Runner’s Trots (loose stools or diarrhea after a long run)

With alot more people being ore active these days and considering that most Asians, particularly Singaporeans have a high percentage of people with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome), this bowel related problem might be of particular interest. Ever went for a long run only to find lots of flatulence thereafter? Or worse, a strong urge to visit the toilet...

Gadget talk, jumping on Quad Core

Upgrade update: It looks like the whole of Simlim is sold out and do not have the graphics card Geforce 8800GT 512MB I am intending to get for my system. This card is extremely value for money and is the next best after the 8800GTX and Ultra. Stocks are in high very demand and will only arrive...

Best way to evade credit card cold calls, Collected Swissotel VM goodie bag

Got quite a few calls from few reputable banks over the last week asking to apply for their credit and platinum credit cards. Do not know where do they get my contacts from. But I always have the heck of getting such calls and most people would usually simply slam down on them. For me, knowing that...

Project postings are out! Got the Plaza Tentage position!

Got the result of the Spinnovex 2008 posting today. My team is heading for a confirmed spot in the Grand Plaza Tentage! Yea! *jumps round room for a while* And so are 5 other teams in our CIE group as well. That is the best honor we can get as a project group and it's a big...

Happy Halloween, Woot FYP vetting cleared!

It's Halloween time again and look! no one's celebrating it over here in Singapore! Go around in a costume trick or treatin' and you will end up getting tricked most of the time or maybe being labeled as "siao", a crazy door-to-door salesman or people won't open the door for you. Don't you just love being like...

New Balance Realrun (NBRR) 2007 Runner’s Post-race Comments

The New Balance real run 2007 had just ended and this puts one more race this year being held in the East (and so to the dismay of my people living in the west but to the joy for those in the east). It's so given the usual centralised Realrun event venue (gateway carpark in Sentosa) being...

New Balance Realrun Pre-race

With IVP over, it all looks straight for the New balance realrun tomorrow morning. There will be full road closure from Tanah Merah Coast Road to Airport Logistic Park from 7am - 10am. Despite it's remote location, at least the organizer offered paid bus services and free shuttle buses from Pasir-Ris for those not commuting by private...

Our lecturers will gather all the year ones for a talk and...

IVP Day 2 At Gombak Stadium, FYP On track

Today is the IVP day 2 held at Gombak stadium, the highlight event today would have to be the 10,000m run. Darius and Alvin was in representing SP and Darius came in 4th overall and Alvin11th. I remembered my race in 2005 and it was not easy especially running in the overglare of the setting evening sun....

Reanimating Project Work

The last 2 project weeks saw disappointment being unable to submit our fabrication and parts order due to red tape in our school system and financial department to raise project budget. Hope things goes better this week. Monday saw the first time we managed to get the actual simulator system running with few parts borrowed all round...

Dinner with the Puah Family

Got an unexpected call from Cousin Gordon last Sunday telling me about expanding his home internet network for two PCs from one, only that he does not know how to go about doing it. He is currently on Singnet broadband and recently renewed his contract, to his dismay he did not even receive any offers or freebies...

IVP Day 1 over, Jobscentral Jobs Fair, N95 Updates

Today is the first IVP day but could not make it to Gombak due to a tight agenda on my side, but the weather was very good for a track and field event today. Was around the Suntec area instead to attend an exhibition there and also on top of looking for a 3 multiscreen monitor mount...

Solved my Polar S1 Footpod problem

First off, sorry for not updating for about a week. It had been a very very busy week with projects and doing 8-5 in the school project center. That took quite alot of time away from blogging, or just say I've not actually got into the regular habit or doing it with this new timetable, despite being...

Just Bin It

Was at Vivocity last Saturday while my parents are round there to do some regular grocery shopping in the area. Interesting in the fresh produce section, they have these signboards in front of every dustbin saying you can throw away anything which you find bad, rotten or not to standard. Won't be surprised if we see people...

Polar S1 footpod calibration blues and problem

Brought out my RS400sd for a calibration run last Wednesday and it came out rather interesting distances, infact rather different from the distances I measured from google earth. Before my footpod days, I used to use google earth and pacing to gauge distances. However the thing with satellite images is that they are all flattened images, so...

Got my new Polar RS400sd!

Popped by Peninsula Plaza this evening to purchase my new Polar RS400sd, which I managed to get a "damned-good" lobang from a friend. Ahha! my first polar watch and a suitable successor to my Oakley O-matter sports watch. The functions and menus need some time to get accustomised to, but once using it for about 30mins, navigating...

Funan vs Simlim, Nokia Singapore know nuts about their upcoming phones

The day was quite busy today, it started off in school with lots of planning and tying down of the final design, in which we will send out for external fabrication. Being a Wednesday, the day ended early at 3pm following a planned Track and Field meeting to attend for oh-my-gosh 10mins only before having to rush...
