| FGH Website completed |
After 14-months of hard work, the FGH Website is completed finally.
"Completed" means that the website is uploaded to the FTP successfully. Guesthouse owners' satisfaction is of no importance.
FGH website is actually a part of my FYP. This project brings me not only the chances to learn (the way of handling annoying boss), but also brings me at 4 things:
1) Competitions
Since this website is too simple for the FYP, we have to add extra features to please our supervisor. The extra technology we applied is RFID. What is RFID? I am not going to explain the theories behind since it's too complicated. An example of product applying the RFID is the Octopus Card. Clear enough, right? So how do we apply the RFID on our project? According to the City University professor, KY Lam, we "call the function" only! Fine...we can still participate in Microsoft Imagine Cup and Amway Pan-Pearl River Delta Region Universities IT Project Competition by our call function FYP~ The result of our team is:
Imagine Cup: Third round, and the judges commented that our idea is creative enough but not innovative enough. What a remarkable comment!
Amway: What should you expect from the only non-university representative of this university competition?!
Anyways, it's a good chance to experience how powerful the competitors are.
2) Adventures
The guesthouse is located at Chung King Mansions, a place I have never visited and don't want to visit anymore. The lifts of the building scared the hell out of me all the time. And there are always accidents one day before our visit, for example, a 密林 handgun was found on 2007/10/05. Besides, the General Manager of the guesthouse, Parkson Lee, is one of the "nicest" old men I have ever met. While a foreigner was bargaining the room rate with Parkson's wife, Parkson kept scolding the foreigner and ask him to get out, in CANTONESE, his action greatly widens with my horizon. However, compared with the adventure we had at Wah Yuen Building, the story at Chung King is nothing.
Wah Yuen Building is an old building as awful as Chung King Mansions. On 2008/04/10, the guesthouse owner wanted us to meet her at her home at Wah Yuen Building. She told us she lived on the 8th floor, but for a old building like Wah Yeun, 8th floor and 八樓 is different. We were confused when we entered the lift, and a man offered help voluntary. We told him we would like to go to 八樓, he pressed the button for us and laught in a strange way. After exiting the lift, we found four "1-floor-1" flats! The "1 floor 1" flats are one the right hand side while the guesthouse owner's flat is on the left hand side. When we left the guesthouse owner's flat, we were in the same lift with a "1-floor-1"...Initially CK and I didn't know she's a "1-floor-1", it's Zen telling us as he saw her leaving the flat. After the visit, we shared our horrible experience with the supervisor and he suggested we guys go ahead for the service. We replied, "Should you / the department sponsor us, we will".........
3) Holidays
We have visited the guesthouse twice during the lesson, but in our supervisor's handbook we have at least visited four times. Where is the extra two times? Well, they are converted to our holiday, such as the one on 2008/02/14, haha.
4) University place
I don't have a good examination result, but with my FYP, I can merely meet the minimum entrance requirement of university, even though I almost make no contribution in the FYP. I still obtain a good mark~ I really owe CK and Zen a big favour!
