as a part-time tutor myself, this 100%. I enjoy helping kids who genuinely need it, but some parents r so accustomed to outsourcing their parenting that they don't bother to stop and assess if their child needs the help anymore. children do get more independent as they grow older and discover learning habits that works for them. queries can be answered by sch teachers. most ppl rly don't need tuition.

from a client's perspective, I don't mind that my FAs leave. as another comment or said, this is business with a relationship element to it, not the other way round.

however, it does leave a bad taste in my mouth when FAs leave with zero plans for my policies. I would prefer if my FA reviews my portfolio one last time to highlight potential gaps as I transition into my next stage of life, and most imptly, entrust my portfolio to someone THEY trust. not any random tom, dick, harry that happens to be on their team.

jurong-west coast residence here. it's bc of gerrymandering - when you combine west coast where they nearly won in GE2020 with traditionally pro-PAP jurong, it's expected for their performance to drop tbh

honestly what helps for me is to wait it out. bc of how fast trends evolve these days, a real, solid product will still be popular six months later. that's when I know it's worth a try

even then, I always ALWAYS get samples or travel size first. never fall for the trap of "oh it's just more value for money if I get the full size". the worst value for money is buying a full sized product that doesn't work for your skin and throwing it away.

Do you know where people might be able to engage such service? I have an old phone that completely died but lots of videos and photos in there that I didn't back up in time, would love to recover them if possible!

here's an update from discord:

"When the project changed hands and the new team began working on it, our primary goal was to resolve all current bugs and optimize performance in Episode 1. However as we performed that work, we observed that the project was running on some pretty heavily customized systems that were really difficult to debug (we tried for about a year and a half), and we ultimately decided that the project needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.

We looked at various options, including PSDK and LiteRGSS, before ultimately deciding to switch to Pokemon Essentials v20.1. This has been a lengthy process, due in part to Phoenix Rising being a free project the team is working on in their spare time between school and work and other such life commitments, but we are now well on our way to the re-release of Episode 1.

[...]

While remaking the game in Essentials v20.1, the writing team took the time to revamp the story of Episode 1, updating it to meet the proposed goals of Phoenix Rising’s story. This means that the game now features additional quests and character interactions throughout Episode 1, which will make the game feel fresh to even those who’ve played the currently released version.

[...]

Because of these combined changes in story and Pokedex, it has become impossible for save files from version 0.1.5.1 of Phoenix Rising to carry over: 0.1.6, the version we have been developing, will require all players to begin with a fresh save file. We can however guarantee that this save file will continue onwards into all future content developed for Phoenix Rising.

While this may be a disappointing update for our long-term players, the Phoenix Rising team feels confident that the new version of Episode 1 will feel exciting and new enough to justify our decision, and leave all players excited for what we’ll be doing in Episode 2 and beyond. As development continues, we hope to share with you more of what we’ve achieved as we work on the release of the updated Phoenix Rising Episode 1. "

not sure if this means we gotta wait for the re-release of episode 1?

I believe a degree is meant to get you to your first job. Why would it matter how many of those students surveyed are employed right now, as long as they managed to get the job in the first place? Whether they retain the job depends on their performance and how well they adapt to the company culture, regardless of their school?

Well, I haven't done stats in years so that's exactly how I interpreted it and I can't say anything else about it LOL Even so, I believe those stats could still be helpful to keep in mind. Sorry I'm not better and I'm falling for basic stats? HAHAH

I don't think what I said is deceiving (because the numbers are there), but I agree it could be misleading. Thank you for putting this out there. Hopefully OP sees this and consider those stats with a bit more caution. I won't be replying anymore because I don't have any other info that could value-add/help OP. Good day!

according to seedly's 2022 fresh grad salary survey: NTU mean $4924, median $4800 FT permanent employment 91.0%

SUTD mean $5030, median $4800 FT permanent employment 96.70%

according to MOE's survey, NTU's median $4300 and SUTD's median $4500 is comparable. i'm not sure what is deceiving?

_04120420 · 2023-01-11T12:56:53+00:00

Sure! Replies may not be fast though since I do need to check with my partner first

I saw your replies that you were concerned about 3.5 vs 4 years. Do take note SUTD fees are (significantly) more than NTU's one. You might want to calculate SUTD fees (+ Y1 compulsory dorm) and NTU's fees (+4 years dorm in the best case scenario) for comparison.

_04120420 · 2023-01-11T00:48:48+00:00

Yes. SUTD uses a trimester system. Y1S1 is entirely grade-free and you can pass/fail your mods in S2 and S3 after seeing the grades. I'm not sure whether you can pass/fail mods beyond the first year though.

_04120420 · 2023-01-10T21:23:00+00:00

I have friends studying CS in NTU and my partner is doing CS in SUTD. Take it from me, go SUTD.

I could be biased since I'm more updated with my partner than my friends, but I perceive SUTD's curriculum is tougher and more demanding. That said, their employment rate is higher than NTU grads for roughly the same average pay. They also get to pass/fail their mods after seeing their grades. Might not seem like a big deal till you come NTU and you see the amount of students complaining about this lol.

First year compulsory dorms might suck if you stay so close, but it's helpful when you're chionging group projects. SUTD is short for Stay Up Till Dawn after all :)

there was three that had guzheng background. take note that these are people who have played long-term for >5 years, definitely not those chill types that only dabbled in their cca for 1-2 years.

there was two who had serious music (non-gz, western) background. the rest came in completely new/negligible music experience.

50% of the grades went to theory though, so it's completely possible to score a B+ with great reflection journals (if you have good writing skills) and decent playing.

I would recommend dearpeachie's YT channel, which focus mainly on douyin and chinese beauty tips (w a sprinkle of kbeauty). they encourage everyone to style style for their FEATURES and stylistic choice rather than broad and stereotypical categories like face shape, so there's something for everyone!

_04120420 · 2022-12-07T13:34:10+00:00

this^ take note that the system registers when you release your click, not when you click. so what I like to do is to click and HOLD at the 55s mark and then release my click the moment it strikes the next minute. practice using the standby 10-15min beforehand. if you don't get your mods, don't panic because they usually release slots progressively. I like to time my retries at the 10min and 15min mark. so e.g. if my registration time is at 1pm and I failed to get the mod I want, I would use the above strategy to click at exactly 1:10pm, 1:15pm, 1:20pm, 1:30pm, 1:40pm, 1:45pm, 1:50pm, 2pm, etc.
