Reanimating Project Work

The last 2 project weeks saw disappointment being unable to submit our fabrication and parts order due to red tape in our school system and financial department to raise project budget. Hope things goes better this week. Monday saw the first time we managed to get the actual simulator system running with few parts borrowed all round campus, which...

Dinner with the Puah Family

Got an unexpected call from Cousin Gordon last Sunday telling me about expanding his home internet network for two PCs from one, only that he does not know how to go about doing it. He is currently on Singnet broadband and recently renewed his contract, to his dismay he did not even receive any offers or freebies on the...

IVP Day 1 over, Jobscentral Jobs Fair, N95 Updates

Just Bin It

Was at Vivocity last Saturday while my parents are round there to do some regular grocery shopping in the area. Interesting in the fresh produce section, they have these signboards in front of every dustbin saying you can throw away anything which you find bad, rotten or not to standard. Won't be surprised if we see people throwing anything...

Got my new Polar RS400sd!

Popped by Peninsula Plaza this evening to purchase my new Polar RS400sd, which I managed to get a "damned-good" lobang from a friend. Ahha! my first polar watch and a suitable successor to my Oakley O-matter sports watch. The functions and menus need some time to get accustomised to, but once using it for about 30mins, navigating the menus...

Run run run, hush on final year projects

Went for a short 16km run this evening after a week of absence from the sport, maybe I am saturated with glucose or so, but the run was totally effortless and I never felt the "wall" at all, things look good to bump the distance up by another kilometer next week runs. The Alexandra canal route was exceptionally crowded...

Cool bike wheel LEDs

Remember those LED fans from the previous NDP which paints words on the fan blades upon turning it on? It runs on a rather old concept of frequency timing in response to the blades revolution speed- so when it blinks at just the right rate, it can paint full radial text or even images programmed using only 2 blades....

Merchant Court Swissotel Ellenborough Market Cafe Buffet

This evening we were at Merchant Court Hotel. Tonight was the planned second part of my mum's birthday dinner celebrations with my family at the Ellenborough Market Cafe restaurant, only that theres no cake and cards planned for this round as compared to last week's round. It's an international buffet with an adequately sound spread of Local, Western, Thai...

More darn changes to the simulator design

It turns out some projects will require constant design revisions to be perfect. Got news from my teammate that our supervisor wants another design change to the design of the simulator, namely making it more "unique" however, this means having to go a full 360 degrees into a total revamp, reason being our design is common for most simulators....

Singapore Polytechnic 07/08 Semester 1 Results Out in full Glory!

My fifth semester results are out! Finally! a perfect score for this semester after failing to always hit the "prefect kill" mark for the last 2 semesters.

Remembering 9/11

If actions speak louder than elegy, it tells you where we are that the team coverage on the eve of the 6th anniversary of 9/11 alternated between General Petraeus' performance on Capitol Hill and Britney Spears' performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Osama returned to prime time, only to be mocked for his "impotence" and apparent need for...

Digital Image archiving and retrieval of the future

(Show more to view video) Some fancy image manipulation and retrieval program, this is technology which revolves with more people using it. I guess the idea of taking flickr sets to reconstruct 3d architecture is simply amazing! I think the demo is running off a standard conventional laptop, so we might be able to all more optimized photo galleries...
