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:
1) Hiro and Ando’s [...]

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 [...]

A lot of hoo-hah going around about people not believing this and all that sort of stuff. So I just want to say two things.
1) The numbers and figures are probably pretty accurate. All the speculation about SMU talking about higher pay is stupid. Even if they want to lie, how much can they lie? [...]

This term I took a compulsory course called Strategy under Adel Dimian. At the end of the course he gave everyone a t-shirt with his trademark “There Is No Cannot” slogan and a week before exams encouraged us to wear it for the final paper.
Guess what? We did.

As Michael Netzley says “2.0 of us”

Ams, myself [...]

I stumbled upon Rachel’s blog yesterday where she mentions the gist of what a professor said in class:
Two weeks ago, my Comms professor gave a farewell speech to commemorate the end of the module. In his speech, he shared with us what the seniors thought of us. To paraphrase what he said - you freshmen [...]

Business processes exam is tomorrow and it took me forever to get started. Why? Because for this particular course I print out all my notes. And here’s how the paper in my room looks:

That Newsweek magazine is something I used for research in December 2007.

So basically I had to look in 6 places to find [...]
