The end of the year is fast approaching, bringing with it the last leg of a student's academic year and of course, examinations! Do you have a child whose exams are upon them but whose grades need just that right amount of additional boost? Just Us Tutors might be what you are looking for!  While Just Us Tutors don't believe that grades should be the primary focus of a student's academic life, they do realise that it is a very valid concern of parents'. Hence, they work with the child to help them understand the subject matter in an engaging manner. This helps the student retain their knowledge for longer periods, enabling them to apply those knowledge during their exams.  Still wondering if Just Us Tutors might be the right choice for your child? Read on... Why Just Us Tutors? 1.

 Theme parks are great fun to visit with your friends and loved ones. And you would probably wish that those good memories remain with you a long time after. What better way to do that than to get some memorabilia in the form of some cute merchandise from the theme park! Visiting Tokyo DisneySea with my partner was an amazing experience and I wanted to remember those great times for a long time. So I got myself some of their merchandises. While buying them, I took into consideration whether they might serve a greater purpose in the longer term than just being decorative. Because really what is the point of getting something that is just going to collect dust in your home? Well, in this post, I have written about some of the merch I bought from Tokyo DisneySea that I am still happily using months later. Hope they will help you in deciding what kind of merchandise you would like to purchase for yourself! 1. Printed Boxers Toy Story's Alien and Aladdin's Genie (foreground) as well

 My Korean drama journey began not too long ago, within the last year, and it was because of a strong recommendation from my best friend. The show she recommended - Goblin or as listed on IMDb, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. I got through all sixteen episodes real quickly and was itching for more Korean-language content.  I casted my net widely and tested the waters with various genres. I can't say I have enjoyed every show that I watched but I now have some absolute favourites from each genre! If you are looking for some K-drama to watch, I am excited to share these with you which I feel are great places to kickstart your own journey into the world of K-dramas. So, here is the unveiling of my top 5 picks (in no particular order) ... Fantasy Element 1. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (2016) One-Line Synopsis : An immortal goblin roaming the Earth aimlessly is in search for his human bride who will have the power to end his life. The premise of Goblin is really one of its st

My master's journey has been a wonderful experience that I never once regretted taking on. It was made even more special with me winning the SCS Gold Medal & Prize 2022 (for being the student with the best CAP in Information Systems specialisation for the year 2021-2022). Those four semesters just went by in a flash and I have to admit that some days were rather crazy and hectic while others a little more palatable. But throughout it all, I tried to do several things to keep me going and help me attain that Master's degree and I will share some of those in this post. While my Master's degree was in Computing with a specialisation in Information Systems (IS), I feel these tips could apply generally to any Master's programme. I would also like to mention that I did my Masters completely online via zoom classes (due to the Covid-19 situation) so there might be certain aspects more applicable to online classes but mostly, the tips here do apply for most situations. Dis

Two years and four semesters - the time it took me to complete my Masters programme. Those times just went by in a flash. Sometimes, I can't believe that I am now a postgraduate! Balancing work and studies wasn't the easiest thing but somehow I managed to pull through and I'm positive that so will you all! I rounded off my Master of Computing journey with two Semester 2 modules - IS5002 and IS5004 and I will share my opinions of them here and hope that it helps you with your semester planning and module selections. Do check out my other posts too, where I covered my Year 1, Semester 1 modules - IS5005 and IS5009 ,   Year 1, Semester 2 modules - IS5008, IS5111 and IS5128   and  Year 2, Semester 1 modules - CS5228, IS5116 and IS5151 .

I wanted to see my work published somewhere. For it to have a profound effect upon people, to be admired and praised for the sheer genius of what comes out of this brilliant mind of mine. But all these wants and daydreaming of one day receiving hordes of accolades and admiration have only resulted in one thing - the demise of my writing. I never got round to writing anything. I guess the fear of failure did get to me in the end. I simply stopped, and for a long time didn't even think of writing. It is amazing what uncontrolled fear can do. It can stop you from doing the simple things that you used to enjoy doing. Things that you do simply because of the joy it gives you.  It is amazing what uncontrolled fear can do.
