16th Month of PostGrad

Christmas here in the UK is like one of the big thing, and the holiday is longer as well. Didn't really work much in December and it's starting off slowly after new year. Anyway, the University is closed during Christmas break, everyone's back home for winter reunion.

Anyway, been stuck with Matlab programming recently. Working hard with all the numerical methods that used to be my undergrad assignments. Seriously, Matlab is better than the previous DOS program (Dynamics). There're more guides online and things are more flexible, I even use my own Runge-Kutta codes that allows manipulation of any parameter.

Matlab coding with big screen:

However, it takes AGES to make one works, been scribbling all over my log book with flow charts and equations to solve errors. Also drafted an initial report of all my mathematical models for my supervisor. In return, there're marking all over here and there. Oh gosh, I foresee the misery of redraft-resubmit-redo cycle to happen again.

Rejected report:

One of the PhD student in my office just completed his viva examination this morning, the while office was cheering for him. Back in NB04 (my office in Malaysia), Douglas is also done with his PhD. Seeing undergrad students graduate is not too bad, but now PostGrad people that I know starts to leave. This is a very difficult feeling, glad for them yet depressing for myself.

N-block people are still as happening as ever:

"Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle."
-Psalms 144:1

For all the worries and troubles of tomorrow, may God take it all away and bless us with the strength to focus on today. Help us to trust in You alone who is bigger than all the problems, and You will bring us there at the perfect timing, Amen.
