Con Te Partirò

In many ways, it's time to say goodbye.

Over the last 2 weeks, I've been seeing freshers moving out of halls. Other Singaporeans finishing their exams and leaving either for holidaying with friends, or else just going back to sg to begin their army/air fore/dsta/astar etc. attachements. Everyone's leaving... everything's gonna come to an end.

Me? I'm not too sad. Sure I will miss London, and I still have 1 week more here. The freshers, you can see the tinge of sadness in their eyes when they moved out ... someone even weeped! I guess I have been used to leaving halls, twice already. In any case, we're all gonna go back to Singapore, and its easy to arrange meetups. I suppose, for me, it would be sadder when people start leaving for London to carry on their academic pursuit, in September.

Otherwise I foresee many foodie gatherings when I back. haha! chomp chomp. chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp.

It's been quite a while since I blogged eh? haha, well actually I've been pretty cooped up in the EE labs the past few weeks, working on the EEG project with my groupmates. Just had the presentation a couple of hours ago, and although it got rather testy with the business case, I must say we did really well for our technical presentation! (apart from my small boo boo of forgetting to plug in the channel input haha) So well done to the whole group, it has really been a wonderful experience working with everyone.

I think this EEG technology (not just the one we just made) really has very good potential. It can actually be integrated into many other items that we saw presented today, and gives wonderful benefits to users besides just simple diagnosis. Brain wave games, anyone? Some pics of us at work today ... I was the lab rat for the demonstration! haha.

EEG Project

Anyways, I went to the Muse concert at the NEW wembley stadium over the weekend. Really got blown away, they were very very solid. Matt was singing at his best, and the stadium setup was marvellous. Really made use of all the space available in the stadium for their props, which included 2 giant balloons having a gymnast spinning underneath, floating around the stadium. Kinda hard to explain in words tho, gotta see the pics for it. Easily the best gig I've been to! It's a pity they didn't play City of Delusion, which is kinda my fav Muse song of the moment. But otherwise, I was impressed with Matt's piano playing, and overall stage show of the whole gig.

I think Muse have really brought the space rock genre to a new level. Bowie may have started it, but Muse perfected it.
