Semester Four Results Out

Today is results release date & similarly, didn't really feel the heat unlike my peers since yesterday. My stand is that even if you check now or next week, your results won't change, so why the rush? Came back from work around 7pm & did a short 15km run on a new refreshing running route. The Tanglin area is...

IPPT go or no go?

Got a call from my NS bunkmate Daryl yesterday asking whether I was posted to a unit. Apparently most of us commanders even our troopers had calls on their postings over the pass weeks, except for a few including me. With my IPPT window closing soon comes the big question - must I take IPPT when I did not...

The police won't come into the picture as they said they will only do so if...

Earthquake tremors in Central Singapore

It rocked today at work, well literally - Sumatra today was hit by earthquake measuring 6.3-6.6 on the Richter scale at about 12 noon today. I recalled a moment when I suddenly felt dizzy, like desk started swaying, then I noticed the floor was swaying TOO! Then I thought: "Why am I so disorientated? Am I really stressing myself...

Shutdown Day 24th March 2007

24th March is shutdown day folks. Just like "don't drive your car day" or "no smoking day" or "kill the girbills in the trash day", try to do as the name suggests ya? Like not turning on your desktop/laptop without the mouth-foaming withdrawal symptoms. 24th march is the date to mark on the calendar falling on a Saturday (and...

Post 2007 CNY

Chinese New Year is rather short this year, but very much more enjoyable than last year. Namely because it's the first time in about 5 years where all our families come together under one roof at my grandma's place, lunch and dinner included. Previously one of my Uncles kinda like went down in a family contractor business. Being in-debt...

First Week of Internshp (ITP)

ITP this holidays is a unique one, being only 9 weeks short, not many companies are...

Its holiday! But only for this week…

Despite the sun coming out quite nicely these days, the whether and ambient temperature is still holding out nice and cool in my area.

Morning temperatures are around 25 Degrees Celsius (readings from my desk clock), with rather frequent strong...

Too easy to score, Engineering Materials II

With some new found time before dinner today, let me just spend some time talking about the paper I had today. Engineering Materials II. It's TOO EASY! wahahah it's really a disappointment, studied and researched so much out of the box and the questions which came out are all repeated from the class! A typical case of overkill? Like using a...
