last blog entry

poster session was fun :) on hindsight, this module doesnt seem as painful as i thought it would be. perhaps its true that one usually looks back on the past in a better light

-- stuff i learnt --

this part is going to be a little incoherent. i picked up random things along the way. from little tidbits to being influenced by my peers. after this module, im convinced that one has to like what you do in order to be happy. im glad that i've cleared almost all my graduating requirements and next semester i'd get to do what i want to do. this module also gave me an opportunity to push myself. and as a result i knew myself a bit better. I think im a bit stronger than i though i was. hmm.

Technical stuff, learnt much. design, practised abit. keeping an open mind was the right decision. other wise i may not have went ahead with programming on ios. while i agree that browser based apps are the future, that makes me a little sad because i enjoy native app development more, because there is just more you can do with a native app. at the moment. then again, who knows. HTML5 is about to get more awesome i hear.

is not over. we are gonna try and push this through. RAAHH!

-- other stuff --

about how life is going to get tougher with each generation, i'm more inclined to think that it is possible for things to get better for us. no reasons in particular just think that its better to be optimistic about things you have little control over. fate has been kind to me so far anyway. so.

about the doom and gloom of lack of jobs and lack of oil, i think every generation has a huge obstacle of sorts. some faced the great depression and some faced war. I like to think that we are experiencing some kind of a hang over from a century's worth of industrialization and globalization. It'll be over one day. i hope.

good luck for finals everyone. time to re-invent wheels.

  1. about how life is going to get tougher with each generation, i'm more inclined to think that it is possible for things to get better for us.

    Life didn't get tougher with each generation. The last half a century has been a golden age for most of the developed nations. The party ended for Japan about 2 decades ago and it ended for the US over the past decade.

    My point is that Singapore's party too will end in the near future and it's helpful to brace oneself for the onslaught. Things are bad in the US, but bad in a weird way. Those who are left behind are not necessarily worse off than the rest of the world. They are just worse off than their neighbours and it's bad enough (http://www.theage.com.au/business/occupy-protestors-youre-probably-part-of-the-1-20111108-1n4rs.html).

    So in some sense, you are right. Life for the next generation definitely better than that for the earlier generations in absolute terms. But it's not good enough. That, is the irony.
