Bourne Ultimatum
Rottentomatoes.com rated it 94% (as of 18 August).
Transformers got a rating of 57% (as of 18 August).
License to wed got a rating of … err… 8% (as of 18 August).
Bourne Ultimatum is SO MUCH better than the already-best Transformers?! Wow, it must be damn good.
Err, not really. There's Bourne Supremacy and Identity before this. I [...]
The coursework results post

Suicide cause of recall
Nokia is offering to replace 46 million batteries for its mobile phones after reports of overheating while charging.

AND on a more sad story:
US toymaker Mattel has recalled millions of toys worldwide for the second time in two weeks.
Cheung Shu-hung, a co-owner of the Lee Der Industrial in southern China, came under [...]
Google Maps - Singapore
Many Singaporeans rely on Streetdirectory.com, it's a great tool, but often too cluttered with advertisements even if I pay (well, at least in the past).
Didn't really like it, so I moved on to http://maps.google.com. Think it's for the Americans only? Think again.

Here, the directions from Temasek Polytechnic to Nanyang Polytechnic, just an example.

My room, a year back and now
My table, today. If i'm doing my work on paper, I'll shift my laptop further back to the end of the table and do my work on the space available.
The photo below was how my table looked erm, a year back when I was taking my O levels:
You can see the difference, a year back [...]
I installed this colour laser printer yesterday, removing my trustworthy Brother HL-2040 bw laser printer which is by far the longest lasting printer.
I read a news today saying that laser is harmful for us, really feel like moving it out of my room.
An Australian research team has found that some printers give off invisible particles [...]
Vista screwed me
In the previous post, I did not write a lot about my presentation today.
I think it went pretty well, after all i rehearsed it like 6 or more times so it BETTER be well.
I got frustrated this morning, when I brought my laptop to school, guess what Vista greeted me with?
A photo of Jessica Alba [...]
Presentation today
The above is my wife, Steph.
That's me, in my oversized shirt. I took my father's blue shirt, which was erm, too big?
So I think I look like a tard today.
I'm going to run 3.2 km later, it's burning outdoors :(.
NEW PHOTOS:
Project meetup
Woke up early, went for lunch with my family, ate Katong Laksa.
Bishan-ed after that, met up with Wen, Steph and Jerm outside of Hagen Daz with the sunlight shining on us, wonderful. Really cooling experience. Drank like 4 cups of water to keep me cool, plus a mango sorbet. Moved inside afterwards… woah, the aircon.
I'll [...]
Boring weekends
That Kendre seems to have multiple identities, scary.
Locked myself home yesterday, was supposed to finish up my Economics, but apparently didn't do so. Instead, felt so bored I went to run for 3 kilometres.
Went out for dinner with Don and Eugene today, Don was late for 3 hours… :S. Bowled 5 games, then left for [...]
