first lesson of the day, digital fundamental lab. supposed to use a complicated logic gate for an experiment to make the led light up in a sequence hence creating the "running" effect. but things began to go wrong. firstly, i found out that the function generator was spoilt, after i had setted up the whole circuit, which included 16 wires criss-crossing, hence i can't generate the power needed to run the circuit. secondly, i found out the logic gate itself was faulty, i found out this too, when i had set up the whole circuit. thirdly, one of the wire snap inside my breadboard. that was the final straw and i gave up. damn, this is the 3rd failed exp in 2 weeks. grrrr
then bag rolled down the lecture hall. everyone was looking at me as my bag rolled.
then cold lagsane served to me in the newly opened canteen
back to lab again. wanted to print my applied statics and strength of materials notes. i got frustrated when i was trying to get 4 slides in one piece of paper, and when i finally got it right, i discovered, to my horror, i had printed the electronic device/circuit analysis notes. i have wasted a century of paper.
java lesson. just could not get the right code and hence, couldnt get the applet started.
gosh wad a day.
but one thing cheer me up, money!!
this is to pay for my lappy one. my blood-sweat money!!!
