This trimester is really special to me...
Because
1. First time doing my FYP
Finally I've done my algorithm for cleaning robot!! Phew....
Studied a lot of research papers
Put a lot of efforts although it is not a very advanced algorithm
Once a while I wondered did I choose the wrong FYP title?
Because it's really full of uncertainty
Because nobody knows what is the outcome for this project
I asked my supervisor several times
"Are you sure this project is feasible?"
"I don't know.... It may be succeed, it may be failed. So, let's experiment it."
This is what he answered.
It's just like a gamble
Our bets are time and effort
Some more his expectation is so high
The report keep changing when I had done some parts
Then he told me that last time when he studied in Osaka University
His professor changed his literature review till 13 times.
Until the 14th time, his prof just read his management summary and conclusion
Because no time already
LOL
Now he was doing the same thing like what his prof did to him
he printed my draft report and checked it line by line
and caught my grammar mistakes in every sentence
although he was so busy
I really appreciated it
After reading, reading, reading and thinking, thinking, thinking
At the end, a feasible algorithm is sought
And my dear helped me a lot in this project mentally and physically
mentally - she motivated me all the time when I'm almost gave up
physically - she helped me to draw many diagrams in the report
2. First time writing Computer Graphics program
I really dislike CG
because it's very troublesome to code using openGL
My fren said
Maybe the most difficult programming language to print out "hello world"
is using openGL
I agreed with that...
Some more I take CG and FYP together
This is really killing me
but luckily I survived
3. Learnt a lot from my supervisor
He taught me a lot of 人生道理 based on his experiences
And let me know what are the situations for current IT education in Malaysia
Money vs Knowledge
People easily get lost between them
4. First time presenting approximately 30 mins individually
Presentation for my FYP
haha
I'm damn nervous
Before the presentation starts
I went to toilet 4-5 times, but there's no pee pee or poo poo to come out
At first I thought not many ppl will come to see my presentation
Furthermore my moderator is The Dean of Faculty of Information Technology- Dr-Ho
my presentation starts at 3.45pm
But I waited till 4.10pm yet he still did not show up
Then when I was going to find him
My friend told me that he and my co-supervisor-Mr Bau is watching other group's presentation
They are supposed to come out 30 mins ago
But Dr.Ho and Mr Bau asked a lot of questions and shoot that group till now
Walao A
That is not a good sign
It makes me went to toilet another time
Till 4.15pm
Finally they showed up
Then I started my presentation
At first, I spoke like eat a lot of screws （吃螺丝）
Fortunately, when I saw the dean nods his head
means he understood what I was talking about
Then I became more and more confident
When I introduced my algorithms
they became more and more focused
and agreed with my algorithms
Once I finished, I received a big applause from them
Suddenly, I felt that all my efforts are worth it!
Dean said good presentation and the algorithms are well explained
Mr Bau also seems very excited
(My friend told me each time when he talk about algorithms
he will become very excited... LOL)
Mr Goh nods his head
Phew...
Luckily I've made it
The dean has not much comments
Just give some precious suggestions to let me improve my algorithms
He is very good in algorithms
So all his suggestions are totally new for me
and I never heard it before
In fact, Mr Bau and Mr Goh also never heard it before
So they also ask him some questions
That's it...
Now I have to prepare for my final exam
And see whether I can find a way to improve the algorithms
Prepare for implementation in next trimester
It will be a more challenging trimester than this trimester
I'm looking forward for my performance
Let's Fight!!!
