Chapter 34 - The Freedom

I-AM-FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

(well, not really)

Submited my midpoint (FYP) documentation today. 114 pages, around 28,000 words excluding appendices and it is only MIDpoint. This means that there are 5 more chapters to go till the final submission + the working system. 

Next up are my finals in 2 weeks time then 2 weeks of holidays (mind you, FYP is still counted during that 2 weeks so no holidays afterall).

Anyhow, I'm glad I'm finally over midpoint. Now I can breathe a little and finally sleep earlier than 3am :)

Chapter 33 - News Flash!

I'm only half way through my busy schedule and here I am, down with fever and flu. So timely, isn't it? It currently feels like I'm at Cameron's as it is rather cold even with a single fan turned on. I need to get well quick to get back on track. Lots of things to do in this coming week.

Anyhow, that is not the news that was supposed to be flashed. Shirts 4 Real is on today's newspaper: The New Straits Times (business section)! So go grab a copy or simply click http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/Industries/Retailing/REAL26.xml/Article/ for you lazy people that do not read newspapers (like me but today is an exception).

Chapter 32 - The Abundance of Work

I just had to express my thankfulness somewhere:

I've just completed 98% of my (one of out many) assignment!!

now, 2 more to go excluding FYP *sigh*

I'm sure lots of you have been wondering whether "does Jan really have SOOO much work/assignments to do as he claimed to have?"

well, let me give you a little tour:

So, there we go. Now you understand why I'm very thankful for just ONE 98% completion? :)

God has been very very good so yea, I'm not complaining at all.

Now I'm off to complete it!

There! No more dust and shrooms growing all over this blog for now!

Time management tip: Draw a timeline for yourself when you're very busy, with much work to do. Set milestones (i.e. deliverables) to ensure that you're on the right track. It works! ;)
