Today my lecturer did a bit more than he was paid to which is sharing his advice.
Mr Yap from Applied Dynamics showed us a few slides about job as an engineer and the competition.
He highlighted two main points which I think is very ultimately important!
1. Once I graduate, I would have to compete with at least 3100 other Mechanical graduates from all over Malaysia.
2. Most of the job advertisement from companies require a minimum of second upper or 3.3 CGPA.
My mom told me before that if I want a good job I need to be more than just normal but the truth is...how more? What is defined as more?
My CGPA is 3.5 something which is scary cause it is critical. Might drop anytime...
My lecturer also specifically ask us to play less DOTA! Dang...lol...how did he know xD
Got to set my goals straight and make sure I carve my own path instead of being forced down a path I dont want to go through.
GOGO TETE!!

2gb RAM, I LOVE IT!
Wanted to upgrade my RAM in my laptop for sometime now...Last Monday I went to a computer shop here in Malacca and asked for their opinion on how much RAM can I upgrade to. The fella said about 3-4gb. Since my laptop has only 2 slots for RAM and that two slots are currently holding 512mb each, I thought it was more worth it if I changed one of them to a 2gb RAM. When I wanted to add another 2gb RAM to my laptop, he said it was out of stock. I was quite indecisive that day cause if I have 2gb at one slot and 512mb at another...it wont be balance and I think it might not function smoothly. So, I told the fella I will wait first.
After checking the website again (I checked before but I dont want to believe), I confirmed that my laptop can support a maximum of 2gb only. If I get more than that, it will just go to waste. So, I went back to the shop and got myself 2 pieces of 1gb RAM and ta-daa...I now have my laptop at full performance! The loading speed increase is quite noticable and I am happy with it. The two pieces of RAM cost me RM94. Before new year, they were RM40 each =.=
I think I made a right decision by upgrading now cause I think the price will increase somemore as the demand for DDR 2 RAM will be decreasing. Anyway, 2gigs babeh...syiok!
