5 mths of hard work has finally come to an end today. I had just experienced the most busiest moment of my life as a student and now I am finally able to take a short break... now i have decided to take a short break, spend more time with friends if possible, play a bit of games, catch up on my japanese studies and settle insurance/credit card/e-dictionary/laptop issues before continuing on the next phase of my life which is to search for a suitable job..

Even though my project is quite unrelated to my course on security (since its a Secure Dungeon application that focuses more on the design aspects) and quite useless I feel =x... but I learnt so many things through it. Even though life was hell, workload was lots and everyday was like 12 hrs programming all the way with hardly anytime to eat + watch dramas and burning weekends, my friends/team had been supportive of each other and we had alot of fun too while doing the project.. I learnt a great deal about team work and although the team had alot of conflicting ideas and would often argue over alot of stuff... somehow we were able to resolve all those issues and work together towards a common goal.

credits to other ppl including fabian who helped me alot too.. when my lappy spoilt he offered to lend me his help and lappy and all that but i declined >_<. Jack came to my rescue yesterday when my adaptor suddenly spoilt. He lent me his adaptor so that I could back up the documentation especially the very important User Manual that i spent the whole of the previous night editing -_-!! haha.. and also the Secure House ppl for providing useful information when i asked them on how they did their functions and stuff.

For today's presentation it was mainly the app demo to the panel of judges. I had to demo the 2nd half of the demo. I screwed up for the 'Add Devices' but anyway I skipped that part and was not asked further qns other than coverage and simulation stuff. After that we stayed back to watch the other groups and to finalise the documentation to submit. Edwin's group presented very professionally.. after that for the Secure House presentation, (as we will surely be compared with theirs as the accessor and supervisor is the same..)

Alot of questions were posed to Secure House - Mr.Jappit had questions regarding the door locks being place on door + window and the size (resolution of the added devices) and simulation..

I discussed with Angela and Raymond about their app and we came up with the following comments...

Secure House

• In terms of the GUI they were using the default java gui. I didn't understand some of the features like their Add Device because it seemed quite complicated (many fields to add).
• Have to draw each room and place assets (not sure about their auto analysis and deployment - lol still v.blur on their functions but nvm anyway)
• 2D simulation was dynamic and will report all the scenerios that happens (3 threats)

Secure Dungeon

• More professional/nicer GUI interface (because I used looks&feel library =x), the GUI is designed by me btw..
• Load floor plan with drawn room - analyse will place assets
• 2D simulation more lacking - especially the test plan because only the coverages would light up. I think Mr.Jappit wanted more reports on the scenerios that were happening during the animation. (6 threats to choose from)

However, it feels like we might have more functions than them..
hmm.. but mostly are probably variations and refinement. But in terms of programming strength, their group does have good programmers like Juncheng, gw and beng...

Our team I would say.. is lacking in the programming aspect because only 3 of us handled all the programming. Haha, to change topics. Im super happy today because fyp is over.. at the same time im super tired too because of the lack of sleep from rushing programming and reports.

anyway my team's application demo can be viewed here too xD

Later in the evening i went pubbing with dajie, shiba-san and sugi-san. For now I just want to meet her as much as possible until she leaves in September to study in London.. Da jie is a really important friend + big sister to me so I am sad that she'll have to leave so soon T_T... haiz.. but it is wad she want so i have no choice but to support her.. >_<. The main objective for today was to relax and relieve stress.. b4 we met shiba and sugi san, we went to eat hot dessert at asabu in the central.

after that we all went to a pub at higher lv of the central - Helipad (i tink that's wad it was called). shiba-san paid for us even though we wanted to pay - i tink entrance fee was around $12.. + 1st drink. Actually this is the first time i went into a pub.. a few times I almost went into 1 but in the end nvr go lol. Im not really a fan of pubs and i dun really like drinking or dancing either but it was ok anyway since we came here to talk initially. but da jie said the choice of place was quite bad cuz at the disco area the music too loud and hard to talk. which is true anyway i shouted so much when talking to sugi san that my voice became hoarse T_T. i was quite shocked cuz sugi-san said that he dun like/drink alcohol, which i think its quite rare lol.. and despite his age he still act quite like a kid.. haha. anyway after talking to sugi-san quite alot last nite - we have a few tings in common i realised. but we had quite a hard time communicating with each other. he kept using his fone to show me kanji words which i didn't under cuz my jap level also not so high. but i found out he also watch or read (I can't understand which he was trying to say) quiz show 1 and 2 and he like jdrama too + plays xbox360 and learnt quite alot of interesting things about japan. anyway sugi san ordered coke and milk shake lol. da jie was "pissed off" with him for ordering $7 coke from the pub when he can buy outside for $1-2. LOL.

haha anyway despite the loud music and noone wanting to dance on the disco stage - after 1 am then got ppl dancing.. i had fun too and it was good exposure i think.
