PLC lecture was cancel today, coz lecturer had to go down to KL for some emergency thingy. Did some revision on software engineering, then rest, lepak here & dere as usual. BBQ at night for the final year diploma students. More like a farewell party for us fire bridged who have been together in this club for the past 3 years. Food, drinks and chats with my fellow mates and back to work later around 11.30pm.

Bina Tatanegara (BTN)

At last, BTN is here! So what is BTN? It is a compulsory programme for all local university students. In UniMAP, it is called 7 pillars (Degree) and 3 pillars (Diploma). Missed this programme = Can't graduate! So, us 2nd intake of diploma students from UniMAP have been waiting for this BTN for the past 4 semesters! Imagine how long it took them to plan this whole thing up. 2 years!? The best part is that BTN is only 1 DAY!!! Gila @@!! All the first intakes have to undergo this BTN program for 3 days 2 nights. Yaya, games n speeches but I rather not haha. Not in the mood for all these fun stuff for now. 3 speeches which is basically like a freaking brainwashing talks. They discussed mainly about politics and economy. Ahh ISA ISA!!!

Exhaustion

Woke up early this morning, coz I had to meet my supervisor at 10am. Decided to leave early cause there is lots to do today. From calibrating the Altera UP3 board clock frequency to deciding the proper electronic components for my infrared sensor module. At least there's a lil progress today. 2 tests next week, which is Micro.c II and Software Engineering. Looks like I've really gotta get out of my comfort zone! Took a nap from 5pm-7pm. 100% kong lol.

Reluctant to help ppl out has become one of my major probs I've notice lately. So, looks like I'm gonna be a YES man next week :D

UniMAP Accreditation Status

Attended a siri dialog bersama Timbalan Naib Canselor at Dewan Kapitol yesterday. Each school sent 2 representatives to that talk, so they could spread the news to the rest. Yee Ann and I represented PPK Komputer & Perhubungan (Diploma). I shall summarize it so that everyone gets a clear point about our accreditation status for both diploma and degree programs.

Degree Programs:
*5 years of accreditation from EAC and MQA.

Bachelor of Engineering (HONS)
- Computer Engineering
- Microelectronic

As for the other 8 degree programs, you don't have to worry about your so called "Not recognized" degree. The main fact is that EAC has not process and submit the final results to UniMAP. Other local universities suffer the same as well. Go do some study abt it when you're free. Therefore, MQA has no choice but to wait for a "Green Light" from EAC in order to give that accreditation status to those 8 programs. Timbalan Naib Canselor and the other people working under it are pushing EAC like crazy, so be patient alright :)


Diploma Programs:
All 6 diploma programs are fully accredited by MQA for life. No problems for furthering your studies/working. So, support UniMAP Diploma Programs, especially Computer Engineering...coz we're one of the best diploma programs with Micro.e in UniMAP.

Mid-Autumn Festival

Moon cake festival is here! Yeah yeah, but it's like not happening anymore compared to last time. Still remember those days where you bug your parents to get your favorite lantern at Pasar Malam? Hmmp, somehow I miss those days...mah childhood days. Goodness, it's been years since I touch those lanterns. Now it's just the paper lanterns that we "teens" play with. It was raining in the evening, so the place is like pretty wet. Tak best, coz kenot burn stuff. As for me, I'll go round picking up dried leaves & branches...put them all 2gether and burn lol. Worst, I'll find millipede and burn them woohoo. Hangus. Haha, I know I sounded damn evil. But that was like...3-4 years ago? Anyways, lepak with some friends from the BioMedic faculty and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Moon Cake Festival. :)

1 1/2 more months

Well, looks like I'm coming close to my goals already. Just 1 1/2 more months and I'm done for my diploma in Computer Engineering. One fact: Computer Engineering /= IT wherelse Computer Science is. Many companies thinks that us computer engineers are like IT, and that is the reason for them to reject our application as interns. We deal with Electronics, Hardware, Development of Real-time applications and etc. Not just designing a software from a software (frameworks). Or to put in this way, software-based.

I have loads to do this October. Omg, gonna be a real hectic + tiring + stressful month for me. But hey, I'll be giving my best shot for this final semester man. Hopefully, all my efforts pay off...which is...out from UniMAP. Staying so far away, distance...has been an issue for me. Shall not make that as a barrier anymore... So what I've been doing lately? Lazing around the hostel, going for classes, doing assignments and paying my sleeping debts off. Have not been exercising lately + losing weight. Gosh, I think I need Appeton weight gain! X.X
