Mission 1: HRM completed

Hooray! Three cheers to Lester, Johnson, Kenny, Ye Wai and Zoebir! Our group fought the HRM battle and emerged unscathed cos Michael Heng accepted our report on presentation day! *ROAR* This gotta be one of the happiest day this sem, after going thru all the BOS and burning so many friday evenings in at the study benches at nanyang audit!

Still alive, barely

The frequency that I blog indicates the amount of free time I have.

It means that I've been working like a dog since the last post. =

Good news first: My FYP prof is going to give us a break from all the time-consuming experiments until after the exams.

Bad news: The exams loom. And before that, need to submit the BOS report for HRM.

Talking about our BOS with canteen 2, our group had a complete change of ideas after yesterday's discussion. I haven't changed my opinion though. In any case, their new "divergence" looks very uncompelling and I am not inspired, not at all. I think there goes any hopes of getting an A for HRM.

I wished I was more energetic yesterday, because I will be able to persuade them not to change our BOS concept. But I was just lethargic and really in a bochup mode. I think I will regret this decision come presentation day for our BOS report.

Haiz, I am really tired. Sometimes I am so busy, work so hard but the output and the input just don't look proportional.

Take monday for example, we were doing this fyp expt from morning 9.30 to 3pm in the afternoon. In actual fact, we finished taking all the measurements required in 15 mins. But due to poor planning, no contingency plans, lack of leadership, disorganisation, blah blah blah, wasted so much time away. Busy for nothing, really. Ditto for HRM discussions. (I drafted my part of the report due to our previously-agreed idea before they decide to abort!! WTH)

Haven't met up with the njcanoeists for very long! Having a bbq dinner this friday at marina south, but I can't even confirm if I will be able to make it. Life sux.

Oh yah, add the haze problem, wah kaoz it is really miserable. I can't even go for my weight-loss-relaxing-refreshening run at night for fear of bad air quality. Screw the haze!

Marathon is in less than 2 months time, but I don't feel ready. But Derrick is in worse shape than me. We met on Sunday to run at Macritchie, actually slow jog because he and I can't move beyond 2nd gear. (Actually itz him!!)

Stop FYP, finish HRM, clear exams, complete marathon.

The Haze Solution

The haze is getting worse, with a PSI high of 150 today in Singapore.

Sitting around to complain isn't going to help things. After some thoughts, I think the best way to solve the question is through the establishment of a logging company!

Yah, we need a logging company to hack down those trees to clear the land for the Indonesian farmers. They aren't educated, and it will probably take too much efforts from the Indonesian govt to educate these bunch of farmers. C'mon, create a plan to log trees in Kalimantan, or wherever the farmers wanna clear lands. Give them no trees to burn, and plenty of land to farm! Supply them with fertilizers to replace the ashes.

And you know what, the logging company can actually sell the timber and exchange them for cold hard cash! Instead of all the smoke and haze which is deteoriating air quality all around south east asia and beyond!

I will happily lead a logging company to help these farmers and make some money. Any venture capitalist hear me?

Argh. This haze is irritating me!
