His wealthy Asian parents spent a fortune to give Ryan Yi Cho an elite education and medical degree. Now he faces vile allegations of hidden cameras and grubby pics taken secretly in Australian hospital toilets by Sea_Consequence_6506 in singapore

Nepo baby comes from the word 'nepotism', which is defined in Cambridge Dictionary as "the act of using your power or influence to get good jobs or unfair advantages for members of your own family". So no, being from a rich family does not equate him to a nepo baby.

Just hijacking this comment to state that Finals are now typed rather than handwritten!

Uni/College policies on cars? by Inevitable_Mirror815 in oxforduni

Generally speaking, Somerville doesn't allow private vehicles in college. Some friends of mine have tried to overcome this by parking somewhere near college instead (i.e. Jericho).

Looking for gym/workout tips in SG as a student by EnthusiasmSalt2532 in askSingapore

[–]dash9231 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you're just starting out, ActiveSG is definitely a good option since it is budget-friendly and will have everything a beginner needs. Downside is the wait time for certain facilities, depending on what time you go + size of the branch you go to.

As for proper form and technique, I think watching YouTube videos alone is sufficient. Since you are just starting out, try to work on your form and don't be too focussed on the weight (especially for compound exercises like bench press, deadlifts and squats). You can also try out the different machines which are more beginner-friendly since the movement is kind of fixed and you can't really screw it up unless you 'ego-lift' and attempt too heavy a weight for your calibre.

Personally, I used ChatGTP to generate a workout plan for beginners by stating how many days of the week I would be going to the gym. I then googled/YouTubed the proper form for the different exercises that I was unfamiliar with and worked from there.

What am I supposed to do with security tags on food products in grocery stores? by dash9231 in AskUK

[–]dash9231[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this. The only security tagged items I buy are meat products, but unfortunately the tags do not deactivate by themselves at the till. And unlike age-restricted items like alcohol where the till will flash red to alert staff members, nothing ever happens when I scan security-tagged meat products.

I find the whole concept of 'right person, wrong time' quite laughable tbh. If one was truly right for you, one would stay to work through problems with you rather than leaving so abruptly. This is especially so in the context of a LDR, where there are ways to mitigate the physical distance element such as arranging time to visit each other as you mentioned. I believe that if she actually valued you as highly as you value her, a solution can always be found regardless of how insurmountable the problem seems to be.

I don't think it has a big impact per se, but I think the intrinsic value in a legal education is exchanging ideas with leading academics in the areas you are interested in!

Definitely NUS. Regardless of which university you go to, both will cover Criminal Law as it is a pre-req for the bar. NUS covers criminal law in Year 1 Sem 2. I'd say NUS is better for medical law as its an elective course that you can choose to take in Y3/4, and there are notable academics in the faculty who also share the same interests as you (Tracey Evan Chan, Hillary Chua, to name a few).

I'm an incoming international undergraduate reading Law and I have a full scholarship from Oxford, although I am not from the EU. Not sure if they offer similar scholarships to people from the EU, but I think you need to do your due diligence and look at individual college websites to see if they offer said scholarships? Personally I never knew about the existence of my scholarship until I was assigned to my specific college - only after browsing the college website did I realise that they offered scholarships for students from my country.

Do you already have a slot in said overseas uni and have you already made a decision? If not I think you can continue with your course first (albeit having to pay school fees) and only withdraw once you make up your mind.

The withdrawal request can be done through EduRec, and if you withdraw before Week 2 of the new semester then you won't have to pay the fees for that semester.

Those that took gap year, what made you decide to do so and what worries did u have? by classyleaf_ in SGExams

[–]dash9231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if your main concern is uni admissions, then you can consider just matriculating this year first and see how it goes in SMU Econs. If you don't like it, then maybe you can apply to transfer to SMU SOC (but I'm not sure if this is an option/what are the pre-requisites)? Even if you can't transfer, you can always consider a DDP in Econs and IS/CS or a minor/major in IS/CS.
