F1

Was watching F1 the other day, looking at those cars speeding suddenly make me felt that to be in that position to drive is really not easy.

First of all, to qualified for F1, you must have tremendous concentration. Being able to have 100% of concentration in driving which lasts for hours is totally not normal for people like us. Concentration is the most important things in driving cause that makes the difference in outcome.

Taking the line is important, driving in a car which has a limit in steering is really not easy. You need to know when to break before a corner, then, turn into the corner at the right angle so you will manage to tackle that corner with that limited turning angle.

Being able to take the right line is not enough, you need to know when is the latest time you can step on your break in order to be the fastest. Late breaking makes a little bit of difference sometimes. When you know when to break, and when to turn, then you must also know when to let go the break and accelerate. Early acceleration would make you start "running" away from your opponent. Late breaking and early acceleration make a difference in time. F1 cars are so fast that they have to time it in mili-second to be accurate.

Besides breaking and accelerating and taking the right line, F1 driver should also be alert knowing how the car is behaving. To be able to do so, the driver needs to "combine" his owh body as a part of the car.

All these need real good concentration, to be able to do so in hours is really amazing.

Accelerating so fast and always break at the right point is something too hard to do unless you know the track as well as your vehicle well. Being able to slow down, turn in and do early acceleration all before you reach a corner is not somthing every one can do. Imagination must be accurate so that you can be the fastest among all.

Aah, wonder, whether I posses this kind of skill or not. But I am too fat to sit in an F1 car laa, so, forget about it. :)

Hmm, maybe japan GT is suitable for me. But I still think that rally driver is better cs they really really must know the angle of the corner then tackle it at full speed. I wonder how those co-driver assit the driver. Wish I could at least hear it once.

Ok laa, tomorrow afternoon have exam oh, good luck and all the best... nitez... :)

Exam, first 3 papers

First paper was Control Theory, well, has spend quite much time on that subject, so when looking at the questions, at least I know what the question is asking. But Seriously, I don't know whether I answered them correctly or not, question sound simple, but the marks given is high, so I am not sure whether to do it the long way or the simplified way. But its ok I think, hope won't fail for that subject, at least give me a B or B+ I would be happy, but if can give a an A- then better as I really really know how to do.

The second paper (engineering maths 4), my disaster, the questions all are straight forward, unlike in midterm, the final paper is way too easy that I was over confident and never recheck after I finish answering. :(
Cause of my laziness and over confidence, I lost 30marks out of 100. How sad, that worst case is when I was down, wanted to find somebody to talk to, that person said I am childish and start scolding me. Loosing 30marks in a day as well as loosing a friend in the very same day. A 6 years friendship, just because of prejudice and hatress, everything ends!!

Third paper, information theory, compare to pass years' papers, damn, it was easy, but also due to my lack of study, I lost 10marks, just a simple and tiny part of it I missed out and caused me those marks. But luckily the rest of the parts was done almost correctly. Hope this sem can pull up a little of my CGPA.

Hope the coming 2 papers can do well too...

All the best to my friends as well as myself... good luck!!!

Maybe I Should Have........

Maybe when sombody has given you a chance for the second, no, third time already, you should appreciate it without bringing all the complex "equations" in. Just accept and do whatever you think its right to do.

When you were told that there will never, never, and never be a third chance in your life time, but after a while, a third chance is given to you, you should appreciate it. Can have a person giving you so much chances and not giving up hating you, I guess this would be the best person that I should appreciate ba.

What should I do?? Third chance has gone, if I really want it, can I get a forth chance??

Maybe I should not think about forth chance as it too far for me to reach, way too far. :( Unreachable.

Well, final exam coming loo, leave this problem to be solve after final baa Yuen Hong ooi. :)

Wish myself lucksssssssss....

Final Exam...

Final exam starting on 18th May.

First paper 19th May: EPM2036 Control theory, 6 chapters, study chapter1, 2, 3, 4 & 6 (answer 4 questions)

Second Paper 20th May: EEM2046 Engineering Maths 4, 3 chapters, Have two sections, section A 3 questions, compulsory to answer all the question, each chapter a question, section B choose one question out of 3

Third Paper 22nd May: ETM2126 Information Theory & Error Coding, 5 chapters but the last two chapters combined and become one so there will be one and a half question each.

Forth Paper 26th May: LES1010 Technical Communication, not much to study, but need to know how to write technical report, press release, resume, cover letter and also XXX, I forgot what is the last one already Will spend as little time as possible to study it.

Firth, the last paper 30th May: ECP2056 Data Communication & Networking, 6 chapters, each chapter a question, planned not to study chapter 6 as it is really a lot, only will think about it after my third paper ba.


Five subjects to study, and I have not done any yet. So much to study and so little time to prepare. Although midterm studied but already forgot. Sometimes I wonder if I really am up to all these study thingy or not. Maybe I am not meant for it cause I really have a bad memory. I should be better in remembering everything I studied, but I can't, what a sad case. :(

Anyway, I hope can study really hard and pass all my papers with at least a B or B+, but if can go to A- or A then I would be happy. Just try your best and never regret, that's what I think. But sometimes, depending on your own ability, don't force yourself too much to remember more stuff where you will end up forgetting all others.

Do not give up a jungle because of a tree. All the best and good luck to myself!!!

I have never felt so down facing an exam before. Hope I can really study hard.

Yosh~~!!! I love you guys out there!!!
