Yesterday was the start of Spiderman 3 in Malaysia!!! And... since my family and I were on break while almost everyone else in the country was working and studying, I figured that the cinemas would be EMPTY and I'd be able to get good seats without having to queue for insanely long hours / do a telephone booking.. and I was right!We decided check out Cineleisure which is this …
A few days ago my parents came to Singapore for a short trip before evacuating me back to Malaysia! It was really GREAT indulging in YUMMY food again(I'm gonna get fat!!) after a whole semester of hall food (I'm not saying hall food is bad but its just.... very "healthy"). So anyway! We ate at a lot of places some of which were my favourite and one of the places we went to …
For a very long time I’ve only been receiving unnecessary update e-mails from various online applications like Twitter, Change.org, Facebook, etc. Today I got something that caught my eye and deserved my attention; an e-mail with the subject line “Faster uploads with our new YouSendIt application” and promises of an efficient, user-friendly and convenient …
Hey guys! My friend Michael (aka miccheng) sent me an invitation to join the Singapore PHP Group. As I’ve been dabbling around with quite a bit of JSP, XML and SQL lately, I decided to join to see how it feels to be part of an Open Source community in Singapore. This is the first ...
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, its been a long time since I last posted here about the stuff in my second blog. ANyway! Here's a quick update of what I've been writing there! :)Lecturers should read blogs of studentsWill Ping.SG ever grow big? If it does, will it still be as effective?YouSendIt.com goes into Desktop Apps!
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 ...
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'm finally back from my 4-day escape from all the hustle and bustle of KL. Having no internet access and being able to really put all my worries, work, responsibilities and projects aside to enjoy my short rondeveau. Thanks to everyone for their wishes and sorry to those who tried to contact me. Going to have a good nap right now! Will update later. Ciao! ^_~
I hope people do not mistake the significance of the iPhone as its large touchscreen, its coolness, or even cause is is an Apple.The real significance for the iphone is the liberation it delivers to the mobile web. The problem is that for traditional mobile apps is that due to the very limited web interface, the only way for it to be interesting is that you need to develop …
I got a "Gotta Get Goals" meme from clappingtrees a while back and I didn't really have time to respond and think about my goals until now! SORRY for the delay clappingtrees! ^^;;; Maybe I should call myself "The La99in9 blo99er" haha.Anyway! Here are the 9 goals my immature self would want to achieve at the moment! (I'm very fickle-minded so who knows how my goals will …
The Christmas season is coming and First Meta has some very bold plans coming up, and with great plans come great requirements. Hence, they are now on the hunt for some cool and funky talents! If you are looking for a job that is non-conventional, different and fast-paced, check out the e-mail below from Aileen, ...
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. …
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 …
Hey guys, I’ll not be writing anything here until after the 2nd of December. This is because exams are around the corner and I have a lot of things to settle before I leave for my 2nd home! Promise that I’ll put up lots of cool stuff once ...
Hey guys! Min Xuan sent me this fantastic video which is a collection of the best newspaper headline jokes found by Jay Leno! Thought I should share it as a treat for all of us who will be having exams soon. Enjoy! ^_~
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 …
As university is starting soon, I see the cycle of indecisive students repeating itself (by students I mean both current and prospective university students). They start to question things like the program they’re currently in, the major they are about to pick(or am already in), job prospects, opportunities and of course, we can never leave ...
As the news splash about Sony Playstation’s CEO, Ken Kutaragi’s resignation and the declining market share of the PlayStation3(and increase of Xbox360’s of course), I can’t help but believe that Xbox360 played their cards too perfectly in Asia. When the Xbox and PS2 were competing, PS2’s sales in Asia were waaaay ahead of the Xbox’s ...
The recent uproar caused by the leaking roof of the 44 year old Parliament building in KL is true blue evidence of how much time and effort the government puts into maintaining public government properties in Malaysia. Think about it, they can't even maintain their very own Parliament building properly, THE place where they have meetings frequently and run their government …
