Even my university professors were all totally hyped up about Graphene over the past year even well way after my graduation from University. In my understanding from various research groups and PhD students in Cambridge, the properties of Graphene are astonishing, the applications...

My fray as a system-administrator started with my curiosity to have a-go and enjoyment of running my server cluster to fulfil my computing and web-hosting needs.

It tough being a SBS transit bus driver these days

Looking into the limelight of the events happening recently with regards to SBS transit bus drivers, don't you think SBS transit is acting too harsh on bus captains now?

Transformers, Old Cartoons that deserve Movies, exams sighted

Hadn't had time to talk about transformers the movie which I caught previously on free passes (yea) funny that the movie didn't follow the old child hood memories I had on Optimus (flat front prime mover?), Megatron (walter giant cannon?) and Bubblebee (VW bettle) or just because of their scanner's they can turn into anything they want?

If you just want the letter to reach it intended...

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...

IPPT go or no go?

Got a call from my NS bunkmate Daryl yesterday asking whether I was posted to a unit.

Airport Security – Realistic?

Mmm, good thing an Air Terrorist plot had been foiled recently, but the air-travel industry did kinda shaken up over the past few days with increased security & inspections. Basic items like scissors, jackknifes all not allowed on board planes, even combustable laptop batteries are not permitted (thanks dell and sony) not sparing any macs either. At this rate even...

Yesterday London 2012, Today London Bombed

Thats the headline on BBC news today, in contrast to the celebration, announcement & stuffs yesterday at home about the Olympics, which is to be held at London on 2012. Sad. Luckily the damage is not that severe, with AL-Qaeda taking responsibility to all shit they had done. What they get to gain for doing such things? Blinded by...
