SP E-learning Done!

Well I am back from a period of relatively long absence, not much your typical case of fleeing from reality but actually getting in touch with it on the contrary. Yup with an "offfphh", gravity caught back onto me after my day off on Monday (which you can recall being the last day of my round island expedition). Things...

Back from round Island Trekking

Hey hey, I am back from my group round Singapore trekking expedition. Overall the trip was rather manageable with the group generally seeing ourselves traveling the bulk of the journey on foot in the day, stopping to rest at regular breakpoints. Contrary to walking in the night (which we did on day-night 1), which is relatively cooler. Our nights...

Piling Homework and looming SP E-learning

It was a very busy week in campus, namely trying to get tutorials and undone work (which seem to keep on coming) finished. Now I have 5 different tutorials, all from different modules waiting to be completed. At least cleared my Industrial Automation Lab Test today, maybe can get 100 for that. E-learning week would be following next week,...

New Photostitch image, Useronline Currently Down

😕 Theres a minor bug with the site's users online counter. It will be a moment where functionality will be restored. Nevertheless, the photostitch page has been rewritten and optimized, with a new 180 degree paranomic image I took last Saturday of the old Kallang national stadium added. You can check it out here.

The Rotaract & Leo Club Treasure Hunt

That's a cardboard dart board in case your were wondering. There's was a 3 day orientation camp in SP since last Friday comprising of juniors from The Rotaract and Leo Club, ending on the third and last day (today) with a city-wide treasure hunt. Peili called me to help out as a station master pair for today's event which...

BYOPC lan party, Meetin Alec, Taiwan F5 Jet Crash

Company Late Night Lan Gaming Session With some time I have before leaving to the national stadium this afternoon, let me just talk about some things which happened during the past week, particularly yesterday and leaving the stresses of FYP aside. Yes, and 1 week in advance, my boss called me up asking whether I can make it for their...

My 3 person project team

With all of the DME students already starting on their Final year project (FYP), my team on the DME CIE option will start ours next semester - it being a dedicated whole semester concentrating day-to-day on project work itself. My team of 4 was finalized, so was our intended project to build a compressed air-powered mini car in the...

Blood Donation weight loss solution

I lost weight! aha 400 grams? If that is the capacity of the blood donation sachet. There's a blood donation drive at SP today, today being the third and last day to catch the HSA before they carry on in their round island mobile donation drive (or you can pop by HSA @ outram anyday too). The donation area,...

Me and my Sleep Debt

The week's been very slow lately, with 0km of runs covered, lots of work/chores piling up, a packed weekend agenda all coupled with a large sleep debt. I simply just cannot get the hang of 8am classes, which I am always late for and takes up 4/5 of my school week. But that didn't stop me from "killin' myself"...

Some Soccer!

Choices today: Go watch Spiderman-3 with cousin, go for a relaxing swim and tan by the pool (as the sun is so freakin' invitingly hot today), go to campus for junior's orientation & street soccer or stay at home to finish up another few more tutorials to last me till mid-semester. Though I am not totally the best of shape,...

3rd Week of Semester, Bus-fying

I was late and had to make a choice between 2 bus services arriving together at the stop today (service 14 and 147, both superbuses which I can take to campus). Though 14 has a shorter traveling time, the 8am peak traffic at the AYE always slows things down considerably. The service 147 thou, spots the newer Volvo B9TL...

Blood Donation Drive in Singapore Polytechnic

Generally I only see myself donating blood about once every year, otherwise I won't be able to do so when training picks up, if not my coach will really drain my blood if I declare "rest" from blood donation. For yea peeps in campus who can't make it down to HSA, or don't seem to get much of CCA...

The Sun Detests Me, Cutting down on Runs

Came back from an afternoon swim straight after school on Friday. Loved it, the pool is so empty I even can have 2 dedicated lanes on the Olympic pool for myself. I will be pushing my weekly Sunday swims to mostly Fridays now (missing Friday track & field in the process), as we swimmers do not have to share...

Picking up the Campus Pace, FYP

School It's April and into the 2nd week of the semester. My new class is now DME FT/3A/10, which is a merged CIE class (my previously class went to 5 people end of last semester), so we have 20 odd people now, particularly the other class from the other DME CIE class. For the standard DME & DARE courses that...

SP Vista Bad Posters! haha

Besides those freaky monster recycling bins the Environment Club had sprouting all around campus, noticeably are some posters stuck around the grounds as well, particularly going against a certain operating system which calls itself similarly like 2 hinged apparatus which you can open and close for ventilation in your home. Take that ownage! Oh yea, on that as well, completed...

Screwy SBS Bus Bell

This is so funny I simply just have to post it here. Phone recorded this on my bus trip to campus today with the funny stuffs around 5-6 secs of the 13 sec clip. Simply can't stop chuckling each time I hear it, let be the all the commuters on that crowded bus who have to put up with...

School Reopens, “work” to “campus” mode again

Well school had re-opened and I am my 5th Semester having cleared my Internship the last 2 months and graduating in about less than a year's time. Things are starting to get up on pace, namely new thick sets of lecture notes and considerably more visits to the library for books again. This is technically my last academic semester and...

My Internship, as a chapter closes

And there we have it, 9 weeks of internship gone in a flash and school's reopening next week. Time do flies and it's not exactly "tiring" or "difficult", but strangely neither as the saying goes: "Time passes when you are having fun". Lets face the facts, work is not always enjoyable, that's why people get paid to work! But...

Lunch at Miss Clarity Cafe

And there it goes again: can you believe it? hardly 2 days and I am back at Miss Clarity's Cafe again for a meal! (along Purvis street, just opposite The National library). This time being lunch. On a hindside, lunch is a comparatively different experience to dinner, mostly in terms of the environmental ambiance, but no difference in terms...
