Welcome to Waydespectives

Greetings.

I write this blog with many intentions, and hence this blog will not be very organized.

I am currently serving in the Singapore Armed Forces. So, some of my posts will naturally be about my experiences with the SAF. I am not in the position to divulge any confidential information, though I may comment on my views of the SAF, as well as the good, the bad, and the things they need to ke belakang pusing (turn back) on. #628daystoORD

If all goes well, I will be attending the National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Law come August 2020, and I'm scheduled to graduate with the Class of 2024. When I enroll into Law School, I will share my experiences about NUS Law. In the meantime, I will be writing a few articles about my journey into Law. This is not so much for the general viewer, as it is for any of my juniors who wish to apply for Law.

I also have a keen interest in Current Affairs, hence I will share my views on them often. My pet topics are Education, Politics, and general Singapore affairs. I will share my honest opinions on the state of policies affecting these areas, at the risk of sounding not politically correct.

Finally, I may blog on significant life moments and my random thoughts, though more private moments will be shown exclusively to my friends and family on my other social media platforms.

As I need to continue writing to keep my brain fresh, in view that I'm not studying for two years, and thereafter enrolling in an intensive university course, I will aim to publish a post at least once per week.

In this blog, I pledge to give my honest opinions, no matter how humbling, belittling, or brutal it might become. You have been warned.

Lastly, I welcome you to share your views on matters that are close to your hearts and mine. Let's engage in meaningful discussions. But let's keep the discussion civil and good spirited. There is no need for unnecessary negativity.

With that, welcome to Waydespectives.

Review of Circles.Life (1 Month On)

About more than a month ago, I wrote a blog post about wanting to change telco away from Singtel to a telco which provides more data for lesser costs. During the IT Show, it was down to M1 and Circles Life. I chose Circles Life in the end because of a lower overall cost (looking to the future), considering its popularity, and partially because M1's queue was super long (more than 3 hours wait). After more than a month of usage, it is a good timing for me to blog about my experience using Circles Life, to talk about the pros and cons. Although I got my new SIM on a Saturday, I had to continue using my Singtel SIM until Monday night, when the port over took place. In the meantime, I was trying to figure out the Circles Life app. My new SIM, which was a temporary number from Circles Life, had to be used to activate the app. Afterwards, I registered my existing number for the port over, and then changed back to my old SIM. On Monday evening, I changed over to my new SIM and used WiF...

Journey to the License: The End (Part 1)

As many who have been following my Instagram and Facebook would know, I've revealed last week that I passed my driving test, and am now officially a qualified driver! Although I passed my test on 4 Jan (9 days ago), I generally kept the pass as a secret from many till my Driver's License came and when I posted last week. I realized that my previous 2 posts on the Journey to the License was not too well received, and perhaps they were a bit long winded. Therefore, I also decided that since I've made my test pass public, I will also wrap up the series by talking about what happened since I passed my internal evaluation till the driving test. As for what happened during stage 2-4, those interested can drop me a message, or maybe one day I'll write about it (or on a separate link). I managed to pass my 5.01 Internal Evaluation on 23 December last year, having secured a rare Session 5 (the OT slot for BBDC instructors). Given that the date was near Christmas, many i...

On MUN and my High School Life

Before I start, I would like to pay tribute to the late, great Kofi Annan, former United Nations (UN) Chief, who passed away at a ripe old age of 80. Mr Annan lived a life worth remembering, having brought the UN through trying times such as the invasion of Iraq. He was also the founder of the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), and set the direction for the UN going into the 21st century. He was not the most successful UN Secretary General, but he certainly left the UN in a better place than when he inherited it. Thank you sir. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently, I was invited back to NUSHS for the SDYC Dinner and Dance. For the uninitiated, SDYC stands for Sustainable Development Youth Convention, my school's version of a MUN. For the still uninitiated, MUN stands for Model UN, a simulation of the actual UN when youths come together to represent different countries (or stakeholders) and debate on issues concerni...
