(Untitled)
The bf flew in from Singapore for the weekend, and yesterday a bunch of friends came over and we all made tangyuan together! It was a hilarious affair with many a botched tangyuan, but the main thing that stuck with me was one of my materials science classmates telling me she was excited to finally meet the bf. It wasn't something I normally ( Read more... ) -
RIP File Sharing
Literally every site I know is going down now - mediafire, filesonic, 4shared, VideoBB etc.
I suppose I can only hope that this crackdown will eventually in a drop in sales of big companies. The easiest (but slow) way to protest is really to stop buying things - DVDs, merchandise etc., especially from Hollywood. As individual consumers we have ( Read more... ) -
Disney Princesses
Someone had posted a parody video of Mean Girls using Disney Princess clips on facebook today which gave me the sudden urge to watch The Little Mermaid again, a show for which I remember the songs intimately, but not the rest of the movie. I'd never actually realized it was released the year I was born - that's a mighty long time ago.
Watching it ( Read more... ) -
PIPA, SOPA
So I'm a little late on the uptake, despite wikipedia going offline the night before home-I-cannot-do was due, but I really don't understand SOPA and PIPA. The pirates have changed the way people engage in media so fully and thoroughly that cracking down on them after more than a decade of successful operation is likely to hurt rather than help ( Read more... ) -
GE2011: What do Singaporeans want?
I know I don't have a lot of Singaporean friends on LJ - many have moved on to tumblr or dreamwidth or facebook. But it's because there are so few that I wanted a first opinion here before even contemplating posting anything to the wide and cruel world of facebook:
What DO Singaporeans want?
(aka not what you don't want)
Someone recently posted a ( Read more... ) -
Last post!
I haven't felt like blogging for a long time now, because all I can report is that I've been packing, which is more or less true.
One new event to add to my misadventures in packing procrastination is A2008, the Astronomy exhibition at the Glass Hall of the Singapore Art Museum. Great line-up of speakers and fascinating telescopes on display, so ( Read more... ) -
Selling A-level books!
Hello! This is directed to my darling juniors in J1 or 2 who, at this late juncture, might still want to stock up on extra practice papers. Or perhaps the sec 4s who would like early preparation.
All listed books have marginal to zero usage since me being typically me, I failed to study when I was supposed to. And all listed prices are about half of ( Read more... ) -
Last Day
And yet another goodbye, but not for long. Ended my internship today so the lab went out for lunch at the Sun Bistro at NUS, had sausages! And apple crumble and icecream, half of which was koped from yx lol. Am really going to miss AML and APL, all the geeky conversation where people refer to child discipline techniques (aka caning) in terms of ( Read more... ) -
Just Look Back
I was being bored and re-reading my past entries and realised that I'd never actually had a 'farewell' kind of post after JC. There were reflections and stuff but not really a farewell, because we'd still be hanging around each other for another 8 months or so since A levels ended.
So since some unis are starting and many of us will be flying off ( Read more... )
