Back to Usual Work

And a really hectic few weeks had passed with me preparing materials, teaching and arranging for other speakers, in a class of secondary school student an introduction signal processing. It was also my first ever attempt in teaching a class of students (other than 2) with completely zero programming experience how to program in Python.

While exhausting, I had a great time with the students and I definitely think that I could do a far better job in teaching. Perhaps I will make available my teaching materials here after some tidying up.

Rewarded myself, and my dear, with a relaxing weekend together for walk in an old, to-be-torn-down estate in Toa Payoh, with one of the last few sand pit playgrounds and the assembly of my first RC airplane!

An Engineer's Rant

I had been furious this month, and accompanying it came some cynical laughter at certain failures. (I know I shouldn't laugh. I'm reflecting on it..)

Slow down, do more, walk further.

Doing too much in a rush today could just mean that you'll have to rush more in the future.

Quality should come from within, not as an external requirement. Knowing the quality evaluation process, we can always package crap in an air-tight container for the QA to prod, but when exposed to the real world, it would probably blow up in your face.

Random rants I hope project managers will take seriously :s Or perhaps this is the wrong 'big picture'.
