Recently I had the privilege of attending a talk from the University Scholars Seminar series by Mr. Kwok Kian Chow, director of the Singapore Art Museum. It was a talk on the challenges faced by the museum in obtaining rare pieces of art, portraying non-conventional pieces like seal carvings as art to the public and ...
The past few days has been filled with disaster not only for me but also my friends. Lets start with my own disaster. My computer registry got messed up and it restarted itself. Everytime it is about to go into Windows, it will go into a blue screen after which I'd have to hit the power button to switch off the laptop. I can't go into safe mode and I can't go into DOS either …
Yay! My parents came down to visit again (Hehehe thanks to the Hari Raya holidays!!) and yes, you can imagine why I'm rejoicing.

My parents fed me lots of YUMMY YUMMY food these few days!!!! *__* But now that they're back in Malaysia, argh. Back to baaad hall …

CJ sent me a link to a page which tests whether you use the right or left side of your brain more. The test works by having you look at an animation of a rotating dancer, and to see whether you see it turning clockwise or anti-clockwise. I use the left side of my brain ...
At 9:22pm on Oct 10th, the very first Malaysian astronaut, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, blasted off to the International Space Station(ISS) along with 2 companions: American astronaut Peggy Whitson and a Russian astronaut Yuri Malenchenko. Although I missed the live cast, thanks to the ever resourceful YouTube I managed to grab hold of a newscast ...
Just got back the results for a writing assignment which I spent 3 days writing. I got a B :( instead of the A I was aiming for. Upon reading the essays of my peer who got an A+, I came to realize that in my quest to write a good essay with good English and content, I forgot to demonstrate my full understanding in the application of the concepts and theories in class. …
Chen Chow gave us aka his Malaysian friends a pleasant surprise on Monday when he suddenly msged me on Gtalk saying "Su Yuen, I'm in Singapore". Instantly my attention was drawn away from my JCRC work to arranging a meetup with Chen Chow. We ended up meeting last night for dinner with..... (try to guess who came along!) The ever fun and joyous expat Munir who was sooo …
Today something very unusual happened for the first time in my life. It may not be unusual to some of you who have tried it before, but it definitely was unusual for my friend and I. Bharat and I decided to head down to NUS McDs after our group project meeting at about 7pm.As you can imagine, being a Saturday night, the McDs was crowded with pools of students and long queues. …
2 days ago, the TDM team and I organized PopOut’07: Emerging Web Startups which is the very first episode of a series of startup showcases to come! At PopOut, we got local web startups which we thought had rather interesting initiatives to strut their stuff and share their personal stories. I won’t be writing about ...
Just finished 3 mid-terms yesterday(phew!) Overall they were OK. I'm bummed up about not being able to rejoice yet as I have one more mid-term left on Friday which I predict will be the hardest one of all too. Nevertheless, its time to stop feeling bummed up and continue mugging for it to do as well as possible. On another note, there's this upcoming TDM event called PopOut …
After my 3rd mid-term exam for the day, I swiftly hopped onto my laptop to relax a bit before the next war. (Not that the exams all went well, overall they were O.K). Anyway, the moment I got online, my ever resourceful brother IMed me this news about a new scientific breakthrough: See-through frogs. Yes, ...
Remember the final battle in the movie Drumline where teams put up a fantastic orchestra of drum beats and rhythms, perform cool stick passing/tossing stunts and beat on each other’s drums with alien speed and precision? Well, believe it or not, this is the REAL thing and its even better than the movie. Presenting to ...
Sorry for not blogging for a looong time, I haven't had time to blog on both blogs lately mainly because of the upcoming TDM event, PopOut! (which I will write more about in a separate blog post) and my new undertaking as a member of the 28th JCRC!Life has been really busy especially in the JCRC coz we have meetings, after meetings, after meetings and lots of follow-up work …
For those of you who are tech-inclined, you’ve probably heard lots of talk about the need to consolidate and organize web content (videos, photos, articles, blog posts) so that its navigatable and “less messy” than it currently is. When you search for data on a certain topic, you have to separately search for articles in ...
The polling results are out and yay!! I'm now the Publications Secretary of the 28th Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC) of Kent Ridge Hall. To those of you who are not familiar with the Singapore hall system, JCRC is this parent committee of all the culture groups/sports teams/event committees etc etc in the hall.To make things simpler, let me give you a comparison.Singapore …

I have 2 response papers and one essay to write this week which further goes on to affirm the rumour that the University Scholars Program (USP) is actually a writing course where you inevitably have to do TONS of writings for every module. I believe that by the time I graduate, I’d know the rules ...
Wow, I wonder whether anyone else in NUS felt this. As I was studying, I felt as though someone was shaking my chair but upon looking back, no one was there. I then noticed that the water in my water container was creating a sort of "mini wave". Wonder whether an earthquake just happened in Indonesia again but any related news online.Feeling of me being on 5th floor in my …
