Life in college, recently....

Firstly I would say that I got my new Handphone at the right time and it serves me at the right moment. It has good camera and it allows me to capture nice moments.

Assignment 2 was up. We are suppose to design a relaxation oscillator but it is seriously not relaxing to design one. Thankful to our lecturer, he gave us a hint to kick start our assignment or else really hard. NOTE : its just a hint, so still got a lot of work to do.

Tested our circuit with various components, various values of resistor values, various capacitors combined to make a desired capacitance value.

Combination of many 100nF just to make a 0.01uF capacitor

Trial and error on the breadboard

Think till everybody got sesat and start burning things.

Introducing stressful Joel Lim

Crazy Marcus Lim who smiles in his sleep

All thanks to Hui Mei or else we will be more stress and growing crazier. Method of releasing stress : Went out dinner on Earth Day. Eat seafood in Relau there. Shock a few people there also. =D

Ate 5 plates of rice. The other 2 are Marcus and Wen Ping

Main competitor, Alan Looi. This guy is crazy, he does not only eat a lot, he eats fast. I got scard sitting next to him seeing him finishing 1 plate of rice after another. SCARY. He ate six plates or rice just to satisfy himself and proving to me he can eat more compared to me. =.=

This is his. Solid his, no additional plates frm others like mine.

Oh, BTW Mr Teh was having a tight budget for the month of March. He has to eat white rice for a few times. Even for this meal, he still eat white rice. Well, there is a girl who pitty him decided to "spice " his meal up. And she really did it.

His rice was spice up with green chilli.

Mr Teh accept the challenge to eat it all


But he gave up.

OK back to business. Back to assignment 2. I would say I sleep quite well enough compared to assignment 1 where i overnight in college to soldered my circuit. This time i do it at home myself. Got all my own instruments construct and troubleshoot at home myself.

My solder iron and solder stand

After planning my circuit, arrange my circuit, soldered my circuit, cut the unwanted wires, look for any errors in my circuit. Tadaaaa.... it looks like this.

My relaxation oscillator

and my Soldering

Went for circuit assessing and got 24/25. YAY so happy. BTW, my circuit is a tank. Drop twice and it can still be used. =D

Story does not end here, still got long report on this circuit, spend 1 whole sleepless night finishing it, and again my hp camera had serve me well, it took all the pictures of my results and this time I dun have to wait for pictures anymore.

Phew... finally all assignments are over. Left the main hurdle, the final exam. After jumping through this hurdle, than end of sem 4.
