School Reopens, “work” to “campus” mode again

Well school had re-opened and I am my 5th Semester having cleared my Internship the last 2 months and graduating in about less than a year's time. Things are starting to get up on pace, namely new thick sets of lecture notes and considerably more visits to the library for books again. This is technically my last academic...

(They also have a new branch in Toa Payoh now). The Kopitiam from outside The store & queue lines The Dinner crowds Located in...

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

There is this nice eating place I've visited last Friday for dinner going by the name of 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...

In a flash 7 weeks of internship had passed with hardly 2 weeks remaining, where the next school semester will be starting immediately thereafter (on the 16th this month to be precise). Things going on presently in school are regular in-campus training, the freshman CCA signups and the following orientation week, which I would not be able...

Mizuno Mount Faber Run 2007

An up and coming event. If you love hill work this event is for you! The highlight of the race is a mid way climb up the hill itself and down all the way thereafter. Registered today (Bib No 1577) and for $10 it's a steal considering you get goodies and a dry-fit Mizuno Tee to go...

Anyway with the given spade of Internship and the rather early morning wake up calls for work, I am actually waking up automatically early in the morning these days! Whoa! no more rise and...

IPPT Cannot F**king Jump SBJ for Nuts

Remember my last Tuesday's IPPT which was void due to rain? After a hassle and rush to clear my window before my birthday, today is rematch day and my 2nd IPPT in 3 days. Reached Maju Camp with an overcast sky and strong winds, even the sound of distant thunder prompted cheers among the RPs (who are seemingly...

Electronic IPPT scoring system walkthrough

Had my first Electronic IPPT today. Amazingly for a whole group of 50-100 candidates, only 3-4 PTIs are needed to take them all, with one watching each station at every go. This is so unlike the IPPTs I've conducted before during my active days. The thing now is that you need not take the stations in sequence...

My First NS IPPT, then CAT1…

Today is my first in-camp NS IPPT and my first with electronic IPPT scoring as well. But the system is quote idiot proof for anyone but noticeably there are quite a few areas of possible exploitation of the system, not something that I would do while not under the watchful eye of the PTI, but something noticeable...

Semester Four Results Out

Today is results release date & similarly, didn't really feel the heat unlike my peers since yesterday. My stand is that even if you check now or next week, your results won't change, so why the rush? Came back from work around 7pm & did a short 15km run on a new refreshing running route. The Tanglin...

IPPT go or no go?

Got a call from my NS bunkmate Daryl yesterday asking whether I was posted to a unit. Apparently most of us commanders even our troopers had calls on their postings over the pass weeks, except for a few including me. With my IPPT window closing soon comes the big question - must I take IPPT when I...

The Ticking Applied Movers Trading Timebomb

An update on the car accident, apparently the driver responsible for the accident had completely disappeared from contact, so Dad had been frantically running up and down to settle claims direct with the company (Applied Movers & Trading PL) where the driver works.
