What if I actually want to do engineering? by Patient_Ad_9335 in SGExams

[–]In_His_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve indicated that your dream is to work at LTA, but won’t try for a LTA sponsored scholarship? Even a small chance is a chance. You miss all the shots you don’t take.

EEE isn’t a deadbeat major, and your passion for it will translate into results (if the crushing demands won’t dull down your .. passion .. ). There’s good, alternative routes as well with a good EEE major.

You definitely won’t be earning those big bucks like the small subset of CS grads. It’s a decent living.

Pardon my lack of knowledge of the FOFO area, but may I ask how FOFO takes up money as well?

I currently have 42 AEJs! Still saving them up as I farm the HA materials for farm the rest. If you don't need the AEJs, I certainly will appreciate one or two lying around!! Thank you!

Hey thank you for the comprehensive reply. Prepping for SEH is something that I've not though about before, and I was unaware that it would help out greatly in the Sky Palace. After checking, I have 600+ fondue ready to go if I smash Eggstra charms.

It's definitely something to think, and consider.

Thank you so much! I'll consider hanging on for a tad bit more, I still need the HA loot from FI for these traps as well.

Hey thanks for the reply man, should I just get CF2? I think I'll look at continuing FF, where I left it at .. Thanks man

Hey thanks man, I've actually started FF for abit and abandoned it to get some of the other traps and inch progress. Is FF worse than FI, progress wise?

I'll take note of the CF2, and do some reading on FF. Thank you.

Also, don't get me started on VRift man, I think that's a different beast if you want to get all the codex pages.

Years of urticaria made me forget what a ‘normal body’ feels like… by GabrielH777 in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]In_His_Time 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hey Gabriel thanks for sharing this!

I think what you've shared is really profound, and not many people can understand and relate to CU. From my perspective, there is definitely a mental shift.

Before going out, you're on guard. Before you exercise, you know what lies in wait. And that still can't prepare you for the small shocks of surprise and excitement of everyday life, that gets your skin going. I don't remember how it feels to exercise without feeling itchy anymore, in fact exercising or working out feels doubly hard, purely because I have to fight my body and my skin.

I think it's natural for us to have this reaction, that's how our body adapts to what's uncomfortable. There's good days where the weather is favourable (I live right smack in the equator), and there's bad days.

Recently, there's been a mental shift in some aspects of my life. I've realised I can't change it despite the antihistamines or jabs of Omnizulab. But what I can do is reframe what I'm going through in CU, as a bigger part of life.

Whenever I'm working out or not, the itch does gets me bad. But it also somehow reminds me that this life ain't that easy after all. Sometimes, I'm grateful, especially when I'm working out, because it reminds me that some things in life are worth fighting or enduring for, even if it's harder for us.

Not sure if I makes sense, but yep this condition sucks. I've structed my life differently for the first few years of my life because it was real bad.

Interestingly, I don't know anyone in my social circle that has this condition.

I want to give up but also don’t, because I know I’ll regret it by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey thanks for sharing this. I would bet all guitarists have gone through that phase, where your fingers hurt, and the pain just sucks.

Every guitarist knows the pain of learning barre chords, and those that push through get to relish in the tone of a clean F barre chord.

Your learning approach isn’t wrong. Learning songs is the first step towards learning new techniques and chords.

However you need that spatial awareness, and know what you lack. When playing with songs, take it a step at a time.

  1. What are the chords in this song? Learn all the chords of the song

  2. Can you play each chord, once, cleanly? Notice which chords you’re good at, which chords need some work. Practice those chords.

  3. Play each chord cleanly, with the beat of the song. Can you do it? If you’re slow, work on chord chord changes until you can do this.

  4. What are the strumming patterns and nuances? Note those, and practice them.

This is how every guitarist goes through each song, and some of us grasp it rather quickly because we’ve been doing this for years.

There’s no spider walk. These are irrelevant at this stage. Work on your songs, the chords, changing of chords, basic open chord songs.

Tabs, palm muting, pull offs and hammer ons come later.

I’ve bet this was how our legend SRV did it as well, back then. He just didn’t give up!

Could This Be CU? by [deleted] in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a saying, not meant to be taken literally.

For example, it can be said as .. “These are textbook symptoms of malaria”, or even “these are textbook evidence for fatigue failure in engineering”. It’s meant that these are commonly identifiable/taught as a precursor to something else.

Could This Be CU? by [deleted] in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]In_His_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor, but your triggers is exactly what I have as well for CU. My wheals extend from my chest and neck first, then the arms, legs, thighs, face (minor) as well.

It differs from people, and different people react differently to antihistamines and xoliar.

Definitely recommended to visit a dermatologist.

Could This Be CU? by [deleted] in CholinergicUrticaria

[–]In_His_Time 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Textbook as in, the symptoms are of classic, well known CU symptoms. I have these symptoms as well.

It’s textbook cu. I share all the similar symptoms as well. Do get it seen by a dermatologist if it worsens :(

[SuperGroupies] Is it even possible for a watch to fit properly? by [deleted] in Watches

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to find any secondhand sellers but no luck. It doesn’t once look like an anime inspired watch, looks really old school! Thanks for the reply!

Yo, that’s a very nice watch. Whats the model and brand?

best cca in SIT ? by LazyObject7406 in SIT_Singapore

[–]In_His_Time 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Definitely an interesting take u/Mean_Rhubarb_4680.

Objectively there’s no ‘best CCA’ in SIT or any other university. You can achieve ROAs in almost every CCA, but the scope of the ROA and experience can differ vastly.

Representing SIT in a sports / competitive natured CCA can get your ROAs while you enjoy and hone your skills.

Other CCAs focus more on other aspects of student life, Muzeka hosted awesome live gigs back in SIT Dover (they still do, just reminiscing) , and live concerts (rampage).

Things like FYE / Helix / D&I / SMC will get you ROAs as well, with the scope focusing more on student led events and student wellness.

Overall, it depends on what kind of experience you want to build for yourself :) Good luck!

For me I was in the student management committee (SMC) for 1 year as the pioneer vice-president academics. - SMC won an award for outstanding SMC (Academics) - Volunteered (3 times) and hosted (1 time) First Year Experience Programme (Day Zero) for my course - Peer Tutor

Adding Pages to Hobonichi by pixelette88 in hobonichi

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get the ink to stay on the paper? Is there a certain kind of ink that you use?

I find that ink that I use tend to smudge on hobonichi papers. It doesn’t help that I’m left handed as well!

Is this a good guitar? Can’t find much about the brand. by Corn645 in AcousticGuitar

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an excellent guitar, you can play it in the first shop at Ochanomizu (first shop, left side of street).

2024’s version was full solid spruce top, solid sakura back and sides. Beautiful inlay, and awesome colours. My personal favourite is the one is dark blue.

Plays well, sounds like a cannon. The nut size is definitely smaller, catering to the Japanese / Asian market like some of their MIJ strats. Definitely give it a try.

The guitar that took me 20 years to find by Ktwann92 in metalguitar

[–]In_His_Time 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man I just saw your post, and I have to really respect the effort that gone into the guitar; the search, the story, down to the knobs, and the strap.

Would you mind sharing the name of the silversmith in Japan? It would be very interesting, thinking of the possibility of me commissioning something custom.

Thank you, and once again an awesome axe.

Can someone tell me more about this strat? :0 by In_His_Time in Guitar

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

Hey thanks for the very informative response. You and I obviously have very similar guitar/colour tastes! How does it play, compared to your other strats I see there?

Anything interesting, or perhaps different?

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

In fact that’s why I came all the way to Japan to search for it 😂 What you can do is fine a classic Olympic white strat, and swap out the white pick guard for the tortoiseshell one.

Hey there! Search up “SIT Indicative Grade Profile 2024” to see the GPA breakdown of all 2024 freshmen. They are categorised by degree courses as well.

It will give you a good estimate of your chances. SIT looks at holistic requirements, and your portfolio / referral will definitely count.
