me: 你们有用CAD的吗? gw: 用猫... (me: do you use CAD? gw: use cat) Met up with some university and secondary school friends for dinner. Some of them I knew them since Secondary 1. It is always goo …

Ok it will sound a little stupid and exaggerated if I say I was involved in an escalator accident. I wasn't wearing Crocs by the way. I was on a down-riding escalator with The Old Ones. Being the *ahem*caring*ahem* son that I am, I turned around to look out for them. Just as I was travelling down I felt a sharp pain on my leg and saw the step above mine was pressing onto my …

I was on a crowded MRT train when I saw these 2 kids. The reserved seat was empty and the younger sister sat down. She shifted towards the glass panel to let her elder brother squeeze into the same seat, but guess what, the elder brother said "I don't want to sit next to him.", quite loudly. The "him" alighted some stations later, and the kids' father took up the seat. The …

不知怎的咳了一個禮拜, 日咳夜也咳, 一開口想講話就咳個不停, 簡直是講不出聲. 去診所看醫生, 給了我一大包抗生素和催眠藥... 行我這行靠口吃飯的, 影響好大.

While I am very much employed, I think it doesn't harm to know more about how the job market is like. I chanced upon the Job Vacancies, 2009 by the Ministry of Manpower's Manpower Research and Statistics Department and find it quite informative, especially for job seekers out there. It shows the job market trend, which sectors are hiring, which positions are unfilled, what …

I think during the festive season I overworked one of my household appliances (not gonna name it here) a little, and it refused to work last week. Me being the hands-on engineering type, I unscrewed and opened it up. With multimeter in hand I did some troubleshooting. After some 10 minutes of probing, I located the problem. Faulty part. Had the component been easily available …
