I unearthed this “gem” from way back in March 2007. Strictly not music per se and if you weren’t from SMU or entered the school after June ‘07 you might not get all the jokes.
However, if you remember the days in SMU where dancers used our glass panels as mirrors and we could cross the [...]

Toffeenut lattes really bring me back, like four years back to my first term in SMU where people like myself, Eric, Zal, Dorothy and Wanida would be holed up in the then-fishbowl-for-a-studio studying and go on coffee runs (complete with triple shot lattes on some days). And until today it’s a shared thing that we’ll [...]

I didn’t create this video, but the person who did…. pure genius!!!

After over a week of being hyped up for the Milo Challenge, the day finally came. The challenge: To consume 350 litres of Milo in less than 29mins 59seconds, which was NUS’s previous record.
Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to break the record (SMU students don’t know how to drink Milo?), but I think most of us [...]

This week’s episode of Heroes – episode 9 of volume three: Villains – is definitely the worst episode of this season, and perhaps of all time (it’s a close call, comparing it to season two when Maya and her brother existed). How much do I dislike it? Let me count the ways:

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve noticed a jump in blog traffic to my blog posts regarding SMU “Are You Sure You Want To Come To SMU? Think Carefully” and “At Least One Professor Thinks SMU Has Lost The Plot Too“. I suppose it’s because now’s the time when people are getting their acceptance to one or more universities and [...]
