To begin describing the story is an uphill task for me. As I left the theater, I was so full of emotion left and right that I kept thinking about the movie even when I’m on my way home in the train. continue reading »

Recalling the moments I had with Marios during the five day Freshmen Orientation Camp, I cant help but wonder my own experiences during poly days. Days prior to the first day of school in NYP, I had undergone a similar FOC as the class of 0402. We were champion class as well and it was highly unexpected.

So I bought 7 or so new folders to store all my new notes for the upcoming semester, and i think its unsustainable. I have 2 waist-level shelves bought from IKEA and I feel that it is already reaching its limit. Those shelves are meant to store my notes from school neatly, since I usually buy the ring binders from Popular and neatly store them according to modules. But every semester, it would fill up the entire shelf space. I have 3 more years to go and I have already used up 2 of the available 6. I just dunno where to store them next. Theres so many notes to print every time. I already have to resort to printing double sides to save paper and potentially save space, so that i can fit an entire module’s worth of notes on one ring binder. Its such a waste to throw your notes away. After all, it might be useful in the future and a number of the notes are really good. Some are extremely informative and it makes certain concepts easier to understand, without resorting to finding a textbook for the information you want to find.

After attending the NTU SBS FOC 2010, one question popped into my head: Why did I not go for last year’s FOC? It dawned upon me as the single biggest regret and the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life in recent years.

It’s very rare for me to play a game and complete it in 3 days. Some might argue that some games are truly short and that you can complete it within that time frame. There is just now way you can complete an epic RPG in that time, unless you play for 3 days straight without sleeping. But to summarise my experience of playing God of War III (GOWIII), I would only use one word to describe the game, and even that word is a gross understatement: EPIC.

Im a fan of mac products. They are expensive no doubt, but the strength in their product lies in their design, use of materials, some of which are free from toxic chemicals and environmentally harmful manufacturing processes and last but not least, reliability.

This time, with the first half of the year gone, I attempt to further refine my goals and deepen my cause to reduce my carbon footprint. Here are some of the things that I would be doing now on: continue reading »

So how did I fare this semester? continue reading »
I have been reading the second book of Greg Mortenson’s, “Stones into Schools”, and follows his life helping kids in the most remote reaches of Afghanistan and Pakistan by building schools and lifting the crushing poverty that has plagued this group of people living there. The more I read, the more inspiring his stories are and never in my life have I read the book so moving, to the point where I just made a donation of USD10 to the Central Asia Institute, the non-profit organisation that helps to finance and plan the construction of schools since its first formation by Mr Greg himself. His life story, his failures and successes are both enormous and greater than life.
One particular passage in his book struck me particularly hard personally, and after reading it, sealed my decision to actually make the transaction to donate some money to the CAI online. Read on to find out… continue reading »
