Awesome week…

This week, has become a really awesome one. As far as I can remember:

Monday:

Suddenly feeling sick since I got up that morning. Bath was sooo freezing. Obviously I have a cold. The worst thing is, afteI took a dosage of Dec*lgen, I HIBERNATE. YEAH, HIBERNATE LIKE A POLAR BEAR. I slept from noon to midnight, brilliant.

Tuesday:

Didn’t take any sleep after hibernating until subuh, then sleep. Again. *applause*

My adventure in pillow land ended somehow at noon. Then suddenly I got called by Raufan, he said, “Hey, Daniel’s celebrating his birthday by treating us in Pizza Hut here, You come??”. OMGWTFBBQ, I didn’t knew that the ‘traktiran’ was that day…

Despite my health that wasn’t fully healed yet, I rushed to Margo City anyway, hohoho… :-)   sickness such as these won’t stop me from a FREE LUNCH, especialy at PIZZA HUT *drools*

The lunch was okay, but there’s some stupid things I’ve done after we finished eating. I PLAYED PUMP at TimeZone…. (FYI: “PUMP” I mentioned here is some sort of dancing game like DDR)

JUST AS PLANNED, I got tired… My stomach hurts, my head aches. I did’nt know why.

But, the misery was not just ended there, there’s still one thing happened. Probably the most Important things of that week. But maybe i won’t share it here just like that. It’s a complicated thing… Let’s just say that I somehow got a conversation that ended not well, and I have to do something that I did’nt even imagine I’d do in the next day…

Wednesday:

Considering the event from the day before, I can hardly sleep because of it. I remembered that I stay up until subuh, then sleep for just about 2 hours.

Let’s just say that it feels like, “You MUST go to a BATTLE, a WAR, which you know for sure that you WILL NOT WIN AT ALL… ” Oh God it was so awesome…

Knowing that, I did go anyway. And the result is of course JUST AS PLANNED. I FAIL.

But somehow I feel a little WIN because after all I still have the courage to do that..^^ I feel relieved.

Thursday:

I did what most people around me would call it as: “BOLOS”.

Yeah, I HIBERNATE ALL DAY. AGAIN. Because suddenly I got a fever again.

Friday:

I also Skipped some class. Brilliant. I get to campus after Friday noon prayer(”Sholat Jumat”) at MUI.

That day was the deadline of our OS group assignment. I really felt bad because I did’nt contribute anything for my group. So I talked to some of the members, and it turned out that I can’t help them after all. Because that day I have to contribute myself for UI Robotics team, considering we will face the contest in just a week away I have to say sorry to Aji, Dwi, randy, etc…

So I go to TRUI Robotic Room at the Engineering Center. FYI, I am positioned at AI division and worked in the “Legged Robot Category” team. With faris, our team leader and Lasguido(2008) I spend the night there…. for awesomely 3 days and 2 nights… Engineering a Legged robot is reeeealy troublesome. Even tough it’s nothing compared to Alvis in Expert Division who looked wtf-ly stressed and almost didn’t sleep for the entire day… frekin’ awesome…

Saturday:

Yea, I didn’t get any sleep since the day before. stucked there in a room filled with a bunch of awesomely MANLY things, such as drill, saw, soldering iron, tool kit, eletrical parts, and many other things which I didn’t even know what it is used for. Sometimes I feel like a crew of MythBusters or something similar… hohoho

We, the AI division crew of the Leggedrobot team(whoa, I liked how it sounds^^) worked our legged robot like hell. The development wasn’t so well until the sun finally rises. There’s still some parts in the robot that needed to be relaced and installed. And we still have a lot of algorithm to code. A moment later after subuh, our fatigue had left us in a peace sleep…. in a robotic MAZE. Yeah, you’ll want to taste how it’s like to sleep in a MAZE, so awesome.

There’s me, Faris, and Lasguido sleeping after we had no idea what to code anymore.

Yeah, We didn’t traverse maze. We SLEEPS in them.

Blame those morons who just had no other things to do beside taking that photo…

Anyway, we slept until noon. Then… we continued to working our robot again until afternoon, then I went back to my kost room to sleep a bit and took a bath. (yea, if you could consider sleeping for about 6 hours is “a bit”) Then I head back to that awesome room in the late night.

Sunday

It was sunday. And yeah, we were still code that silly six-legged-madness-made-of-acrylic.

What I realized is, it is sometime kinda amusing AND disturbing to code robot for contest. The coding result is not determined by just the “software”. It is decided by the ACTUAL condition on the field. Let’s says it is like…

What I code:

while(1){

go_forward();

}

What I expected:

It would go swiftly straight...

It would go swiftly straight...

What I got:

Yeah, Accidents DOES happen

Yeah, Accidents DOES happen

Something like that..

whatever, suddenly I did’nt feel good that afteroon, so I went home first while Faris was still doing his job. In my kost room, I fell down straight to my heavenly bed. Sleep. I think I may catch some cold again this time…

Well, I think that’s all I wanted to write about that awesome week. It’s a rather long post for someone who has abandoned his blog for almost a year, isn’t it..? :-)

~I hope I will continue to write here regularly….

Some Sort of “Reborn”..

NOOOOES...!!!

Finally… I UPDATED MY BLOG!! (is this even supposed to be something awewsome?)
I changed template, ‘get rid’ of all the old posts, and hopefulli starting a new one :-)

Also, I was retarded enough to take 10000++ hours on Inkscape+GIMP to make that lame header up there…

So, Just consider this post as a new “Hello World” post, lol
