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...…
4 of 4s
wow. 3 years ago, Ban Hua wanted to surprise LH for her birthday, and today, its like coming full circle of the NUS years and we are doing the same thing again, albeit without the main organiser but his presence was still felt nonetheless. And previously it was JEC Kbox, and now it was just a few roads across at IMM, strangely deja-vu. …
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 have been considering to get this phone for quite awhile, the wait was extended also no thanks to Singtel and the Red Wheels promotion, which gave me a $100 dollars voucher but required a student plan, hmm, the corporate plan under Mindef was still a better deal.

Night of Jazz

I guess there are still some details to be improved on, but hopefully, wouldn’t be picked on so much! …

Of course, the natural thing will be to proceed down the checklist of 10 items, seeing which applies to me.

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...…
excited Over The Wrong Things
Its getting into the crazy school period once again, with FYP, assignments, tests, tons coming and no reprieve in sight. Yet, in the midst of it all, the blasphemy has begun with the planning of Holidays. Andy made a pertinent point, I have been working on my thesis for such a long period of time that now I am so sick of it. Haha. Argh, lost the urge, the pressure to really cramp it out. Its like short term intense pain vs a long bout of suffering. …
