Structures...just hate 'em...

Sigh it's like ok program works now create a structure and i do that until it doesn't work when i do it but works when mr chua (senior) does it. and why is that?? because he sets a damn breakpoint!!! can you believe it?!?! i was like thinking and thinking what's the diff besides that breakpoint and worse is i had this belief that i couldn't set a breakpoint on the microP cause only in debugger mode can you do such a thing, and that's exactly right but that's also the reason why you need a breakpoint...to enter the interrupt within the debugger and debugger alone...that litter bugger...*grrrzz*

anywaz now it works, yayness!! but now its back to searching for tutorials and everything cause now i needa write a program in Visual C++ for the PC to store the data graphically. how the hell is that to be done...read..that's mr chua's (junior) response. sigh. back to square one. but think not as bad as jia ling who's sitting here using the sch's com in room 3 and having to read all of mr chua's notes hahaha!! hope she doesn't get tooo frustrated by it. but right now its like 5:30pm so we needa move back to the project room. sigh. don't really like it in there, first its freezing cold and so stressful cause everyone is quiet except me and jia ling...and sometimes shy joins in. hehe!!

nothing to write about, actaully that's a lie there's so much in my head but nah won't bore the people reading this so might as well just call shuxin and complain hahaha!! not that bad. but yeah works rather then typing so boring. yaote just came in and gave me a shock by pushing on the locked door behind me and jia ling. lolx anywaz needa be logging off to shift back over. =D

IT WORKS!!!!

As you can tell my program finally works but still there are some flukes here and there. but over all it works!! im like so freakin' happy!! can you believe i like sat here reading and going through that stupid datasheet (M68DEMO908GB60) over and over again and finally i understand how it works and roughly how to define certain things, man am i happy it works, LEDs (light emitting diodes) light and everything. only problem now is that the LEDs only light when i step rather then when i run (in debugger mode of Code Warrior IDE[software program for programming microprocessors]). if i run the debugger it doesn't work and mr chua (senior) says its because of my sampling frequency but heck i just maxed it all out to PRESCALAR 0xFF and MODULUS 0xFF (F=1111(binary) & 15(decimal)). hahahaha!!! but now i was told to create a subroutine for the ATD (analog to digital converter) why i'm not too sure yet but all i know is that it was linked to why i had to enable interrupt.

according to mr chua(senior) im suppose to interrupt by using SW1(switch1) and then from when SW1 is pressed it'll enable interrupt then it'll go into my ADT_start(my subroutine) and then from there it should run and light the LEDs but it doesn't!!! and if i step then it doesn't even go into the subroutine and now im like so...argh!! but since its 5:30pm im so outta here!! hahaha!!

Can it get any more boring??

Ok it's like the ending of the second week and im like bored outta my mind reading about M68DEMO908GB60. and yes i wrote that without refering to anything..just typed it out and its like so totally not like me to remember things like that unless its well you know. =p but i've been reading and searching for tutorials and then typing out header files with this as the file name and its like so...OM-Goodness....im totally going..whats the phrase?...?..bonkers!! nuts!! wacked out and crazy!! way totally for all the former mentioned. sigh. and now im sitting here in the class room near to falling asleep, was only woken by lionel placing a box of chocolate under my nose. sigh. apparently he wanted to offer but i as sleeping so opened and as happy there was a smell and yeah waved it under my nose and woke me. then jia ling combed my hair cause to her it was an apparent mess and she couldn't stand it. but heck i aint gonna complain if someone wants to comb my hair, i'll prompt myself up and enjoy. hahaha!!

still needa read through the data sheet and learn as much as possible about ATD(analog to digital) aka ADC. in a way i find what we're doing interesting and everything cause of its simplicity and yet its so complicated. yesterday shuxin was going through the schematic and haha looked more dumbfounded then me. but then again i've been staring and the color coded ports =D for about a week now so for just looking at it for 5 min i doubt i should complain.

oh yeah pics are out and not many of us actually like our pics that will be displayed outside the project room so mr kou agreed to let us change our pics just that we have to give him by latest tomorrow cause he needs to make changes to the supervisors in charge anywaz. he kinda messed up the supervisors in charge, not major or anything but the main was mixed with the supporting.

and now there's a somewhat "class outing" outside the class with some food and drinks, think coffee and stuff. kk off i go to join them. =D

First Day of VPP

The first day of VPP and i was bored outta my mind. it was like bad enough with the AEM exam which was like managable yet sigh, tough i'll be damn happy just to pass and get those 6 cca points and no more advanced moduels (for now) *grinz*

then it was head back in the rain over to BME center and then met jia ling and had to wait as in like really wait for mr chua (tji leng) cause he was having his lunch. sigh. so after waiting for like what seemed eternity, we finally met him and he explained everything to us so now it's research and get familar with all the specs and everything. so far so good i guess, but no way are we memorizing it man.

after that we ate and then did some research and got all those programs that mr chua said to download, downloaded. then we went to have a look to see where'd we be sitting for the next 6 months. it's filthy, and the whole room smells musty. i know im so totally going early to clean and wipe the chairs and table, i need a clean working area man. so me and jia ling will be there to clean our tables and everything. =) and no we're not weird at all.

finished printing and specs and reading all those papers mr chua gave so now time for a break and gonna go watch Desperate Housewives now. if there's time i'll update more tomorrow. i'm only grateful tomorrow starts at 9am. -.- *sleepy* kk time to watch tv and fall asleep!!! =)

Pope John Paul II (1920-2005)

Nothing can ever compare to a man of God's holy word!! today marks the passing of his Holiness Pope John Paul II. though he was a chatholic he was still a man of God and for that and his works i shall honour and praise him. not only did he help in the progresssion of the church but also the minds of people and their ways of belief. he nutured and raised the people's hearts and minds to be closer to God's. i really thank God for placing such a man here on earth, to touch and help the lives of so many around the world. he truely was an instrument of God and all His works, forever more able to, now and forever, praise and reign.

a man of such humbleness and kindness, God-fearing and loving. as i watched the tv this morning i couldn't help but really see how even children would just reach out to hug him. to me, even he seemed like a child with his smile and light in his eyes. a flame that will never go out as his impression in all our minds will remain etched forever carved in stone within our hearts as well. grace, honour, salvation!! only a mere few of all he stood for and tried to reach out and share, allowing us the people to have what he had as well. he blessed and he shared, whole-heartedly.

all of yesterday me and my mom watched the tv and everything and even though his condition was bad it did not hit me as anything major, in fact not much usually does and i thank God for that. as i sat there my mom was asking me how come i have no reaction to anything?? and all i could answer to her was, "Doesn't God alwaz take care of things in His own perfect time?" then she just looked at me like she was in disbelief but it's true. even this morning when i flicked on the tv to watch my morning program and then this announcement was being shown across the bottom of the screen when my mom came out and i told her he passed away, she made me turn it to CNN and she sat watching it, 9:37pm Rome time, he passed. even now she's still watching it. but i have now come to my room to study for tomorrow's test. but just can't help to walk out every now and then just to see what's going on.

"Even though i walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me, Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."
Psalm 23:4

Time to Play?? o.O??

Thought that ESA would be tough but not that tough, but it turned out to be tough, as in tough!! sigh. now i'm scared to start my year 3 project. it's like ESA practical all over again, sigh. the only good thing i can see so far is that no matter what, i'll have fun and a good laugh cause well put me and jia ling together and what'da got?? *grinz* hehe!!

anywaz, suppose to be have taken my mom out today as well but then it started raining and well haha everyone got lazy then mom wanted to clean the whole house so yeah started helping with that and that was the first time that i've mopped two days in a row. waoh!! shocking huh?? especially from me. clean? fine! but just no mopping and dishes...laundry depends. actaully i don't mind it's just my sis, hate that she leaves everything inside out and i have to turn it back to right out side. damn frustrating no matter how many times you tell her she still does it. and now that stupid window in he room. come on working or not working she can cock a damn crack in the wall, but no..she has to complain and wine and worse is my mom gives in and for the past few weeks now she's been sleeping in my room making it a total mess like her's and now it's like every morning i have to clean my room. last time i just had to straighten it once a week but now it's every single day and im sick if it. i can't even change in my own room in the morning when i wanna get ready for school and i can't turn the light on to get my things or pack my bag. so my mom makes me, and literally, pack my bag and place it on the couch before my sis goes to bed, pick out my clothes and hang them behind my mom's room door, now this is just pathetic!!! it's my room not her's. she's already got one and i want mine back!! and i refuse to give in and cock the window for her but i will somehow kick her outta my room. just how??

and till now i haven't even eaten any of my birthday chocolates but my sis almost did open it cause she wanted it and my mom made me open it for her to eat and i didn't get any...sigh. so what if she works, so what if she comes back everday late that doesn't mean she can do and get whatever she wants because of it. mom just wants the family and i can understand that but then instead of doing thigs like this she should just make her make time for the family but then she never wants to bother so what's the point?? seriously tell me what's the point??? a family is only a family when the members are willing to sacrifice things and time for each other. i'm trying my best to make time to take my mom out as much as possible lately and to spend time with her and everything and then i'm just studying in the night and then falling asleep while studying. lolx!! but i'm still trying before monday comes casue the way the schedule is looking, ain't gonna be having much free time either this coming semester. sigh. but what to do?? just hope that atachment is more fun then project but for now hope that the project isn't that tough and that it's fun as well. kinda really hoping for year 3 to be fun. but then with practically the whole class gonna be gone. sigh. still hoping!!

think i should go through AEM a bit since ain't really do much of anything now. sigh. last paper before start of BPD......
