3rd Week of Semester, Bus-fying

I was late and had to make a choice between 2 bus services arriving together at the stop today (service 14 and 147, both superbuses which I can take to campus). Though 14 has a shorter traveling time, the 8am peak traffic at the AYE always slows things down considerably. The service 147 thou, spots the newer...

Generally I only see myself donating blood about once every year, otherwise I won't be able to do so when training picks up, if not my coach will really drain my blood if I declare "rest" from blood donation. For yea peeps in campus who can't make it down to HSA, or don't seem to get much...

Completed Comand & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars

Completed the C&C 3 NOD Campaign on Sunday and the Scrin Campaign today, as usual all under Hard Difficulty. The last 2 NOD missions are commendably more challenging though, brings back the challenge of the old days a whee-bit - only if I pretend not to know that I beat it largely not due to tactics, but...

The Sun Detests Me, Cutting down on Runs

Came back from an afternoon swim straight after school on Friday. Loved it, the pool is so empty I even can have 2 dedicated lanes on the Olympic pool for myself. I will be pushing my weekly Sunday swims to mostly Fridays now (missing Friday track & field in the process), as we swimmers do not have...

Picking up the Campus Pace, FYP

School It's April and into the 2nd week of the semester. My new class is now DME FT/3A/10, which is a merged CIE class (my previously class went to 5 people end of last semester), so we have 20 odd people now, particularly the other class from the other DME CIE class. For the standard DME & DARE...

SP Vista Bad Posters! haha

Besides those freaky monster recycling bins the Environment Club had sprouting all around campus, noticeably are some posters stuck around the grounds as well, particularly going against a certain operating system which calls itself similarly like 2 hinged apparatus which you can open and close for ventilation in your home. Take that ownage! Oh yea, on that as...

This the first time the title sponsor, Mizuno is organizing such a run under the "Mizuno Run" name, contrary to those other low key Mount Faber races held over the past years, this is actually nothing new as claimed by many runners I know, well at least now I know!

Screwy SBS Bus Bell

This is so funny I simply just have to post it here. Phone recorded this on my bus trip to campus today with the funny stuffs around 5-6 secs of the 13 sec clip. Simply can't stop chuckling each time I hear it, let be the all the commuters on that crowded bus who have to put...

My Internship, as a chapter closes

And there we have it, 9 weeks of internship gone in a flash and school's reopening next week. Time do flies and it's not exactly "tiring" or "difficult", but strangely neither as the saying goes: "Time passes when you are having fun". Lets face the facts, work is not always enjoyable, that's why people get paid to...

Lunch at Miss Clarity Cafe

And there it goes again: can you believe it? hardly 2 days and I am back at Miss Clarity's Cafe again for a meal! (along Purvis street, just opposite The National library). This time being lunch. On a hindside, lunch is a comparatively different experience to dinner, mostly in terms of the environmental ambiance, but no difference...

My Nod-dified phone, Tanglin Running route

After going through about half of the GDI campaign, C&C 3 is nice to play with a very low learning curve in reference to the old C&C Tiberium related wars series. The SAGE engine is really kinda cool with lots of new eye candies. SAGE is not new to those especially when it first appeared in Emperor...

Dinner at Miss Clarity Cafe

Popular among youngsters and the general youth crowd, it's located along Purvis street, just opposite The National library and Bugis Junction. It may be a cafe for it's size by it's menu is one not to recon...

Command & Conquer: Tiberium Wars (C&C 3) Kane Edition Box Contents

It's time again to marvel at the old command and conquer series which got me up in the good old days since C&C win 95, Tiberian Dawn, Tiberian Sun, Firestorm and now, C&C 3 Tiberium Wars. Come to think about it, I've never missed a single episode of the C&C line, even including the Red alert and...
