✨ Highlights of the Week

after ages, as i finally got some time, i arranged a lesson again with artsy to advance my beatbox knowledge, my goal next is to compete in one of the biggest asia beatbox competitions, this time, i learnt from all the mistakes i made from last wildcard, lack of prep, time management, location, stress under pressure while filming and equipment disadvantages… not gonna happen again this time, and i set myself to have this ready 2 months before and recorded 1 month before, and make sure it has 0 flaws.

thats my goal now, and sub goals are that im trying to get more new sounds and hopefully i can get this first sound thats called Bone Roll.. been trying for 3 days, got the concept but couldn’t do it, it’s rare… usually i get a sound in less than 6 hours, and this feeling is really discouraging for me right now uhhh but i got this, watch me

and the rest i gotta do is actually trusting the process, i got this. and i’ve always been so grateful to be able to do what i want to do, when i want to do something, i get things done.

beatboxing has been my good friend for 10 years, oMG, yes it’s 10th year now…….. OMG!

i didn’t even think about it until writing it down, 2016 was the year i learnt beatboxing.

another version of me

that is a completely diff self; i get to be an aggressive battler on stage

get to express what’s in my head in a form of voices

man.

isn’t beatboxing fun?

📋 Recap

📚 NUS

Scored 10/10 on the fourth quiz, having worked nine of the ten answers before checking any of them, against three that had needed correcting on the last one
Audited Week 4 and found the tracker recording state without ever rendering a verdict on it, which is how four topics sat below the first mastery level unnoticed
Archived six Canvas announcements that had been read and never filed, every one of them a rule rather than a notice
Closed the Week 4 project milestone 31 hours before the deadline while missing my own, and committed a placeholder into a classroom repo whose main branch cannot be rewritten, so it stays there for good

✍️ Blog

Published the DeepSeek harness note, written on 18 August and left sitting in a folder for twelve days, which is what a note ships live means when nobody is holding the gate

🔧 Projects

🏋️ Gym Buddy

Let a coach run a student’s session from their own phone, logging every set into it, and hand the account back with an invite the student claims themselves
Added Credits, a lifetime number derived from the training log that only ever rises, sitting beside the rank score that can fall
Opened the rank ladder on your own standing rather than on everyone else’s, and gave each rung its own ring
Put likes and comment threads on a take, and gave the Lobby one page for everything addressed to you
Put today’s roster on the Lobby, and opened a movement onto whoever else trains it
Made a day close on what is known rather than on what went well, so a rest day still closes and the run through it survives
Made the next-day suggestion rank by which muscles are still uncovered rather than by which day has waited longest
Stocked the plans shelf from the database and gave it a browse page, so the catalogue changes without a deploy
Dropped the gates on weigh-ins and post-session reviews, so every account gets both
Kept the rest timer running across an app kill, and took back the long press that gave the app away as a web page
Cut what the busiest pages read, after one Lobby feed page turned out to cost forty-two thousand rows to draw twenty-four cards

🛠️ Tooling and site

Taught the handoff skill to read the session’s own messages back off disk, since everything it had ever dropped was something said out loud rather than written down

💪 Fitness

Learned that a full-body day beats a split for anyone training about once a week, since one visit is then a complete session rather than a third of one
Caught a cue going out at half its length, where the missing half was the part that does the work
