Now
Graduated from Singapore NTU
Woo-hoo! I graduated! Not top of class, valedictorian, or anything, really. The ceremony was standard(?) and complete. What I remember about it is all my family and friends who came to my graduation, as well as the expensive meals we share together afterwards. I think I will put this here for another month.
Working at A*Star
After my brief unemployment stint, I finally landed a full-time job at A*Star, BII to be exact. So now I am a Research Officer, currently assigned with replicating the performance of some SOTA model, and also perform some MD simulation (I have not gotten to that part yet). I was very lucky. I think my luck deserves another post, so I will leave it at that here.
Experiencing "the funk"
So I finally got a job. And I am feeling reasonably well in the first few days. The work is unexpectedly what I wished for the whole time before graduation, somewhat like an ML Engineer. Well, a month in, and I guess the excitement is over. So I am left with the "Soul" moment.
Slowly writing the blog
I am busy with work, but I start finding time to write, like in the fortunately short daily commute. Since I am working 2 jobs, the pace will not be ideal, but I think it can be reasonable to expect 1 post per month. I don't guarantee that it will be good though 😅.
