Did another short 15km run yesterday evening with my old Asics DS trainers. This time it actually felt easier to run with the lighter shoes- the Mizuno is too packed with so much technology inside it simply just too heavy for running (>more than 300g). True the Mizuno have much better cushioning than my almost- disfunct DS...
(Show more to view video) Some fancy image manipulation and retrieval program, this is technology which revolves with more people using it. I guess the idea of taking flickr sets to reconstruct 3d architecture is simply amazing! I think the demo is running off a standard conventional laptop, so we might be able to all more optimized...
Well, got some time now to blog about some flashbacks early this week, particularly getting my 'ol computer speakers repaired.
And yup, got my 6 year old Altec Lansing 4.1 speakers repaired at Ban Leong Service Center in Ubi. It's wired connector was damaged due to wear and age, otherwise everything else is ok. Actually I almost...
Ah yes, the thing going on in the minds most of 3rd year students in SP have to be the Final Year Projects, aka FYP. While most had already started theirs since last semester, mine will officially start the next being a full-time 1 semester dedicated to FYP itself. Had been doing some team planning, administration and...
The holidays had been on for about 2 weeks already and come to think about it I had not blogged anything under the sun yada yada yada lately, so why not?
Health and Fitness
Noticeably, with the exception of the recent Sheares bridge run, you may know that I had not been running regularly these days. Not to mention...
The Ulu Pandan/Sunset Lane Canal jogging route is part of the series I will be sharing as part of my favorite running route in the central and southern Singapore.
Ulu Pandan/Sunset Lane Canal
As ulu as the name may sound (no pun intended) this running route is part of the park connector line of tracks which are planned to...
You may notice that I am running a new ad campaign from Advertlets.com. Here are some highlights on what this rather interesting blog advertising network offers.
Advertlets.com is an Asian blog/weblog advertising network that offers the remarkably sensible proposition of targeted, unintrusive advertising on user's blogs and website that benefits the online advertising need of clients as well...
Alexandra/Tanglin Park Connector
One of my favorite central urban running routes to date, this route brings you through the breathtaking and calming estates of Alexandra and Prince Charles road alongside a canal in a straight forward closed (and no-brainer) route. The track was opened by Mr Lee Kuan Yew around 2006 and is often frequented by the residents...
Tiong Bahru Park Running Route
Tiong Bahru Park had been around for a long time even with it's previous face-lift and the introduction of Gan Eng Seng Secondary next door, taking a large chunk of it's old land area and introducing a dedicated soccer field. The place started off as left over land from a sewage plant only...

Ltd. announced the launch of one of the Company’s most innovative products to date, the W100 Wrist Watch phone.

This event has already attracted close to 7,000...
Done with the main report, here is the more personal report: Looking back on the half-marathon today my target timing was a sub 2hour which I barely hit which a gun time of about 2hours 8mins so the nett time will be below 1hour 55mins. The run felt strange today namely hitting a fatigue wall prematurely...
Looking into the limelight of the events happening recently with regards to SBS transit bus drivers, don't you think SBS transit is acting too harsh on bus captains now?
Taking the incident this year of the Indian elderly lady who fell from a bus which simply drove off, only laughingly being treated by a driver from a competitor...
Congratulation to all those who ran and completed he Sheares Bridge Run, Army Half Marathon today. The run is rather enjoyable this year despite challenges with a new venue for the organizing committee, with that I will touch on the various aspects of the race in order:

Volunteers are the backbone to the mounting success of the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon since its first inception in 2002. Without the dedication and continuous support from the community, the race would not have been the runaway success it was, and an instant hit with all the local and international runners and supporters alike.
If you are...

For this exam to date, I've done almost 23 past year papers for revision and used up more than twice as much lecture pads I get from a normal semester for all...
Run for Hope 2007 is inspired by the courageous story of Terry Fox, a Canadian teenager, who despite an amputated leg due to bone cancer, ran a 'marathon of hope' across Canada to raise funds for cancer research, so that one day a cure could be found. Terry ran an equivalent of one entire marathon a day...
