Student to Unemployed: the Transition from Sandbox to Reality

Housekeeping Let’s get some housekeeping done before delving into the main content of this entry. Needless to say, the first thing you would have noticed is the radical departure from my previous blog design. This will be the 3rd time I’d changed the visual appearance of my blog (the 1st 2 themes employed were “Quentin” [...]

2 books, a calculator, a whole score of music, bundle of batteries & charger, some Greek gods & the iPad

UPDATE: this-just-in – Microsoft has finally unveiled their latest revision of the Windows Mobile platform. The name has been revised to “Windows Phone 7” to encourage the masses to throw all their perception of the Windows Mobile platform out of the “Windows” (pun intended), i.e. like how they are trying now to make everyone forget [...]

How I spent my year-end holiday part 6 of 6: My current academic situation

“It was said that the inability to reciprocate the efforts of your investors, has a profound effect on one’s conscience…” Results for last semester has been lacklustre (to put it nicely), as usual. Sometimes, I wonder if my sporadic periods of hard work will ever surface in front of people that have an influence on [...]

I’m sorry I couldn’t think of a more apt title. You know your life sucks when almost daily, your posts can be “filed” under the “Roadblocks” section.

Which areas of NUS, may I know, are performing rather well? Sophomore thinks… Sophomore: Well, I will say the Western food stall [...]

RFRoute: Jurong East Ave 1 to Kent Ridge Crescent

Hereby declaring an open request for a safe(read: more pavement than road) route from Jurong East Ave 1 to NUS. Just in case I get my bicycle in the end…

SoC students versus Biz students

So, I was chilling at the Biz canteen the other day, & I realized the foolproof way to differentiate a NUS SoC student from a NUS BizAd student: NUS BizAd students are happy, smiling all day long; while SoC students, well, we typically always look as if a server has just crashed somewhere… Dun believe?
