So many things have passed since I last stop blogging. Well, guess I do not have any motivation to blog at the moment except at occasional times when I need to rant. :) Anyway, quite a lot of happy stuffs happened since the past few weeks.
Happy stuffs include good results in NUS 3rd invitational tournament where I got champion. Link for news regarding that tournament : HERE. Next, I got 3rd placing in Perak Closed, behind the Fong brothers which results in me, having RM200 extra.
And next up would be news about Industrial Attachment where I would be attached to Institute High Performance Computing (IHPC). Link for my company could be found HERE. Project is titled, "Molecular dynamics study of Nanocluster evolution: An insight into the atomistic ballet at small length and time scales." Sounds interesting though I do not know how to relate that with C programming.
Since I need to have a bit of background for C programming, my short holidays this few weeks is to learn that new language. I would say it's not difficult to understand, but since I did not practice but only read, I am not sure whether I actually know how to design a program when I am tasked in future. Hopefully I would be competent enough to be able to accomplish whatever my supervisor asked. However, I am glad that I got this choice considering I may not be interested to do research in future. Well, see where God leads.
And lastly, my results. Well, slightly improved in terms of CGPA (0.07), decreased slightly (0.03) in terms of GPA for this semester thanks to all my coursemates being so competitive. I thought I already did extremely well in my strong subjects like signals and controls but alas, failed to get an A for that. At least, one A+ for computational methods (expected) ---> So, I assume that would justify why I am in IHPC since I actually scored well in those kind of subjects. Lol.
Well, sad thing is, it's impossible to get second upper by the time I graduate. Regardless of what I do (unless I really screwed up badly by failing all modules in year 4 which would not happen), I would end up a second lower. It doesn't matter whether it's a high or low second lower cause in the end, the degree would still be second lower.
Seriously, why do I screw up my year 1? Just doesn't make sense that if you screw up one year, then your CGPA is already pre-determined. Well, at least I know now that your final results (by the time you graduate) would always be based on your first year. Yes, it may improve, but it can only improve to a certain extent, not enough to another level unless u get 5.0 for some semesters, which is totally ridiculous.
That's the short post for now. At least I wouldn't be so pressured now in my year 4, since even if I work extremely hard, I would only get a high second lower. However, I would still study as usual, just not the usual amount of hard work that I would put in since my degree is already fixed. Just wondered whether I could get a job with a second lower degree. *shrug*
Till then, I am signing off.
