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...

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.

4th (4G) Generation iPhone to be annouced on June 22nd 2010

And so as told by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Soon after the news broke, we were informed that the next-generation iPhone would be announced on June 22nd (a Tuesday, naturally) and would be dubbed the iPhone HD (a name that has been tossed around before). That certainly makes sense given that Apple almost certainly has to...

And so I was at La Tasca Cambridge, for my 26th Birthday celebrations. It's a treat and get together for everyone for a table of 9 collegemates.

PhotoStitch paranoma galleries updated!

After spending the last 2 days sloughing through hundreds of photographs (even to the extent of Photoshop glitching when putting together several 12 Megapixel images to form an image over 32000 pixels in width), it is finally done! The photo stitch gallery had received a significant update with all the panoramas I've captured over the last few...

London: British Museum & 39 Steps!

Ah yes, so much for mentioning the British Museum & 39 Steps in the post title, actually the whole reason for me to be in London last Saturday was an invitation to a lunch seminar at Royal Garden Hotel organized by PS(D) for SAFOS, SMS, DMS and DSTA Scholars studying in UK. It was a rather small...
