Juggling work, play and Training, KL Marathon

Work had definitely eaten not only my personal time but much of my usual run and training schedules - I had not been running regularly, (clocking awfully low week millage in the process) nor attending track training in school last few weeks. Furthermore, if it's not hitting my personal weekly distance requirement of 30km, it's beating...

First Week of Internshp (ITP)

Hello I am Shaun, just like Assok the intern in the comic Dilbert, I am the lowest possible life form in the corporate ladder - having the profound ability to "not know anything" and the "noob-rights" to hang around like a complete idiot. ITP this holidays is a unique one, being only 9 weeks short, not many...

Is owning a car beneficial in Singapore? 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer

And yes, on Cars. Dad came around one day with mum asking about plans for our next new family car. Despite all his talk on Renaults previously, he was considering the 2006-2007 1.6L Mitsubishi Lancer which is going for a dirt cheap $43,000 with COE at C&C, which is close to half of how much we paid...

Its holiday! But only for this week…

Despite the sun coming out quite nicely these days, the whether and ambient temperature is still holding out nice and cool in my area.

One of my favorite lunch spots in the Ang Mo Kio area will be the Lor Mee and Laksa store at Chong Boon Market along Avenue 10 . This hawker store had old beginnings being in the business for over a decade, or at least since I first tried their dishes in the late nineties. Their trademark...

Windows Vista – Slow! Bill Gates: No No No!

With all the hype and publicity on Windows Vista going on in Singapore, I guess I can only commend on the efforts MS Singapore is putting into promoting the OS. However in that limelight, definitely the main selling point and MS broke in sales will tell you that it's "safer", "more secure", "looks fabulous" and has "excellent...
