I HAVE DECIDED TO JOIN UW-FEC - UW Future Energy Challenge!!! Am joining as a volunteer though, and I don't think I'll be in the competition... After all, the judging and stuff comes in August, when I'd hopefully have already graduated... Somehow I get a feeling I may have to stay for another semester after all, or at least summer... Things aren't looking that good now... But if everything goes as planned, I'll make it by May!!!

Anyway, quite excited to join this team. If i was enlightened earlier, I'd have joined stuff like that long ago, and not take up this sucky leadership position... It feels so damn different being a capable follower rather than a useless leader manz... plus, this is so more related to what I'm doing. But at least, finally I've found something to focus on, something worthwhile to invest my time in and learn. Don't think I'm going to join Schoofs this time round, can't learn much working alone.

But FEC is really quite a professional group. Other than faculty advisors, we even have a project manager from the Department of Energy. They also have quite a bit of sponsorship from companies, like a 400W and 1.6kW wind generator, 1kW Solar Generator, a hydro-generator... Moreover, it's tied to WEMPEC, one of the greatest laboratory in US. The good part is the admin and financial part of the project has been taken care of, and probably my part is to help in designing the thing. Quite excited on learning to use "Programmable System on Chip", a software used to design systems. Come on, it's an industry software manz, definitely a good asset in this area. hehe~

hehe~ How can I talk so long about this without mentioning what we're doing. We're making a universal battery charger that runs on Renewable Energy! Have to admit, it sounds miserable at first though, but think it's pretty cool after all... plus, I get to learn lotsa stuff from this! Hopefully I'd learn enough from it to realize my dream... a distant dream which is now within closer reach...

Alright I must focus on this one! But right now, I guess I should start working on my pre-lab for the lab tomorrow... tata~

Inspiration Quotes
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
