Hey all

wow it's been a while .. hope you're all doing great !

sooo many things have been going on here lately .. especially last month .. it was really a great month ..
it was so crazy, almost every week we had an activity or a project to prepare for .. but the major one was when my friends and i participated in the IEEE open day - an event that is held every year and all universities in the UAE participate in contests and projects & stuff like that.. this year it was held in the AUD .. and we ended up winning the 2nd place in our category .. which is really funny because the minute we walked into the projects hall & saw the other competing projects .. we seriously considered quitting .. we thought we had no chance to win & we'd may end up embarrassing ourselves ..
it was our first time ever to participate in such thing & we didn't expect it at all !!
here'our entry (or a part of it) [link] .. it's a mechanical chain reaction .. it was so much fun working on it & trying to find ideas ..
two teams of my university won also in different (& more serious ) categories !!

i also got myself a new camera last month .. Sony H50 .. it's nice .. i'm still learning how to use it
oh and my poor laptop is down .. the LCD screen is damaged & needs to be replaced .. i was working on it one day and then suddenly the colors of the screen started to change & the left portion of it was off (or maybe burned ) ..

& yesterday was the last day in my finals too .. so i'm all free now .. okay not totally but for the next 20 days only .. after that i'll have my training .. & then leave to Algeria for my vacation nshAllah ..

i'm really glad to finally have some rest .. and a chance to check dA again .. just like in the old times

i'd like to say to all my dear friends and watchers here on dA .. if i didn't reply to your notes, messages or deviations .. i'm sorry .. i'll do my best to catch up with what i missed ..

oh & thank you all for the +10,300 page views .. it really means the world to me !!

That's all for now ..

cheers
