Lab session-Soldering~

Last experiment of my lab module, soldering. It is my first time doing it; took me quite some time to get the hang of it. I only managed to solder 1/3 of the setup with most of the time spent trying to solder right... Glad that when I try it out, it works! And now to worry about the next 2/3 of the setup... In preparation for it and also cos I didn't manage to do it, I took some wires from my school(apparently, it can be taken for use).

So, this 2/3 of the setup is actually the one I said I will do but realised that I do not have any wires left after doing the previous setup I shown before and thus, it was dragged until today(when I've wires)...

First result:

Second Result:

Last result(after changing a bit):

In the end, I think my setup is wrong since none of these is the expected result... If I can't even do it on a breadboard, how am I supposed to solder it??? Sigh~

SIF update:

Just got Rin today when 4x and expert modes come out. Right now, waiting for 4x and expert modes to be out in En server to get Kotori(time to use those 'kotori'!)

(Self) Work update:

Just finished my cover picture with all my respective user IDs in different art communities and social media. Will be uploading together with my new profile pic on my birthday! Also for Milky Holmes fanart- not sure if I can finish before birthday but I will try my best to!

Jap compo~Milky Holmes&Love Live Logo~

Spent about an hour to finish with researches made on some vocab and grammar. Not sure if my grammar is right; going to think there will be a lot of mistakes...-.- At the very least, I managed to write 400 characters; it is an accomplishment considering how hard it is to think of things to write. 

Finished outlining and cleaning it- Going to colour next

Logo made

Just a thought of making the logo since taking the original ones is illegal.

Presentation 2 DONE!~Bday presents~Cycling time~

Finally, presentation 2 was done yesterday. It was like a great burden lifted off from my chest.
And then, for today's 2 tests... I think all the exhaustion from extreme nervousness of the presentation just came straight back at me today; I feel overly tired to the point, my energy was used up once my first test is over. And so, my second test... I think I am going to do badly(partly also cos I didn't study much-.-) Although the results aren't going to be good, I do learn of the parts I am weak at or miss out which I will pay extra attention to study for my finals. There's a saying that 'failure is the mother of success'; it sucks to do badly for tests but as to how one respond to it is another thing.  

Also for yesterday, got a call that the stuff I reserved, came to the store. I was elated and went down to the store to get it. It is actually a birthday present that I told my siblings I wanted and they chipped in the cost.(In a way, I did not spend a single cent on it >8<) TBH, this wasn't something I had been wanting to buy but rather it was just so happen I saw it while shopping. It has everything I wanted; the colour and design I wanted! Immediately, I told my siblings I wanted that as my birthday present! R u curious about the present I am talking about? Well... It is...

A blue alpaca!(The glasses and cap are both mine; not added on) I did a little dress-up for it and wow, it looks like a detective.(Haha~) Also, it looked a lot like me.(*^*///) The soft toy alpaca is something I love to have but the ones I always saw in store are the white or pink type with the welcome sign. When this series; the alpaca corps, came out, I felt in love with it. And, my fave colour has always been blue. It is like all the right 'conditions' are there and I decided to get it! It is nice to hug; good hugging 'pillow' when watching the TV! Welcome to my 'family' of soft toys!

On the topic of my birthday, I just finished my self fanart.

I will be changing my profile pic with this pic.-Will do it on my birthday. I may be making a cover pic(something like the one in facebook) to include my art community IDs but it will again depend on my work load(plus the fact I had no idea how I should do it...)
As for my Milky Holmes fanart, I will try to finish before my birthday!-Again, depend on my work load...

For work load wise, the 'dreadful' moment has came; the time to do my Japanese compo... I know I have been (sort of) dying to write one but not sure if I really can do it when I made a lot of careless mistakes in my homework... Just got to try out; after all it is better to make mistakes now than during my finals.    

Lastly, after all the 'obstacles', I could finally find the time to go out and cycle for a while; exercise and relax a bit.

Before I end off, a song to share:

私があなたを導いてゆく  by NICO (Had been listening while blogging)

It was the song played at the last episode of season 2 of Milky Holmes during the dance between Sheryl and Henriette which was a beautiful scene. Also the lyrics itself describe the relationship between detective and gentlemen thief or rather specifically, Sheryl and Henriette relationship.
And that made me come up with another plot idea that what if the main character, a detective, fell in love with the thief he/she is chasing?(main char and the thief's genders are not specific...)
Actually, this plot idea can easily adapt into another idea I shared before of what if the main char fell in love with the person who killed the main char's family?-Will love or hatred be the path that the main char choose?
While the factors are different, the concepts are similar; if you fell in love with your enemies, how will you respond?

That's about it then. I think I will sleep early to replenish myself for the loss of sleep from last week and study tmr! This is Will signing off, ja ne~

Nervous~Circuit setup ver.2~SIF~Milky Holmes fanart(sneak preview)~

Tomorrow's going to be my last presentation for the semester and feeling rather nervous(again) despite doing presentation for quite a few times. My efficiency just went to near zero from thinking of the presentation.(Can't study for my Tuesday tests at all)  Heart had been beating much faster than normal though I may not look nervous at all... I suppose sometimes I've this poker face up that what I am feeling currently, cannot be seen by people around me.-I simply act normally; doing my work, talking like I always do but in reality my feelings are in a turmoil.
I may look like I am doing work but all the answers I wrote may be wrong. I may be listening to you but all of what you're saying actually went from one ear and out from the other ear; I will just simply agree or nod to whatever you said... Lastly, in lecture/tutorial, I may look like I am listening and taking notes like a good students but actually I 'programmed' myself to take down anything the lecturer/tutor wrote whether I understand or not.
Hoping tmr's presentation will go well. And as well as my Tuesday tests before I can relax myself a bit for the week. (Ganbatte, Will!) To think so many things to tackle before I can turn 20, March really is a tough month for me. April will be the ending month with the last few weeks of final to tackle until lst week of May before I can finally rest for 3 months.(Sigh~)

A little something to share:

     

This setup is the same as the one I show in the previous post. The video is my second attempt at it. The result is slightly different as the power supply is higher(about 6V instead of 5V). 

Here's the skeleton of the setup:   

Next I will be making the complicated one as shown below:

This setup is the addition to be made so as to connect with the setup I did. I know I said before I will be making this week but apparently, presentation and tests made me just want to focus on them only; until then, I cannot bear to work on other stuff(maybe an exception to drawing...) I will post like I promised when I succeeded in the setting up that circuit and gotten the result I want.

Moving on, the exception of drawing plus playing is the only one I could still do or rather the things I could do to distress a bit. 

Token events for both En and Jap; Rin and Kotori. Have been slowly earning tokens while waiting for 4X and expert modes to be out. Can't wait for Unbalanced Love Expert- Love the beatmap a lot plus the song(though sad) is great as well. 

Next, something I did in the evening:

Recently, had started watching Milky Holmes series; both seasons 1 and 2 plus the latest season, TD. Reason for watching is mostly b'cos LL's Umi(my fave char) voice actor is acting in this series. Also, Nico's voice actor is also inside. And then, Cardfight Vanguard; Misaki's voice actor is inside too. To add on, in the latest season, Honoka's voice actor is inside as well! 

TBH, this series is a lighthearted anime with comedy everywhere.- I enjoyed it with the random tactics of the Milky Holmes members though there are many 'grown up' stuff implied in the anime(for the first 2 seasons) which is harmless if you just close one eye over it and see it as a comedy as well. 

At first, based on just the character design, I liked Nero but after watching the first 2 seasons, I find all characters are unique and interesting in their own ways.

To choose a fave... I feel that it will be Sheryl(b'cos of her voice actor) but after thinking again... Cordelia could easily be my fave as well since her dramatic personality(when feeling noble to sacrifice for the greater good), her obsession with flowers and the change in personality once exposed to darkness are quite funny. 

And then, there's Hercule... She  resemble me a little from the shy personality she has. She's also the one who has a bit of common sense as compared to the other three yet b'cos she speaks softly, normally she's not heard and get scolded by Nero for not speaking out.

As for Nero... Well, she's more of the selfish and lazy one but smart in the sense of making others work for her(in the case of Hercule). I wouldn't say I like this personality yet it is a unique one that make the whole series funny and interesting!

Just like LL, I love all the casts of Milky Holmes. However, no particular fave yet.

As I finished both Seasons 1 and 2 of the series(just this week I think), I decided to make a fanart and also partly to distress a bit. The fanart is only half-done; haven't add in the colours yet(a small sneak preview).- Will be finishing it after my tests on Tuesday. 

The fanart is based on this:(from opening 1)

Also, I did a mini-birthday art for myself. It is halfway done; will be showing on my birthday. Likewise, going to work on it after the tests. 

Lastly, I'm thinking on making a fanart on these 3:

When I saw these cards, it made me want to play Million Arthur again yet... Just thinking how hard it is to get these; tedious 'walking' to collect cards and defending fragments... It just irks me and well, I suppose I could just look at the cards from time to time instead. I will work on it when I got the time. 

That's about it then. The day is coming to an end and the battle's starting tomorrow. It will be a gruesome 10 hours of 'preparation' before the battle. Let's hope I survive this battle and go on to the next 2 stages!

Penny for thoughts; Past & Present~

Today just finished 2 tests; one from my maths mod and the other from my Japanese language mod. For maths test, I can confidently say I was able to do the first 2 question but for the last question... No comment on it...
And as for Jap test, I can't help but feel sad at the fact that I went to correct the answer which is right into a wrong answer or else I would have gotten a full mark! Sigh~

Had been busy for this month(considering the number of stuff to do...) Going to have a presentation and 2 tests on the next week...Sigh~ However, after this month, the workload will reduce though I still have tests or rather final exams for my Jap mod in mid April... Also, my finals will be starting near end of April till first week of May before my 3 months break will start!(Can't wait for that break!)(>8<)

(Just a passing thought) Recently due to the 'immerse' workload, I can't help think of my younger days. I think I said before that I wished I treasure the time I was young where it was the period that I was free or rather had more time as compared to now. But like most teenagers at that time, I only focus much on my studies and forget the fun which it gets harder to enjoy over time...
As I think back to my younger days of having different experiences such as rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, CIP, etc., I really miss those days where the 'little' me was free.
Sometimes, I see myself as an adventurous person; I don't mind exploring, trying out new things if time permits. There is so little time yet so many things I want to try like ice-skating, roller-blading, parachuting, horse-riding, etc.
Ok, it sounded like I don't have much time to live to try out these stuff(which isn't the case!!!). It is more like a form of regret of not gasping well of my younger days when I was more free... It's not like I can't try these stuff I listed but rather the factor of time is not on my side.
And (once again) telling myself to focus on the present. The past is the past and it is what makes up the person I am today!

Sorry for the ramblings. Here's a little something to share:

It is something I did during my lab session and it took me freaking long time to get this results!-About 2 hours due to troubleshooting and re-doing twice...(-.-) While it is very frustrating when you can't get the results you wanted, the sense of accomplishment from FINALLY getting the right results is worth it all!- Quite similar to solving a maths question!

There's another experiment(which is even more complicated) to try out. Initially, this experiment should have been done during my last session but due to the time spent on the above experiment, I decided to try out at home with the parts provided(took them home). Hopefully, it works(after connecting)!

This week is my school's E-learning week so it is sort of considered holiday for me!- Time to catch up and revise for next week.

Blogging my thoughts once a while does help sort out my thoughts. And so, till next time then! This is Will signing off, ja ne~
