What Do I want to do when I Grow Up?

boy (or girl), what do you want to be when you grow up? Isn’t that a typical question? I can’t remember my answer to that question, to some extents I guess work always appeared very much a burden to me. There were only that few jobs or supposedly big words a kid is expected to know.. let’s see, the usual list probably goes like this, “engineer, doctor, lawyer, architect, teacher and the ubiquitous fireman and policeman”. Or perhaps those were the few jobs that I know, that people felt deserved the recognition from such a vocation. I couldn’t remember what...…

the Last Lecture

Today marks quite a sad day as I heard the news of a fellow ece undergraduate who had passed away only yesterday. I was not that close to him, but knew him to be a strong, independent person who was very much capable in all he do. Initial impression was that he was an easy going person and yet in some ways, the path he walked was similar to mine. Feeling quite saddened by his loss, but yet, not much can be done now, except to learn from his lesson and remember that the easiest way out is not the...…

Playing With My Nokia E61

Surprisingly, despite Nokia’s dominance, I have never used a Nokia phone before, the last 3 phones I owned were either Sony Ericsson or Samsung, and well, this makes for a nice change.

I ended up not using the voucher and could have just gotten the phone a couple of months ago. Well,...…

Night of Jazz

After a week of bustling with FYP and work, it was a nice reset of pace back to some non-work related stuff. Before that, I managed to submit my thesis / technical paper to both examiner and supervisor and that was like a huge relief when that was done. I guess there are still some details to be improved on, but hopefully, wouldn’t be picked on so much! …

Just read this article, “Ten Ways Being a Geek Makes You More Attractive” and hey of course, that applies to me! Of course, the natural thing will be to proceed down the checklist of 10 items, seeing which applies to me. So, erm, I might be some way off, but I’m slowly getting there! **You’re probably very smart. **hmm… well, applies to me? Yes, I DO think so. Hahaha. It’s hip to be geek.Nope, this doesn’t apply to me. But hey, at least I’m not THAT scrawny, no thick glasses, and erm, I am at least good for a Hi...…
