It was just like a few weeks ago when I first set these, and now 2010’s already history. Though I didn’t managed to achieve most of them, it was still a great year.

3. Robocon 2010

4. Asian Youth Fellowship 2010

2 years ago, I wanted to win the Robocon 2009 domestic game so badly in order to represent Malaysia to compete in the international game, which was held in Tokyo, Japan. Unfortunately, we’re disqualified. And I’m not sure whether was it fate or what that I once again have the chance to step into this dream country. Different objectives, but same destination. Well, maybe we just have to learn that in life when thing did not turned out as we planned, it might not be a failure, but instead it’s just incorrect timing.

First step in Japan

AYF-15th, the last batch…

Nevertheless, it was also a year full of uncertainties, a changing point where I have to make decisions. Many things came in surprisingly when I was yet ready to face them. I gotta say I’ve spent too many years in education that doesn’t help me much when it comes to making decisions for myself. Coming to Japan was the right choice, but at the same time a bad choice. It gave me more options to choose for myself, but at the same time complicated my thinking. Instead of getting more focus, I’m being diversified.

So this year, I won’t be setting any resolution for myself. Just trying to focus on my entrance exam which will be in this coming February. For the others, well… let’s only think about them when the time is right…

Happy New Year to everyone !!!

Time flies, and once again Robocon 2010 is here! This year, Malaysia Robocon domestic competition will be held at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia from 22nd to 27th June 2010. The theme is “Robo-Pharaohs Build Pyramids“, in conjunction with the myth and history of the international game hosting country, Egypt.

For those of you who have no idea what’s Robocon, it’s an annual robotic competition where teams from different institutes of higher learning construct robots to complete certain tasks, and the team who manage to complete the tasks in the shortest time and scores the highest point wins the game.

This year, there will be 55 teams competing in Malaysia Domestic Game. The champion team will be representing Malaysia to the international game at Egypt.

Robocon 2006 Theme Song – With the Best of Them All

Some dreams are meant for dreaming

But mine was meant for more

There’s something about this feeling

That I’ve never felt before

It speaks to me of greatness

By the champions of Man

Then quietly it whispers

Saying I am one of them

So I will give my all

And I will reach the end

If you should see me fall

Be assured I’ll rise again

For I am not alone

On this weathered road to glory

So when you tell my story

Say that I stood tall

With the best of them all

I understand their passion

I recognize their name

It seems our revelation

Are one and the same

Then it dawns upon me

This is what it’s all about

May the best of us be greater

May the rest of us be proud

So I will give my all

And I will reach the end

If you should see me fall

Be assured I’ll rise again

For I am not alone

On this weathered road to glory

So when you tell my story

Say that I stood tall

With the best of them all

This will be my story

That I stood in glory

This will be my story

That I stood in glory

I will stand tall

With the best of them all…

If you should see me fall, be assured I’ll rise again!!!

Just wanna wish my juniors ALL THE VERY BEST in this year’s competition !!! May the best team win…

Nothing much to update lately, guess life at home is just not as happening as uni’s.

Just wanna ask you guys, do I look like a soft person…? (nah, not those gay type la…)

The reason I’m asking this is because I’ve been having problem with maids lately:

1) Back to grandma’s house, and the maid kept complaining things to me.

2) Went to uncle’s house, same thing happened.

3) This morning my ex-neighbor, who’s also working as a part time maid, also did the same thing.

I mean, if they have problem, shouldn’t it be more appropriate to confront the source of problem, instead of getting me into their problem? Am I some sort of “cushion”?

I do respect every single person around me, no matter what status they’re having, but does that mean that they can just manipulate me for their own advantage?

Well, I guess I’m just not the type who can hire maid to work for me in future… haha.

Nothing much to update lately, just came back UTM to settle some stuffs to postpone my convo and ended up without solution.

Wanna find lecturer for recommendation letter but he’s not around.

Went Singapore with the team members and have a look with the company I previously applied. To my surprise, the office’s SO BIG that it can hardly stuck 10 person inside.

Celebrated course mate’s birthday, someone’s getting old…

Yet getting blur… =P

Finally completed my long-delayed modified power supply. Soldered 2 pieces of 32-bits PIC Microcontroller…

And got myself a new PIC Programmer.

Will be bored to dead without these few gadgets with me for the coming 2-month holiday at home.

Have been sleeping in lab for few days and my back started to ache. Miss my sleeping bed.

Today, I’m going back home…
