Ask me what I know about weiqi and I’ll tell you all I know is that it’s a board game that uses black and white pieces. And that it’s a killer mind game. So when my friend came to me and asked me to play for the hall, I honestly have no idea why I …

Review of Y1S1
Mixed feelings. That is how I will describe my thoughts upon seeing my results. I wouldn’t say I did very badly, just mildly surprised by my grades. Some of the modules turned out as I had predicted, some did not. This led me to come to the conclusion – never underestimate what you think is …
The End of Y1S1
In my previous post, I hoped for a manageable last paper. In a way, that was somewhat true. Perhaps it was the last paper for this semester, or perhaps it was the fact that I tried my best and gave it all I had, I came out of the exam hall feeling quite relieved. Although …
November is Ending
Time seems to be on drugs, speeding by ever so fast. The one week study break is over and in two days time I will be taking a major exam for the first time in 2.5 years. It’s almost as if I had forgotten what it was like to be a student. What I have …
What Sorcery Is This
### All my life, I have believed that the world runs on a fixed set of rules. Something simple, elegant and makes sense. Like 1 + 1 = 2. Or gravity makes an apple fall on someone’s head. So, by the same set of rules, I would assume that in the context of a student, …
The Egg Experiment
Some time back, I was considering whether it was possible for me to buy a pack of eggs and finish them all in 5 days. No more waking up in the morning and contemplating what to have for breakfast. Just eggs. After all, eggs can be considered a superfood, given their high nutritional value. Furthermore, …
Burning Out
This is just the second week of the first ever semester of my university life. Perhaps its the adjustment phase, or that my brain has been hibernating for too long. Faced with the pile of lecture notes, online lectures and tutorials, I feel like I’m reading Greek! When I received my timetable, I found out …
MAE Camp
Went for the orientation camp organised by the school. My roommate who is also in the same camp kindly offered to send there. No way I would be there by the required reporting time of 8am otherwise. Journey to the School I never expected to reach pulau ntu on time. Even more so when my …
July 2016
Server Down? It has been quite some time since my last post. I originally planned to write an update mid July, however when I tried to login to my site, I kept getting the timeout error. So I gave up, thinking that the server is experiencing issues again. However, when I returned the next day …
May 2016
May is the only month, other than February, to have a less than 5 day work week. For me at least. Now that the workload is down to more than manageable levels, I find myself more breathing room. For the first time in months, I am finally able to spare a little time on my …
