I'm really loving my University Scholars Program(USP) tutorials and lectures... much more than my mundane Math and Science tutorials where all you do is solve tutorial questions, then again how interactive can Math and Science tutorials be? You can't actually have an active class discussion where everyone's voicing their opinions and debating among each other.Also what I …
Here I am still clearing my writing assignments.... 2 response papers and 1 essay. Ugh... I'm already facing a brain drain and I haven't even gotten started on my other non-writing tutorials like Maths, Computer Design & Organization, Marketing, etc. Oh yea lets not forget the amount of revision I have to do on this week's lectures so that I don't have this face "o_O???" …
Hey guys! Just doing a quick shout out here for my friends Penny and Natascha. They've been spending their whole 3 month break working on this first-of-its-kind event called YouthVibes. Here's me doing some quick plagiarism off their website (hopefully they don't mind ^^;;)!YOUth Vibes is an unconference for youths to come together and discuss about issues in these categories …
I believe I've met the ultimate Mr.Kiasu in Singapore.It all happened a few months back when I went to a supermarket to grab a bottle of mineral water. As usual, like any other shopper, I'd just go to the row of shelves donning countless brands and grab the one with the best deal. I grabbed my bottle of water and started walking towards the counter.However, something in me …
One of my close friends was telling me earlier today about his failure to secure a promotion and how his future career is now all doomed. He was extremely depressed and seemed to be stuck in this “DOOMed for life” world he created, and wouldn’t let anyone in to get him out. I decided to ...
I was asking my friend (whom I shall spare by not naming him hehehe) about missing tutorials today and the reason behind it was oversleeping. OVERSLEEPING?!?!?!! The tutorial's at 11am for crying out loud hahaha. Even if you went to sleep at lets say 2am, if you wake up at 10am you'd have about the recommended requirement of 8 hours of sleep.Ok ok maybe I should not laugh at …
Many years ago when Lego Mindstorm was first released, my dad brought it home as a surprise for my brother and I. We quickly set it up and configured all that was needed to try our hands on what many would call “elementary robotics”. After playing it for a few months, exhausting every possible invention ...
I went for my first CS2100 lab class today and it was surprisingly fun despite my old condemnation for electronics. It was my first encounter with chips and the "digital logic tester machine" o_O... I hope I got the name right. Anyway! What we had to do in class today was build memory element circuit, putting it in practical terms, the circuit which you use to switch your …

Looks like I haven't done these posts for a while, mainly because I'm running out of time to blog on both blogs. Here's a quick update of some stuff I wrote on Bitbot as Bitbot!Second Life …
Just got back from today's InterBlock Games (IBG) Floorball carnival, it was really nerve wrecking watching everyone play, even when its not my block playing. Its like an intense battle everytime the game goes on especially when the guys are playing. People pushing, grabbing, falling and whacking each other!! Sports is where the violence within everyone is unleashed haha! …
Last week as I was having dinner my floormates popped me a question, “Su Yuen, what’s new and interesting in the technology space?”. Knowing they don’t play games and are not technological …
Today was an extremely exhausting day for me because it was Frisbee Carnival for the InterBlock Games. I belong to B block where we call ourselves the B-Bananas!! Check out this "icon" they made for me.Every senior in the block got one made for them by the Block Committee. Anyway, back to the main subject at hand, Frisbee Carnival is a term for the day where all the …
Bleah... I just got up from sleep. Yes, I woke up at 12pm+ because I slept at 3am last night. You gotta be thinking "WHAT?! That's like almost 10 hours of sleep!!". Reason I needed so much sleep was because the past 2 days have been extremely exhausting for me.The day before was spent interviewing about 30+ candidates for the ASEAN Entrepreneurs Conference which I'm involved …
So its now Week 2 of school, I've finally found some time to update this blog. Lots of things have been happening last week in hall, lots of freshie-senior activities! Seriously, living in Hall is filled with activities, you can never have no friends / have nothing to do unless you choose not to participate. There'll always be someone knocking at your door "jio"-ing(slang for …
I found this TED Talk video on Teng Foung’s blog earlier today which left me speechless! Its a demo of Bumptop, an application which revolutionizes your desktop in a way that allows you to interact with it like your REAL office desk. According to Bumptop’s creator Anand Agrawala, we’ve been putting up with such a ...
My brother sent me an article today on one of the Emerging Technologies shown at Siggraph 2007 (He really has a knack for finding cool stuff on the net). It was an article on the concept of Haptic Telexistence, where your existence and interactions in remote places are represented by a mechanical object / real-life ...

After attending half a week of lectures, I’m beginning to have reservations about some modules I’ll be studying this semester. Not because of the students, not because of the syllabus but because of the lecturers. Don’t get me wrong, the lecturers are very familiar with the materials they’ll be imparting to the students. They ...
(I'm referring to a new ACADEMIC year mind you, not the NEW YEAR new year. )Today was the first day of lectures. I'm finally all settled down and ready to go back to war! Yes, studying in NUS is like being in war. It is not because of the stress level / workload, just the sense of "war" that comes with examinations grrr. Actually, I shouldn't be complaining because in the …
