Any other thing under the sun.

From Rags to Riches

July 29, 2010  |  Miscellaneous  |  Not quite riches. But it’s amazing how in a little over a week, all this mess is going to turn into something that actually does look nice enough to be paraded around in a sort of competition. That is going to become a ...

Courtesy is for YOG too

July 14, 2010May 5, 2014  |  Miscellaneous  |  After so many years of courtesy campaign, it seems our Singapore 2010 YOG still needs to learn a thing or two. Have you seen the GIVE WAY signs on the roads and YOG buses? They scream “get out of my way”… much ...

It’s Only Once Every 50 Years

June 16, 2010August 18, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  I just heard about what the rain is doing to various parts of Singapore. Like turning Lucky Plaza’s basement into a swimming pool. It’s the kind of rain that happens only once every 50 years that has come to visit us ...

Moving to New Office

June 3, 2010November 30, 2014  |  Miscellaneous  |  We’ve finally moved to a new office. Three years late, after the rest of the school had already moved. We joked that we were unimportant third-class citizens, and hence were left behind. (Sometimes we do feel like ...

Post ICT 2010 Review

May 28, 2010August 18, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  Last year’s ICT achievement was about an arcade game. This year, I couldn’t advance to the next level because the fire button was broken. Oh, too bad. But we didn’t have a lot of time to spend in the mess ...

May 13, 2010May 13, 2010  |  Miscellaneous  |  I told Vanessa on the second day of ICT, as I was preparing to head out: “Papa has to go army now.” Vanessa looked at me, her face was painted in shock and disappointment: “Again???” I told her, ...

FOD Walk

May 11, 2010May 22, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  It’s almost 20 years since I first stepped into Tengah Air Base. In all that time (well, mostly just the two years of active NSF service), I’ve been to all over the air base, either on wheels or on my two feet. But ...

New Bus Stop Sign Posts

May 3, 2010May 5, 2014  |  Miscellaneous  |  A few weeks ago, I happened to see a work crew making their rounds installing a bunch of new bus stop sign posts. You’ve probably seen many of these already at various bus stops around the island.  I was just wondering ...

A Lesson in IT Project Management

April 27, 2010June 9, 2015  |  Miscellaneous  |  I wouldn’t say I’m really that much of an expert in IT project management. But I’m not fresh out of school. I’ve been working for enough number of years to have seen many things. So it is really annoying ...

The e-Armed Forces

April 17, 2010May 22, 2016  |  Miscellaneous  |  We’re seeing more of the e-armed forces. BMT recruits, 2600 of them, were issued with notebook computers at the start of their BMT course last December so that they can do “e-learning” at their own time. They ...
