Massive photos update to the university section.

Aha, it's finally done. Behold, one of the largest updates to the photo galleries in a long time. The UK photo gallery has been online for sometime since early this year, but I’ve not actually found time to update anything nor caption any of the photos till my breather time this summer holidays. Thankfully for that done now,...

A visit to the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort

Upon my return back to Singapore for the summer holidays, the Marina bay sands resort is one of my few places must visit places before I head back to the UK for my next university term. I remembered passing by the ECP from the airport ogling at the newly glass-cladded monstrosities, standing on a once large undeveloped...

National Day Parade (NDP) 2010 fireworks from the Padang

A HD video I got compiled from last Monday's celebration of the national day parade 2010. Celebrating Singapore's 45 years of independence. The video essentially starts after the National anthem and lasts through the whole 5 minute firework show, ending with the president's leave from the Padang.

National day parade (NDP) 2010 at the Padang

Happy 45th birthday Singapore! And so, I was at the national day parade (NDP) tonight. I was fortunate to be invited to watch it today at a rather short notice thanks to an ex-classmate of mine who knew I was around town and happened to have an additional ticket at the last minute. :3 This was of course...

Cai Guo Qiang’s Art showcase “Head On”

Currently on display at the Singapore National museum are one of the most talked about pieces in modern art- Cai Guo-Qiang's flying pack of wolves, Head on. Just like any modern art, it can either awe, shock or draw controversial flak. But you can't deny this is a show stealer. Head on! Not an everyday scene Wolf-off! Showcase talk Located in the...

National Museum Singapura 1960 visit

The Singapore national museum had changed quite a lot since I last visited the place a few years back. The front lobby area is still left largely intact, but though seemingly nothing much has changed on the exterior, the magic comes when you enter the building. The compound now spots an extended basement exhibition hall area, effectively...

Exams are over! And I am back in Singapore!

And so the exams are over, the party's out and I am back in Singapore for another type of party. I never saw myself coming home so soon, but time really flies. Looking back, the flight back was not too much of a killer too and I guess I have much of the airline on-board flight entertainment...

It’s the end of the exams!

Looking back over my blogging absence (and my backlog of blog draft which I never see myself getting typed out for publishing), yes alot had happened. Exams literally kept me in the library nearly 18 hours a day studying. Before that, May was a month full of events and birthdays & I was literally in London almost...

7 day work week from 9am to 2am, no work benefits 😛

7 day work week, 9am to 2am, no work or health benefits 😛 Haha, that very much describes my employment benefits on my current occupation. Life as a student do have their ups and downs and I bet no one can deny that exam time is one of the main nightmares one can face. Where it's not the...

The tripos exams are coming, the tripos exams are coming!

Today marks the date where I finally finished all my example papers (tutorial homework) for my freshman year. These little buggers always try to get the best of you as homework in it's worst form, they just sap the life out of you when you try to tackle them all day long, to the extent of sometimes...

News from my poly junior- Kuriakin Zeng, Singapore Polytechnic’s first Harvard accepted student

Good news come early this may. Apparently, my Polytechnic junior Kuriakin Zeng, who's notoriously labeled now as the "Harvard, Poly reject" is the first Singapore polytechnic student who've been offered a place to study in Harvard university. As I was told by him, he will be doing engineering science in place of liberal arts. Looking back,...

A visit to London’s Tate Modern

Located in a former Power Station by the London Thames Bankside, the Tate Modern in London is Britain's national museum of international modern art. You can recognise it with it’s very iconic tall smoke stack located at the front façade of the museum- looking quite out of place in the buzzles around the Thames. The original building...

Apple’s new 4th Generation iPhone leaked? Android with HTC Incredible or iPhone 4G?

I've always been waiting for the successor of the iPhone 3Gs, apparently June 28 may not be the day the phone be announced due to a leak of a confidential unit so as claim by Gizmodo, which they had the chance to get their hands on for a review of the dud unit. Apparently, the phone was...

A visit to the London Science Museum

I was at the science museum early this month in London, it's one of the few museums which I really wanted to visit in a long time, (considering what they have on display actually floats my boat!) but never always been able to make the opening times (which closes usually at 5pm-6pm). This is so as learnt...

Back to running!

Whee, I did 5km on the treadmill today. Had been sometime since I've ran. It's good to see me back to incorporating runs in my schedule since my injury last year. But I've been maintaining my fitness over the last months since I am in UK- With lots of inevitable daily cycling as well as weekly swims...
