Hello everyone. I’ve been bad. My last post was almost 9 months back when I shared the great news of me landing my new role as a Software Engineer. I didn’t quite get into the details of where and what I’d be doing because one, I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it […]
I got an offer!
After a couple of bitter posts, I finally have something pleasant to share! As most of you who read my blog may know that I’ve been applying for a developer position since late March/early April and that my goal was to secure a job by end June in the technology industry as that would be […]
“I am not my thoughts; I am what I do.”
I got back from a vacation in Krabi, Thailand 2 weeks ago. I was there for 6 days and managed to finish 2 books. One of the books is Unfuck Yourself by Gary John Bishop – it inspired me a lot as I could relate it to my current situation so I decided to write […]
Have an ice cream and keep going.
I mentioned in my previous post that I had 3 interviews in the pipeline. Well, I decided to forgo the third one as I wasn’t bold enough to attempt the assessment that was sent to me. It’s in Java and I reckoned I needed to at least learn it first. That left me with 2 […]
Graduated!
I’m officially done with school! Yep, and I say official because I got my certificate. The past two weeks were all about refining our final project for our presentation 2 days ago. It was held at Microsoft’s Singapore office and it was nerve-wrecking for all of us. There were about 40 – 60 people in […]
Bootcamp: 9 Weeks Down
It’s 3 more weeks to the end of my coding bootcamp. I’ve learned so much over the past 2 months. During the second week of my course, I blogged about how I created a racing game and a portfolio site. 7 weeks later, with the help of another classmate of mine, we already created a site […]
BootCamp Week 2
I’m going to go straight into the coding I’ve did this week since I haven’t done that in awhile. We learnt Bootstrap, Handlebars and Express to create our personal webpage that includes our portfolio (the racing car game I mentioned last week) and MongoDB and Mongoose to store database in the backend for the form […]
BootCamp Week 1
We started with 10 people in the BootCamp and ended week 1 with 6. 4 people left the course due to various reasons and I could understand why a couple of them gave up. We were taught command line, Javascript, HTML, CSS and DOM from Monday to Wednesday. We worked on Katas and because we […]
Pre-camp Preparations
As I mentioned in my previous post that I received my welcome package from school 2 weeks ago and there’s a few assignments to be completed by tomorrow. Tomorrow. Being away the whole of last week for my holiday didn’t help but I don’t regret it at all because the trip was a dream come […]
Let’s go!
I received my welcome package yesterday. There is quite a bit to do from now until my orientation day on 11th January 2018. I’ve already set up a development environment on my laptop so that’s a good start. The school recommended some additional reading materials and there’s this one that speaks my mind so well […]
