Broadband-width doubled, is Singtel Mio Good?

Got a letter few days ago that my Singnet broadband speed has been upgraded to 3Mbps from 1.5Mbps without any additional charges, maintaining the usual subscription at about $58/mth. This came very much as a welcome in sharing the bandwidth among the few ummm, 7 computers at home. It's not the first time I've got a free...

Tentative Plans for my New Quad-Core PC

One of my ram modules presumably went kaboom few days ago, as my "workstation" desktop system meter reads 510MB ram instead of 1024MB previously. so I am very much left with 50% of my available capacity with me now. As an analogy there are 2 ways to deal with a faulty car fan belt- you can choose...

Back to campus next week and I am allergic to school work

The Brooks life run and NUS Legs and Paddles was on today, didn't go for it as firstly, I didn't register for it, secondly am not quite the best of condition now (school school school) and lastly I already ran a race yesterday. It's quite packed during the week in terms of tutorials, but notably and commendably...

Post 2007 Moulmein Intra-Con Run, Farewell Coach Robin

Moulmein Intra-Con Road Run was on at MacRitchie Park today, reached the venue only to be greeted by overcast skies and a runny nose (which came with me from home). It rained during the race and interestingly, sinuses always clears when you run, just like how my smoker friends always exclaim at how puffing will cure their...

SP E-learning Done!

Well I am back from a period of relatively long absence, not much your typical case of fleeing from reality but actually getting in touch with it on the contrary. Yup with an "offfphh", gravity caught back onto me after my day off on Monday (which you can recall being the last day of my round island...

Back from round Island Trekking

Hey hey, I am back from my group round Singapore trekking expedition. Overall the trip was rather manageable with the group generally seeing ourselves traveling the bulk of the journey on foot in the day, stopping to rest at regular breakpoints. Contrary to walking in the night (which we did on day-night 1), which is relatively cooler....

Piling Homework and looming SP E-learning

It was a very busy week in campus, namely trying to get tutorials and undone work (which seem to keep on coming) finished. Now I have 5 different tutorials, all from different modules waiting to be completed. At least cleared my Industrial Automation Lab Test today, maybe can get 100 for that. E-learning week would be following...

Company Late Night Lan Gaming Session With some time I have before leaving to the national stadium this afternoon, let me just talk about some things which happened during the past week, particularly yesterday and leaving the stresses of FYP aside.

Me and my Sleep Debt

The week's been very slow lately, with 0km of runs covered, lots of work/chores piling up, a packed weekend agenda all coupled with a large sleep debt. I simply just cannot get the hang of 8am classes, which I am always late for and takes up 4/5 of my school week. But that didn't stop me from...
