(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.

I was browsing through the TED talks earlier today and came across this series of speeches themed "Might you live a great deal longer?"about... you guessed it! Immortality.

Notably missing from the list …

Its just one of …
Just finished working on revamping the Discover U.S. Education - KL'07 website with Syamsul! (Of course with him doing the programming geeky coding stuff and me doing the usual graphics, but I gotta admit, I did learn quite a lot of coding working with him).The reason I'm writing this is because many people are taking the necessity of having a good and presentable website for …
From most of the projects and organizations I've been involved in, the hardest thing for me wasn't so much managing and keeping the team motivated but having to make hard decisions quickly(sometimes within an hour) without time to run it through the team.Why is this hard?One reason is some of your team members may feel that you are not respecting their roles, thoughts and …
