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.
