Against the Odds Here come the Sunshines

Exhausted after a long morning. Try to catch a good nap but sleeping capability has been deteriorating these days. :( I miss those times where the sleep mode switched on within five mins the body landed on the bed. Guess am really under tremendous stress recently? Wonder what monster is bothering me so much on getting a good sleep. Always need an hour or so rolling here and there before falling asleep and always wake up an hour or so before the alarm strike. Hope this won't persist long though cause I seriously am tired but my brain just wouldn't rest! T_______T

Finally submitted FYP poster and must tell you my poster looks super awesome k? :D It was only until 7th or 8th version I have finally satisfied my mentor to approve me to submit for printing. #truestory I used to think poster presentation sucks cause you never know who will be your audiences and can never present just like having a powerpoint slides, but not true! Til I saw my poster ♥ :))))))) At least my efforts are not just completely crammed into limited pages of slides with just 2 audiences, the supervisor and moderator. But still pray hard the any random audiences won't get me into embarrassing scenarios by throwing me bunch of questions. I have been doing too much talking recently that I hope I can get a hiatus from it.

And finally finally submitted the FYP REPORT! Ultimate report that I ever have for these 4 years. :) It was really an eventful thing with this report. Dunno how many 129094313813029 times I have changed it from content to format. Thank Buddha finally completed, printed the hardcopy, submitted to school office and bid farewell to it forever. *muacks* Speaking of printing the report, it was another eventful thing. Yes I am going to tell you what happened cause I haven't been journalizing my things for quite some times now, if you realized. And also because I have times. (trying to avoid the reality to start mugging ENS o.O)

Supposedly today is the official submission day but I had a paper yesterday (YES LAST SECOND PAPER IN NTU!) so decided to print and submit it yesterday instead cause campus is like 23139123123 miles away from room k? Since I am already at campus anyway. I am wise enough cause today weather is scotching hot don't want step out from room at all wtf. Guess what the overall printing+binding cost me like 15 bucks?! Okie, it is expected cause I have heard people printed their copies for like 20+, for 2 copies I guess. But I just need one. So never mind. I am grateful that luckily I only need to hand in one copy at this price. *thank buddha* Honestly can totally blamed the cost on colour printed pages wtf. The 16 pages cost 8 bucks #fml I got a big shock when I saw the price -.- Cause have not printed any colour materials before ma. The night before I some more went to website checked and thought the rate is S$0.05 per pages and secretly super happy cause so cheap16 pages 80 cents only. (I have heard people complained colour printing is expensive). Only God know why an engineering graduate like me cannot differentiate between 0.05 and 0.5. #fistatwall Fine, be grateful there are only 16 coloured pages. What came up next as my horror nightmare was I printed those other pages in double-sided pages, that was around 50 pages of them. FML The report has to be single paged, yea it better be! Cause I reprinted all those 50 pages. Is alright, be grateful that I hadn't print the rest of the 70+ pages of appendix and the coloured pages didn't come out as double sided as well. Funny thing is the night before I did remind myself to print single sided, but all the computers in the libraries by default setting is double sided cause wanna save trees. End up I think I killed quarter of the tree for no purpose -.- Finally done all printings after a few trips to the printing room. So the last thing to send out this report is the binding. Being a smartass once again, I saw there is a card there stating binding per book is S$15. ?!!? Seriously how can binding with tat plastic ring be so expensive! But still I didn't ask for the price. Instead I asked auntie, "I want do binding, do you accept payment by NETS?" Auntie said NO! So okie by that time cause of the bloody coloured pages and those wrong pages I have printed I was only left with less than 10 bucks in my purse. Be hardworking, I went all the way down to the ATM machine to withdraw. Great, it is damn lot stairs x2 away just to withdraw some cash for the binding. After all, finally now with cash in pocket, printed papers on hand, can proceed with last step. "S$2.40". WHAT? Did I hear wrongly? Auntie collect S$2.40 for that. Dafuq! Sighhhh! Why didn't I check the price before walking out #likeaboss T_________T *slam head on wall*

So yea, that's how hard I struggled just to print that damn copy of final report. :((((

Which looks like this. Actually just A4 plain paper with words wtf.


See the thickness. :P Really must show. Cause you never know how much efforts I have put in T________T That kind of unspoken torturing moments I been through. HAHA!

I sort of quite amazed by myself though. :P Judge me the way you want.


Told mum finally I submitted report but I guess she cannot feel my excitement. Cause she only acknowledged with "Orh". -.-

OhOh also collected my poster from the office.


I am going to find a place to hang this lovely up somewhere at my future place or back to my house after presentation. ♥ Though the information is still confidential right now since the results are still pending to be published in journal. But never mind, no people will understand it anyway. :)

4 years. Finally.

Left with one paper and one presentation I am off my way. What way? I am not sure though.

Time flies at this very moment. Gotta enjoy studying for the last paper. Though I seriously hate these engineer ethics and history a lot! :(

Till then!
