yea late update for the 5th MICSS Science Camp (1st June~5th June)
frankly, its not as fun as the previous year...
some un-fun points i have to point out:
- no hostel ( lol ok its not the main point)
- originally, they grouped the "groups" with almost all the students from the SAME SCHOOLS =.= this is wth totally stupid... in the end we discussed bout it and decided to rearrange all the groups with students from diff schools
- the activities are too rank-based... why? the creative poster design this year is totally ruined... not 5 persons in 1 group anymore... its the same 2-in-1, same school, like other activities..... wth...
- the seminar topics.... were too wide.... in the end, not very detailed
- yup, and stargazing again.. for 2 nights... how boring is this
- boring astronomical video clips (in malay <--- totally stupid)
- ok again, the creative poster design, totally screwed, some of them thought they hav to draw a poster to advertise this camp, which is totally wrong =.=.... the instructions were not given clearly... only those we told them how to draw did it correctly. and wad's more disappointed was, all the professors gone back at the last day, which means the final round's marking was not really that professional.... and no comments were given....
- another thing, some of the goups din write the details on their poster cause they thought they'll be explaining beside their poster(like last year), but it wasn't!!! wth... the judges glanced through the posters by their own and only listen to the explanations of the groups that were qualified to the next round..... ok... this is really..... speechless... how worst can this get...... i actually loved this part the most, but seeing wad happened this year, i was sickened...
- yeah and another sucking thing, the questioned chosen for the talk-with-the-experts section was totally unprofessional.... yeah most of them..... real stupid.... and i saw better questions.... dunno wad the judges were thinking =.= (for eg. "do you think aliens exist" <--- can you believe its chosen? and "wad do you think will happen to the universe in the future" <---- omg =.= was it a question for the topic... or was it some kinda gossiping for the professor's personally opinion)
alright..... there were tons of space for improvements
anyway, the good part is, everyone got a pendrive, yeah everyone... though its only 1 GB
and i got 4 posters =.=, another extra T shirt, a headscarft, and 3 red pens =.=
well, there were some good news after i went to the camp:
- my papa sms-ed me the first day around 1600 that he received my NUS ASEAN scholarship's offer letter... and i was kinda shocked... din see it coming... since the outcome suppose to be out at end of june??? and when i checked the date which it was mailed, it was 30th of May (3 days after my interview) omg... maybe my bribing-with-my-envelope-strategy worked O.O or maybe its because the outcome for ME faculty is earlier? who knows. anyway, i found a discussion thread on the recom forum, bout nus ASEAN scholarship... anyone interested, here's the link: http://www.recom.org/forum/showthread.php?t=8320
- ok another good news was, the next day after i came back from the camp, an iso loader (custom firmware loader actually) for chickhen R2 released... pirates are back to psp again yea.... =.=
good luck for others who are pending their ASEAN outcome.... cheers =)
