Finally

Finally, I completed my FYP.

FYP is Final Year Project, a term that widely used in MMU, but most local university prefer the term, thesis.

And I believe, most people hate it. (right?)

This project had been started since last year November 2009, duration until April 2010, about 7 months of planning and implementation, which I learned A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT x 10000.

Project successfully implemented on time, with most expected features. When I submitted it just now, a sudden feeling of emptiness in my mind. Not because I had nothing to do anymore, but this project already took about 85% of my brain capacity, and I need time to get balance.

Computer was my best friend, my primary language become C#, sometimes woke up at 8am with the whole brain full of codes and algorithm, ish.

I can’t remember the last time what movie I watched… I can’t remember when is the last time I walk in a mall… I can’t remember when I got haircut, I can’t remember when I back hometown…

(actually I do remember, just the time is too long~)

This project, makes me realized that everyone has weakness. I have my weakness, you have your weakness, and I shall not assume everyone has the skill that I have.

To my FYP partner leekian, sorry for some quarrel during this project, I learned my lessons, and thanks for your all kind of support, directly or indirectly, you do did a great job. I did promise will score A for this project, and I can see we really tried our best, thank you to make this project complete on time, the rest is up to the moderator and supervisor. Thanks again to be my partner.

So, FYP completion present came early. I bought a new Seba iGoR skates for myself, and train hard to get to Korea for my first big competition~ (hopefully)

Congratulation to everyone who completed the FYP on time (and myself). I need to slowly get back my life!

A Noob's Historical Moment.

Today, I sitting in front you,

the time is 11:13 am,

25th June, 2008,

A historical moment has happened;

This may not be a success,

but a brave start is half of it.

 

We may not be the one,

that people will remember forever;

But it's a moment,

where mark the starting point;

And say Hello to the World.

 

 

 

OK, enough crap, I just want to say I just done my VERY first Java compilation, "Hello World!"~ Cold! Very noob!

(For readers who don't know, here Java is a programming language, not the island at Indonesia)

sh...it, baby talk Java now. (comic from http://blaugh.com )

IT Salary has the sharpest increment this year!

According to Kelly Service Annual National Salary Survey, Information Technology sector and oil and gas sector are having the sharpest increment in salary, which their base salary increase by 30%**(from The Star Daily), and also introduced A LOT of new job title in IT sector.

Do this prove that my previous "joking theory" about increased oil price will kill IT employee is totally wrong? Maybe, haha.

It's good to see this result, as the employment is also increasing. It shows that IT sector in Malaysia is not going opposite direction, but is growing, rapidly.

The funny thing is, IT students are so little... And maybe demand and supply theory, not enough graduates to support the industry, so the salary increase to attract more people in IT....?

Many people choose IT at the beginning not because they want it, I believe half of it is because of their SPM result is not sufficient to take engineering or other courses, so they just choose IT blindly.

But wise say: "Without interest, it's very difficult to success".

Work hard for it, high salary == high pressure.

Software Engineering

What make me choose Software Engineering?

My dad want me to study medic, which is not my profession, so I never consider it. Thanks to my dad who respect my decision.

So I choose Engineering. Which engineering?

First I choose Civil Engineering, because of 1 article. "Malaysia is a developing country, so we need civil engineering to build infrastructure and building.....", but think twice, it's so difficult to find job currently, bullshit.

Second, I choose Electronic Engineering, because of plenty of vacancies. But too many friends choose this course, make me feel not special. And now I glad I didn't choose it.

Third, I want something that can be do solo, flexible, and high creativity. IT is the one. But, which one should I choose? Since previously I choose engineering, so this one should make it Engineering too.

Here born: Software + Engineering = SOFTWARE ENGINEERING

Simple reason huh? Sounds like a stupid who never thought much while making decision.

So I actually choose Software Engineering before I choose MMU.

And from Software Engineering, I choose MMU.

And thanks god I do made this decision.
