Rock Climbing Theory

"Am I on belay?" "Belay on" "Climbing" "Climb on" These are the words ecthed into the heads of any climber during the rock climbing sports elective now. A very basic phase I believe, but we won't be doing any belaying so soon either as theres actually a belayer course & certification to qualify for one, too far fetched for our 2...

BulletProof HP StorageWorks XP12000

HP has a tendency to use gun metaphors when talking about their storage solutions, and the newest one is 'bulletproof'. Instead of the wussy technical term for it, they went out and shot a hole clean through a half-million dollar Storageworks XP12000 server while it was running. The bullet went right through it, but only half way through the...

I was late, & yea Big Walk 2006

Today's track training ended at 8:45pm, very much a dismay to mum & dad who came at 7:45 at school with Sheena to fetch me to dinner. Intially my parents intended to go to the nearby hawker center opposite Ginza Plaze for dinner, a place I can only vaguely remember from my childhood kindergarden days at Clementi...

Dinner at Annalakshmi

Eat for free? these are the words which came through my mind after dining at Annalakshmi this evening. Whats more, this is the place where mum always wanted to dine at for the last month (which in turn resulted in 3-4 unsuccessful Hillstreet visits over the weeks). Uniquely, this is unlike any other restaurant. Firstly as...

It more than one week in class, & finally with updated news, our Mechanics Lecturer is actually our class tutor! Mr Goh Kim Seng is a contemporary stylish lecturer, who is well, not very much well-known in the looks department. But he sure is a good teacher and behaves really professionally as an educator, very unlike the...
