Home sweet home

Didnt update for so long........

I am enjoying life now. And I know someday I will miss this moment very very much.
I am glad that I have finally embarked on a path that I have hesitated for a very long time.
Life is a good teacher. I learnt a lot. And I am glad that I am given a second opportunity.

i m sleepy

now i m having my c programming class as usual.

AND I M SLEEPY!

i joined robocon and i had fun.

i should had put mechatronic instead of electronic engineering.
not that electronic isnt good.. but i think i would enjoy making robots than making small circuits.
at least the sense of accomplishment is bigger.

in robocon, we are required to make one autocar and one mechanism assignments.

the autocar will have to complete certain task (go around the black line in one round, then put the ping pong ball at certain place...).

i have lots of circuits to be completed. currently, i finished doing voltage regulator, ir sensor, PIC circuit and boot-loader circuit.

i still have one comparator circuit (which i had already planned. hope it works) , one motor driver circuit, and i have to program my autocar (which is most probably the hardest part).

I enjoy finishing my circuits and seeing the small led lights up. but other than that, the process is tortorous. I happen to choose the wrong souldering gun several times (in which the gun is too hot and my timah was totally uncontrollable). I learnt a lot.

If i can join the robocon team, i believe i will gain a lot of knowledge.

let's c where future takes me.

mess

what a mess.

sometimes i wonder why do we do the things we did. i wish someone can explain that to me.
I went through lots of things these days. my life has not been smooth after my secondary education. Things are getting harder and tougher. Though I do enjoy some of the things I did, but most of the time, I tend to regret.

Regret is a very strong and useful word in my life. I regret doing a lot of things. But sometimes i will think: if I don't do it, who knows what's gonna happen to me?

Besides, no matter how hard I try, there will always be people better than me, smarter than me, and happier than me. All I want to do is just be myself. But sometimes, being myself irritates me. I wish that I can be a more passive person. The fact is, I talk a lot, express myself too much, and that annoys people including myself.

I like to observe, understand, see and judge people or things a lot. I like to critic and express my dissatisfaction. But when it comes to myself, I failed to do that terribly. I failed to understand how to improve and change my weaknesses to strengths. I failed to be well accepted and well-liked by others. I failed a lot of things in many aspects.

Enough of my expressive thoughts.

I am facing lots of stress lately. I guess. And when I stress, I eat.

tomorrow there will be a blood donation campaign. I feel like donating my blood for the third time in one year (previously was on october 08, march 09). how cool is that. Please don't think that I have the heart of an angel by saying that I want to donate blood. I am way evil than that. I am not a good person. Muahahaha.

but experts say u will get fatter after u donate blood. quite true. but who cares.

by the way, i am type A. I wish to be have a blood type A personality though. I am too active. >.<

I am very scared of uncertainties in life.
Am I smart enough?

In Remembrance

Life is short. yet fragile. And these people lived their life gloriously before they take their vacation from life. Their death shocked me and set me thinking : what kind of life do I want before my time comes? what kind of person do I want people to remember me as? Some may say that I am thinking too much. But it's never too much when you are planning to live your life your way.



Bernie Mac (October 5, 1957 – August 9, 2008)
He was only 50 years old when he left us. Pneumonia took him away. But it can't take away the achievements and memories he left in the Hollywood industry. He starred in Ocean Twelve, Ocean Thirteen, Transformers, Charlie's Angels and was the voice for Zuba the lion (father of Alex) in Madagascar 2. I only knw about it after I watched Madagascar 2, when the crews thanked him during the ending credits for his laughs all these while. How touching.



Xu Wei Lun (November 13, 1978 – January 28, 2007)
She was one of the most talented actress in Taiwan. Graduated with a major in French, she could play piano and harp beautifully. She starred in many popular taiwanese drama. She once said that she would get married when she turned 30. But she was only 29 on that day. Her death shattered many people's heart. mine included. It was a tragic car accident.



Ah Sang (February 28, 1975 - April 6, 2009)
She is a singer, and was once very popular. However, she seemed to disappear for a few years. While many are still waiting for her comebacks, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and left us quietly. Her most popular song, "叶子" meaning the leaves, is one of my favourite.

Many great people might have left. But they shall always be remembered, for how great they once lived. It alerts me how important it is to cherish the things I have now, my family, my friends, the people I know, the things I have seen, the places I been to, and the love I received from everyone I loved dearly.

To all
If there's something you have always wanted to do but haven't do it due to many reasons, forget about the lame excuses you have given yourself (e.g: I am too busy / It's not necessary / What would others think if I do that? / I will do it some other day / I want to do it, but... ) What "but"? no buts! GO FOR IT NOW if it doesnt hurt the others or if you are financially able to achieve that.

Let's start chasing our dreams. from now. ^_________^

My favourite line from kungfu panda

Po: Maybe I should just quit and go back to making noodles.

Oogway: Quit, don't quit? Noodles, don't noodles? You are too concerned about what was and what will be. There is a saying: yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the "present."

i can't wait.
