Just wish that I don't get another experience in this short period of time :P
Oh yaa.. at this opportunity.. I would like to congratz ilfina.. for making her way to the publicity officer of ICONS. Also Teguh for being her partner.. ganbatteee ne for both of you! ^^.. Thanks so much for still staying at Red Cross, Ilfina =).. And also Theresia.. all the best for your Sigraph ;).. sad to hear that you’re leaving Red Cross.. but thanks to keep helping us until the end of this semester. Oh.. and also Eva.. Don’t be too stress with the ECA, k.. The list of ECA you show to me were really shocking.. ^^;.. Sorry if I didn’t help much in deciding of which ECA you should forgo: Investment club, Toast Master club.. those will be in the bottom part of ECA list that I will ever consider joining. Hahaha.. Oh.. I haven’t congratz you for URECA yet.. Jia you hor! I know that you’ll be able to handle it well =) Btw, the juniors have name for themselves.. they called themselves Initial D+. Curious where is it from, I asked Teguh.. he said it is because some of them got D+ for their Effective Communication.. the first D+ they got.. huahahaa.. so funny.. ^^;.. well, Initial D+, all the best with your 50+ members! :P
Talking about Ureca.. I eventually took it with Zhang Jun, the most favorite supervisor right now. He supervises more than 20 FYP Students! Including Julius and Cipto. Venny, Hans, Henry, Medy, Andi, and me are his Ureca students. What a huge collection of Indonesian! Hahaha… He even got one student from EEE taking his project. Ckckck.. I took the project on Digital Media Delivery in Peer-to-Peer Networks. Haven’t really started it yet.. plan to start by this week.. But how to start? He said that it’s mostly about streaming video with peer to peer. Heem.. let’s make a start by testing of current product. YouTube, maybe? :P hahaha...

The first case was regarding our CSC302 Net Centric Computing lecturer. First impression of him.. heem.. ok.. the lecture is a bit monotone, but his explanation is good, and his English is clear, although it seems like he isn’t Singaporean.. Then later.. we also got him as tutor. I don’t know why, but he is so different as a tutor! Sometimes he was stuck with his own question, thinking (and look like trying to memorize) the solution. Shi Yi whispered to me.. “he is old already…” and I was disappointed with him ^^;
Scene 1 passed. Then came the lab rush. While I have no senior’s lab report to be ‘referred’ to, no other choice.. Duncan, Vida and I need to look for him. It was 5.30 after the lecture. However still, he invited us to his office. He said that he usually went home only by 9. wow!? So that’s how we went to his office.. and ask him regarding the lab. Very helpful. He seems to know his thing very well. He’s the one programmed the interface of Sliding Windows Protocol using java, while we only need to implement some methods and use it. Java is kind of new programming language, and he used it to make 10+ class? Quite impressive! He even point out the bug in our program! Woow.. My respect to him grew again.
We finished our discussion in around half hour. Going out from the office, I notice the name attached to the door. SUN Chengzheng, Professor. Professor!?!? Haa! I heard that there are only 2 professors at SCE.. So he is one of them? Ckck.. That’s when I feel ashamed to ever look down on him ^^;.. first or second impression isn’t always right.. so, never judge a person if you know him/her only for month, k!
The second one is the reverse. Medy, the current NTU Red Cross president is known for his ability to get things done, perfectly. He is the best poly graduate, worked at US, dean list, president, and ureca. What else? Calvin and I, who are taking over his position as Communication’s Officer in Red Cross, on some day last week, needed to buy him a token of appreciation. When I was confused of what to buy.. his roommate cum my partner settled it for me. An Earphone. Nice! But Pink. Ha? I thought that Calvin was fooling around.. but then.. he pointed Medy’s laptop. With pink mouse attached. Silent. Then the laugh bursted out. So Medy likes pink? Hahahaaa.. Nothing is wrong with it, really. But eventually I can find something that I can joke about him :P
Ok.. now.. why I feel like my blogging style is different? >.<
Now is 6th week already.. to be exact, it’s near the recess already!! Accounting has finished its first half lecture.. a lot of feedback forms had been distributed.. and I still can’t get the feeling of ‘ah.. still the beginning of semester’ out of my head ^^; (blame it to Red Cross which just had an orientation last week and made me felt like this is still week 0 :P just joking..)
I enjoyed the time during the orientation.. and yeaah.. Although Communication portfolio didn’t be the overall winner, we had the largest number of ‘freshie’ :P.. hahaha.. Winson and I were in charged as postmaster for ‘Crossing the River’ game. We’re from school of computer engineering, thus the games we provided must fulfill the standard of computer engineer.. yap, this game is mostly about logic (evil grin) 1 father, 1 mother, 2 sons, 2 daughter, 1 police and 1 thief need to cross the river. However, the boat only has the capacity of 2.. Father can’t be with any of his daughter without the mother presence, mother also can’t be with her son without the father.. and the police can’t leave the thief with any of family member. That’s the game. Since this is orientation, 4 people were to be the boat, carrying the other to cross the river.. hohoho.. 3 groups fighting, the group with most CE students win the games v^^v.. yeaah.. However, we did badly for the sport games.. sigh.. expected ^^;
At the afternoon, we had a brief Ambulance introduction course. We’re being shown the real ambulance, and can try out how to use the thing inside. More, Thjin also taught us how to use a lot of first aid carrier.. Glad to have the chance to test it out.. I even be the casualty for Rina.. hahaha.. it’s a fun afternoon =).. Finished with the course, we ended it with water boom war. Then, have a BBQ at Staff Recreation Center. We prepared all the BBQ stuff by ourselves.. Unlike last time BBQ, this time all the subcomms are here.. thus we need to… give priority to them? Nooo.. we need to fight harder to get our food! :P.. hahaha.. just joking… it’s true that we should gave them priority, except for Tomy :P :P.. jokin2.. We chatted until around 10.. then all the subcomm went home.. we, as responsible maincomm, cleaned up the places.. then went home.. The good thing of having event at SRC is that we need to vacant the room before 11.. thus, no more slacking around :P.. huahaa..
Sunday, I slept soundly until 10+. At 11, help Wewoen with the design for Tennis Club. She is the business manager of the club… waah.. final year, and still taking ECA? Impressive. Hahaha.. finished with the design, we went for lunch together.. back from lunch, had ‘discussion’ with Arianto.. after everything settled.. I forget already what I did for the rest of my short weekend. Doing the 183, 302, 303 concurrently, maybe. Hahaha..
On Wednesday, we celebrated Handarmin and Julianto B'day. The style is different this time: no more big cake, no more first cake.. but instead, we bought them a gift. Julianto got sandals.. (He really needs it badly) while Handarmin got a novel and tie. hahaha.. Hope that they like it :D Another major change is that: we celebrate the b'day on the H date... It feels much more meaningful =) However, since some might be busy, we decided that our event must finished in 1 hour. heem... After the first test run, feedback is gathered. Half prefered the old way of B'day.. Half preferred both. Then vote was casted. and the result is... 12 : 12. huahaha.. eventually, we decided to just let it be.. depends on the situation later ba :D The meeting closed at around 10. At that meeting, new coordinator was selected. All the best, Henny and Jessica! hahaha...
The rest of the week isn't very important.. heem.. let's just skip it.. nothing much except submitting the 303 report, and rushing for the 302 report. 304 deadline is around the corner.. and here come the second 303 assignment.. poor 301 being out from the lab loop.. I had been warned that I should start 301 soon.. ok.. let’s see!
Aside from all the academic matter.. Let’s now move to ECA ^^.. hahaha.. on Monday, Calvin and I went to Dhoby ghout to have meeting at Headquarter. The meeting was at 5.30. Thus, as I finished my lesson at 4.30, I took 199 to boonlay. Really hard to believe that after 15 minutes inside the bus, I was still at NTU!! It took half hour to reach boonlay.. and as expected… we’re late for the first meeting.. what a good impression I made =__=.. however, Denise, the person we were meeting, is a very nice person (Calvin: for any email related to her, I wrote baa.. I like to write to her ^^;).. she helped us clarifying a lot of things. The meeting continued from 5.50 until almost 8!! So sorry to disturb you for so long, Denise.. But.. thanks a lot, really =).. The other Headquarter members isn’t that helpful. Medy said, besides Denise, Carol is also very nice. Fund raising and Corporate coms people aren’t very approachable. Ok.. noted! Haha.. Finished the meeting, we rushed for dinner. Calvin insisted to eat Sakae sushi.. but no buffet at night le.. hahaha.. eventually, after having dinner (thanks for the treat! :P) we went back to NTU.. and I attended Alfonso’s 22nd B’day at SADM (School of Art and Design Media).. Happy B'day, Pong!! Gee.. the place is nice.. with a fountain there. Nice place for b’day, as we can directly throw the king to the water. Haha. Just joking. I was coming late, though. I missed something. Uppss.. :x.. hahaha.. ok, no more gossip around. Ilfina was there in the party, Mery too, along with Alex. The party finished around 11.. then all of us went back to hall.. (lucky that all of us from big number hall).. Meet Henry and Rudi on the way back too.. they just finished their CEC meeting. Hahaha.. Seems like Malla is better than expected, after all =)
Btw, want to say something about Red Cross vs CEC.. It’s true that small club has even more things to handle than big clubs. I feel that I did almost nothing at CEC.. while at Redcross.. no more than 2 months, and I have more photos that I ever have from my whole year at CEC. Hahaha.. AGM, fund raising, BBQ, photo taking, subcomms meeting, 2 orientations, CIP.. gee. It’s a lot. True that it’s much more tiring. True that we have more limited budget. True that the point is not that much and true that it’s harder for us to keep our subcomms motivated with the small point. Hahaha.. but then, back to the key point. Am I learning thing? Yes. A smooth sea never makes a skilful sailor. Then I’ll stay motivated ;)
Still regarding ECA.. one thing juuusstt happenned yesterday that can be added to my list of 'not smooth sea experiences'. It's about the Welcome Carnival. I blamed myself that I never really understand how to work as a stage officer. I liaised with some performers that time.. The payment of $200 was agreed.. at the end of the day, Linda told me that $200 will need to go through a lot of trouble. Can please make it to $199? Ok.. that’s the first thing. So I asked them to change to $199. They agreed, although they feel strange. Then I asked Linda again.. what should they bring? Receipt or invoice? Linda said Receipt will be ok.. so that the date of their performance, I asked them to bring receipt. We also paid them directly. 1 month passed after that issue. Then Linda suddenly called me and asked me to get invoice from them, and make it payable to NTU Student Union. Last time was made payable to NTU Welcome Carnival.. thus it’s not valid. Ok.. so, I called them again. 2nd time. They agreed to send it to me. After I pushing them so hard and get the mail, I called Linda.. and she said she didn’t need it anymore. Felt cheated. But as long as everything is fine.. then it’s ok.. But then!! Just yesterday, Long yi called me again and asked me to get either receipt from them or their IC softcopy! Hah!?!? What actually do you want!? I told them that I have collected invoice from they.. he directly said “for what? It’s useless” Arrrggh. I was so angry that time. However, I try to ask for the performers help, though. It ended up with I being scold (or more polite: being advised) by them. Kept requesting for strange thing isn’t the way we did business. At the end, they rejected to send anything anymore. I called Long Yi.. also end up being scold for not being able to get thing done… And he also said that he will blacklisted the performers.

Week End...
The day after DND.. I slept until 10++.. Ooh.. how much I miss the long dozy sleep. It has been weeks without it. Haha.. however, I looked much more panda than before :S. how come T__T… I had lunch with Inche.. then she went for NTUSU meeting.. while I went back to hall and began to focus on IA..
First step! Reading regulations (eventually felt bored even before I finished the 5%). Then skipped to second step! Fill in data sheet and resume (finished in 3 hours with horrible English) and third step! Looking for IA company (had to ask imam where to find the link.. =___=). Lousy me. As I got the list, I looked through the company.. weeeew.. 368 project.. and we’re to choose only one out of it. The first company in the list is Accenture. I considered it for awhile. Typical consideration.. benefit: experience and high salary. Consequence: OT.. (when to do my Red Cross and Ureca then?) and also the fact that it’s very hard to get good grade there. Then I encountered Apple. Asked Arianto if he knew anybody who worked there before.. he said that there is one senior worked there 3 years ago.. and after graduating, still working there. Must not be too bad. However, this is the first time Apple was listed in IA list after the 3 years.. I have no clue about the background, then. But still, don’t know why, I’m applying for Apple. Vida told me about her experience with Mac computer (I just know NTU got Mac at ADM! Ckckck.. what a contrast NTU made to us T__T) With no taskbar and no button at the CPU. Working there means that I should prepare myself to work with Mac.. will I be able to? Haiiik, we’ll never know if we don’t try it out ^^.. so I eventually stick with the plan, although I almost resign when Medy said that he wants to fight for it also.. haha.. eventually he choose Citibank.. Vida chose Exxon.. Yongky chose SQ @ Changi. Winson would fight with me if both of us in. He is at Creative. Henry chose Motorola (while he himself use Nokia ^^;) hahaha.. Yongky told me that Wayan and another CE student also run for Apple le.. need to find out more about it.. who know they have more information. o^.^o Another lousy thing from me.. Apple is at Ang Mo kio. I never know that it is actually farther than Changi. It was about 1 ½ hour traveling.. sigh.. I thought it was at China Town.. >.<…
Finished with the IA matter, it was night already. I had dinner with blazers at hall 14. So did Junior. I didn’t know who organized it, but the second year juniors were having a grand dinner with the first year juniors.. (suspect: Wisnu and Rudi). Nice to know that they gathered around. ^^.. Finished with the dinner, they went to block lounge 69 and played some games.. until 12++.. I myself was struggling with Accounting until 2++… then went to sleep.. ZzzZz..
Next morning.. as usual, called home ^^ Glad to know Mum and Dad is fine2. Then I did CSC303 tutorial.. then refining CSC303 lab.. then dedicated all my time for CSC 302 lab. Try my best to understand the Sliding Windows Protocol.. @.@ the due date is next week.. maan.. during the stressing time, Arianto asked me regarding CSC304 lab.. make me remember that it’s also due next week… olala... and also I haven’t replied Calvin regarding the Redcross Awareness Week… Duh.. am I slacking too much already? The 4 labs are really uncontrollable. Now I understand why Henry became king of Panda last semester. He already officially pass the honour to me last week.. T__T. huahaha.. Anyway, tomorrow, Medy and I were going to meet a Zan Jiun (is this how to spell?) to discuss about Ureca. Wish that I can settled most of the stuff by this week.. since I still got another Red Cross orientation for next week ^^;
5th Week! Ganbattee everyone!!

SCE Dinner and Dance 2006: Viva Las Vegas
Vivaaa!! ^^
The Dinner and Dance was great =).. I run back to hostel as I finished my CSC301 lecture, skipping the CSC183.. no hard feeling.. as Henry also skipped.. hahaha.. Back to hall, rushed to bath, then waited for Ilfina.. then we went to CarPark F together with Henry and Arianto. We were late 15 minutes from schedules.. gomeneee.. gals ma.. Should be understandable. Hahaha.. As we’re approaching the bus, I saw the laughing from inside the bus. Then I started to think what are they laughing about.. it’s me or the ‘rest’? till now, I’m still not very sure.. but they made joke that i looked like flag, with my red and white attire T__T.. don’t care.. it’s kind of Nationalism what.. hahaha..
There was a long traffic jam before we eventually reached Raffles Town Club. We’re there around 7pm.. looked around.. snapped around.. I got pic with Arlene Bastion! And directly being shoot: “No wonder I didn’t see you in class just now!!!”..sigh. haha.. also got pics with our CSC303 Soft Eng II lecturer.. thanks a lot mam :D.. then we eventually going to the lounge for dinner. Hahaha.. I sat in the same table with new committee: Henry, Rudi, Edmond, Moja, Fajrian, Xuyi, and Ankur. Sat beside me was Ilfina, followed by Arianto :P. The food is great in quality.. but very poor in quantity (blush) I almost feel nothing as I finished the dinner. Huahaha.. however, lucky us, as the 6th and 7th management committee, Prof Yew bought red wine for us! Kyaaa o^.^o.. I didn’t really like the taste, but it feels great to hold a glass of red wine. Hahaha.. Eventually I only drank abit. Henry drank 3 glasses! And admitted himself that he was drunk =___=.. There was pageant and magic show during dinner. 2 Magicians. The first one was really really a joker.. should be put up purposely.. then the second one is great! He popped out a lot of pigeons from no where! That was the coolest part. Pageant wise.. hem.. I support F3.. and a lot of people support F4.. however.. the winner is F2.. :( It’s a good show, anyway. At the first time, all the male contestant came out wearing only singlet and short! What a difference with typical pageant show.. impressed with SCE DND.. at least there is something we can be proud of. Haha.. There was a lot of lucky draw.. however.. as invited guest, we didn’t even have the draw number.. huumpph.. not fair >.<.. there were 30 lucky draws, if I’m not wrong.. almost half of guest got prices. Hahaha..
The party finished around 11, with a final champagne toast. Then, again, we mingled around and take pictures.. with 6th management committee.. with our new publicity officer.. with prof Yew.. even with Elson, the guest singer of the day! ^^ Ilfina went along with me. She got a bucket of flower.. Glad to know that she enjoyed the DND ^^.. You had brightened someone day, too.
We went back to NTU by the same bus. The prez was asking us to go for pool and bowling… considering pool vs panda, I chose to go back and sleep. Reach hall around 1.. transferring photos.. then went to sleep around 2…

Happy Teacher’s Day!
Let’s celebrate teacher day by not studying and typing a blog :P.. hahaha..
What had happened to me this week? In ‘almost’ the same situation like last week.. so many things to do that I really can’t believe it’s Friday again now! Weew.. This whole week I had been focusing much on CSC 303 lab.. (means: I haven’t done any other labs) Being a project manager really means lots more than just do my job and pushing them to do the job T__T.. A lot of ahead planning is necessary.. and Imam really made me realize that. Thanks for all your help.. and so sorry for the time when I was kept insisting for my own point of view.. I shouldn’t have =) Thanks for the rest of the group too.. Let’s make the Software engineering II half blurrier than Software engineering 1, instead of doubling it! Yaaayyy,,, (really need to pray hard) but, so for now.. 80% of the project plan is completed ^^.. also the requirement specification and the design.. We should be able to reach the target before next week :D..
Aside from CSC303.. Red Cross had held another meeting... Mostly to prepare for the Red Cross’s internal orientation.. which will be on 9th of September. It should be at 2nd Sept.. but due to Vietnamese’s national day and a lot of subcomm can’t come, we need to delay it a week. We respected other nationality, you know.. haha.. besides.. really thanks that it is postponed.. I really need to rest… In the meeting, Winson, Rina, Calvin and I planned games for the orientation.. one of it is a nice game regarding logic.. of how are we going to travel from one side of shore to another.. just.. for the orientation, we planned to substitute the ship with subcomms.. then they should carry another subcomms.. fu fu fu…
Talking about games, when I was trying to do my Artificial Intelligence Lab, I found a very interesting game sites from the reference.. You can go there by clicking here.. All the games are related to logic.. but I can only access some.. because the rest need to pay.. hahaha.. I was really got into it.. until.. at the end of the day.. I realized that we supposed to derive the formula for the logic.. instead of playing with it.. =___=.. haha.. but who cares.. Anybody interested.. try the Logic Matches game. I managed to do all the 16 problems.. v^^v (time wasn’t to be specified.. haha..)
That’s all on Monday and Tuesday.. on Wednesday and Thursday, all free time were dedicated for CSC303… studied how to plan.. and frustrated to look for pirate Microsoft Office Project.. Thanks Henry.. I should had asked you from the beginning. You’re the best pirates.. (Yes, it’s a compliment :P) hahaha..
Still related to pirates.. Anybody know about The Hospital? Where Jerry Yan and Agnes played together? Henny had managed to pirate it for us ^^ (hip hip hurray for Henny!) I sneak peek of it when inche was watching.. Agnes was pretty there.. and her hair is black.. haha.. however… her sound seems to be dubbed. Proud to see Indonesian artist in Taiwan’s movie.. however.. she did nothing but crying in her first appearance.. sigh.. hope to see more later. Hahaha..
Btw, Inche took a director position in NTUSU this year.. As a Welfare Officer. Congratulations for you, Che! The first few days might be hard, but I know that you’ll be able to handle it well.. just don’t forget to rest.. and don’t forget to wake me up everyday.. hahaha.. joking2! All the best ya Che! May be you can in concurrently be a welfare director for Blazers too.. Kept us updated for the free buffets around NTU! Peace! ^^
Oh ya.. I haven’t really talked about my subject this semester.. I had 6 subject.. 4 core, 1 Eng soc, and 1 accounting. All the lecturer are fine, in my point of view, even for the eng soc teacher.. Arlene Bastion.. who is so so enthusiastic to keep walking back and front.. till I don’t know where is the best seat so I can listen to her comfortably. She gave us a project to be submitted on October.. We need to find a topic that is related to Singapore.. mostly about the society (& politic) which I was really lack at T__T.. having discuss with the guys (Henry, Winson and Duncan) they eventually decided to take the topic on “Is Singapore safe from Terrorism?” sigh.. I should have formed group with gals instead.. T__T.. I really knew nothing about terrorism.. haiizz.. may be just let them do the job? Huahhaa.. anyway, I think it’s going to be an interesting discussion ;)
Btw, the result for CEC 7th management committee is out…Henry got the full support from all SCE students. More than 50% votes! Leaving the other 2 candidates behind.. ckck.. two thumbs up for you! Also congrats to Moja (Treasurer), Rudi (Publicity), Fajrian (another Logistic), Yongky (sport), Erikson (another sport), and Edmond (Academic archive).. (Woow.. these are a lot!) haven’t added in the co-opt IT officers, Hans and Wayan.. we represented the half CEC already. Hahaha.. Sad that Ilfina didn’t make it to the committee… However.. don’t give up oo.. just fight again next year.. for now.. let’s try your best to be the subcomm head in Red Cross.. hahaha.. Hope that this can help to fight for your desired position next year ;) Ganbatte!
I mentioned about teacher’s day on the topic.. yep2.. today it is. But maybe only for Singapore. In accordance to it, SCE held its dinner and dance. And as the last year committee.. I was invited.. with 100% subsidize.. fu fu fu.. Really attractive.. however.. I can’t make up my mind at the first few hours.. there is a lecture I need to skip (Arlene’s).. and a buffet after URECA briefing I need to forgo.. (strange that the the buffet is included in opportunity cost instead of the briefing) and also I didn’t know what to wear for the dinner and dance.. T__T.. but after a lot of consideration.. I decide to take the ticket :D.. After all, I’m going along with all committee members.. and this might be the last time where all of us can be together.. =) at the end.. I get information that Rudi and Henry as the new committee members are also invited! And Ilfina is also going! Kyaaa.. I am now glad that I took the decision.. ^^.. The DND is tonite, at Raffles Town Club. Will that be any ‘thing’ happen on this DND? Will that be an unforgettable day for ‘someone’? I wonder… :D
Fan yi Chen Campus Concert, Ureca Briefing, SCE Dinner and Dance, all in the same day and time. Must be hard to take a decision for all NTU students to choose what to be prioritized. Haha.. Oh.. btw.. My URECA result is out.. I got A+! :D :D.. So happy.. (although it’s only accounted as GE ^^;) Thanks so much, Prof Chen Li Hui and William.. for all your assistance.. I kinda miss it now.. :’) I still don’t know what project I’m going to take this year.. or.. will I take a project this year? The 4 labs for 4 core subjects are really killers… Btw, the project name I took last year weren’t in the list anymore.. There is only one project from Prof Chen. Heeemmm.. Wish that you get a much better person this year, prof! :)
More to surprise, the email for Industrial Attachement was here already.. Can you believe, they only gave us 1 week for the application T___T help help.. It’s September 1 now.. and we only have time until September 6.. hahaha.. I didn’t know what to choose yet.. Accenture? Exxon? Motorola? Google? Christian suggested CITS.
Going for Artificial Intelligence lecture,

What had happened to me this week? In ‘almost’ the same situation like last week.. so many things to do that I really can’t believe it’s Friday again now! Weew.. This whole week I had been focusing much on CSC 303 lab.. (means: I haven’t done any other labs) Being a project manager really means lots more than just do my job and pushing them to do the job T__T.. A lot of ahead planning is necessary.. and Imam really made me realize that. Thanks for all your help.. and so sorry for the time when I was kept insisting for my own point of view.. I shouldn’t have =) Thanks for the rest of the group too.. Let’s make the Software engineering II half blurrier than Software engineering 1, instead of doubling it! Yaaayyy,,, (really need to pray hard) but, so for now.. 80% of the project plan is completed ^^.. also the requirement specification and the design.. We should be able to reach the target before next week :D..
Aside from CSC303.. Red Cross had held another meeting... Mostly to prepare for the Red Cross’s internal orientation.. which will be on 9th of September. It should be at 2nd Sept.. but due to Vietnamese’s national day and a lot of subcomm can’t come, we need to delay it a week. We respected other nationality, you know.. haha.. besides.. really thanks that it is postponed.. I really need to rest… In the meeting, Winson, Rina, Calvin and I planned games for the orientation.. one of it is a nice game regarding logic.. of how are we going to travel from one side of shore to another.. just.. for the orientation, we planned to substitute the ship with subcomms.. then they should carry another subcomms.. fu fu fu…
Talking about games, when I was trying to do my Artificial Intelligence Lab, I found a very interesting game sites from the reference.. You can go there by clicking here.. All the games are related to logic.. but I can only access some.. because the rest need to pay.. hahaha.. I was really got into it.. until.. at the end of the day.. I realized that we supposed to derive the formula for the logic.. instead of playing with it.. =___=.. haha.. but who cares.. Anybody interested.. try the Logic Matches game. I managed to do all the 16 problems.. v^^v (time wasn’t to be specified.. haha..)
