Where on earth did that month and a half go? It feels like it was only a couple of weeks ago that I was writing my last blog. Anyways, I thought that I might as well share a few blithe little thoughts on each paper for your reading (dis)pleasure. With those preliminaries out of the…Continue Reading Fear and Loathing in MDLS E&I
EEE(w) – Reflections on a semester past
Looking at blog posts from the Part II Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) blogs of yore I noticed a certain cliché, the suggestion that EEE was not very popular amongst the body of prospective Part II students. I had thought that perhaps this year might be different, that perhaps ELECTENG 101 may have breathed excitement…Continue Reading EEE(w) – Reflections on a semester past
Final thoughts and goodbye
Guess who’s back for the final time…. I thought I would end this series of blog posts with a reflection on the past year and some thoughts on what comes next after Part 2 electrical. I’m not going to lie. This has been, by far, the most challenging semester. There have been many moments where…Continue Reading Final thoughts and goodbye
My internship hunt experience
For a long time, I didn’t think I’d write with this post. My internship hunting experience had been months upon months of disappointment and rejection, and I didn’t feel in any place to impart wisdom. But, things are looking better now, and I swear this post isn’t me humble bragging about gaining an internship, but rather,…Continue Reading My internship hunt experience

Roughly one year ago, when I was deciding what specialisation I…Continue Reading (ELECTENG) 101 reasons to choose electrical

Where can electrical take you?
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?
A short intro to the darkside
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
