shadow monster

yes this is an update of my life.

time check, week 11 of semester 1 of year 4. things are not getting easier for sure. this coming few days and next week will be one hell of a hectic ride. nonetheless, i choose to remain positive and stand up from the recent blow to the face as i take on the final three weeks of the semester.

piles of submissions are mounting during these two weeks. FYP is going slightly smooth i guess.. the results churned out is a little questionable and weird but real data is as such i guess. there are bound to be limitations in a real dataset. am expected to churn out some presentation slides to present to my co-supervisor soon as well. mad rush for time but necessary i guess. would be good to obtain more insights on how this project can be carried on from where i am right now. i am also aware that i am doing slightly faster than expected hence i would say FYP is doing alright.. at least among the other modules i am reading.


on to something more light hearted.. here is a snapshot from the second season of "Stranger Things". still wondering if there will be future seasons and episodes of this show. the shadow monster sure instilled quite a fear throughout this season but slightly disappointed that it has not much screen time haha. until next time then, cheers.

brooding

yes this is an update of my life.

unfortunately, yes, i am still harping on the fact that i am on the left tail as mentioned in the previous post. going to comment a little more before moving on to something better.

about four years ago.. with a shitty A levels results i managed to got into NUS.. not by the conventional method but rather after the discretionary admission interview. till date, i still remember the anxiety as i waited for the outcome of the interview back then. upon knowing that i was accepted into NUS, i was really elated and promised myself to never be on the extreme left side of the curve. being there throughout JC and even among the applicants entering Science course in NUS have made me vow never to be there again. i wanted to work hard to prevent such things from happening.

well, it did went well as i strive to stay on the correct side for 3+ years. this recent one reminds me of where i was back in those days where grades told me i am a stupid and dumb student. therefore, it takes a little toll on me. grit, Alvin, grit. yes, i know, i have to get up soon.

moving on to better things. managed to finish binge watching season 2 of "Stranger Things". this season is definitely better than the first. the ending was better. the action was better. the plot was better. nonetheless, there are still questions unanswered and new stuff introduced.. which can be developed in future seasons. i wonder will there be any more seasons after this. either way.. even if this is the last season, i think it would not be that bad as well. you should watch. until next time then, cheers.
