This week I focused on BU8201 Business Finance quiz, which turned out to be good, and then welcome April by the annual and universal April Fool event. The rest of the week can be said to be the unproductive one, where many time was killed by playing games, browsing around the web, etc. …

This week is filled up with many activities, most of the day I went back late at night, and it was tiring. I’ve started to have less than 8 hour sleep, which turned out not so good for me. …

This is my last week on my hometown before going back to Singapore.
On Monday, Golfin visited me. We chatted for a long time that day sharing each other stories about life as a university student in different places. He also passed me the TOKI shirt which was used by the judges at OSN 2013. After he left, I went to experiment around making animation in the connect-four game.
On Tuesday, which was new year’s eve, I implemented a minimax agent for the connect-four game as an AI, before this, the AI was just a random agent. After that, I wrote about the 2013 in review. Then finally to celebrate new year, I watched a Christmas movie titled “Arthur Christmas”. It was an animation movie from Aardman Animations, the studio which produces Shaun the Sheep. The movie was nicely done.
On Wednesday, I updated the connect-four game’s evaluation function a little bit to make it avoid losing and aim for winning. (but still not perfect as in some instances it will not go for straightly winning the game). By the way, the game is playable at http://kenrick95.github.io/c4. This day I came across some good old games titled “Rise of Nations”. This game as well as the comic book titled “The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck” (in Indonesian, 500 page, haha) killed some times. I spent the rest of time catching up the lectures for coursera.
Thursday and Friday is spent for implementing Server-Sent Events to Raun and to watch lectures on coursera. By the way, I finished 2 week lectures and quizzes on this week as next week I will be joining a camp and can’t do anything else.
On Saturday, I and my friends went out to Sun Plaza to meet up each other. It was a long times since the last time I meet Edward, Leonard, and Roselyn. Although we spent most our times just chatting, overall it was fun like the previous ones. On this day too, my father and mother (and also my uncle) got defrauded by a person who hacked my brother’s Facebook account.
On Sunday, after doing chanting for my grandfather, I and my family went to Carrefour to buy my milk stock. We had lunch at Pizza Hut and dinner at Waringin Seafood.
Next week on Monday I will have returned back to Singapore. Hope that the NTUBS Dhamma Camp 2014 will be fun.

Recently I have started many new things. I’m now re-reading all Detective Conan comic books, currently on Volume 36. I also re-play Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+, currently on Hollow Bastion after defeating 1,000 heartless. I also started a new course on edx.org, it was CS169.1x: Software as a Service by BerkeleyX. I also managed to play Simcity 4: Rush Hour on my laptop.
Unfortunately, because of those new business, I have to drop my course on Creative Programming offered by Goldsmiths on coursera.org. Also, LM2 development seemed to stuck (again), this time because of my laziness. Let’s continue it next week after I have completed Intro to Psychology.
The following is my “Personal Philosophy Essay” assignment submitted to “First-Year Composition 2.0” course offered by Georgia Institute of Technology at coursera.org. The assignment was as follows:
Compose a 400-500 word personal philosophy essay in which you lead your audience to recognize and understand why a specific belief is important to you.
Neutralism
Which party did you sided in the last US election: Republican or Democrats? I choose neither. I choose to be neutral because it is non-sided. Being neutral is well-accepted, then why not? …
