Project

Finally all Project is over!

Today we presented our final project, EAIPJ( Enterprise Application Project). Everyone was very tired due to having burn midnight oil for a number of days , thus the presentation was unsynchronized and no prepared. But thank Mr lee our Project tutor. He called me a few hour ago and ask me to discuss with the group and choose a representative to present our project for distinction. So we agreed on Nicholas. So good luck Nicholas get a Distinction!

I have learn a lot from this project. Although our project is not that fantastic, pretty simple, I feel proud about it. It taught me many things from leadership ( though i am not the leader) and teamwork, maybe because we are developing a strategy game for a project.

So Why is building a developing a game so different from other project?
Developing a game is not very difficult nor very easy! For example if i want to attack an enemy i need calculate my troop attack. Calculation is not easy e.g u need check if u have enough pilot to drive the plane. include morale of army and other stuff to get your attack number, compare it with defense calculation of the enemy. So all this Logics is done by Abao and Chen Lei. Whereas i in charge of linking the flow and calling out the logics. There u see all our parts are interlink. So teamwork is necessary if example Abao or Chen lei cant come up with logic or cant finish, i learn not to sit there wait and blame each other but help them out, figure the logic do certain parts. Teamwork! Also after so much tedious process as seen above "attacking enemy" it only resulted in 1 web page. 1 web page - 3 person! So who is to present the web page? Me the person linking the flow an doing UI ? or Abao who did all back end logic? Who should gain the credit? Cant come up with an answer? Actually i learnt it doesn't matter who present or who did most of the part or who did the most difficult part. Its a matter of we finish the project, we made it happen, not I finish the project. I think this is something i learn this semester perhaps because the fact that how hard i work i wont get a GPA 3.5 as my grade are to low,but this make me realize how important a team is, e.g even if i really did many parts put in more effort w/o them this project would be another simple ordinary project and not the project i proud about now. Although Sometime my teammate do irritate me like not coming for me meeting asking me to give up sarcastically.

So thanks my teammate Abao, Nicholas, Chen Lei and Boon Siang. Be proud!

Also I got my NS enlistment letter

I have learn trust myself more than my teammates
Secondly nvr believe in going home then continuing doing. Cause it will nvr happen at least its hard for me to continue doing my work in my comfort zone (home) than in school. Thirdly last minute work sux. although i manage to finish java and Mr law nvr say a thing but having stay all night up to do it is horribly life draining. I rather its done in a month than in a few nights.
Also i would like to thank Nicholas as he always reliable, completing work on time and assignment given to him. W/o him finishing java was impossible.
