Life Goes On

TL;DR

13 May 2016

Wow, it’s been quite long since the last time I updated my blog, so there are several notable points that happened since mid-March:

  • I finished the group projects of CZ4034 Information Retreival quite on time (after numerous long-meetings), CZ4041 Machine Learning quite on deadline, and CZ4046 Intelligent Agents quite well.
  • My group presented in HW0310 Professional Communication, and I was delighted to see a quite positive feedback from the tutor.
  • I submitted CE2004 Circuits and Signal Analysis lab reports, and received back the first one, with quite below average feedback.
  • I went through CZ3007 Compiler Techniques labs and quiz; and surprisingly I got a very good grade in the quiz and labs.
  • I finished a freelance task on doing a website design; and is currently occupied in doing a CRM system.
  • I went through the exams
    • CE2004: very difficult and I went blank on two subquestions
    • CZ3007: very well
    • CZ4041: quite good
    • CZ4046: not that good, I was really unsure of a whole question
    • CZ4034: quite okay
  • I will have summer internship at Titansoft, starting next week.
  • I will be moving to another room at another block in the same hall around end of next week.
  • FYP: Not much progress, I read through a paper on Assumption-based Argumentation; and then I found another paper describing what I am supposed to do: Argumentation Graph & Assumption-based Argumentation. I just started to do the implementation and hopefully everything went well.
  • Wikimania: I received a Wikimania 2016 scholarship; and after numerous email exchanges with WMF PIC on visas to obtain the documents, I applied for Italian visa, and was approved a Schengen visa

That’s the TL;DR. I realized that there are a lot of details that I can write on, but most of them are still on draft and it hasn’t been completed yet.

The Tale of Night Cycling

5 March 2016

So, it was one of NTUBS Fellowship team’s initiative to do a night cycling starting on the night of 4 March 2016 till early morning of 5 March 2016. Nice experience, but cycling aside, I think that it gave us opportunity to see what Singapore at midnight looks like. …

Coldplay at Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show

Such a short performance (~13 minutes), and yet ~4 minutes are “stolen” by Beyonce & Bruno Mars. Initially, I don’t really like it when they cut short the songs and skipping here & there. But after the show was given back to Coldplay in the end, I really love it, starting at around minute 10 they performed Clocks which transitioned into Fix You, and while on Fix You’s riff, they sang Up&Up chorus. This was really amazing. And it all ended with a grand “just believe in love”. :o :o :o
