Friday’s Training, Club-Tee

Training ended today with hopes of our new long distance coach coming in next week. He is a current SP lecturer in the school of MM, heard that he was quite good in athletics & events during his time. But I've never heard of or even seen him in person thought being in the same school as...

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...

New game titles

Interesting how informative can a short browse at a local magazine stand can be while waiting for somebody, even when all their covers are wrapped up. From the covers, here are some rather interesting news: From Top Gear magzaine - New BMW M3 Coming out From Import Tuner - New Nissan Skyline GTR Out in Japan From...

Rock Climbing – SHOING!

➡ Wahha, today is the first day of our sports elective rock climbing program. Scaled the 3-4 storey flat rock wall as part of an introduction with a bit of sweat. But while doing the forward inclined rock wall... wah cannot sia, can't even go up halfway. It's my first time scaling a proper rock wall too...

Blood Donation Drive @ SP

🙁 Its another long 8am - 6pm day today at school today. Started with my dragging my feet into the lecture hall for a full morning of lectures, what else can I do but even think of donating blood at the end of the day? Held at the SP staff center, it was my 2nd time donating...

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...

Dinner at Ban Seng

Was a Plaza Singapura to close a deal with a client on a school social networking site, headed to the Simlim area thereafter for lunch with my colleague Andy before dropping by Simlim square to shop for a speed ball & bluetooth module for my laptop. Andy wanted a CRT monitor for his friend who got a...

Computer Arrived! Day Driver

Got a call from 8 flags Computers around 5.30pm on thursday afternoon which I missed (was in the gym during that time after school). Recapping, dad loaned me the car for today just in case I needed to drive to the store to collect it (so as after he found out the "interesting-ness" of bus commuting...

Knowing the class better

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...

Weaving your Band-Aids not only keep them on for longer periods of time, but keeps your wounds clean & hygienic as well. & who else will think of such interesting - oh - I - never - thought - of - that improvements our japanese friends can think of! :mrgreen: Its a very neat way to apply...

Saturday's dinner was a Holiday Park Inn, where Mum treated for one of her clients in thanks for them their family purchased more than 3 units of land from her land banking job. What's more, we are there too to join them as part of a dinner gathering as well. Mum does Land Banking as a side job...

Track Freshmen Meet

And there we have it the first week of school, all done with the CCA booths, scholarships applications & such. The scholarships are very hot this semester, with long queues & crowds for application submission in the SAA. Wish I can get it, (as I didn't last year). Hope my results can at least bring me somewhere...

School opens, New class

School started off rather smoothly, you definately can't miss the freshies around the campus, walking around with either a yanyard stuck round their necks all day, bulky new laptop bags (which you can even smell the new polyester bag smell meters away) or just spotting the very plain gong look™. Personally its time where people learn not...

Well, school reopens tomorrow, Monday. You can just sense overall change in aura lately, like rushing to get last minute chores done & such, not to mention the sudden offset of school dismay & bitching you can get off your friends & classmate's personal messages in MSN. It's gonna be the end of semester for those in...

Not CoreDuo after all

With CoreDuo laptops slowly making it's way into the market, apparently some tech-savy consumers like me is fad up in waiting for such new computers to hit mainstream, whether its a new laptop for my sis or a new tablet for me. It just takes too long for any new processor release to come out, especially when you...
