Perception

As the three-month sumer break began, I was fortunate enough to be able to secure an internship with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) under the ELITe programme. This process wasn’t as frantic as a year ago, but it led me to think about my opinion on internships in general.
Granted, my current internship is [...]

In spite of the seemingly strong feelings in my last post, I somehow managed to apply and land an internship over the course of the past week.

So a nervous four-day wait was ended with disappointment earlier this afternoon, when my interviewer from the Singapore Police Force called to inform me that I did not get the internship. I guess it was silly and complacent of me to assume that I was going to get it, but a series of assumptions had [...]

I’ve been spending the greater part of the past three weeks building a site as part of my internship under Avant Global. The internship is over, but I’ve been commissioned to carry on developing it until it’s ready for launch. That time is soon, I hope, as school is set on the runway about to [...]

I spent some time in the past week getting started on PHP, and so far I’ve covered majority of the basic concepts. The syntax of PHP is quite similar to Java which I’m already familiar with, so the examples given have been easier to follow and understand. Another area that these languages have in common [...]
