A engineering interview to remember (Cambridge university engineering)

Since my unconditional undergrad offer to study engineering in Cambridge, I've never really found the time to write about my experience of the selection process and the interview I went through to be shortlisted. But heck it was really competitive, going against the top dogs in the best JCs in Singapore, not to mention scholars from around...

NDP 2009 Happy 44th birthday Singapore!

Managed to catch a web telecast of this year's national day parade 2009. This year's one is impressive in my own opinion, despite usually being a sore thumb (hehe) and a big critique to all the previous NDPs. Surprisingly, gone are the trying to hard cheesy theme songs usually evident in NDP parades for years at a...

Onboard the Singapore flyer with an experience article on the article page!

Site gallery images bug, can you see them?

There had been some minor inconsistent errors which always seems to come and go on the gallery. So far the site has been successfully tested on primary browsers, firefox 2+, internet explorer 7+, safari 3+ and google chrome.

Gearing up for the “all powerful” Alienware M17x

With my university term starting in October, it's very much shopping time to get the gears and stuffs in preparations for my departure. Shopping is good therapy, well, not until you see the bill!

Old Amercia, Canada and Mexico holiday photographs digitized!

I've always wanted to digitize my old holiday photos, but knowing that they are buried in storage under years of dust made it quite a turn off to do so, till now. I recently got this spanking new Canon all in one printer which allows for network scanning and printing over wireless-fidelity, so technically any PC can...

Team fortress 2 Motivational signs- Steamroll and teamstacking sprays

Motivational signs are always well... motivational- stuff you usually see lining cubicle walls or classrooms. On the other end of the spectrum, particularly if you use them in another unintended way, come the kind of signs we call de-motivational signs. Coupled with a sense of humor these signs can get rather hilarious, especially when you try to...

Site officially upgraded, now time for the eye candies!

Well the site had been fully upgraded with all the basic necessities up. The tough part is of course converting all the current articles and tutorials into wordpress itself. What's more the site is xhtml validated now, so that will put some standardization into the site itself. Strangely, xhtml seems to be like a milestone or sort,...

Integrate and wrapping WordPress 2.8 functions with Gallery2 (with conditional CSS)

Following the upgrade of the site, I've successfully integrated gallery2 with wordpress 2.8, able to call wordpress functions within gallery itself and maintain your wordpress sidebar. This was not previously achievable with gallery1 considering that some wordpress and gallery share some variables which needs to be redefined to avoid conflict, with this new setup I am glad...
