Why We Should Thank Our Enemies
My mother has been frequenting a religious centre where she takes religious lessons and attends prayer sessions. She spends a considerable amount of time there. There are 2 other regular attendees who take the lessons with her. For some reason, my mom tells me that they have been giving her the cold shoulder lately. My [...]
Exam Results
My exam results came out this morning. I was quite surprised at the results. I scored well for modules that I thought I’d fare badly in, while scoring badly for a module that I thought would push my grades up. This isn’t the first time such things have happened. Along the semester similar things also [...]
Which Major Should I Take?
I’m stuck in a dilemma and I don’t have much time left to think through it. I have a choice between taking Information Systems or E-Commerce as my major. To sum it up, IS can provide me with more useful knowledge/skills for a job in the IT Industry while EC is a seemingly easy way [...]
How I got to travel often (aka How I managed my finances)
If you noticed, I used past tense ‘got’ in the title. Yeah, this means that I will go travelling less often from now. Because I am not able to sustain such expenditure anymore. Over the past year, although I no longer enjoy the income that I had in the past, I was still able to [...]
SuSE Linux 10.2
I just upgraded from SuSE 10.0 to 10.2. It’s quite a big difference despite the small increment in version number. Linux is getting more user-friendly by the day, and in my opinion, is a wonderful alternative to Micro$ Windoze. Contrary to popular beliefs, there are lots of stable alternatives to popular Windoze applications on the [...]
Min Jiang @ Goodwoodpark Hotel
Had dim sum high-tea buffet at Goodwoodpark Hotel’s Min Jiang Restaurant yesterday. The food standard had gone down by leaps and bounds since I last tried it (Ok, the last time was like 3 years ago?). It used to be a cosy affair with aunties pushing dim sum carts around the traditional way. Now it’s [...]
Flying on Low Cost Carriers/Budget Airlines
I think Singaporeans need some education on the purpose of Low Cost Carriers/Budget Airlines such as Tiger Airways, Jetstar Asia and AirAsia. The reason that these carriers are able to keep prices low is that they cut operational costs where possible. That is, no meals and drinks, no early check-in, lower baggage allowances, no special [...]
On Friendship
It’s a cold evening with nothing much to do and I don’t feel like sleeping yet… perfect setting for the mind to wander again… I was just browsing through my list of friends on friendster… and realised that I’m no longer in touch with more than 90% of them. Thinking about the past, I feel glad [...]
Exams are gonna be over…. in 2 days!!!
Hmmm, come to think of it… these couple of months I’ve been lamenting about not being able to go travelling due to studies… but I did a count just now and if I include this upcoming Thailand trip, I’d have spent 34 days of my life in 2006 travelling. That’s more than a month. If [...]
