Pieces of my life

I went to Iceland with my family for a 13-day self-driving trip in 2023 November. Here’s our itinerary and my review of each of the spots we went to.

I got into the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University in Sep 2019 and graduated in Jun 2023. There were a lot of ups and downs, but in the end, everything turned out to be okay.

Stupid, but chill.

Taiwanese born between 1994 to 2004 are obligated to serve in the military for 4 months (it’s 1-year for those born before 1994 and after 2004). It is divided into 2 phases: the 1-month training phase and the 3-month serving phase. My experience in the training phase can be seen here. For the 2nd phase, we are assigned to various troops all over the territory semi-randomly. Each batch of soldiers in the training phase will have lots from different sets of troops, and for some reason, the lots for ours were all troops in Taichung, which is our hometown. What was crazier was that, there was quite some lots for the military hospital, which is arguably the best place to serve the 2nd phase.

Each conscript of the ROC military is required to write 2 entries each week, one for your thoughts about a given topic, and another as your general journal about what happened in the past week.

In Skyrim, with mods, imagination is your only limitation. Here are some important things to know about Skyrim mods.

Since my first-authored paper was accepted to IEEE WCNC 2023, held in Glasgow this year, and the spring break of Taiwan was luckily right after the conference, I had the opportunity to do a small subsidized solo trip in Scotland for about 10 days (excluding flights).

After a huge anticipation, I finally managed to complete my fourth day of skiing alone in Cairngorm National Park.

Edinburgh is a very beautiful city. It feels more open and big than Glasgow, though it may not be. The roads are bigger, and there are more things to see. Not saying it’s “better” than Glasgow, but overall it just feels more like a big city.
