Wonders of MSN

MSN does wonders. Why? I can get updates of the latest happenings from Singapore. All the exciting events and recounts from friends of mine who thinks I should be kept in the loop. What a good way to deter homesickness. Thanks to MSN, and the space , I get bits and pieces of what is going on in hall too. Some things just won't change.... I wonder what life during SEP was like? No skype, msn, webcam, and international direct call was the cheapest option to keep in touch with friends and family from SG. I would be a nightmare, won't it?

Kampsax Notice


The management from Kampsax (a hostel that is occupied by mostly Danish students, much like the 6 halls in NUS) must be damn pissed to put up notices on every single container in campus village (a congregation of container-like structures that is meant for international students, analogous to PGP with regard to only the population make up). I wonder who is the person caught stealing a barstool.

Yet another trophy-less season


Arsenal never fail to amaze me with the style of football they play. Yet, they seldom produce the result that the fans, or rather I, hope for. For the third consecutive season, they won absolutely nothing. At one point in time, the team had a 8 point lead and I thought it would be their season. Yet, a few weeks later, they self destruct and lost games they should have won, rued chances a few yards from goal, let it goals that should have never been scored and made defensive errors (please sell Senderos) as if they were school boys. The loss against Man U more or less sealed their fate, and they should really question their policy on the transfer market. If they only they have a little more depth in strenght, they may very well be en route to the the Champion League semi and EPL title. Sigh, another sad season when everything started so well only to disappoint once again.

Mythbuster

I am so addicted to Mythbuster that I am neglecting all forms of work. It must be the engineer in me that prompt me to watch MB. Yesh... I am typing this as another episode is being buffered. Isn't it cool to do things you always want to do? At least for me, I always have the urge to test whether certain things are true but never did I find any time nor will to carry them out. I wouldn't mind getting paid to do such stuff.

Budapest! Easter travel 08

Long due photos of Budapest, an amazing beautiful city with amazing night view, nice people along the street and incredibly rude service staffs at entrance of most sightseeing spots. It has an wonderful transport system that does it job. Prices there are comparable to Singapore and at times cheaper.

Funny commercials
