3-in-1

yes this is an update of my life.

the next month of Saturdays will be rather crazy ones. 3 classes of tuition in each of them. well, yes i got a new tutee at long last. good and bad. good would be, after PSLE, i will still have this student to teach and earn a little pocket money to live by the following months of 2017. bad would be, traveling across three different estates in Singapore and giving tuition with minimal amount of rest. gosh.. may i survive this one month.

weekends are meant to rest, i know. apparently my definition of rest is just not to touch school work. so yeah.. Saturday is dedicated to tuition then Sunday would be my personal time.. and right now, the only day i get to sleep in apart from Wednesdays. well, come to think of it, i prefer to really make full use of weekdays to settle school work so on my free Wednesdays i would soon encourage myself to wake up early and make full use of the entire day. until next time then, cheers.

tons of papers

yes this is an update of my life.

time seemed to fly by in this first week and it is not a good sign. if the slackest week passes by so quickly, how will it be when i reach those weeks where more time is needed to clear personal tasks and what not?

anyway, been easing into the final year slowly i guess.. really slowly. still in the play mode for now. just attended Student Life Fair as well. then, reality hit me.. this will be the last Student Life Fair that i will be enjoying. my last chance to grab all the freebies NUS and the sponsors have to offer. this is where age has caught up on me.. being kiasu.. okay, and maybe a little of auntie-ism. nonetheless, so far so good, i am enjoying my first week. i have not touched anything on other modules, except for one. that's right, FYP module ST4199.


still waiting for my FYP supervisor to reply me and hand me the few datasets that i have to deal with for the course of the project. in the meantime, i have been spam reading tons of papers. i laugh at how my initial idea of printing every important papers to read. thank goodness i did not feed to that OCD trait when it comes to this or my table would be like the picture above.

so yeah, been reading a lot of papers on literature review pertaining to my topic of research and also the various statistical methods and approaches. it will be a real struggle but i am glad i am given the opportunity to tackle an individual FYP. until next time then, cheers.
