I've recieved a invitation card from them last month or so, but disregarded the public reception and seminar (held at some hotel ballroom) due to the lack of...

Problems with new Coach

With a little time I have here after dinner and back from a Statistics Module test a moment ago, let me just share about the buzz going up with our new coach Coach S Pandian. I believe this is something only the year 2 and seniors of track and field can relate to, but not very much the...

Post Mizuno Wave Run 2007 (Mizuno mud walk)

Hey I am back from the mud walk ummmm 2007 Mizuno wave run. If you've ran the event this year, I believe you will have quite a little too many comments on the organisation of the event. The morning started with a heavy downpour in the morning, which slowed gradually over time and eventually turned into a...

Transformers, Old Cartoons that deserve Movies, exams sighted

Hadn't had time to talk about transformers the movie which I caught previously on free passes (yea) funny that the movie didn't follow the old child hood memories I had on Optimus (flat front prime mover?), Megatron (walter giant cannon?) and Bubblebee (VW bettle) or just because of their scanner's they can turn into anything they want?...

With radioactivity come superpowers

About 4 x-rays and 1 CT scan over the last 6 months, mainly from injuries, think I am glowing green with radioactivity already. The coolest one will definately be the Siemens Somatom Definition Scanner, its just like star gate the movie revisited. Would be catching a late night transformers movie later. Got 4 free passes for a 9.50pm...

Screwed Up Ngee Ann Scholarship Interview

It's the Teochew building anyway. At the interview panel, I was posed with a first question in Chinese which I understood, but had a hard time answering considering that I am not too proficient in the language. Whats more they are like speaking with a strong ascent which I could not fully comprehend. So I asked myself...

Post 2007 Poly 50

And here we are the Poly 50 for 2007 had ended. The race is rather spaced out this year, despite having alos about 90 teams taking part.

1st Run with Mizuno Wave Creation 8, inital review & impressions

I had not ran in more than 2 weeks, a relatively long "cooldown" period after recovery from my fever 2 weeks ago. Especially with many cases of runners suddenly collapsing when running under the influence of a flu, cough or even the lack of sleep, who knows what will happen. Take no chances and be a responsible...

New 8GB N95i Rumored

It seems that Nokia is not quite contented with the N95 crown jewel dominating the limelight at the moment (and trashing the iphone too). As we all know, Nokia always upgrades current handsets by making them black and installing firmware and hardware upgrades besides slapping a distictive 'i' a the end of every such model. The N95i...
