REFLECTIONS!!!! :D

I believe that this is an enriching experience for all of us. Personally, before i attended this sabbaticals, i have never heard of the terms like microprocessors, hexadecimals, binary system, etc. Most of the things that the professors covered during the past four days were new to me.
An example would be programming the microprocessor using assembly language, something that i never would have thought i will do. It was quite an accomplishment for us when we had succeeded in installing the correct programme into the microprocessor and getting the desired outputs.

I am quite glad that i had chosen this project as i believe that all these stuff will not be taught in school and not something that will be found in the textbooks.

After these five short days, i feel that i have a greater understanding of how digital objects around us work now. In the past, i will take things like the computer, handphone and even the washing machine for granted. I will never be bothered to try to understand how they work and I never thought deeper than their functions. Now, i have begun to appreciate them more.
