fyp

FYP: officially stands for Final Year Project. Unofficially stands for Final Year Punishment, Find Your Project, Find Your Professors. Fxxk you, pervert.

A few weeks ago some of us were busy looking at the list of projects, tossing coins or otherwise to pick our choices of FYP. Some even suggested writing a C programme with sorting algorithm and what-not. What some of my coursemates said about "find your professors" was quite true. After hearing from many sources, the wise thing to do is to choose the professor, not the project. You can choose the best of project which you dreamed of ever since you were inside your mother's womb, but if the professor, well, can't click with you, then too bad. I've heard enough stories about some professors.

Even putting aside the human factor, choosing the project wasn't easy, especially for those enrolled in specialization. Those not in any specialization have free choice in the menu, but those like me have to choose projects within the specialization. From my observation, offshore oil and gas technology (OOGT) had it bad.

The allocation is tomorrow, let's hope everyone get their favourite project, if not favourite professor.
