FYP Hiccups

When all seems lost...... you have a great supervisor...
After pulling on the hair for almost 2 weeks, I finally raised the alarm; the issue of "Unable to compile" to my FYP supervisor. The application just won't cooperate with me... it just simply won't compile. This could very well jeopardise my grades!!!
After meeting with Dr Foh and sharing the problems faced, I still left his office with a heavy heart.....
"Darn, I will fail... "
To my surprise and gratitude, my problem was solved!!! It was clear that I left out a necessary patch for the embedded Visual C++ application to work with the PPC2003 compiler.....
I think the stress of working on my own has finally taken its toll. How stupid of me to over looked such a trivial matter. I am extremely grateful to Dr Foh for spending the afternoon to help spot my mistake. Kudos and Thanks so much!!!

Power Outage for 2 hours

12 noon to 2pm Electrical Supply interruption
Town Council maintenance and routine check of electrical installation


Hmm.... the experience of having the electricity cut-off for 2hr in Modern Society, PRICELESS!!!

Electricity never became this important in our daily lives before. To be specific, it was not the power but it was living with Internet connectivity that is pure agony, ARGH
