A couple of weeks back, my Linksys wireless router went dead. The lights were not blinking, and my computer couldn’t detect it. It was funny though. It was not raining, and neither were there lightning. It was broad daylight. The funniest thing was that the router and modem were connected to the same power bar, but only my router shorted out. The modem was still happily blinking [or not, as the router was disconnected already] away. I was very sad because when I bought the router, I had planned it to be a long term purchase .. because it’s so handy and convenient. Wireless and all.
Ever since then, I’ve had to camp outside at the hall on the dining table to go online, connected to the modem via ethernet cable. Gah, the inconveniences! Being outside meant I couldn’t surf comfortably in my own room, have that privacy that I am used to, and worst of all, there were ants crawling over my laptop! Ants are the worst.
Thankfully, after plugging in the adapter which has an adjustable voltage rating that I bought yesterday for my project, I found that it wasn’t my router that was fried. It was just the adapter. Imagine the joy it brought to my heart. I was so happy to see the lights blinking again. Praise God.
I’m gonna go buy an adapter later today. And keep my adjustable voltage adapter for my project. Ehehe.
Speaking of fried electronics, I’ve got this fear that is gripping me. I’m working on an electronics project, and it requires a power source. With the RM270 RFID module shown above … I’m afraid that if ever I make a mistake of connecting it wrongly, it’ll fry that small module! Sigh.
I know some people back in Penang have been praying for me. Thank you very much. I’m beginning to see little little breakthroughs in my project, and I’m convinced of the power of your prayers. Thanks again! You know who you are!

Past 3 days have been tiring. Somehow, when you’re being drained mentally and emotionally, it affects your physical body. First of all, have been caught up with my group project work. Inevitably, group work always requires a lot of you, when the dateline is near. As much as I would have wanted to prevent it, I can’t because I can’t control my group mates. I thank God though, that they haven’t been a hard bunch to work with. I haven’t been able to lead well, in this group but thank God for His grace. Though my brains shine through, in times of need… but yeah.. like I’ve mentioned earlier… it really taxes you. Sleeping late, bad eating habits, having to deal with personal issues, working hard round the clock the whole day, does leave you with quite a bit of fatigue and eats you up.
Well, I still thank God for His presence. In times like these, I praise God for His faithfulness… because in my busyness, I remember that God is there for me.
Thank You Lord.

PS: Will be done by tomorrow, 3:30pm. Can’t wait till then.
Ah, finished my midterm exam. The paper was alright. Aiming for… 16/20. Haha. God willing. Only one, cause I only have 1 subject this semester, apart from the group project that I am leading. Sigh. That’s a bigger worry!
Anyhow, thanks… all those who were praying.

Ah, I don’t know about you, but I’m enjoying every single bit of the rain. Just peeked out the window and noticed that the rain has changed it’s direction. Well, the wind that’s blowing the rain.. that is. Earlier, it was falling from left to right, but now it’s right to left. Whatever direction it is, I’m lovin’ it.
David[woohoo!]
PS: I’m waiting for class. It starts in another 45 minutes.
Ah.. my first hectic day of the year! I think it’s worth a mention, as it would be the beginning of more hectic days ahead!
CF
Today was the first CF meeting, held at Room113, 1st Floor Block C, UCSI. Praise God, everything went well. Quite unexpectedly, I would say. Not that I was faithless, but I didn’t expect it to go so well ler. Anyhow, there were a lot of unfamilliar faces… which is a good sign. Time to really get to know the members. Met a fellow Penangite today. It’s nice to be able to have people around you that knows your territory like you do. Shared with a few of the newer people about my experience of the mini-earthquake. Some people made jokes about the tsunami, in which… isn’t funny.
EPD - Electronic Product Development
My groupmates and I met with our supervisor today, and we were given a stern warning about our progress in the project. If we don’t get down to working, we ain’t gonna make it man! Like I said, today’s the sign of more hectic days ahead.
David[woohoo!]
PS: Anyone else having hectic days? I know one who is, and one who isn’t!
