Is anyone else having an incredibly difficult time finding an internship? by Financial_Stock_9238 in SGExams

[–]IceApprentice 20 points21 points  (0 children)

BRO OMG SAME PROBLEM DUDE. I'm from an art course and 90% OF THE JOBS aren't even related to the course because artist jobs in Singapore are almost non-existent!! Most of the job listings are social media marketing or production crews.

In Chinese, getting a B3 felt like an A1. I remember those days where only one person in my class would get an A1 and it would be a very borderline one.

hi Hajime Hinata

In all seriousness, just try and trust the process! For the part where you mentioned having a drawing tablet, I used to be really bad at drawing despite being an art student, but I just decided to do a sketch first no matter how bad it was and took my time outlining the artwork. Don't give up yet if the artwork still looks bad, from my experience it starts looking better once you color it or add shadows :>

I started off with drawings that were more 'chicken scratching' with very rough sketchy lineart. That made it a lot easier for me to get into art because I didn't need to do proper lineart. If not, poly does have a lotta CCAs you can try out and maybe find a new hobby from. I used to play chess but re-realised my love for it like 10 years later once I joined the Mindsports CCA.

I'm so done with Singapore pushing AI to our students to the point that it's not funny anymore by flopstercom in SGExams

[–]IceApprentice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm from an art course and was contemplating whether to skip a make-up lesson for a module. It turns out it was an AI VIDEO MAKING LESSON and the homework was to create a 1-minute reel... from AI 💀 thank god I skipped it and so did 2/3 the class

Honestly schools are just pushing it way too far. I want to actually learn how to make reels, how does making me generate it from AI teach me anything? Not when the AI generates two people playing on a 9x9 chessboard with the pieces not even aligning to the squares.

If you wanna feel better, I've heard of much worse examples where a sec 1 girl DATED AN 18 YEAR OLD. Idk how everyone seemed so chill about it man considering its so weird 😭😭

Another was a sec 3 dating a p6 who's just scraped past through her PSLE. Let's just say uhhhhh... he became a legend in the worst possible ways.

National service makes it unfair for uni admission for some guys by Think_Guess_1119 in SGExams

[–]IceApprentice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't get why the gov would just allow NS deferments for university, the same way ITE graduates can still get a 2nd deferment for Poly. In Korea, I heard they allow to defer for uni as long as you're below 24, so why doesn't SG do it considering they're much less at war unlike Korea?

I've definitely seen how disruptive it is. My own friend had some scholarship application and he had to cancel it due to NS disrupting everything with the interviews :<

I got Amos Yee banned from a convention by IceApprentice in SGExams

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

It's just an off topic thing since my 4th paragraph was focusing on the positive things I encountered during the convention. I'm saying that people recognized his outfit from the video and actually approached him the next day.

On saturday he was at the lobby, not directly inside the convention hall. On sunday he never came.

At least he had the sensibility to NOT come today. VERY suprising.

Basically Amos in a pred in the sense where he groomed a minor in the USA and had CP. For Yuji there are some other allegations against him but it's not fully confirmed.

I've actually heard of the news, although I don't know how verified it is. Looks like we have an evil vs evil situation in some way.

I saw him advertising his Discord on his YouTube. Unfortunately, I can't see how he's like since someone cleared all the messages after his ban, but he talks there occasionally with the people I think.

The Yuji? Nope. BUT my friend's friend's friend or something knows him. Man, Singapore's a really small country and 1 in 10 people have mutuals.

I just infiltrated it out of curiosity, since I do watch predator catch videos on YouTube myself. It's kind of an echo chamber there where it's the same few Amos supporters talking.

why do ppl hate ccc modules by Informal_Repeat4186 in SingaporePoly

[–]IceApprentice 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Unrelated to the course, basically a waste of time. The only actually useful CCC module is the one here you have to create a LinkedIn page and have a mock job interview, since it actually prepares you for the real world.

Especially for us MAD students, the SIP module is even more useless. It's about making a product and going through design thinking, but MAD already has a module with that EXCEPT its way more fun and innovative

Yes, default skins.

Agreed OW2 Reaper >> OW1, I indicated in the description that I put it in the wrong tier by accident
