while things eventually turns out to be the better (academically), it wasn't exactly a smooth process.
the A for my FYP din come as easy as people thought it would be. or at least, the A was as granted as people has taken it to be for me. i couldn't say the same for my system design project though. SDP was minimum effort.
i have to admit that the first sem in my last year was not that hectic. generating the simulation model was troublesome, but there was minimum stress during that period of time. things proceeded slowly, but steadily, although there were several repeated works because Automod 12 was not very steady, and i couldn't grasp what the PSA people really want. so, things gotta be redone, again and again.
come the second sem, those who were with me knew how difficult i had to convince myself to go on. and even on the final day of presentation itself to PSA, it was tough for me, simply because i knew what was going on.
but upon completing the presentation, i knew i was quite safe for the first class.
while i have felt that this project was a major cocked up, and believe me it is cos i knew. things cannot be too explicit here when i know a specific prof who goes around surfing for blogs, specifically female's blogs. but, i digress.
in the end, a cocked up project like that was given an A, and was submitted for Winter Simulation Conference for approval in participation, and then finally, was accepted to be published and be given an oral presentation in Washington D.C. in december.
whatever it is, i have gotten my A. i dun want to go Washington to present.
as for my life recently, i guess it has been good although there has been several hipcups along the way. gotten to know several truths, such as WSC approval, first class honours, not officially hired by IBM (yet, hopefully), and other issues. some are good news, some are bad news (i termed WSC approval as a bad news).
it is great to be stay ignorant of issues i believe, but i think it is much better to have them be told to me before i discover things myself. certain things changes, certain things stay put though. but with time, everything will turn for the better. just like how i eventually get my A for FYP when midway i was literally thinking itz gone.
trust, once broken, takes a long time to heal. thatz why, the PSA people never get to find out the big thing behind my simulation. otherwise, i wonder whether a year was long enough to convince them to give me my A for FYP. phew~~~
all in all, i am a first class honour student now. i can finally change my resume, from "Expected First Class Honour" to "First Class Honour". 4 years of hard work (err... actually the first 2.5 years was more like it...) has eventually paid off, and i've gotten what i set out to achieve in army before i enter NUS. nostalgic... and thatz the longest goal i have set out for myself and achieve it.
today (or rather yesterday since itz passed midnight) is my last official day in nus.
really, a lot of thoughts came to my mind. not today, but 1-2 weeks ago when i was more or less done with everything in nus except the sdp presentation.
it has really been a freaking long 4 years.... errr... long is not the right word. cos everything so freaking zoomed passed me.
fucking hell.
but then, come today, i think there are quite a lot of memories to be shared in nus. ise is really not that bad a place afterall.
many thoughts, but not much mental capacity to put them down here. all in all, once i step out, i think i will miss nus.
