This sem, its gonna be one hell of a sem for me, at least programming-wise. 4 languages with a potential 5th coming up, I just wonder how I'm gonna cope with it. Being behind schedule for my FYP sure hurts alot cuz I have to put in alot more effort now, but well, its not really my fault that this team-mate of mine hogs the bloody device that's so essential to my coding. =/ This is what happens when only one person in the team knows how to code, its almost like I'm doing the job of two people, I might as well have taken up this FYP on my own. Sometimes, I just regret signing up for this competition. I mean, I knew I had to work with someone else for my FYP, but this, well, this is pure shit.
At the very least, helping Mich with her coding for the past few weeks has got me slightly accustomed to C++ coding, and even managed to read up some stuff for openGL. That's probably why I've been so helpful when it comes to helping her out with the coding? =/ But anyways, hopefully this brushing up on C++ knowledge would help a lot in my razer competition.
Then there's the actionscript 3.0 to worry about. I did use this language in the last sem, but I would say I only used like 1% of what actionscript 3.0 has to offer. And I'm far from being proficient. Considering how I normally take only 2 weeks to be proficient at a language, I hope the clash of programming languages in my brain wouldn't affect the speed at which I learn actionscript.
This sem, its either gonna kill me, or bring the best out of me. And I certainly hope its the latter. Be it studies wise or personal life wise, I hope everything would go well.
Oh, since I'm talking about personal life, I might as well talk about my Vietnam trip.
Did I enjoy it? Sadly, I didn't really enjoy it. Maybe its the de-sensitizing from my travels in Europe, that I don't find the things I see in Hanoi or Ha Long Bay that fascinating. I can't even get excited from looking at cheap winter wear along the streets, since I've already bought my fair share of beanies and gloves from Europe. Well, the junk ride, bah, it didn't even feel half as shiok as the cruise ride in Russia. Probably cuz of how the whole of Ha Long Bay was so foggy that I couldn't even see the stars at night. Unlike on the cruise, where I could see the North Star and the other stars plus Venus so clearly in the night sky. The company or rather, lack of alcohol probably made a difference. On the cruise in Russia, I would say the company was much more fun, with alcohol and all, the HTHT got really fun and interesting. But on the junk, with the bartender disappearing after happy hour (which literally only lasted an hour), there was no more alcohol, and the HTHT topics were well, rather boring tbh.
At the end of the day, like I've mentioned before, for travelling, the company really matters. Maybe its cuz I haven't hanged out with this group of friends for quite some time already, so the frequency was not there in the first place, but is that really an excuse? I mean, I didn't even know Rachel before we went to Italy together, yet Vespa had so much fun in Italy. I didn't even know mich, weiting, jon, ruyi before the Russia trip, but we could still have those crazy moments in Russia. So, I don't really know what was wrong with the company in Vietnam, or maybe I just didn't have the same kind of excitement I had while I was in Europe.
All of a sudden, I'm thinking that, perhaps, for grad trip, i might very well be better off travelling alone. But we shall see. =/
