National Vertical Marathon 2008 (Republic Plaza)

The thing which makes this year's event better than the last is the new “A” maze side event.

SP Open House & Spinnovex 2008 Day 3

Today is the last day of the SP Open house Spinnovex 2008 final year project showcase. The day started off as a lazy but otherwise smooth morning prior the opening of the event.

Singapore, the Happiest Country in Asia

Well, apparently besides the happy Tibetans and villagers in Africa, Singapore is rated the happiest country in Asia! With strict rules, fines and regulations in place, strangely it's so! Or are we all simply just brainwashed to say so when asked? Even if not, well I guess we will definitely be even more happier if housing, cars and...

Laughingly, advertlets domain is down

Sorry for the unexpected redirection to a parked domain at some point of the day today. Laughingly, one of my site advertising agents, Advertlets.com has expired on 04-Jan-2008 and all site's showing their ads will be forced redirected to a parked domain page which amusingly some body took and parked. Lol. How can a company run a...

Maju IPPT on the 2nd day of 2008

Cleared my 2007 IPPT window period today. Glad I didn't get that pass with incentive like what I've got my previous year. Not that I've actually taken IPPT at other camps or even the Safra gyms, but I come to appreciate the route at Maju as well. I always like doing my IPPT in there, the running...

Inaugural Lion City Marathon 2008

Here we have it, the 2nd official international marathon in Singapore for the 2008 season. Part of the Uniquely Singapore experience starting from the city to the west north up to Mandai.
