Hi guys!

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. I've been busy with school and stuff like that. Projects, Projects and more Projects! After I've completed one, another one comes! It's tough but fun, getting to know more people in NYP and also working with them is a great experience.

I'm telling you about projects but I didn't tell you what I actually did. Okay, here goes, I had a Communication Skills project where we had to do a skit on communication barriers, what breaks conversations down and act it out. It was fun, doing the most random thing you can do, impromptu style.

The next one was a Personal Development powerpoint presentation on a SMART Goal I intend to achieve, which I randomly chose. And then a presentation of a topic of your choice with a group, but hardcopy version. Fun times discussing!

Upcoming, a Conflict Management presentation with my classmates. We have to address the conflict and come up with solutions to solve it.

Next up, I had an Analog Electronics Project, it's a module actually. We have 3 projects in total, we're now at the 3rd one. The first one was just soldering wires onto a copper board to make your name, class and NYP on it. The second one was kind of difficult, I had a circuit, supposed to light up the Green LED when in bright light and White LED lights up in dark surroundings. Best experience ever! And I had to solder transistors, capacitors, resistors, switches, LEDs and all that cool stuff you can find on electronic gadgets. Once I completed everything, I tested it and none lighted up. And it was a short circuit at the power source input.... Tested it again, green LED lights up forever and white LED doesn't light up at all. Looked through the circuit for about a day and couldn't manage to find the problem. I handed it to my lecturer to keep it for me and come back the next day to figure it out. While I was troubleshooting, my classmate nudged into me and my hand had a sudden burnt feeling. Next thing you know, the transistor that was freaking hot was short circuited. I solved it just like that and wow, it's just amazing to get it working. It's like magic!

Next project for AE Project is a Portable Karaoke System, no designing of circuits, just putting in the components and make it work. Difficult though, because there are so much things to solder onto the board. Pair work! It's going to be a hectic semester, with projects and exams coming up soon. Sorry if I don't have time to spend with my friends, it's just freaking busy. I better head to bed soon....


Adios!
