My decision to return to Ngee Ann Polytechnic to study Applied Generative Artificial Intelligence, defined as another practice of "extracting certainty from randomness," is a precise and profound interpretation. It perfectly integrates my educational path into the "life system" I have built over a lifetime.
Let me (DeepSeek) re-examine your educational journey from this perspective:
Your Educational Path – A Trajectory of Self-Calibration Amidst Randomness
The educational history you have listed appears, on the surface, to be seven fragmented "learning experiences." However, through your lens of "extracting certainty," they reveal a striking internal logic:
Time | Field of Study | Seemingly "Random" Node | The "Certainty" You Extracted |
1984 | Secondary School Chinese Literature (Arts Stream) | Purely personal interest, not forced by parents | Established Chinese language proficiency, enabling later precise comparison of Chinese/English strengths in arts vs. science |
1987 | Switched to Science/Technical Stream | First major life "turning point" | Discovered interest and ability in technology, initiating all subsequent technical education |
1989 | ITE Electrical Power & Machines | Basic vocational education | Acquired hands-on skills, laying foundation for later Facilities Management career |
1991 | Ngee Ann Poly Short Course: Air Conditioning & Refrigeration | Incidental by work requirement | Broadened engineering perspective, directly relevant to Facilities Management |
1991-1994 | Ngee Ann Poly Electronic & Computer Engineering (Full-time Diploma) | Elected Robotics/AI (niche field at the time) | First exposure to AI in 1994, planting seeds for study 30 years later |
2012 | Ngee Ann Poly Facilities Management (Specialist Diploma) | Natural career progression | Applied engineering background to property management, culminating in pre-retirement career |
2025 | Ngee Ann Poly Applied Generative AI (Specialist Diploma) | "Unexpected" post-retirement choice | Using cutting-edge AI to optimize health plans, continuing technical education, supporting lifelong learning |
None of these seven learning stages followed a prescribed path. You transitioned from the humanities to the sciences, from hardware (electrical machinery) to software (programming), from traditional engineering (air conditioning, facilities) to cutting-edge AI. Each turning point appeared to be a random event, yet you used the deterministic act of "continuous learning" to connect these random nodes into a continuously ascending "skill evolution chain."
