Photographic Memory...

I woke up not knowing it is Sunday morning. Everyday seems to be the same during exam period. In the afternoon, I went to study in the Seminar Room with Ian and Jacky. I was working on EE2009 and attempted a past year paper. It was an open book paper, and so I end up flipping around the textbook searching for formulas and such.

Imagine, how good would it be if I could just take mental snapshots of all the pages in my book so I can just flip them in my brain. I know few friends who have photographic memory and below is an illustration of what they can do with a page in the textbook.


All the text, graphs, diagrams and formula all presented to you exactly as they were in the textbook. No more getting stuck because you forget an important formula or concept, no more flipping around the textbook in open book exams, and of course, no more wondering if you remembered something correctly or not.

Unfortunately when I tried to take mental snapshots, this is how they ended up.


So much for photographic memory I guess. =p

Well, when photographic memory fails, something more reliable is always around that would be good old Old Town Ipoh Coffee! I was sanctioned to deploy one these every 2 days when I met up with her 2 days ago. Since photographic memory doesn't work, what is next is to gulp down one cup of irresistible white coffee, feel happy and start mugging like hell!


Anyway, I am wanted to post a picture of the "Digital Voltage-Lock Loop" circuit which I build a couple of weeks ago in EE2006 lab. I remembering spending hours and hours debugging the circuit and my hard work paid of in the end with a working circuit. It was my first self-designed and self-built digital circuit. The sense of satisfaction when you watch the LEDs lit up in the correct sequence was indescribable. I remembered when I first read the Lab Manual, I was totally lost when I tried to conceptualize the circuit idea. And when I got my design out, I was a little disheartened by the "extremely" complex circuit I have to build on the breadboard. But when I look back now, the circuit seemed to be an extremely simple one to build, and I wondered why am I struggling back then. Experience is important I guess, especially in circuit design and working with the breadboard, and I am glad that I manage to gain some from this lab and not to mention a new found interest in digital electronics. =)


Next year we the C1 guys are moving up to B4. Really going to miss C1 really. But a change in environment is good sometimes as it allow us to gain new experiences. Actually, I can't wait to move up to B4 and stay in my new room. Dying to know how it feels like to be up on the 4th floor and live in my new room. =D


The key chain above is a souvenir for all the C1 guys, for us to remember the great times we had together. Credit goes of Andrew for making this key chain for the all of us. Our story is not over yet and definitely more wonderful times awaits us the next year. Thanks for being such great friends C1, Hall Life would not be the same without the company of you guys, or maybe I should say, there would be no Life in Hall without you all being around.

Lastly, mug hard people! This advice does not go to the C1 guys, because they are already mugging like don't know what already! XD

P.S : The picture of the key chain was taken in dedication to the C1 Muggers. =)
