Past few days have quite a few activities going on.

Got back my result, didn't get the result i wanted but at least still good for me to sustain the result for 3 years perhaps.

Recent things I done:

1.Work for 2 days as traffic surveyor. Quite a slacking job found online and intro some of my friends. Sitting at one corner counting cars in/out of carparks

And gotten my salary from the job. At least had some money to spend on gatherings and upcoming trip at Manila.

2. Going back school to prepare for WRO

Discussing about the trip with the lecturer and we have decided to stay one more night at Manila for some sightseeing and shopping. Have to pay ourself for the extra night due to some reasons. Spending past 2 weeks modifying the robot which sort of broke local competition timing but international timing yet far from breaking it. Next week will be quite intense as got to learn how to build it in less than 1 hour.

International competition have to build and program the robot on the competition day itself, which local competition yet to build it on the spot before.

To add on, surprise rule will be added one night before. Sound intense :)

3. Gatherings.

This week like having three gatherings. DPA gathering which had Japanese Steamboat, class 4/4 "poly" gathering which had ice cream feast and 2/1 poly gathering at Seoul Garden. Cost me a bomb but long time have not catch up with lots of people. Esp some 4/4 people.

In poly for me, it's like lots of decision making have to be done.

Just received the email regarding about Worldskills (PC Networking) Team recruitment. Don't know should I join if I got selected by the lecturer in charge which i believe I may have higher chance of getting due to some internal reasons.

If I join, I get to learn everything inside out about computer which interests me, Operating system (esp on Windows server 2008, Linux and Opensource), how to setup server and do wiring for many routes to servers, learning how to do security for network and computer etc etc which i wanted to learn. Also get to take CCNA certification exam and with that, i can get into related industry with good starting pay and job prospect.

But I have to sacrifice my ITP (Industrial Training Programme) during Year 2 Sems 2 for Worldskills Training which does not relate to my course at all. Perhaps it may when i chose Computer module as my elective during my year 3.

Let's hope the chance drop to me as the training cost like 5 figures amount when learning externally and in Worldskills training, it cost me nothing in the team and more time to learn. Also, they only select like less than 10 people from the entire cohort.

After WRO, another decision making have to be made again. Should I work for the company as freelance trainer or just decline the offer.

If there's a MCQ question about decision making, I would prefer a question with 4 options rather than a question with 2 options.

4 option question:

If it is the right choice, I will be very happy as i got the 25% chance right

If it is the wrong choice, I still can blame at the 75% to get it wrong

2 option question which usually yes/no true/false Go for it/Wait for it type of question:

If it is the right choice, I won't be that happy as i only had 50% to get it right, or maybe pure luck?

If it is the wrong choice, i cant blame on the 50% to get it wrong, blame myself for not choosing the right choice, or maybe my own luck?

Is there such thing as life risk calculator. Which help to analyze every single decision u made at the crossroad?
