I find myself enjoying the Beautiful Game more when there are some stakes involved, even though it’s a puny £1 I put in every few weeks or so when I have the time to catch the matches. Le Blues, Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge is about 10 minutes walk from my place, while Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium is ...
I'm headed out to ski this weekend for a whole week in Flaine, which is an amazing ski resort in the eastern Alps. Looking forward to it after over a year of absence on the slopes cos I chose to study over Christmas. After that I'm headed out to Greece, visiting the famed islets of Mykonos and Santorini, and hitting Athens, Olympia, Delphi and maybe Meteroa. After the Greece …

This was what the Prof told me when he emailed me to schedule an appointment to "talk about stuff tomorrow" at 4 in the afternoon.It’s not like I don’t know what it is about, just that it is a confrontation I have rather been dreading. I suspect he instigated the PhD students "inspire" me to ...
I was just hopping around the major news sites when one of them had an interesting article that seemed interesting.Apaprantly one of the editors at NewsWeek got a review unit of the Macbook Air, and lost it.As humiliating as it sounds, let me repeat: the MacBook Air is so thin that it got tossed out ...
Google’s motif is probably one of the most recognised in the world now. It was recently named the most valuable brand, and ‘google’ has become a verb.But not many people know the current logo was not the first incarnation of the logo. Here wired has an article on the evolution of the logo of Google.
As with democracies, nothing is final until the last vote is counted. No matter what pollsters think. No matter what the Gahmen says. No matter what you hear on the streets.But word on the streets (AFP, Reuters, Bloomberg) have put the ruling coalition just hanging on for dear life. Attempts to reclaim the opposition state ...
Today the projects drew to a close, and it’s going to be a week of sleepless nights writing up. I’m gonna be panda-fied.
It’s the time to bitch about the bloody project again. Not sure to cry or laugh, the reaction didn’t work, again. We had high hopes for this reaction, and I spend the whole of the last week working it up and making all the precursors to reaction grade purity. I have never been so meticulous ...
It’s a really simple question. What are you really afraid of?
I haven’t been writing much recently, as the SYOG campaign has really keep me busy for most of my free time. Coupled with the fact that I typically spend my daylight hours in the laboratory, I’m pretty much slunk into my sofa/chair/bed when I get home for a good warm cuddle and some good shows.Where ...
We won it.People who know I’m the lead campaigner for the SYOG2010 unofficial campaign at http://www.sgyoutholympics.com, sorry the site is down due to a traffic overload.But we won.
Kosovo declared independence on Sunday and looks forward to become the world’s youngest nation.I was in Kosovo last year, in the capital Pristina which was under United Nations jurisdiction (United Nationa Mission in Kosovo - UNMIK). It’s a land torn part by ethnic strife, distrust and war. You will probably never understand, until you see ...
I actually never wanted to blog this, but the recent recent MM Lee’s remarks to UPI and his talk about ‘talent’, I felt I had to weigh in my opinion as a ‘talent’. By definition, I’m a ‘talent’. Let’s not create another Wee incident over anything here, but just take it. Obviously to save everyone ...
An aspiring actress, writer, model and according to herself, camwhore. One of the more entertaining, non-self-indulging (read: none-Xiaxue type) pieces on the internet which actually would interest me on a boring, gloomy London Monday afternoon.She has posted up a recent clip of herself in Mara’s Playground, which is interesting and thought-provoking. Did I …
Join me in Protesting for the Rights of Boyfriends during Valentine's Day. This is how, and why.
As mentioned earlier, when you are stuck in London over the festivities, you will learn to manage. What we did this year was The Great Seafood Cookout, where girlfriends, boyfriends, good friends and everyone was invited to the dinner which costs the 3 of us about £120.Seafood filled, beer filled, fun filled extravaganza. Preparation took ...
Well it’s that time of the year again! Chinese New Year! Traditionally time for me to do some gambling! We are kinda sad sods over here, with a pretty small community to play around with. No, we don’t gamble big time like we do at places like onlinecasinobluebook.com, but we play small sums for fun ...
In an unsurprising development, Justice Woo Bih Li of the High Court has ruled against Odex in this long running feud with local anime lovers. However in his verbal judgement, he also ruled that the copyright right holders will be allowed access instead, piping a victory for the Odex led lawsuit.
