MATLAB lecture day....feet washing

Today was great(obviously!), had to wake up early, though i had slept for about 7hours. imagine when i have project report to write. I just crashed last night. anyways, i woke up early, went to the reading room to prepare for the MATLAB lecture i was to make. Hmm, cudnt just concentrate, needed some information online. This i could get by going over to the departmental building to work...i did leave and went off to have my bath, then got set for the WHITE House(abeg, white house is the departmental building). Started preparing for the lecture. created the sketch and made it all out but you know wat, even though i was gonna be talking about what i had been working on for the past 1 year, i was a bit nervous and didnt want to start it. went up to the lab, saw the coordinator wasnt there, left. went back again, left. then i got a call." we are expecting you".  Lets leave that side sha. it was fantastic. had a great time talking about MATLAB; the Wavelet toolbox; Neural netwo...

25th June, 2012..Nomination for workshop

I'm the wierdest human being alive, I know(abeg, I am unique..hmm, that's it). I also love God. I love his word. It has this energy that comes with it. I'm also the happiest human being alive(my opinion, choose yours). Anyway, maybe cos of the good gist i got today. I was invited for a creative writing workshop to be sponsored by Fidelity bank. I've always had this inkling for writing but never really pursued it outside my diaries. just like this that you are reading. Its sweet doing this at least or some minutes of my day. but then, some people feel "Is it that you were bored that you had to type all that went on in your day"....My people, No. I just find out that i love doing it. and I do it. Talked with her today and I got this "i dont care" attitude from her and you know for the first time, i wasnt a bit bothered but then, its like I'm so hyper that nothing could bring me down(maybe its the I.V. i got or the positive thinking book i've ...

Last Sunday of June 2012.

The last Sunday of the month of June 2012. Decided not to do the long trip today. Instead, chose to worship at a church closeby. Had to do some work back home. Miss the home church though. Service was fun(though I got there late, but just before the message). I went with dad. Mum went with the other crew to igbosere church. There was smth amazing they did today after the message, while welcoming guest/new comers. They asked for everyone's name and where they came from. And you know what...they found someone in church who understood their dialect to greet them with it. There were about 7 people and I was expecting that they wouldn't find someone to greet one of the visitors in their dialect but woooooo! They had it all in church even though it was a small church(numbering around 120+). It got weirder When they recongnised some people visiting and called my dad and I...from Lagos island church...hmm..kunle o...I stood up and waved..as those people always do naa. Came back home....

No point at all..

No point at all has to do with worries. Everything can never go bad in your life. There will always be something to give thanks for. I had a great day yesterday but i did something. I've got a friend who i saw this last wknd and she told me abt her tooth that was to be filled and somehow i wanted to check up on her a day later but didnt till two days later and you know wat, I typed it on her fb wall instead of her inbox(my bad!)......and you know wat, she took it in the most friendly manner ever.she even "liked" it. I remebered i mad a mistake about 4hours later but it was too late.  great to have a friend like her. Hmm. wats up for today?. Paid the NAPTIN fee. Should start getting ready for some Power training by Sept '12. Got to get back to typing, shud finish the report before thursday close of day.

Why worry?

There was no point. All i needed was just sort it out and know where to go from there. I'm a little proud (I know and its needed everywhere). Guess she needed some space and she got it. I'm good with her. Just thinking of  work. I sort of hate having to make notes on certain topics.  I love the practical work and writing about them but when it comes to doing the abstract, I take a while before i get into full gear. having to write on Hypothesis testing and Classification techniques.....not that hard. need to get in the mood.

Worried!

What a day! Its been a week since i posted last. You know why? I think i had a fall out (not sure though). I cudnt just understand why i wasnt getting any replies from her. I then thought for a while and i got a clue to it. i had been sort of possesive. Always around her and not giving her much space to breath which i feel has started making me look ......what's the word to use here(you could help me complete that). whew! The zeal to keep typing this has gone down a bit. But I'll continue. She's been home for the weekend and I decided not to call(Give her some space, my head says). It hasnt been easy. had to leave my phone back at the room (on silent) so i wouldnt get any ideas of callin or trying to reach out to her. I've got work to do but the feeling was more like..I'm thinking of her every second and could create time to visit or do something for her.. Right now, I'm busy working. Work , work, work...so i can get out of the normal world. yeah, she's...

Monopoly

Played a game last night. Monopoly we call it. but it's different when you play it with someone you love. I lost though. and I did big big time. I wasn't lenient at all. was building and building but it didnt just work out in my favour. prior to that, I enjoyed eating dinner....yea, she cooked it and it was delicious(obviously, that's what you'd expect). 

Follow the dream.....or make some money

I have a choice before me. this isnt going to be long. it a career thing. Ther's so much hype these days about the oil and gas sector with the fat salaries. I've not got the choice yet but i'm in a path having applied to some of them and wanting to follow a dream of helping building the power sector of the nation(500KMW) and Africa at large. If i get the call and offers, Do i take it? .................................even with a very high pay............No. my heart says, yes, my head says and then, I'm at a crossroad........got an offer to spend a year in training at a power training institute starting from september this year and I'm like after 2 years and some months doing a master's degree. Thinking of settling down too but that can wait for 2 years....its going to be a decision....They haven't even offered me o........but then, I think I'll follow my heart.......the unknown...the dream.

MMA7260QT working!.....tears of joy

Some minutes to 1pm. It got working again. An idea came to look at the links on the break-out board and then, reduce sensitivity of the sensor as I needed a port to put the cable, then....gbam! tried it on MATLAB and there, it started working. Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm back on track, I exclaimed in the lab... All eyes on me(didnt mind)........gave two guys a hug ..................and then went out to sing my "I'll praise you in the good and the bad' song....yea, i cried. it was working again, even though the sensitivity of the sensor has been reduced. Thank You, Lord. Now lets see how i can reschedule a meeting with the physiotherapist.............learnt a lesson...........Whatever you face, no matter how bad, do not worry. It's all going to work out somehow. Say some "All izzz well" to yourself like 20 times. I did it. Not that it worked but i had some cause not to think too deep on my challenge.

MMA7260QT's SLP pin goes bad...or so I thought

What a day! I don't know the extent of what i've done. Here I am still battling with a project i should have concluded 4 months. Thanks to some travels by my supervisor and some lack of information on my part. Just this morning working by 2am, i was soldering the MMA7260Qt accelerometer and that was it.... I peeled off the metal part that enable you solder a metal to the board. how am I going to go further? I was supposed to be at the physiotherapist"s place by 10am....Never mind, the issue aint with me. I was supposed to get acceleration readings based on the Centre of Mass of the body from some patients with certain conditions either neurological, hemiphlegic and so on...... Haaaa! frank edwards on the background and I am thinking what the hell am i gonna do. the playlist went off to baba Adeboye and the title of the message was "God has a purpose for your life"... I cudn't just touch it.....but then he said something that kinda consoled me....."Eve...

Church boy!...April 15, 2012

We are all writers in some way. As long as we can think. even if it aint productive. As we pass through life, we create lessons that the world can learn from. yes, some good, others bad but there's always something to learn. What a day! (April 15, 2012) I'm a church boy. I've known that for a while now. That's my charging point. There are times I feel weighed down, not just me(the normal me), and then after the church service, I'm all this whoo whoo whoo. Today, a sunday and its been  4 or 5 weeks I went to my home church last. As usual, service was great but then with a new dimension. Let's start from the beginning. As usual. maybe not usual but most times, there'll be something to look for that will make the others wait for me at the car(i get to drive them to church). Mum already waiting in the car, my sisters, Tunde ans seun who came to spend the weekend. Anyway, I got to the car and off we went for service. If you have to attend church at a locat...

Birthday...18th may

A Day to remember at Ile-Ife. Clocking 26. I clocked 26 today. Not a different feeling compared to that of yesterday. I just know deep down that a lot more needs to be taken. its a special day though(a whole kunle anjorin was born). Started the day with a lovely lady(we had been talking for about 3 hours or more before 12am). We talked into the day. She wished me a happy Birthday first and gave me a warm Happy Birthday Hug before we left each other some minutes later. She walked to her room and I to mine. When i reached the corridor to my floor, i didnt want to go into the lonely room(my roomates were away). I just sat on the floor and then i got up, walked back to the car park and then towards the gate with a mind of taking a walk and brooding but something deep inside said Stop, go back. And i did. I walked back through the car Park to my room but didnt go in. I then thought of praising or thanking God(something I did last year) I did this for a while not minding my friends w...
