I’ve been away from blogging for awhile as life becomes significantly busier towards the end of the year. I’ll be doing my 2nd marathon this coming weekend and I hope I will not get injured or overstrain myself. I am seriously considering micro-blogging using twitter and Lifestream, which is more useful for me since I ...
By the end of today, I would have completed 26 orbits around the sun.I do not really feel anything special about birthdays, except the ones that give you certain legal rights. Having been past the age of 21, there is nothing I really look forward to as I’ve gotten all my legal rights.I’ve finished 3 ...
I chanced upon a thread in HWZ’s Book Nook about a bunch of students who are collecting books for Sri Lankan kids and decided to do my part by donating my old books to them. Most of my books are science fiction and fantasy novels, written by the likes of Sir Arthur C. Clarke and ...
I’ve finally got about to using the twitter account I registered back in February 2008 to update my facebook status. Of course, I wouldn’t be satisfied with just updating my facebook status using twitter. I reckoned that this blog’s “description” is kinda boring, so I decided to display my latest twitter status as my blog ...
I’ve been listening to .977 the Hitz Channel for more than three years already. It’s a internet-based radio station which I discovered in the Shoutcast directory back in 2005. The songs played on this radio station is mainly Top 40 Pop/Rock/Hip-Hop/R&B, which includes artistes like Black Eye Peas, Daughtry and Rihanna. Occasionally, they’ll play hits ...
As someone who loves First Person Shooters and to a certain extend Third Person Shooters, Fall/Winter 2008 is a very good season for me.Firstly, Crysis Warhead was released in mid-September.As a parallel story to Crysis, this expansion focuses on the adventures of Pyscho, a British member of the team. The system requirements for the game ...
I took part in the New Balance Real Run 2008 this morning. As usual, the shuttle bus service starts very early in the morning, which means that I have to wake up even earlier than usual for the shuttle bus.I got up at 0430hrs this morning to take a cab to Jurong East MRT to ...
The local cinemas are showing the movie 20th Century Boys recently. It was one of those mangas which I earmarked for reading but never gotten around to reading. Therefore, I took a break f …
After spending two weeks in the refugee camp know as Basic Combat Training Center, I returned to real life sporting a complexion that is two shades darker than my pre-ICT self. I found myself doing a lot of menial tasks as well as facing more logistics difficulties this time round, which kind of made my ...
It’s the time of the year again where I have perform my duties as a male Singaporean Citizen. I’ll be off for a vacation in the western part of Singapore for the next two weeks. Hope I can squeeze out some time for a run to keep up with my SCSM training.Woohoo!
Ever since I started blogging about the ebook reader, I’ve received quite a bit of enquiries on buying an electronic ink device in Singapore. My usual answer would be to buy it from either B&H or Amazon. Shipping in ebook readers in this manner has a problem. The lack of warranty coverage in Singapore might ...

Took part in the Swing KPE on the morning of 14th Sept 2008. I purposely sign up for this run so that I can run with Johnny, who took up running recently. I took a train from CCK to Kovan, which is one of two designated pick-up points for the ferry service to the race ...
Was talking to my friend on the issue of DRM in games nowadays. Spore, which was released in Singapore over the weekend last week, has an installation limit of 3 installs. My first reaction to this news is WTF. Yes, plain ol’ WTF.I admit that back in the days that I am a poor student, ...

Participated in the Nike Human Race 2008 yesterday. To be frank, I didn’t do very well for the race. I came in at around 54:48, which is even slower than my Mizuno Wave Run. Considering the fact that I was blocked by a lot of people at Mizuno Wave Run, this run is really a ...
Been kinda busy in real life attending workshops on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) at IBM Changi. I find that it’s quite an informative course, though most of the people who attended the course are the Software Architects and not the Technical people(aka me). Met my NS unit’s DyS1 Marcus on the first day of course, ...
Having been inactive in the Ubuntu Singapore scene for almost the whole year, I’ve recently gotten involved in the design of the Logo for Ubuntu Singapore.The initial variations of logo designs started out with just color variations of the logo, but using red/white combination meant that the logo will look damn ugly against white backgrounds. ...
I ran the AHM with my bro yesterday. It’s quite funny that we have our no. tags in running sequence when we registered seperately for the event. This being his maiden half-marathon, I decided to just follow him and keep him running for as long as I could. This resulted in us coming in at ...
