Civic / HRV / Mazda3 / Corolla Cross

Hello all, which one will you choose based on the following criteria:
1. Exterior, good looking, sporty and muscular. (Could be subjective)
2. Interior quality (be it aesthetic / build quality).
3. Comfort ride, quiet cabin and nice handling.
4. Durability and reliability of the car.

Mostly city drive.
Fuel efficiency is not in the equation, preferring hybrid because I feel like it’s a bit more quiet.

Please give a bit suggestions/experience, thanks!

Alternatives to Tissot PRX

flying_duck — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 11:35:20 +0800

Hi all sifus, I want to get myself an entry affordable watch, and I came across Tissot PRX and Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, both look amazing to me, design wise.
From the official Tissot website, Tissot PRX is priced at RM 1,500 and the powermatic 80 one is priced at RM 2,800, both are quite affordable.

However, I have a small wrist, and I watched a few youtube videos about these watches, although the case is 40mm, the length between endlinks is roughly 52mm.
It seems to be too big for my wrist, hence I'm looking for alternatives.
My budget is RM 3,000, please suggest me similar alternatives with such designs. Thanks!

I do not have tool to measure my wrist size.
*Attached is my wrist with 42mm Apple Watch 3 for your reference.

Part time PhD Job

flying_duck — Thu, 01 Oct 2020 16:07:46 +0800

Hi,

I'm currently looking for a part time PhD position in deep learning / machine learning / IT area.
I just got my Master degree in Computer Science, and would love to do research by continuing PhD (IT, computer science or relevant).
My supervisor has a ready project for me, however that particular area is not in my field of interest.

Hence, I tried to search for part time PhD position on google and couldn't find any, they are all full-time positions. At the same time, I'm also starting to prepare my research proposal so that I can still register PhD programme in the university if I could not find any part time PhD position at the end.

Does anyone have any suggestion on where I can look for this opportunity?
Thanks.

Difficult to leave due to long notice period..

Possess almost 4 years of software development experience in .Net,
but having 6 month notice period is kinda discouraging to consider the candidate for most of the companies out there..

Not considering tender resignation letter before securing an offer because of personal commitment,
The current market seems like really unstable now hence can't risk to simply resign too.

Is it really difficult to secure a job offer in related fields with this ridiculous notice period?
Kindly advice. Thanks.
