yes this is an update of my life.
yeah i know practically the entire of last week there has not been any updates here. well, for a very good reason. i was sick since Tuesday night. despite so, i felt obliged to head to work. after all, the work laptop wasn't at home. so even if i wanted to work from home, i could not. then after office hours, i practically had dinner, bathe, sleep without much delay in between.
no, i did not watch my usual shows before sleeping. no, i did not catch up on my Youtube subscription videos before sleeping. no, i did not train for IPPT before sleeping. i slept on average at 9pm. yeah.. damn early but all in hope to make my body recover as soon as possible. sadly, my lifestyle did not help much so had to see the doctor later last week. now i am better.. not 100% back to health but close.
well, hopefully this sickness will be gone soon. i want to focus better in work and make full use of my evenings. so silly to spend so much time sleeping.
so anyway, tomorrow NUS students face judgement as the results will be released. i hope i can sleep.. haha. last semester, somehow or rather, i could not fall asleep early the night prior to judgement day. fingers crossed. until next time then, cheers.

the familiar split road
yes this is an update of my life.
hmm.. Mondays are bad enough to signal the start of another long ass week of waking up super early and heading home only around dinner. however, today was slightly worse. the MRT got delayed. well, yeah no those hours of delay big disruption kind, but long enough to result to me reaching office 20 minutes later than usual. the thing that surprised me is i am still early based on my contract start time. then that is when i realise i have been reaching the office super early despite walking way slower on other days. guess this is the habit of mine. dislike the idea of rushing.
work went on as per normal. okay wait no.. haha got more work and even had a false fire alarm.. haha. how eventful lol. nonetheless, still surviving well. just coding slower than i hope to be doing so. office can be a good and bad place for focused work.
in other stories, i am at yet another familiar split road of trust in a friendship. it is an event where some incident ignites the question of whether i should trust the friend of mine or not. okay, not the two extremes but rather like after today, should i trust the person less or not. hmm.. ahh well, time will reveal i guess. for now, i rather have my walls up first. until next time then, cheers.

operating system
yes this is an update of my life.
so my mind has been force to divide into two when i'm at home and at office. in the office, the laptop i use is run on Windows while at home, my laptop runs on MacOS. so the shortcuts are really different and functions are very different. now and then, i find myself caught in the confusion when using shortcuts or even navigating around the settings and what not.
however, even after two weeks of using Windows more than MacOS, i still prefer the latter. no, this is not about marketing it but rather highlighting the state of confusion and occasional annoyance i get when not using my favourite operating system. this state isn't helped especially when i am using a rather old laptop.. haha. ohh wells, just need to rant a little. until next time then, cheers.

10 days
yes this is an update of my life.
i look forward to every Fridays now.. just like i did when i worked as an intern last year. i guess this will be the life after i graduate as well. Monday starts and one tries to do his best and survive without doing silly stuff at work and cheer on Fridays.
the stress in an internship is really different from that of from a school semester. as for volume, i think that is rather difficult to quantify as well. however, i would rather stress in an internship.. or maybe work in the future. out of school, you get to do things that are full of uncertainty. unlike the scope and teaching materials of modules in school, out here people work together to handle problems and find solutions that no one cant confirm which solution is correct. we only can decide on which solution is the best given a prior knowledge.
okay, shit, i realised the last part of that sentence sounded like what someone said in a statistics lecture. well, maybe that is just my perception. i don't expect people to agree entirely anyway. and speaking of statistics, my ohh my, ten more days to the release of the past semester's results. haha.. i really don't know what to feel other than knowing i probably might not sleep well the Sunday night before. probably going to head to office half asleep on the 29th. until next time then, cheers.

new height
yes this is an update of my life.
figured i ought to do a proper update here after not doing so for the last few days. been super busy and occupied with other things. sleep pattern has changed to fit the life of an intern. and no, just because of the that title of this post is on height doesn't mean i have grown taller. i'm talking about the knowledge and experience capacity.
easing into this internship isn't exactly easy. would say it is rocky but still fruitful. people don't grow just by repeating the same things that are comfortable with or used to. people grow by stepping out of that comfort zone. well, for this case the only time i stepped out was when i applied for this internship. the rest of the roles, expectations and what not just kept pouring. while i am glad that i am learning a lot and doing something which i yearn for in an internship, all these is rather overwhelming now. stressful yet fruitful.
nonetheless, i shall continue to strive to do my best and make the best use of this 3 months. until next time then, cheers.

next 3
yes this is an update of my life.
i am actually feeling tired now. yeah.. at like 10pm haha. my body clock is not used to waking up at 6am for now. hopefully it will adjust accordingly as soon as possible. internship has started and so has my do-nothing-all-day days. i am back at using my brain and squeezing it dry almost everyday. just that now is used for real life work rather than controlled school environment.
well yeah in an internship, it isn't that much of no control as well. people do encourage you to explore and make mistakes during an internship but nonetheless, dealing with work more "serious" than school work is something that i will not risk too much as well. so thankful for this opportunity and hence i am going to make full use of it one way or another.
the next three months will be another three months of fruitful summer break. hanging in a company as an intern. though i miss the summer after year 1 where all i had was fun and no work and what not, i feel that senior years ought to be put to more good use than playing. the summer after year 1 was great with four camps and what not. the next chance to have such a break would be when i officially graduate next May. until next time then, cheers.

chick
yes this is an update of my life.
the day after the end of finals is always a nice day. waking up to no alarm, waking up to no obligation to study, waking up to no need to rush anything. of course day is a day.. having such life for more than a day would be boring for me as well. nonetheless, while i yearn for slightly longer break, next week is back to the grind.
yes, you heard me right. few weeks ago, i mentioned about not counting the chicks before they are hatched. well, one hatched so to speak.. lol. managed to confirm an internship this summer. so thankful for this opportunity and i really hope all goes well in the end. new area to explore.. something that is rather different from my previous internship last year. i look forward to the lessons and experiences for from the interview i know what is expected this time round will be much greater.
so summer began and internship secured. moving out of campus later. training for IPPT begins next week. summer here i come. until next time then, cheers.
