The Gal – Nicole

Last day of April.

It’s been an eventful month. Projects and Examinations, for the last round that is… barring exceptions.

It’s also the month where I marked my annual anniversary of blogging… and every year marks a new chapter of blogging. It’s quite nostalgic to read my archives and wonder how and why I wrote all that. It serves as a good read, the memories, and for some people, gadget reviews provided them help and opinions as well.

I shall decline to identify a reader whom stumbled to my HP Mini review via Google, and she emailed me asking for help on a relatively simple function that left her baffled. I am quite glad she emailed me for help, and within a few minutes of reply, she got it. *Brings a smile to me* And another, whom asked for opinions of NTU Computer Science course.

Its great to receive such emails, and that’s a first for me

I shall end this post on a good note, and that 4 months of 2009 is over. 1/3 of the year has just flown by!

I know I should be sleeping, but I can’t seem to fall asleep that easily. Maybe it’s because the exams have truly ended, and barring any horrible outcome, this is it, the final round of examinations I would sit as a student.

All that is left now is my FYP. Yes, that’s the only thing that is keeping me on my toes.

If you see this, do leave me a comment. It means a lot for me to know that I am not alone, and that I am trudging down the final mile with your support and encouragement.

All the tears I cried, the frustrations, it better be worth all my hard work and effort.

This is one of the days where I crave for a nice cheese melted ham sandwich from Starbucks, which I was having it as part of my dinner on some days not long ago…

What’s your craving?

Nicole

Dates to note: 5th May, 18th May and 22nd May.

5th May being my FYP Oral Presentation, 18th May where I start work. 22nd May is where my results are supposedly released.

Scary.

To be honest, I am scared, and worried. But I will still do my best. I pray all will be well.

By the time this post is out, my exams are all over! (I hope I will pass all the modules).

Now its time to rush for the last of my project.

It’s a terrible Sunday this far. I meant the weather. Woke up at 8 plus am, and feeling so horribly warm, sticky and agitated. A quick wash up and sitting by the fan cooled me down somewhat.

After a quick breakfast and newspaper reading, here I am back at my laptop again, this time gonna start work early. Now I do hope that luck is on my side.

Just stopping by here for a quick update. Final exam will be over in 2 days.

Yup, today marks the 4th year of blogging for me

On this very day 4 years ago in 2005 was my maiden post, and since then I never looked back. It has been an awesome time ever since I started this blog, and I still am anticipating for more things to come along.

Cheers!

Its just one of the days where you wish you can have more sleep, but you can’t because of pressing matters. I gotta push on. 2 weeks more. Well, less than 2 weeks.

I will do a post on CodeIgniter (CI) Framework, on how it has helped me to build my project in less than 2 weeks. But I still trying to figure Python in it, so yeah.

Let’s pray I pass FYP.

Sneaking in a small update here.

Guess I am getting a hang of programming and coding once again, that shows how long I really have not been coding. Strangely, I am loving it.

I “love” the frustrations that I get when I debug the errors. I love the end product when I see it on the page when it works. I love discovering new things as I go about coding.

It won’t be an easy journey still. But I guess I must not give up now. Never!

Now all I need is miracles, sheer hard work, and the courage to push through this barrier before me. I want this badly. And even if I have to burn my sleep, I must finish it.

I already know it’s impossible for me to finish this project, but I will do as much as I can.

PS: I do appreciate all the encouragement messages, thanks guys

But it feels too real to be a dream. The sights, the sounds. All in a dream. I woke up halfway with cold sweat, and went back to sleep again.

Kinda scary to find familiar people in it, and familiar objects. Kinda deja vu? I don’t know. All I know that the characters vary and often the ending is the same – me ending up on the hospital bed fighting for my life. Sometimes I can identify the person in my dream.

It always some how involves car accidents, ambulances and hospitals. (Telling me not to learn driving isit?)

I know it sounds morbid, but sometimes I just can’t shake that feeling off…

Is it telling me to live my life like if it’s my last? :X I don’t know.

I know it’s not the last time this dream will occur again.
