Public Service Swimming Meet 2016
Carrying on from the theme of the last one, I haven't raced in 2 years and was a little worried that I would be a degenerate mess here ( Read more... ) -
Trying Mammal Research
Rejection came fast and swift.
Says lacks clear hypotheses.
Wasn't bruised nor ego hurt.
Now trying out mammal research. -
Zombie Undergrads
Opened closing lift doors for hand-holding undergrad couple while everyone waited as they sauntered in and stared through the doors. Turned to them and said you're welcome. They just gawked at me for the rest of the vertical journey. -
2014 in Review
So it's been almost a year into the job - almost the job of my dreams, just that I haven't got to do it yet. The bait and switch in job scope was extremely distressing for me, and I really didn't think I could have made it till the end alive (as a matter of speech). Perhaps I was being too much of a drama queen about it at the start ( Read more... ) -
Public Service Swimming Meet 2014
Haven't raced in more than a year, and was beginning to miss it. The Public Service Swimming Meet was such a nice and relaxed affair - more like going for a dip between chats and catching up with old friends than any thing serious at all.

Signs of a bitter man as the years go on / Kissing the sunset pig
Trying really hard to be less judgmental everyday. It didn't use to be this hard. I must have become more opinionated over the years ( Read more... ) -
2 More Years to Cat Y1
Looking back at past tags, wah, I haven't done an IPPT post for a long time. So this post is more for tradition sake. But I learnt a few things from it.- All that fieldwork in CNR, Tekong and Cambodia must be really good exercise! Have not been running and the only other thing I do is a once a week swim with the team. Of course, being a Cat Y oldie ( Read more... )
