砥砺自强 厚德载物 – HC100 Musical
As the full rehearsals draw to a close, the exhausted students hurried to bus stops and a snake of cars full of anxious parents, each too weary to wear a smile on their face. I thought, its time to share some of the underlying details of the work. On 17, 18, and 19 May 2019, []

How to get a data science job
Every few years, some topic becomes a hype and everyone wants in. Having lived through the dot com boom (hosting was a hype, really), the web app boom (wow you can make an ASP page not just CGI-BIN), the mobile app boom (my mobile icon conforms to Jon Ives specs so Im cooler than you), []

What would I give, what would I hold back
Raising a 4-year old is harder than I thought. Mentally, I broke today. It was already a lousy day to begin with but one does not tell anyone that he or she had a lousy day, especially to your loved ones. Or your colleagues. Or Facebook. Maybe telling it on this public blog is silent []

Hiring the best FIT
Just had a surreal dinner 🙂 An ex-intern invited me to have dinner with his parents, as the parents want to personally thank me for seeing through his growth during his IA more than a year ago. I dont think Ive treated him any differently from how I treat all the other interns, but he...

Vision 2020 Nostalgia
My own way of celebrating nostalgia. Arranged not for the city band with full instrumentation, but the ones in the villages, the small towns, the ones running around raising funds every concert to buy one more timpani so that its no longer a timpano. A gift to the educators who struggles on with the...

Reflecting on 3 years of ReactJS (2015-2018)
We did React 0.12, 0.14, 15, now 16 (with create-react-app) over the span of 3 years (1 month shy) Its the most ridiculous engineering platform Ive ever used, and yet the most coherent dev community Ive ever experience, in my 2 decades on web dev work. Can you imagine porting and...

Keep on moving with the times
Can we stop? No. Can we walk? Not really. We have to run. Some will run and fall down, then, pick ourselves up, and keep running. We will take breaks. Have plenty of rest, but after that pick up yourself and keep running. When can we walk? Well sir, I cant say, maybe never []

Still on WordPress, going minimalist
Into year 14 of blogging. Still here! But getting really tired of decorating it. Just wanna write sometimes, and not into the blackhole called facebook. Picking a minimalist theme for 2018. No deco. Only for those who wants to read. Happy 2018!

Changing the world, 18 minutes at a time
If last years TEDxPetalingStreet was a harrowing first time experience, this round at TEDxNUS it was slightly better.

Paralysed as a means of renewal
A conversation with wifey this afternoon revealed an annual pattern. Every year, around December, I will suddenly be paralysed. I wont work despite the mountain of tasks to complete before the new year, I wont talk to most people unless its impossible not to talk to them, and I will...

Applying Stoic Virtues in 2017
It’s end September. Years back, I would say wake me up when September ends, as it’s usually the busiest part of the year where most deliverables for the year had been fleshed out, and building was in full steam, and I would be diving so deep into things I couldn’t change course even if i...

Reflections on the Marshmallow Experiment
Nice or not, my lao ya attempt to pose with my birthday present: my first bike shirt from decathlon at only $10.99 🙂 I know, I left my birthday on Facebook to trigger the worlds most impersonal algorithm. Birthdays doesnt mean much to me anymore, even the Swensen discount I get from AIA has...

Hwa Chong College Anthem
Love how one discovers an old work being performed and published from the age before YouTube. For the record, the piece was first drafted in 1999 for sports day (after dreading for one year that the piano version had no kick). I understand that Darence had made attempts to recover lost parts over the years...

Deep Breath
I just came back from an 8-days break in Melbourne, a postponed trip in itself. I had to take a deep breath, besides fulfilling our wish for an overseas family trip before our girl turns 2. After we came back, we basically spent the first day sleeping, and the other day putting our lives back ...
