“I can read Wikipedia”

I was alert to @litford’s tweet on a search term that was catching on. Curiously, I tried the search term “I can read Wikipedia” out (on both Google.com and Google.com.sg). I did not click I’m Feeling Lucky. I’m Feeling Lucky loads the first link of the search. Instead, I run the search. Guess what I [...]

[Deprecated] Unofficial guide to SMU Email Server

This guide is deprecated by a newer version. This serves as a guide for new freshmen who are coming into SMU (Singapore Management University). I have matriculated early, and I know of the pain of not being able to sync my mails to my laptop and my mobile phone one day. This guide is for [...]

Delivery screw up by vPost

Today, I received the Loop Pointer I have bought from USA. There was a screw-up in the delivery method, in my opinion, though. My family was not at home to receive the parcel. And when my dad came home at 2.30pm, he found the parcel on the floor, beside the house gate. Yes, thank you [...]

Awkward Silence and NS

Yesterday, we had a beneficiary visit to a certain primary school. It was not the first time we went there. Anyway, that is not the point of this post. It was the conversation during the car ride to Ang Mo Kio for a LAN gaming session. Girl A, asking all 4 guys in the car, [...]

CommunicAsia 2010 – The Skype Experience & Giveaway!

Spoof: North Korea vs Portugal (North Korean Broadcast) 2010

Recently, a spoof video has surfaced on Youtube on a purported North Korean propaganda of the 7-0 loss in the last North Korea against Portugal match. It is dumb that people are believing it to be real, judging by the comments on the site. Well, it is not. Anyone can come out with their own [...]

Sing and Dance!

I was bored doing my homework, so I decided to take a break and just watched the Facebook news feed ran by. Two Youtube videos came out. The first one was hilarious. It is two Korean girls singing a song in karaoke style, with a twist to it. I have to thank Nathalia for the [...]

Expected outage

WordPress 3.0 is out! That  means I have to upgrade my blog engine. In fact, it is begging for me to upgrade now.  I have set up, somehow, two domains for this blog. It will take time and effort to undo it and redo it. So do expect outage that lasts for a day [...]

[Youtube] 天黑黑

天黑黑是一首家喻户晓的歌。我第一次听这首歌的时候是中一,中二的时候吧。那时,颜永成学校合唱团为了比赛而学习。 孙燕子借用了一些词而唱了她的天黑黑。 周一,thinkfamily.sg发出了一份关于孝道的短片。在这短片里,这首歌被用来作为一个桥梁,进入了父亲和奶奶的回忆。对许多人来说,这无疑带来了很多的感情。请慢慢观赏。 P.S. My grasp of Chinese is rudimentary. So please, if you find any mistakes, leave a comment. I have tried to use Google Translate as minimally as possible since the translation is not always not accurate.

The hypocrisy that US practice

I have to clarify that no matter how perfect a person, or an entity is, no one is free from being a hypocrite. The following article came up in my Tweet stream just recently: MFA questions credibility of US human trafficking report (…)   The Singapore Government questioned how the US could rank itself in [...]
