If you have mates in second or third year, you’ve probably seen them getting stressed about internships in the past couple weeks. Indeed, internship has been on practically everyone’s mind. The Faculty recommends doing one internship after second year, and another one after the third, so no doubt people would be in a frenzy. Equally,…Continue Reading Internship Interdictions
I thought that (electeng) 101 reasons to choose electrical would be a great post title, and I got so stuck on the gag that I couldn’t stray away from it. So, in the spirit of lame techy jokes, this is 0b101 or 1012 reasons or five reasons to choose electrical. Roughly one year ago, when I was deciding what specialisation I…Continue Reading (ELECTENG) 101 reasons to choose electrical
Welcome back everyone, and I hope you are all finding ways to stay motivated and healthy during this lockdown!

We’re hurtling towards midsemester break at an alarming rate. For some, this may be great. For part II electrical/computer systems, it’s absolutely terrifying! It’s not the quantity of due dates for us, but the quality. The most pressing being an interview about our design project thus far. But, I’m not going to think about that for now….Continue Reading Where can electrical take you?
We’re in lockdown. Again. Back to 3am bedtimes and 12pm wake-ups. Back to having an endless amount of time, to do… absolutely nothing. Speaking of doing nothing, to procrastinate for my test in 2 days I thought I’d finally get to writing the next highly-anticipated instalment of my blogs. As promised, here’s a run-down of…Continue Reading Have a Break, Have a Kit-Kat: A Reflection on Semester 1

Their caffeine-infused throats chanted elusive words, passed down from ancient times. “Why isn’t…Continue Reading Mech is Coming
Equipped with little more than Kirchhoff’s laws and a potentially haphazard love for calculus, I decided to choose electrical and electronic engineering (EEE for convenience) as the number one option on my specialisation form. Goodbye friends lost to the other specialisations, ’twas a good one while it lasted. When I tell people I’m doing EEE,…Continue Reading A short intro to the darkside
