My radio alarm went off around 9 A.M. this morning.
I was just lying in bed, staring at the ceiling when I realized dam... half the year has just gone by.
I still remembered time went by really really slow when I was young.
Tuition and face-the-wall punishments from my parents were utter torture to me.
Time seem to have stood still during those days. Minutes were like hours.
But now, somehow things are like in FF(Fast Forward) Mode. The crappy part about life is that there isn't any Rewind, Pause button. It's just record, play and/or (for some) FF.
=/
Anyway, today was the first time my suburb (Mount Waverley aka the best place in Melbourne [in your face Inner City dwellers]) =D had loads of mist. Signs of winter are all around now. =O
But lucky me, I'll be heading back to K.K. where power failures and moist heat will be affecting me instead of the cold.

I dragged myself up to Uni to attend some tuts and lectures. Guess what greeted me?
Classes and lectures of Melbourne's top six Unis were called off. Why?
Apparently there is a 24 Hours strike in front of the state library where Uni staff demand higher pay for their job. I can imagine old Profs and Uni janitors holding their banners and marching around this cold, cold weather we have today.

I was struggling with Electrical Analysis unit the past week. I wondered why did I want to take it up. Yesterday we had our last electrical project which we have to design, compute and make a electrical thermometer.
After completing the nifty gadget, I realized why I fell in love with electrical and electronics. The satisfaction I get from making a device that worked and was made from scratch was overwhelming and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.
=)
I made two. The blue PCB(Printed Circuit Board) therm is to monitor the temperature outside my house while the green PCB therm is to monitor my room's temp.
Temp ranges from -4 to 44 Celsius
The temp is in an interval of 4C. Temperature that are in between are rounded up to the nearest digit.
Blue and green PCB
Outside Temp - 16C
Room Temp - 20C
The blue PCB which has wires going outside of my room to measure the temp.
I love what I do.
Hope you guys are feeling the same with your course.
=D
Cheers and have a great week you all!
