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 ...
My parents bought me this examination pad because they knew I'd run out of it fast (and be too lazy to go out and buy) hehehe. SO! They got me a stack.What's so cool about a stack of examination pads anyway? All students have it. Well, for me the cool thing was the cover. No, it isn't the design. The design isn't out of this world (but yea, it was decently attractive) but the …
Syamsul sent me a video this evening of comedian Conan O'Brien's visit to Intel! They sponsored his show and he thought he should drop by to see how cool the "World's biggest chip manufacturer"'s office was.. and... haha just watch the video!
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 ...
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 …
They finally released a new trailer and this time, with more Transformers in it.My favourite quote from the trailer, "Its a robot, a super advanced robot.. must be Japanese". Its a nice reference and tribute to the original Japanese creators of Transformers!

AIDS is one of the most widespread diseases in Africa, with poverty and lack of education constantly being blamed for it. Millions of dollars have been spent on AIDS campaigns in Africa to educate the masses on safe and protected sex. The campaigns in Uganda was a success story and ever since then, the same ...
Many people have been asking me on where they can get both the latest and old episodes of Death Note and now with YouTube really banning most of the Death Note anime clips out there, I gotta admit that it is pretty hard to find even the latest episodes of it. But!! I managed to find some resources with both streaming and direct downloads of all the anime episodes from episode …
Haha after many sleepless nights working on the designs and creatives for NEXUS, I told myself that I'd never touch design again for at least the next 3 months... (seriously, I got tired of it!) but here I am designing again after just one month. I'd have to say its partly thanks to the super slow NUS Network that has prevented me from doing anything productive/fun online …
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, ...
Like every other morning, I woke up yesterday and went straight to my laptop to check my e-mail and read my IM messages but this time, there was something different. There was a HUGE piece of white paper on my laptop keypad... tada!!On closer inspection, I realized it was a note from my mum to get me to hang her clothes for her haha! She is usually out of the house by the …
On Thursday I decided to give 2nd life a 2nd chance and tried playing. Thanks to all the comments I got, I managed to teleport out of the idunnowhere to a city where there were people! YAY! Unfortunately, I couldn't get back to "tutorial" island to learn the rest of the basics of the game (and there's this irritating red arrow that keeps pointing in that direction telling me …

Our government did a research and came up with the few possible reasons:1) Graduates took courses that are not in demand2) Lack of command in English, hence being unable to write good resumes and perform well in …
Imagine one day your computer registry messes up, you format your PC only to find that you don’t have MS Powerpoint to prepare your presentations. Most of us would scream, curse Microsoft for making MS Office so unaffordable (especially for us students) and search frantically for someone with the software (or download a cracked version). ...

Just got a few done today, 3 more to go. Can't wait for the day that I'm done with all of them!! ^^;;;Anyway, why I'm blogging now is because I thought I haven't been updating for a while, …
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 ...
Sorry, just got done organizing a huge event in Malaysia and am too exhausted to cook up a post. So, I’ll leave you guys with a video instead. yup! The title says it. There is a Star Wars + Phantom Of The Opera mashup on YouTube! Pardon me if I’m outdated but I just came ...
