End of HK ICT

The 1st High-Key ICT (2nd Overall ICT)
For the past 2 weeks, I've been taking this ICT as a break from my intern. The second week of the ICT is more tiring than the first week though. Anyway, for the last week, we went through a 6km route march (with SBO and Signal Set), a mini (but kind of disastrous) outfield, and some stores and logistics to get ready for out-process. Didn't really sleep as much for that last week though, which is not really good for me since I won't be sleeping much for the remaining 5 weeks of internship (and also the next 13 academic weeks in NUS)...

Well, ICT is over, which means my so-called "Green Vacation" is over, so I have to continue doing C++ programming for my internship (in which I face very severe problems with coming up with the programs), and 1 more report for the internship (which I don't know what to write to fill up at least 15 pages of the main content). Haix... Maybe I should have taken graded modules instead of internship as my Unrestricted Elective Modules...

The Greens (A Break from Intern)

The Greens: Good or Bad?
Ok, gone back for the annual in-camp training (ICT) again, and another 1 more week to go. Well, this time we have to go outfield, which can be kind of "sian"... Well, never mind, 2 days outside to feed the mosquitoes (and other bloodsucking insects). Back to cookhouse food again (which is sometimes good and sometimes bad), bt at least I don't have to spend too much money on breakfast, lunch and dinner outside (especially if none of my family members who knows how to cook are free to do so).

Hmm... Just taken my IPPT yesterday. Think there's something wrong with the 2.4km running station (luckily I didn't face that problem). Probably the sensor are getting old that it's kind of like Hong Joo's EE2001 group project (sometimes working, sometimes not working).

Anyway, after 1 year of not touching the signal stuffs, I've kind of forgotten how to operate them. Of course, the signals I'm refering to is the SAF Signals, not the NUS EE2009 Signals, one of the disgusting module I've taken (even though they are a bit related). Haha, hopefully I don't lay the lines wrongly when going outfield this coming week...

Anyway, the good thing about this ICT is that I get to have a break from my intern. Yup, haven't been sleeping for the first 5 weeks of my intern, so this ICT is a very good time to catch up with my sleep. =P Ok, maybe I should have taken graded modules instead of getting a vacation internship. I realised that the ICT pays better than my internship ($620/mth for NS ICT compared to $550/mth for internship). >_< Oh well, I've made the right choice by applying leave from my company to go for ICT (else I'll have less money this month, and I'll face a lot of administrative problems with defering, and it is not good to defer for High Key ICT).

Haix... Still have 5 more working weeks to go + one 15-20 pages report to write after my ICT. Now, who wants to take over my intern position?

I'm Surprised...

Results Out...
Well, it's out 2 days ago. I'm surprised with my EE2012 results. Managed to get a B+, which is surprisingly good (in my standard). Still remember getting only 29/100 for my 2nd test, which is considered as one of the bottom 5-10% of the cohort. It seems that people are doing quite badly for the exams. Well, moral of the story, the 20% test doesn't affect much about the final grades...

Ok, now that I've passed CS2103, EE2007, EE2012, FNA1002X and GEK1505, I can start packing and tidy up all my lecture notes and textbook.

For next semester, I'll be taking EE3204 (Computer Communication Networks I) and EE3207 (Computer Architecture) as my core modules. If timetable permits, I'll take EE2001 (Project), if not I might consider EE3001 (Project). The (tentative) Technical Elective I might be taking is EE3206 (Introduction to Computer Vision and Image Processing). If they permits, I might be taking HR2002 (Understanding Human Relations in the New Economy), otherwise I'll take up another Technical Elective.

PS. I don't like my current job... =(
