It’s 5:13 in the afternoon right now. I’m in the library with Tim Hortons and arguably I’m simultaneously surrounded, engulfed and swimming in an orgy of media: Music through my earphones, a textbook on mass communications, and the internet running.
My attention consistently switching between an amazing line of lyrics (”Why are there so many songs [...]

Last Sunday, after the madness that was homecoming, Jason felt the urge to wake up early and make pancakes, so the household was up by 1020am and in the kitchen.
The running joke is that Eugene (in white) is the “Cook” and Jason is the “intern”, so this video is of the Cook giving the intern [...]

As much as our local students are seemingly either rude or ignorant during Q&A sessions, I’m sorry to say that Singaporean executives are no better. Here they are paying almost $1,000 for a conference hosted at a rather beautiful convention centre, and what do they do?

Leave their trash behind. Stuff from their goodie bags, pens, [...]

I was at the Future Generation (aka student) track of ad:tech yesterday and I was really disappointed (almost disgusted) by the lack of professionalism in the crowd. About 140 students from the universities and polytechnics, and no one knows how to state their name and affiliation before asking a question?
I actually asked a question and [...]

Yesterday was the HP TouchSmart PC Blogger’s Nite at Brotzeit and I have to say I had a blast. Hands down it was the best blogger event I’ve attended (yes, even over my own Social Media Breakfast: Singapore). And I’m not saying that because I organised it, but there was just something about a killer [...]

So this year I decided I needed some “excitement” in my life and chose to go to the PC show on the last night at the last hour. The office people made a trip on Thursday and I went with them to scout around and target the stuff I wanted, and then went back tonight.
So [...]

I was looking through my old HDD and clearing some stuff up and came across this:

That’s us. The “Singapore Management University” team with no name. So even though we eventually got trashed, we can proudly say that at one time we were the 16th best team in Singapore for Counter-Strike.
And don’t let anyone tell you [...]

Was in the car while my dad was driving to work today and the topic of discussion today was a survey that revealed that Singapore came out tops on standard of living in the ASEAN region.
Many people called in to whine about Singapore, whereas others called to say Singapore is great. Everyone agreed Singapore is [...]

So here’s the missing pieces of the story after the buffet “ran out” and before Guitar Hero started. I was looking through the shots and this segment of the night really produced some wonderful shots (or so I think) due to a combination of the surroundings (Arab Street really has a charm around it) and [...]

I haven’t really talked about this so far, but I’m heading up to Queens University in Kingston, Ontario on August 24th for exchange. I originally wanted to leave on the 22nd of August so I could celebrate my birthday here, and then land on the 22nd and celebrate it again, but oh well, no seats.
So [...]
