I went to my children’s Parent’s Evening session recently, where parents are invited to meet with their children’s teacher and discuss about their children. This has been the 6th time that I went to one of these I think, since coming to the UK. It is quite useful, and especially very important early on as…
My daughter came home recently and asked whether she could join a music lesson, which costs £49 a month. I’ve seen it before and I was ready to say no, but she added that the lesson was done during class and her friend(s?) who joined it had to skip class. I was horrified! She calmed…
During a discussion recently on participation of people in study groups, one of the comments was people were ‘disappearing’ during the study session, and not asking questions. While the former is true and some people just click join and do something else, the second got me to think, about why some people don’t (or do)…
I’ve subscribed to chatGPT premium or whatever it is called that you have to paid, so I am making use of it. I’ve previously asked it to translate and transliterate a Korean song, and it was quite useful. It collected all the notes from websites that do all the lyrics, and put a ‘human’ touch…
I’m a fan of learning new things and in the same vein, re-learning things that I have learnt before. For example I’ve relearned how to drive when I came to the UK, in order to pass the driving licence test. I’ve also relearned about signalling when I move to the UK, and also learned new…

I was almost finished with my working hours when I started watching the video below. I was working from home and my wife asked whether the video counts as working hours. https://youtu.be/CsGELduKK1U?si=WwZ90dEc6Mi4H3-Z Well I was almost finished but the video is surprisingly quite related to work. I have a vague idea about toy or model…
I am a bit stingy with money and when buying things I try to make the most of things. In the UK where it is compulsory to show the price per kilogram, this is quite easy because you just choose the ones that cost the least for the same weight. But things get a bit…
Recently I’ve been working on a few projects that requires understanding some very wide and deep topics, particularly EULYNX and SSI. I don’t know about other people but I find them very hard to understand, and I can see people making careers by just explaining them to people. So when I am required to design…
