Lunar New Year 2008
Chinese New Year. I find it getting more boring each year, as my cousins grow older with their own families and our gathering time keeps shrinking. As kids we'd play late into the night; now it's all far briefer.

Happy Lunar New Year 2008
It's the year of the rat, which is my year, since I was born in 1984, some 24 years ago, and I turn 24 next month. I hereby wish all Chinese a happy and prosperous Lunar New Year. Huat ah!
Nokia N82 Black
Product information for the Nokia N82 in black, courtesy of Engadget. A sleek dark take on Nokia's photography-focused Nseries flagship, pairing its 5-megapixel Carl Zeiss camera and Xenon flash with an understated, fingerprint-prone finish that suits the device rather nicely.

The Mist
I'm so swamped with school, with assignments and tutorials coming non-stop. With Chinese New Year next week, I've one CS3216 assignment and four tutorials, two CS2301, one MA1312 and one CS2106, all due Tuesday. So stressful!

Singapore Future MRT/LRT Map (Updated)
Update: the image below turned out to be fake; please see my August 2014 post for the real Singapore future MRT/LRT map. This was the latest track system map, including the newly announced Thomson and Eastern Region MRT lines.
HTML 5 Differences From HTML 4
HTML 5 is the first major update to HTML in ten years, since HTML 4 in December 1997, and I'm looking forward to it. It adds APIs for drawing 2D graphics, embedding and controlling multimedia, and managing client-side storage.
Windows 7 (Seven) M1 Details Leaked?
Here are some post-install details on Windows 7 M1, originally posted by Kenipnet in Neowin's forums. Over the weekend he finally tried the build but was disappointed, as his primary machine asked for a SATA driver.
My Spelling Checker Poem
I found this poem, My Spelling Checker, rather amusing during my CS2301 lecture today, so I thought I'd share it. The wrong version still passes the spell check: Eye halve a spelling chequer, it came with my pea sea.

It's the first week of my new semester, year 2, semester 2; all going well, I'll graduate in year 4, semester 1, around the end of 2009. My modules this semester include Operating Systems and Business and Technical Communication.

My New Spectacles And Television
After some miscommunication, I finally collected my spectacles from Optics Today at Queensway Shopping Centre, which I've patronised since secondary school. The shop is owned by my uncle's old classmate, who always gives us very good prices on glasses.
Facebook Plans ‘User Profile Clean-up’ Tool
Copied from Neowin: don't you love how Facebook has an app for everything? Don't you love wading through friends' profiles just to find their Wall? And don't you love how Facebook looks more and more like MySpace by the day?
Genting Trip
I blog faster than Li Xiang, who's only finished Day 1, so here's my version of our Genting trip. Day 1, Wednesday 2nd January 2008: we reached Golden Mile Complex and took a Grassland bus, departing at 7:15am.
Back From Genting
I'm back from a four-day, three-night Genting trip, my fourth visit. The first was in 1990 aged six, the second in 1993 aged nine, the third in 1997 aged thirteen, and now, eleven years on, I'm 24. How time flies.

I wish all my visitors, readers, commenters and plugin users a Merry Christmas, and I hope you've all received your presents! I got mine all the way from Hong Kong, an authentic Louis Vuitton card holder. Thanks, mom and dad!
WordPress For Dummies Arrived
Amazon's estimated shipping date proved quite accurate: the site said it would arrive on 18th December 2007, and it really did, in fact early that morning around 10am. I've already read through the entire WordPress For Dummies.
