A long wait...

Finally got the time to step into the Ubi Driving Center just now to register and booked the Basic Theory Test which would be held on 5 September 2008 (Friday) in the morning 9.15am. By that time, it would be my long holidays and finished all the major exams.

Play Gameboy Advance Games On PSP !!

Yeah ! I am able to play GBA games on PSP. Woot ! I can say that some of the GBA games are even more fun than PSP games !! However one of the game i encountered was Kingdom Hearts where I could not play cos it always stuck at a movie and will not carry on. Sian...

MST is over, Final is next !

MST is finally over, but still got to get rid of the holiday mood, as preparation for the final term exams is a must now in order to achieve good results. Still have two outstanding projects to be done.

DBS iBanking

Wow, I had just applied for this ibanking device on 25 June 2008 and I didn't even imagine that I would receive it today. Thanks DBS for the efficient service. Now I'm able to access to my bank transaction instead of the hassle in bringing my bank book to the ATM machine to print out. Discovered many more wonderful services that DBS is offering. They can do fixed deposit online, bank funds transfer, etc.

27/6/08 MST: Mathematics IA

It was a day of stress. Why is it so? All thanks to my stupid classmates for talking rubbish and spolit my mood, instead of revising. However, managed to make it through the test. I did not have time to actually finish the whole paper. I had already lost 30 marks of out 100 in this paper. I'm already bad in mathematics, so I think i will fail the paper.

Looking For A Budget Sling Bag !!

I'm currently looking for a budget sling bag, however I want it to be branded and look good. Not like those Converse or Adidas kinda bag. Wanted a unique one. Crumpler is not in my list, cos of the price tag. Was deciding about the Zinc bag, cos two of my friends in my class owns them, and I find it quite okay looking. Mmmm....

26/06/08 MST: Networking Essentials

Damn ! Today's performance sux ! I didn't do well as expected. I did a lot of careless mistakes and deserved to be scolded by my friends. Sigh ! I had a clear mind when I started doing it. But I did not really analysis the questions properly and went to select my choices. I'm definitely not going to give up from here. I will swear that I will be more careful and more alert during lessons to get my A for this whole semester. No more slacking for Networking and no more over-confident. I'm not going to let chances slip through ever again !!!

Networking Notes

I would like to specially thank my friend, Jerry for helping to do the notes for the whole class ! Its well written after reading through. Thanks and keep up the good work ! :-)

25/06/08 MST: Fundamental Electronics

Today's Test I can say is not too easy and not too difficult. However, I don't think I will be getting good mark for this module. I will just pass the paper around the border line. After all, I hate electronics and want to get it over with. Looking forward for my coming networking and Maths paper..

Dallas Chicken & Ribs

It had been a hot topic at HardwareZone, furthermore there is no official Dallas webby so I might as well post it here. This Dallas Chicken & Ribs is actually a fast-food chain from England and its the first store opened in Singapore about 1.5 months ago. There is also a buffet that lasts from 3pm - 6pm daily, which costs for $8 per person. Those who wanna go eat with me, can ask me along. Its definitely a budget place and it serves great food, especially for Chicken lovers !!Haha !

Interesting USB Products

Sian.. Someone had already start up a USB business just this year in Singapore. My rough idea was to find some USB products that is interesting to sell. Their USB products are not bad and its very interesting indeed. I like the USB Mini Aquarium With Light and USB Mini Q Fridge.

23/06/08 MST: Java Programming

Wah liao ! Today's Java Programming let me learn a lesson again.. Read questions properly !!! I did it correctly, but instead of a System.out.println, I code it as JOptionPane.showInputDialog. Sigh, a great mistake and cost me a few precious marks. Also can't do question 3. Anyway, one down and three more to go ! Feeling more worried about the last boss on the last day.

Something To relax before MST...

Basic Java Programming 1

I will just put in something that I revise through today. The question is to programme a application to calculate the area of a Trapezoid. The given formula as follows:
Area of Trapezoid= 1/2 x (breadth1+breadth2) x height

The format as follows:

------ Start of Coding ------
package practice ; // practice is the project name
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; //to import the JOptionPane template
public class TrapezoidProgram { //represents the class name called TrapezoidProgram
public static void main(String args[]) { // main method. Its a standard format.

String s1 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input b1"); //create a storage(s1) for b1
String s2 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input b2"); //create a storage(s2) for b2
String s3 = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Input h"); //create a storage(s3) for b3

int b1 = Integer.parseInt(s1); // to declare b1 as an integer for storage1
int b2 = Integer.parseInt(s2); // to declare b2 as an integer for storage2
double h = Double.parseDouble(s3); // to declare h as a double for storage3

double trapezoidArea = (0.5) * (b1 + b2) * h; // Output of Area as double value
System.out.print("b1\t:"+b1+"\nb2\t:"+b2+"\nh\t:"+h+"\nArea\t:"+trapezoidArea); // Prints out the output

}

}
------End Of Coding ------

The output of this coding will be exactly like this:

b1 : 5
b2 : 7
h : 3.0
Area: 18.0

Additional Info:
Integer = Single number, e.g. 3, 10, 256, etc
Double = Single number with decimal places, e.g. 1.0, 14.5, 138.7, etc

Basic Networking Tips 1

The following is the definition that all of us must remember, not only the layer name, but also the data unit and functions.

Below is the way to help people remember it easier:

My Black PSP Slim Since 25 April 2008

My first reason of buying PSP is due to peer pressure by my friends in poly. Haha, just kidding. Had been wanting to get this because of gaming, and mostly importantly, there are several other uses as well, such as able to watch movies on the big screen(mobile), listening music as a mp3 player, store pictures to view and surfing the internet.

My N95 8GB Since 5 January 2008

My reasons for getting this handphone:

- 8GB Memory

- 5 Megapixels Camera

- Big Size Display which is 2.8 inch. ( Biggest in terms as a smartphone.)

- 3.5mm Jack Input

- Great Symbian OS which is user-friendly.

Back To Blogging once again...

It had been a long time since I last blogged. I had already officially ORDed and studying at SP now. It was a peaceful class where everyone seems normal and younger than me. So many updating to be made, but kind of lazy. Now is the Euro season, and I had just lost my bets on Portugal Vs Germany. Sigh, nothing to comment about them. Portugal Sux !!
