Every hour lasts 60 minutes. But not all hours are really equal. Sometimes those 60 min will pass almost unnoticed while I am racing thru work, "in flow". Sometimes those 60 min will drift away while I surf the internet.

I think the really critical hour, though, is the first one of our day! Friends and I had discussed bout this last night after dance practice. Bad days tend to start off poorly. Perhaps you overslept, or skip breakfast, or decide not to work out AGAIN. But if we get to start off well, its relatively easy to keep going. Conversely, if I spend the first hour of my day bogged down in trivia or rushing to catch up, I may well find myself getting more and more behind. The day rushes on...or DRAGS..and at the end of it, I dont feel much sense of satisfaction.

What we'd done everyday is important, because we are exchanging a day of our life for it. Everyone seems to be really occupied with assignment, presentation, final year project and final exams. I did not have a weekend. But it was definitely a good working one.

Turned up to a visitation trip to Q-Cells production floor, organized by MESCORP. Q-Cells manufactures crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells while First Solar produces CdTe Cadmium Telluride PV. and I'd attended a talk given by engineers from Q-Cells on "Characteristics and Fabrication of Solar Cells" at NMES lab. Overall, its a fruitful morning to have a visit there :)
