24/10/21   WHAT THE FUCK IS A TRIGGER. I AM FUCKING TRIGGERED. Fucking databases. I don’t understand a single thing. Tbf i havent watched a single lecture in weeks. I have like 5 upcoming essays due in like a week or something. And i have a fuck ton of group projects and coding assignments. But what the fuck is a trigger, can somebody please tell me.

 02/10/21 I seem to have forgotten that I am, first and foremost, a CS student. I…am not human. I am an essay writing machine. Or at least, that is what this semester is making me feel like. FAS1101 and 3 philosophy modules is slowly morphing me from the kinda-person-not-really-but-perhaps-at-least-a-bit-human into a machine that churns out essays. While talking to myself. Well damn, brains got hands. Fighting myself. And a gaming addiction. To mobile games by…Supercell, HitGrab, and a guy called Orteil. And between these and being kinda depressed perhaps might of ADHD, theres no time for coding. SQL is Greek to me. Java…I was gonna say its like French but I guess a more accurate comparison would be Chinese. But that’s only because NUS is a Java Factory and I’ve been tortured by Java thoroughly in the past. And so, I dropped one of my CS mods during recess week. Partly because the guy who I have yet to name here, but who held my hand once, suggested that we could take it to...

CS2105 Introduction to Computer Networks MCs: 4 Expected Grade: A- Actual Grade: A Workload: Very manageable if you start your assignments early The lecture slides call this module “An Awesome Introduction to Computer Networks”. Reality is not too far off, I guess. Doesn’t really go in depth to each part of networking, but this is an introductory module, after all, so that’s acceptable. Knowing the difference between UDP and TCP is important for technical interviews, so this is a good module to take early, ideally before you start applying for internships. Enjoyed the first half of the module more than the second half because Prof Ma appeared more prepared for lectures than Prof Zimmermann, though I think Prof Zimmermann is more experienced. Assignments were pretty “hands-on”, I think? It seems like something that can be applied to real life programming, s...

Interesting .   CP2106 Independent Software Development Project (Orbital) MCs: 4 Expected Grade: CS Actual Grade: CS Workload: As much as you want, as much as you are willing to be a burden. This is a pass/fail independent pair-work project module available for first year computing students. It is done during summer break, and you are free to create any software you want for this module. It is very much self-study with negligible guidance. As such, learning varies as well. If you just want to get free MCs, it really isn’t much work at all. My partner and I decided to make a game in Unity. This turned out to be more difficult than I expected, and I couldn’t grasp how to use the tech stack even till the end. Which meant that I was pretty much deadweight for most of the project. So, this also means that your friendship may suffer depending on who you choose to pair up with. It has “software” in ...
