Graduation

md_02_a
^ Hmm? You think you have matured?

Sorry about the lack of posts the past few days. I do humbly apologize as I’ve been busy with my internship (Today’s the last day!) and project presentation (final presentation).

Time really flew when I was on internship. Each day passed faster than one could fa- imagine it would. I would say it had been a very exciting period in my life during my whole course of internship.

But of course, this post isn’t about my internship, but about my recent graduation from school.

I (unofficially) graduated from school two days back, immediately after my project presentation. What does this mean then?

  • I’m now a free man (Till I enter and finish National Service and I’ll be one again)
  • I’ll be a Polytechnic Graduate with a Diploma in Information Technology (Damn that name is long)
  • Moar time to focus on Photography and my Piano exam
    (Grade 8  3rd Retake T A T)
  • Meet more people (Especially cutesy girls :o)
  • Able to post more otaku and Japan related stuff to you guys
  • Develop more functions (Just improved one before this post)
  • Moar time with Rin :)

Graduation didn’t really occur to me when I was back in Year 1 or 2. It was a “Hey, it’s still so far” kind of thing. Yet, even after giving my final presentation, I didn’t feel particulary happy or sad about it – Guess it just comes and goes. ^^;

Besides that, I have pretty much matured over the years. Not just the dolph- I mean mental side but also being able to better make critical decisions. Internship has also helped me to better understand the world and knocked some sense into me. ^^;

So what’s after graduation then? I have thought about it for quite some time and I would thing that Photography would be the route I would like to spearhead into (Meet great people like Leslie Kee etc and also the fashion models ^^), and using my IT skills as a backbone to support and illustration as a side-hobby.

Time to go make some awesome pictures!

New internet contract = Much more to grab

I’ve just recontracted with my ISP a week ago. Now equipped with 10Mbps download and 1Mbps upload, everything goes even much faster now :)

The 10Mbps service had already been activated 2 days back, but due to my n00b-ness of not knowing 10Mbps would require a ADSL2 modem. Thus, I was stuck with searching for ‘free’ networks.

The ‘free’ ADSL2 router that came with the package arrived this afternoon, after 5 mins of receiving the package, I was back onto the internets ^___^ 

 

Speedtouch 585(i) ADSL2 4 ports router
Router stand
Straight through UTP cable
RJ 11 Phone wire
Power adapter
4 Phone ADSL filters

Yay. Free Phone ADSL filters. I have no idea why would one need so many. What I really do like is that this router has 4 ethernet ports and a build-in modem. This helps a hell lot as I would not need to use my old set-up which consisted of connecting a 1-port wireless router to a 4-port wireless router via NAT and static routing.


I really like the speeds I’m getting. It really leaves Chiyo-chan speechless :)

Now, I can’t wait for FTTH/FTTP (Fiber to the home) <Link>

    Congrats! The internship is only a glimpse of what the real world is like. Soon you’ll be hitting the daily grind like the rest of us! So use your remaining spare time wisely.

  2. - TP

    At least you don’t need to extend your internships. I had, and I hated my grades afterwards.

    And, yes, Welcome to The Expendable Time. Well, at least until NS beckons you. I tell you, please enjoy your “virgin time” because I speak from experience. (Am still waiting for 8 months till ORD! ORZ)

    Just asking, any new events to go to?

  3. - Hirito

    Congrats on graduating!! I wish I could had enjoy my internship but it wasn’t the case, totally non-related to what I was studying.

    Enjoy the time from graduation till entering NS, cause NS is going to be one of the most boring, time-wasting event of your life (at least for me).

  4. - Belela-san

    Congrats on your graduation, unfortunately I’m still years away of my graduation, since it’s a 5 year course and one the hardest in my country I don’t know when I’m going to get out of there.

  5. - double

    My course has a longer name than yours. Diploma in Infocomm Security Management, hah beat that. It abbreviates to DISM, which apparently sounds like dimsum >_>

    Congratulations! I’m still in high school D:

  6. - AS

    I still have 2 1/2 more years to go before I “supposedly” graduate, then its off to the real world. Congrats for graduating.

  7. - Chilipop

    Congratulations on your graduation! Like AS, I’ve got a few years to go.
    I agree with the internship thing, though- it really rips time out of you, I’ve got one too.

    Good luck on your piano exam- just practice alot and you’ll do great! I remember being in the same boat :)

    Congrats on graduating from college!
    I’m still in my 3rd year of high school though; I have a long way to go.

  8. - Deathy

    Congrats Windbell!

  9. - Hiji

    Congratulations, times flies when you’re busy/occupied. Like the others say, use your time very wise (or waste it enjoying and taking it in).

    PS: my degree name is longer than all of yours, HA! =P

  10. - ron~

    congrats

    once you get a fulltime job, you’ll be busier than studying tho :p

    Graduate loh!

  11. - dice

    After you graduate from Poly? You graduate again from Uni. (posibility of graduation continues)

    Otherwise, you’re married. . . to your desk at work.

    Then you’ll start planning for your real marraige and future kids but then you realise you already have 2 kids at home to take care of. One aged 60, the other Aged 55.

    Oh and did I mention then you’ll wish you never did graduate. LOL Ok that’s a bit scary & I better not frighten you.

    Photography sounds interesting! My advice – pursue your dreams and whatever you like to do. . . and stick to it! :3

  12. - Choo

    Congratulations!! =D

    Congratulations for graduating.

    Congrats and enjoy your freedom while it lasts.

  13. - gordon

    u think Diploma in Information Technology is long? wait till u hear mine, Diploma in Electrical, Electronic and Communication. beat that huh? (‘~’)

    anyway, enjoy your freedom while it last. conscription, er… i mean NS is a great time to meet new friends. i did. i kinda miss those days. ^^;

    Congratulations!, An extra long vacation is privilege of fresh graduates…
    In Japan, Many fresh univ graduates have an overseas trip (a.k.a. 卒業旅行).
    Will you go trip during this period ? or you will be absorbed in otaku hobbies ?.

    P.S.
    Tokyo disney land launched a special campaign for high school graduates.
    the following site has lots of cute school girls photos, Please check up!

    @Hirito: What did you do during your internship?

    @Belela-san: What course are you taking at the moment? 5 years seems like a Masters program.

    @double: Fancy some dimsum?

    @IcyStorm: LOL! Thanks.

    @AS & Chilipop: Enjoy your school life!

    @Zerobalde: It’ll be over within a blink of an moe eye.

    @Deathy, Choo, Sylon Beta: Thanks!

    @Hiji: That’s because you’re in some specialized course >_>

    @ron~: I think that’s very true. But also depending on the job you have.

    @Tragic comedy: ORD loh!

    @dice: Thanks for the advice! Does it mean I’ll get 4 kids if i have 2 future kids?

    @Setsuna-san: That doesn’t sound too good lol!

    Congratulations on graduating! Enjoy your break while you can! :D This means more frequent updates!

    And I’m surprised no one asked about “Rin”. XD

    Woah!!! HaruKyan looks awesome (aside from the girls, of course)! There’s a campaign for university students too!!!! Damnit. Why do I have to have school when Japan’s having all these awesome things going on?
