2021 resolution

The jellyfish is back! This year has been hit greatly by covid-19, but it actually has been a really awesome year for me, well at least compared to 2019. =P Shall go back to the format of writing the positive stuff first, before going on to the room for improvement. :) 

But in a super nutshell, it will be something like this. [JJ shared this haha]


~~~~~

What is awesome about 2020? :) 

1. Be much more engaged in my work. There were a lot of useless meetings / discussions / seminars / sharing sessions when there wasn't any Covid. However since this year has many work from home days, I finally get the time to read much more papers, learn more about the topic, try out a lot of stuff which I have always wanted and engage in my work. =P 

2. Learnt more programming in both work / non-work scenarios. Glad that the things learnt in online courses actually helped quite a bit. :D

3. Had quite a lot of skype gaming / dinners with F4. Those were really fun! :D

4. This year I went back to playing ML (maple private server), and it sure was relaxing and a nice break from work. =P

5. Bought and tried a much larger variety of food with family. (Different cuisines, things we dont normally eat, better items) Glad they enjoyed a large part of it. But a much more important point, is that I spent much more time with parents. :D

6. Finished RC nicely with WL. Oh, and also the random celebratory meals with him. XD


==============

What is not that great?

1. Learnt much lesser Korean than I wanted to. Not sure if it's because I spread out the time to work / learn courses / ML...

2. Not much exercising this year. Covid la... -_- There were online sessions, but I guess I listened to the background music instead. XP


===========

Resolutions for 2021

1. Learn Korean to a higher level, generally. Listening, speech, grammar, vocab~

2. Aim to finish at least half the online courses I got in 2020, regardless of topics.

3. Continue to keep up with the work passion. More reading is definitely great. 

4. See if I can create an app / program that has a set of mini games, for own entertainment. =P

5. Go back to dumbbells / go to the gym sessions. Don't waste the $40 pass ahaha.


========================

Here is wishing that the covid virus will die down somewhat in the year. The virus situation is a big mess in almost every country, so hope the vaccine will save the day! If not, staying at home to work is a great thing too. =P To a really awesome year ahead!

Course Review NTU SPMS - Electives

This portion is for the electives! ======== PE / UE ======== BU8301 - Fundamentals of Business Law (Y2S1/3AU/BM) [S/U] Lecturer/Tutor: Mr Ram A Ganapathy Class Participation, Presentation (20%) - Grade: A- Finals (80%) Overall Grade:  S A 1.5hr lecture and a 1.5hr seminar weekly. Seminar attendance taken. The 20% CA consists of a tutorial presentation, and that's about it! The rest is just class participation. The finals is a 2.5h, open-book exam. If you are a person who dislike maths, don't wanna take BU8201 like the others, wanna clear Business PE or just want to have an open book exam, then this mod is for you! This module doesn't require memorising, since the exam is open book, but you will have to know how to apply the case laws and application. I find them rather applicable in real life, such as laws in purchasing items, and signing contracts which most of us will encounter in the future. Some basic knowledge is not bad. :) The difficult part comes when

NTU MAS or NUS stats?

This is in response to one of the post in the tagbox! NTU MAS or NUS stats? ================== Ok, I have only spent 1 semester in NUS, so I am not too sure about their math culture...  1. Do you really like stats / understand what stats is about? Stats is not as easy as what the JC H1/H2 math depicts. It is a specialized branch of applied mathematics, and requires deep understanding. Future job scopes will include data analyst / trend forecasters / model evaluators / etc. If your answer is YES: and you don't really mind which school is it, then you can consider both NUS stats / NTU stats.  If your answer is NO: Then don't bother with stats. If stats is the only reason in why you choose NUS, then the answer is straightaway NTU, and you can skip the rest of the post. If your answer is DUNNO: If you feel that you need some time to explore a math / stats route in detail, then perhaps it will be good to consider NTU MAS, as the track selection is do
