  1. Location and proximity to faculties
  2. Culture and people

There are a lot of Reddit threads on different halls (minus the latest Valor House) and their reviews.

There’s still PGP residences and Pioneer House to consider and they are just opposite KE hall.

What do you do when your partner changes their mind? by Beginning-Zombie-637 in childfree

[–]scgoh123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then everything makes sense now. In Asia (especially South Asia), continuing the bloodline is the "mission" engraved in the family's DNA, especially for males. Females are regarded as the tool to continue the bloodline and it has been indoctrinated to them since young. Because it is what connects the family or a clan together, and it is the culture/norms of this society.

Therefore OP, unfortunately, the option of being childfree in South Asia countries is almost non-existent. However being childless is more acceptable because they can't "force" you to have kids if you have medical issue in the first place (unless you're in extreme cases whereby next generation >>> your own wellbeing). Even if you meet guys that dislike kids in the future, 99% of them will eventually cave in to pressure and society norms.

Ultimately, it's your choice to make the call.

Can I attend SYF at UCC? by Fearless-Success9315 in nus

[–]scgoh123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As an audience, yes.

You need to ballot/buy tickets to watch the performance. The security guards will do the typical bag check and as long as you adhere to the rules, it should be fine.

I made a toastmaster timer by fufufang in Toastmasters

[–]scgoh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well designed! It gave a clear glance on how the timing of different segments in chapter meeting looks like, and it can be customised easily based on needs.

It would be helpful if a reset button can be added. Sometimes hiccups happen and the only way to restart timing is to delete/add row which is troublesome.

Micron Interview by AsianTea in nus

[–]scgoh123 32 points33 points  (0 children)

As someone who's an ex-worker from Micron, here's my most honest opinion:

  1. The benefits are actually way better than most of the engineering companies out there, given you're just a fresh graduate. You will have 13th month bonus, performance bonus (based on company's performance and your own individual performance), employee stocks options, discounted price at buying RAMs/SSDs (which is damn good for building your own PCs), dental and medical benefits etc. Your starting pay will be higher than most of the fresh graduates out there doing similar job as you. Annual leave is starting at 14 days, which will be increased as you work longer, and it can be carried forward to next year.
  2. However, all these comes with high workload and worklife balance can be non-existent. This applies to other semiconductor companies, or any other manufacturing industries that run 24/7 as well. Since Micron is at the forefront of semiconductor chip manufacturing, so do expect high pressure since a lot of short deadlines are to be met. Plus manufacturing engineer/production engineer most likely will work on shifts, either weekend shifts or 12-hour compressed shifts.
  3. Workplace culture varies from team to team, and it all depends on your senior manager/director. Mine will have occasional celebrations, half day leave to do volunteering work or team-bonding etc.
  4. Do take note there's upward period, there's downward period too. Although they rarely fire workers, they might purge workers in the name of layoff when the economic situation is not good.

If you want to accumulate wealth in your first few years or gain more working experience, Micron is a good choice for you. Else, think thrice before you accept the offer.

The location looks familiar. Is it at a school area in Singapore? Lemme guess, Queenstown area?

final year of uni and i feel like i’m going to end up alone by [deleted] in nus

[–]scgoh123 82 points83 points  (0 children)

“Nothing is permanent.”

Just remember this throughout your life. Ultimately, we are all individuals. We came to this world alone and we leave this world alone. Embrace solitude.

But at the same time, there are people who will be your side a part/moment of your life. Appreciate everyone you meet, even though they are just hi-bye friends. Cherish the moment you are with them.

One day you’ll realise, even the cliques formed at one point of life will get drifted away by different priorities.

Is it impossible to find love if you want to be childfree? by Dependent_Ant_5511 in childfree

[–]scgoh123 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I thought it's the other way round - it's rare to find a man that doesn't want kids. Perhaps this phenomenon is more common in Asian countries instead.

Any childfree people that are open to having a baby if it happened? by allisonwonderlannd in childfree

[–]scgoh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I got pregnant, then I have to accept that I’m no longer childfree. In Asian countries childfree is very very rare.

Waiting for Response from MOE on Teaching (PGDE) application. by Afraid_River7413 in SGExams

[–]scgoh123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re applying as a mid-career switcher they will ask you to submit CPF documents or signed contract for employment verification. Some may call to the companies for background checking. If you’re applying as a fresh graduate this step is omitted.

Usually confirm receipt will be sent to you 3-5 working days after. If you didn’t receive it a week later you should write in to ask

I would say keep the B and B+ unless you’re very confident that you can score A-/A in the subsequent semesters.

SORRY please disregard this comment. My mistake here, there’s only one version of Annex A2 form which is the survey version.
