An un-conditional offer from Cambridge University!

There was something rather interesting in the mail today. A nice thick white plain envelope addressed from the University of Cambridge identified via a faint stamp on the corner, nothing fancy, but an avenue of anxiety- The time is right at it is this period of the year where admission results are announced, this will definitely be...

The New Year Hello 2009! What are your resolutions for 2009?

Well, it's time of the year again where we just look back on the year and reflect what we've done in turn for the light of the new year. 2008 saw many firsts, the first US black president.

Set your 2009 running resolutions on Nike+

With 2009 drawing to a near, one cannot help but reflect on the year's achievements and set targets on for the next. There is no surprise too that "keeping fit" or "losing weight" are one of the top 3 resolutions anyone can make, with almost everybody looking for a fitter and leaner lifestyle for the coming year....

2 days to the 2008 Singapore Marathon! Marathon tips galore

Offer by University College London

Got an email from UCL (University College London) telling me that I've been awarded an unconditional offer to do my BA and Masters of Engineering next year. Strangely with my application last September, I didn't expect an offer to come too soon, as I thought it will only be announced next year around January. They were however,...

Taking a Break

Just as how carefree the kacang puteh man sold me snacks at the Catay previously, makes me wonder that sometimes, the best things in life are the simple little things- Simple little things which we often go unnoticed in our endless wants. And it's not just the snack mind you, it's like a catalyst to a familiar realisation...

Nike Lunarlite Flywire Racer+ Review – Verdict

After more runs with my "marathon capable" Nike Lunar racer, here is the 2nd installment to my review of this fantastic pair of running shoes. I can't deny that my following runs after my first with this pair were quite abrasively painful, particularly given my gait change to this new shoe, so I needed a longer...

I’ve got a new pair of Nike Lunar racers and promised to write a review of it. So here goes, the first part with my first impressions. The first thing you can do is to pick up this pair of shoes and wonder what the? It weighs too light to feel real, it feels even lighter when worn....

Ending the Formula 1 2008 season

When Felipe Massa crossed the finishing line last Sunday, he was the 2008 world champion for a moment, till Lewis came and took it from him 38.9 seconds later. For the Brazilian, it was a picture perfect finish, maintaining pole from start to finish, it was something Massa could do given the support from his fellow countryman...

My university interview today! It went well!

I remembered arriving at RJC in the afternoon for my Cambridge interview, wanting to get there early with time to relax, I took a bus and alighted somewhere around upper Thomson where I took a very short cab trip to RJC itself. The cab driver actually told me that the venue is a short walk away, but...

Recap of the Singapore Cambridge TSA, more nerve wracking to come

Just came back from the Thinking skills assessment test at Hwa Chong JC. Just as anticipative as I was to receive the news of the test and the interview about 2 weeks ago, I can't help but realize that the days do come by very fast and in no time, I am actually done with my TSA...

New Balance Real Run 2008 Runners Post-race Comments

As the hot scorching sun dawns upon all runners in the early morning of Sunday, it simply just paints deja-vu of the race last year at the Changi Exhibition center. Was that a Mirage? I can say that is is almost like an exact duplicate of last year's race, which I gave a rating of 8.5/10 for...

SP makeover, Food court 3 now air-conditioned, Track training now

Got a new ASUS WL-600G all-in-one network gateway

Got a new ASUS WL-600Gg wireless gateway DSL router today at Sim Lim to replace my old 2wire 1800HG which went "kaput yesterday" after a good old 4-5 years I say. Looking around, I am surprised at how low the prices of networking equipment now. Back before 2000 I remembered paying a premium for home networking equipment....
