Maybe i should talk a bit about the event.

It's a Bug Hunt programme. Basically, i play as a member of the blue team to defend my system against invading red team members. The event lasted for about 3 weeks and because of it, i have to stay longer at some of the days.

The thing i felt about this event...is that it was rigged to be impregnable to be from the start.

We are locking out attackers on the account-level privileges, denying them access because their "access cards" were not ready and we delay the process of card creation as much as possible.

Needless to say, we came out on top and didn't really faced much threats.

Nor were we found with any major findings or points of observation.

Rigged i say.

March and April was a bit more interested. My supervisor decided to spam me with random nonsensical requests that don't really belong in my work scope. So i just blocked him on communications and literally just ignored him.

Towards the end of March, on the day of my interview for a teaching position, got into a heated argument with my supervisor. I literally questioned his competency in leading the team and whether or not he is aware of what the people in the team are doing.

It didn't really end well, with the only conclusion being i unblocked him on communications. But to be fair, since that day i have received a lot less spam from him.

Then i went for the interview. Thought i did ok with an experiment to demonstrate the independence of mass in relation to the time taken for objects of different mass to hit the ground from a fixed height.

...but i fumbled when asked what qualities a teacher should have. Thinking back, i felt that this question is so trivial. Yet, at that point in time, i was unable to answer it because it felt like such a textbook question i could not bring myself to answer it.

3rd day of May. Notice came that i failed the application.

Despair came.

Till next one.

 Day 2...but i will be writing about yesterday instead. I set off early in the morning at 8am towards Tokyo station from my hotel. It was a good 20 minutes walk and with decent, cooling weather as well. I found out that opposite my building is a Konami building (although, later in the day when i return i would find that the building houses their Esports studio and school. I managed to get a Welcome Suica card at the Information Cafe of Tokyo station after a good 10 minutes of looking at the directory. The process of getting the card was simple as the staff was able to communicate in English. After i have gotten the pass, i started to look for Shinkansen ticketing machines. Because i was leaving in a short while, all of the reserved seats are already occupied and there was not much of a choice here. The plus of a non-reserved Shinkansen ticket is that you are free to board the non-reserved cabins anytime, as the ticket lasts for 4 days. I arrived at the platform to mad crowding. The...

 Holy RA it's already near the end of April of 2025. Since the last post i've made a second booking to Japan, been there and returned. The visit this time was less of a rush but at the same time, i spent more time relaxing (idling) in the hotel. Originally i've planned annual visits in October of each year but i kind of felt like going again. So i made a booking towards the end of January. Unfortunately, the timing is not really good this time as the weather was pretty dark and gloomy throughout the trip. The Sun only showed up at the last 2 days of the trip. --- This time, i've visited Shizuoka again for its sushi. Same store. Same taste. I've also went to Enoshima and had "Enoshima Don", a seafood egg rice. I've mistaken "Yurantei" for the "Uomitei" that i wanted to visit. Nonetheless, the food is good. I'll visit someday again. Also, fulfilled my dream of taking the Sunrise Express, visiting Izumo and the famed Izumo Taisha (...

 ...with how tired i was in Japan daily, it was easy to leave out writing. For example, i'm already back in Singapore. Following the previous post, i made my way to Ueno Park, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Shikansen down to Shizuoka and visited Sunpu Castle, took a river cruise around Sumidagawa with Tokyo Cruise and ended a full day trip spending money in Akihabara buying old consoles. I'll think about whether i want to go into the details. The last actual day, Friday 18 Oct, was kind of a waste as i was "kicked out" of the hotel early and spent the day in the Airport instead. The storage was full so i couldn't leave my luggage in the airport and go somewhere else. I also can only check it in only 3 hours before the actual flight. It's a good trip overall, even with all the downtime. I am already looking forward to returning next year. I am also going to go for a Business class seat again next year.
