3 memorable years in uom come to an end…

About Me, Academics, Articles & News, Blogging World, General, Leisure & Fun July 12th, 2007

After the huge success of my post about Internet Service Providers in Mauritius, today i will post about those 3 years(2004-2007) , which have unfortunately come to an end…

With the provisional results that were published on last friday, many of us are now looking for full time jobs while others are looking for parti time ones, while completing their remaining modules and also, some already working right now. Each of us, will be walking on separate paths as from now, except if we work together of course (bizin sipporte zotte encore, lol )

The First day in uni as if, it was yesterday…
The 16th august 2004, on the first day of our first semester at The University Of Mauritius.
As instructed on the Orientation Day(held a few days before), most of us went directly to the Phase I Building, Faculty Of Engineering, except some of us who already had some friends in the group, like Splash and me.
We met in front of the Auditorium and then, went to our first lecture, by a lecturer, who succeeded in fooling us by bringing some old computer parts in the lecture, which made most of us think that the module will make us learn how to assemble computers!
grrr!
In this module, we spent the rest of the year, connecting wires and leds or solving binary problems!

In the following week, i made myself some friends, like the first ones were jaya, mantasha, vissen i think so. We exchanged our phone numbers and from then, we formed our own CSE Executive Group with about 15 of us, hanging around together all the time !

Initially 50 on the first day, the class quickly grew smaller down to 40 at the end of 1st year, and down to 28, at the end of this 3rd year.
Still, i think only about 15-20 will be graduating this year, and good luck to all those who still have 1 year to enjoy themselves :D

During those 3 years, we did study but we enjoyed a lot ( more than u can imagine ) and most of these moments, have been added in our cse blog, which i created some weeks after we started our bsc (hons) computer science and engineering course.

We celebrated a lot of birthday parties “avec les moyens du bord”,

Drank a lot ( including water of course) and without forgetting “prend nissa r camarades” (more at the bottom)

Designing and Constructing bridges (sa kant fini boire :P )

Without forgetting the day were some of us fell into the water!

also, a lot of group work (starting one day before deadline), lot of class work, distributing parts of each number to everyone.

In our first year, Some of the most important points/events were

  • The famous BMX Cycle of Mr Azagen

  • Our UNO or parties de cartes in the Common
  • The false “alerte a la bombe”
  • Our visit to Lake Point (Patinoire)

  • Change of our Form master, lol, na, we call it course coordinator here in uni!
    From mr Ramdanee to mme Baichoo
  • Birthday parties of pizon, vissen, myself, mantasha and zainab
  • Our first formal presentation, which was fun!
  • The start of our “cascade parties”

Next came the 2nd year memories, among which

  • Dieheart (Vicks) making his entry into our corome!
  • more Birthdays: azagen, dhota.
  • Badminton craze

  • CSE (yashvin, vissen, jaya, mantasha, sandra and geshwin) In newspapers

  • Holi celebrated by geshwin
  • Group work @ vissen’s place
  • CSE working for galaxy
  • Visit to Infotech 2005
  • and Me, getting a girlfriend (shuuuuut), LOL :shy: following hi5 craze

and finally, the 3rd year;

  • Kunal’s BD and his Departure to canada (finally, il etait temps!)
  • Visit to Le Morne beach

  • having fun in networks lecture

  • Project :D, looking for partners, choosing title, starting the work, doing the project documentation, software, developing, debugging, debugging and debugging, did i say debugging?
    Then submitting and doing the final year project presentation
  • and so much memories here, as if it was yesterday, writing memories on kunal’s souvenir tshirt!

During all these years, just to mention, a few quotes

  • Jean la neuf sa? Non, fek aster!
  • On phone:
    “Bonjour, je m’appelle J.K, je vous ai telephoner TALERE LA”
    waaahhahahahaha
  • moulton or samou (lol, thats me!)
  • Ki lere la?
    5 roupies !
  • Kot slow?

Well, thats all from my part, the post is pretty long,

ya, the results preview is very cool.
u can listen to the song before downloading it, using its own web based player, which i suppose is of Ajax, just like its rating system.

U can also make it more handy by adding it to your firefox…

Final Year Project Presentation

About Me, Academics, Articles & News, General June 15th, 2007

finally, the day was here….
the day that most of us were awaiting since so long…

I woke up much earlier than usual, 530am, to get ready in time, and prepare everything i needed for the day.
ene coup aspirateur dan loto, ya, got the permission to take the car out to uni, special day, took a bath, met zoli chemise, cravate + pantalon and left home at about 730.

i reached uni at about 9hrs, after having met my swthrt n drove her to work(wai normal, pu ammene li popom imper, ine gagne loto).

Once in the lab (special thanks to all the lab attendants), i started to set up my own network, using my laptop, Vicky’s Laptop and his switch…
we were later joined by Splash and Etech(Azagen) with their laptops.

It was a pleasant atmosphere, not much stress, we were al joking and pulling the legs of our friends koz each one of us had different names, according to our laptops;

  • Dual Core (Vicky)
  • Dual Core 2 (Splash)
  • Celeron (Etech)
  • P4 (me)

again, big thnks to Vicky, Splash and Etech for helping me in my project demo.

Some mins after, our group grew bigger with the arrival of other friends, and last but not the least, my project partner, Sandra(late as usual for the past 3 yrs)

better late than never :P

we then, tested our software for a last time, still correcting some minor bugs and we carried out a draft presentation, in the lab itself…

At about 1115, we moved to room C, where i installed my laptop and my bluetooth :P

this was nice!
i used my mobile phone as a remote control to control my power point presentation. thus, no need to stand near the keyboard and press the keys at each time.

At about 1130, Our project Supervisor (Mr Pavaday) and our examiner (Mr Baichoo) showed up…
we immediately started our presentation which lasted for some 20 mins.

The Presentation went on smoothly and so was the demo, during which, all of our 3 software, managed to work correctly, giving 200% of themselves, without crashing or causing any errors… :D

us-front.jpg

that was our work, carried out for months!

well thats from our point of view…

after our presentation and that of our friends, we moved to Caudan where we ordered some pizza (wi mo koner, again! )

the traditional pic goes as follows :P

finally before leaving Caudan abt about 4pm, we had an interesting photo session…

The whole series of pictures can be viewed from my photo album…again, i wish to thank all those who offered their help and assistance during this project…
without u, it would have been impossible to do the project (kidding sa :P )

Friends, it was a pleasure for the last 3 yrs to have been together and now its time, for some of us to leave the university (hope i will be in this batch, with no resits) but however, we wont ever forgot those moments, that will remain memorable…
[kouma dire mo p ekrire essay :S ]

leave u here, hope to get your comments in this post…
