A Grateful Engineer

I have just come back from a prayer meeting in NTU. It has been a while for me not having such a great time praising and worshipping my wonderful God. I came to the prayer meeting with so many things inside my head. I have just cleared my final examination as an undergraduate and completed my final presentation for the degree. I am unofficially a BACHELOR... yeah a bachelor with so many things in his head...

"William Kangdra B. Eng"

Although I have finished most of the necessary stuffs of my academic life, there are still so many things that I have to work on... career, fiancée finance, business, friends or a place for living. All this things distracted me from being thankful of all that I have received during this past few months. And... truly the prayer meeting with the theme of thanksgiving is just a perfect reminder to me.

Here are some of the great events that I should be grateful for:

1. Completed my last examination as an undergraduate in NTU. Definitely there is still room for improvement but I guess I have done my best for all the papers. During the exam preparation process itself I learnt a lot of new things. I meant beside the technical knowledge. Hint: it’s about belief, perseverance and compromise.

My Last paper: MP4010

2. Finished my FYP presentation. I really thank Prof Heng for helping me so much during the presentation and inspiring me throughout the year. If you asked me what is one thing that I regret in life, the thing will be I didn’t take URECA under Prof. Heng in third year. (I am kidding... I shouldn't have regretted what had happened)

My Final Year Project: Electroencephalography (Mind Controlled device)

3. I am a National Achiever Congress 2008 graduate (Thanks Benny!!!). Yeah, it is a great three days seminar. If you were reading one of my posts and thought that being a millionaire before thirty years old is a joke, I think you need to attend this congress. I have meet James and Eric in this event. They are a very motivated and programmed-to-success kind of people.

4. Makan Sutra session. It’s a free event organized by the government agency for foreign student and for me it is a very good networking session. I got to know new people like: Yos from Nigeria, Desy from Medan (my home town), Hartono from Jakarta, Victor from Malaysia (KL), and many more.

Left to right: Desy, Lele, Rica, Kadek, Sophie and a handsome guy :-p

5. I have produced a (technical) paper that was accepted to the Second International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology, i-CREATe 2008. Hence I got a chance to go to Bangkok for free. Yay!

Be grateful and all the good things will come upon you!
