Well I dont need a fortune teller to inform me that year 3 is busy. From the list of activites that I have stored at the back of my head, I can vaguely remb some impt ones like....

(1) ECE magazine's final stage
(2) Project PCB design and breadboarding
(3) revision for quizzes coming up
(4) microsoft flight simulator flying test
(5) ubin cycling trip for aerospace electronics society (whooo)
(6) probably peer tutoring on thurs from 5-6
(7) rockwell collins industrial visit trip near june

Yeah so that's some of the more important ones. There are also minute activities that I might not have recalled but they are just as significant as well. And not to mention my driving test coming up soon in about a few weeks times =)

So ystd was doing breadboarding and half-way to school at around HCI's stop, I realised I forgotten to bring my breadboard!! So I had to call mum to bring it down to school for me. Then while testing the breadboard, the lousy quality potentiometer had smoke coming out of the casing so I immd shut off the power supply. Tested again a few minutes later and I mangaed to make the motor turn as I like!! Well that's not a happy conclusion if you'd read on. So went to lunch at KAP and flight sim-ed from 1-3. Heard from marcus his board couldn't work after lunch so I went on to try mine too to see if there's anything wrong as well. Damn it! Mine could only turn from 1 end to the other but not vice versa!??!?! I was like damn shocked and after that marcus's board could work but mine cant! Damn pissed with the lousy quality stuffs we've been given. I cant believe that the circuit was perfectly fine in the morning and a few hours l8r the whole "equation" takes a turn for the worse. Now I've got the 3 days holiday to figure out what's wrong or is there just simply a loose contact point. =X ARGH!

And I've got to say, flight sim rocks!
