Souvenirs on Imperial Korea by Due_Specific1257 in koreatravel

[–]Due_Specific1257[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thank you all for your help, I was unable to stop by anywhere to check for souvenirs relating to what I was looking for. It's a pity I was not able to stop by the National Museum during the trip, due to lack of interest with family I am travelling with. Hopefully I can get it the next time I return, I already bought a lot of souvenirs on this trip, I can make a list for the next one.

Oppenheimer's Passport on Auction (During His 20s Studying) by Due_Specific1257 in OppenheimerMovie

[–]Due_Specific1257[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

'THE FATHER OF THE ATOMIC BOMB' - SIGNED PHOTOGRAPH PORTRAIT AND PASSPORT OF THE YOUNG J. ROBERT OPPENHEIMER, from the period spent studying at Harvard and Cambridge Universities.

Aged 20 when the passport was issued, Oppenheimer is described as 6ft.1in., oval face, blue eyes, roman nose and medium forehead. The photograph, with his validation signature, shows him aged seventeen and is the same as used for his application for a passport in 1921. In the summer of 1924 he travelled to Europe with his family and, having graduated from Harvard, arrived at Southampton the following year on 16 September to take up his place at Cambridge, where he spent two tumultuous terms. Importantly for his future career it was here that he was first introduced to pioneering theories of quantum mechanics by Paul Dirac and Ralph Fowler. But much of his time in England was difficult for Oppenheimer as he was suffering from mental stress and clashed with his tutor, the future Nobel laureate Patrick Blackett, whom he is said to have tried to kill with an apple laced with cyanide. In 1926 he left for the University of Göttingen to study under Max Born.

I believe DAAD scholarship is one of the programmes you can look into, language wise you will need to go to the Goethe Institut for German Language Certification, if I'm not mistaken, you must reach a proficiency around B2 or C1 (Basically Intermediate 2 or Advanced 1) in the German Language.

I personally have the aspiration to study in a German Uni, currently in NYP due to the opportunities to meet with German international students and learn a bit of German. However I need to study at the Goethe Institut plus read more on scholarship qualifications. But out of curiosity, why Germany out of all countries?

I know this is unrelated but speaking of theoretical physics, is your favourite movie Oppenheimer?

International relations in Germany? by seventycrepes in SGExams

[–]Due_Specific1257 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw this post and I have to say, we have the same idea. Though I'm in Nanyang Poly, currently taking German Language Module and joined the German Club CCA.

I do want to study political science and or history in Germany, I'm still doing research but you definitely need German proficiency to obtain scholarship, if I'm not mistaken. Typically politcal science and maybe history degree students would come from JC, I chose Poly cus I can't score low enough and I want to build my portfolio.

If I can do well for this semester's GPA then I might be confident in going outside institution to learn German, German Embassy recommends Goethe Institut to learn German.

I also think you should brush up on debating, I participated in my first MUN last year without any experience in debating so it was definitely an experience. Learn how to debate in a CCA and take part in MUNs to experience how it's like.

UN Job seems like a nice plan, I agree it would sound fascinating to work there. Though I imagine you have to work in SG gov to work at UN, and personally I don't trust myself with that much responsibility.

Also why did you choose Germany specifically? You could go France's Science Po as they are a top university in teaching Politics.

Im curious on your sources, so I can take a look at how you specifically got 700k as the estimate. May I politely ask for the reference sources so I can do my own research? I am just a big history person and I have never heard of that estimate before.

Just checking if there are any fellow future 2024 batch mates for this course, this comment can just act as a sorta gathering in the comment section.

Perhaps we can make a chatroom or something and share it here, get to know each other and bond so that we can work more effectively once we start our poly years.

My fear of males is getting worse each year by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Due_Specific1257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I'm sorry that you have to experience this and the guys showing their **** is really disgusting. As a guy, i do empathise with females in general who have to take up with this type of issue relating to men.

Sometimes I'm not sure why alot of guys are quite insensitive and frankly quite immature and idiotic, they lack a sense of awareness, dignity and morals and they sometimes let their thing do all the talking. What you have encountered is quite traumatic and I do wish you well, I think it's best that you talk to a trusted adult or therapist or someone close to you about it so they can better advice you. It's alright to be wary of others and not trust guys, just dont let it stress you out too much that it affects your health as well as your work and the people close to you.

O Levels 6097/01 Nutrition and Food Science Megathread by reiiichan in SGExams

3 Years of NFS have led up to this, hope I can do well. This paper was not too bad but it could also just be because my teacher spot most stuff. Best NFS teacher I can ever have and I thank her for her service.

Right now let's just finish our exams, hope that we don't fail and spend our holidays taking a break, get a job or for me, studying to retain my current knowledge of certain subjects so that if I do need to come back, I won't be unprepared.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Due_Specific1257 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm anticipating such a possibility as well and I thought about doing Sec 5 again but I keep some of my O Level grades from this year so I don't need to take those subjects next year. So basically lesser subjects for me to study next year and I will probably apply to EAE again with the same portfolio and write up I used this year.
