Oct 2019 update - school, (long) review of Dayre 2.0

What's up, readers? I thought I will do a bi-weekly (once every 2 weeks update) on life. I'm restarting my blogging habits on this blog... as much as I can. I can't really talk much about work because of the sensitive nature of my work, although work is a big part of my life. So really, there's nothing much interesting that I can write about these days... except that, I also started school. I know I wrote in my first post that the reason why I restarted my blog (I've been blogging since 2006) is because I wanted to leave my school days' posts behind... The irony!

School

And now, it's almost week 10 into the semester, and I'm taking a Master's in Artificial Intelligence in the same university I did my undergraduate studies (linked, in case you are curious). "How's that going?" Well, it's been pretty tiring to be working + studying. A normal weekday looks like this for me: Work > School > Study > Sleep. I'm just really, really lucky I don't have to do OT. When my friends ask how I manage to juggle work and school, I tell them I have little to no social life. Which is quite true... I socialise at work/lunch/on my phone and hardly hang out with friends on weekday nights or weekends.

Broken images

Hi guys, I'm aware that my Taiwan posts have broken images... This was due to some changes that I was not made known of... I will fix them when I can. In the meantime, enjoy the other posts!

Switzerland Day 1: Zürich → Uetliberg Mountain → Lake Zürich → ETH Zürich → Grossmünster → Lindenhof Hill → Hiltl → Olten

18th May 2018, Friday

We landed early at 7am. However we were stuck at the customs for almost an hour! There were just a lot of ppl... In the end when it was our turn, zj went ahead first but the officer asked if she was there alone, she said she's with me so I got asked to go to the counter too. After she processed zj, which involved asking quite a number of questions and also scanning of fingers, she scanned my passport and said "oh you used to live here". Me "yup". Her: "and you speak French?" Me: "un peu". She smiled and bid me a pleasant stay. Maybe staying there once has its perks. Hahah

We took our baggage, spent some time in the toilet and headed straight to the train station. It was somewhat cold, like when we visited London last fall.

Switzerland Day 0: Changi Airport → Hamad Airport → Zurich Aiport (+ Costs breakdown)

17th May 2018, Thursday

Worked from home in the day before heading to the airport. Our flight was at 9.20pm so I went to pasta mania for dinner with my parents before proceeding to check-in my luggage. This travelogue will feature mainly zj and myself since we are the ones going on this trip :P
