I had few ideas of a technically possible self-sufficient green home, only that I didn't put much of it to work till the recent recent increase in oil prices which resulted in a corresponding increase in goods and service, utility bills, not to mention paying for gasoline for your car. As a picture speak more than words, here's a...
Look what I got unexpectedly in the mail- A thick blue plastic wrapped package which reads Imperial College London, whoa presents! cool!
Ripping out the contents revealed a full 140 odd full colour printed 2009 prospectus on yes you guessed it, on Imperial College itself. And hey it's even more posh than the one Trinity of Cambridge sent me....
Met up with my old workshop TSO on my last Tuesday's visit to school and since the Segway debate is still under the wraps of being a legal car alternative in Singapore, I will just touch on abit of the issue here, elaborating and stating the facts on how I find much our current country-wide strict regulations still being...
Was around school yesterday to settle some administrative stuffs, so I was very much busy the whole day, so I will blog on it today (technically at 12am+). My UCAS application to Imperial and Cambridge are almost ready, the thing left are some documents and academic transcripts verified true-copy and ready so I can send them over to the...
Was ready the Sunday times lifestyle section about the new soya bean drinks. We had seen bubble tea bubble burst and the donut store fisaco ending soon, so what's next? Coloured/favored Soya Bean Drinks? I love soya bean drinks and they are a good filling snack drink not to mention a good source of supplementary natural calcium and protein...
This is one of the few hot movies to be out this year, besides other favorites such as Ironman and Wall-E. There had been other similar movies of this concept to date, but none of them are as specular as this new movie coming out summer this year, predictably early-to-mid this August. The Death Race another rip at the...
My mum was home today doing the laundry with the washing machine when it's spin dry cycle suddenly went awry, and started lots of rattling noises seemingly going to spin itself to oblivion, before turning it off. Then the whole wash area suddenly having this musty but otherwise strong mold smell, something similar you get if you burn a...
Apparently these short little clips were aired on the Animal planet channel, but managed to catch all of them online, so why not share some of the funnies while I am at it. The 'The Animals Save the Planet" comprises of many short clips (11 in total) which aims to teach the green way of life and saving the...
Looking back at my runs last year topping a descent 1000km, runs for this year had been very much reduced significantly mainly because of other bigger commitments besides running, but things will only be temporary over this period.
Runs updates so far, not excluding those gym visits in school
Alexandra Park Connector Route:
4th April - 13.02km
29 May - 12.06km
2nd June -...
As part of the Open House on this week, I will be giving a short talk segment from 1 to 1.30pm at the Singapore Polytechnic Convention Center tomorrow. I thank the SP media communications department for inviting me to speak. It will be focused mainly on the life and experiences of choosing the Polytechnic route compared to JC with...
Barack Obama, have a lock on the Democratic presidential nomination. As things are looking up for their party, it's time the wounds are healed between the party's favorite candidates as Clinton maneuvers for the Vice President slot.
As quoted by Obama speaking in a packed sports arena:
"Senator Hillary Clinton has made history in this campaign not just because she's a...
Well there had been quite alot in the news of the new cross-border pump rules for Singaporean vehicles up north, let be those from Thailand similarly not able to pump subsidized petrol 50km from the borders. I remembered it being almost implemented and mentioned last few weeks only to be rumored to be scrapped, but revived again in today's...

I will in campus...
Got to chomp onto some of these little Pandas over the last weekday, but didn't get to talk about them or take a picture of them in their natural habitat after catching some of them at Breaktalk again yesterday. Interestingly, these little bread buns, priced at $2 each is part of a charity effort by Breadtalk themselves in aid...
About 2-3 days after I requested a 2008 prospectus from Cambridge. It arrived in a shiny wrapped blue envelope, the lack of any intrusive airmail postage and the impressive short delivery time probably signals this set of printed documents originating from a repository in Singapore, possibly the British council.
I am intending to apply for a place in Trinity...
Hadn't been following in depth much on current issues, except the headlines lately, being tied down at work, tomorrow is my last day as a official "sai-kang" staff in SP so things are starting to pick p the pace again.
Looking at the recent front page headlines of the Straits Times since last week with nothing but death and destruction...
Picture a scenario of you washing you hands at the toilet sink and doing your hair thereafter in front of the mirror when a picture simply just appears right in front of your face asking you to buy a particular product, catch Rambo 4 or join the Navy.
I think that could be the of many things to come...
