Radio Talk, Rod Monteiro’s ‘Good Service’ segment in Radio 91.3FM

I remembered going out for run few month ago always listening to my "favourite" radio station Class 95FM, well so as it was. I don't know why it's labelled 'Singapore's favourite English radio station' but I just always felt that something was missing in the shows they have. Then it finally struck me "why am I always...

Lose some, Win some, NAPFA Gold

There was like 3 written tests this week for me, namely Communication skills for entrepreneurs (CSE) final test which I personally won't be able to hit good 90+ marks for misreading the last question of the test. Mechanics III test was screwy too with some mistake(s) easily setting me to 70% total score, which contributes to 4%...

SP Rotaract Installation 2007 at SPGG

The SP Rotaract Installation 2007 was on last 20th July 2007, but didn't had the time to do an update until today where I actually have "some time" after few exam papers. Held at the Singapore Polytechnic Graduate's Guild Clubhouse Ballroom, I saw myself being the event camera man after Peili, the new Rotaract Club president elect invited...

Gaming Workstation MIA, exams sighted, training behind

My primary workstation is down again, actually since early last week due to some operating system corruption, but didn't have the time to dismount the backup drives and put in another install of Windows XP yet, being neck deep in projects and papers. But at least I would be away from my current game - Need for...

Seoul Garden Class Lunch

Well usually I don't blog about small little lunch events, but considering that this is the first time my class of DME FT/3A/10 is getting together for an official class outing, why not? With the semester class outing subsidy per student set at $7.50 per person now, what more to chow but at Taka Seoul garden at an...

Don’t be Kiasu on scholarships

Had a chat today with SAA student development officer, Mr Lee Ee Tat with regards to an invitation the SAA sent to selected students for a PSC bonded scholarship. 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...

Got an unexpected letter from Ngee Ann Kongsi last Saturday, I never knew that they would contact me again after I personally felt that I didn't do very well in the interview with them last week. Never do I know, upon opening up the letter, it reads: Your application for the Ngee Ann Kongsi Scholarship has been considered...

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?...

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...
