The Truth About Hostel Life
I live in a country that’s 42 kilometres (26 miles) across. When I’m in a Bangladeshi village or a Meghalaya hilltribe and have to ‘explain’ my country to someone that’s what I tell them: my country is 42 kilometres from the easternmost to the westernmost; that always makes everyone laugh and I try to tell [...]
Wanderlust Linking
Having very little to contribute to the world wide web of late (I am writing so much and so furiously that by the time I get online, there’s little else I want to say), I will now turn your attention to a few deserving websites. Now that I’m stuck at home in Singapore for months [...]
Gates vs Jobs
I had so much fun watching this, and since you read this site, you probably will too!
Birth Control
That was “A Technical Guide to Birth Control”, part of Suzanne Franks’ piece for Inkling Magazine. While you’re at the site, remember to take part in the Shes’ Such A Geek photo contest, deadline 28 Feb. I know I will.
On The New Year
贺新年，祝新年，新年到，过新年。。新年歌把我祝贺到头好痛啊。 虽然从来不爱过新年，2007 是我第一次在家门外自己独立生活。一分自由，三分难熬，时时刻刻都想家。能在家和亲爱的家人度过这节日把这新年成为实在最好的一个。能跟家人一块儿过春节的时光算不多了。。过了明年，人在美国，或印度，自己也不太清楚。 祝大家新年快乐，希望你们全都梦想成真。
Finally, the 15th
Which means just a few things: Valentine’s Day is over, the Chinese New Year break is coming up, Week 8 is coming (my one week uni break), and I have a boatload of writing to finish this week (not even counting school work yet), so posting here might be scarce. I don’t appreciate flowers, and I [...]
Hi, I’m a Maclinux
via Digg What does that make me? Sloppy Mac kid dressed with Tron underpants. (I was so bored by International Economics that I tried to blend the Mac + Linux guy with a photo of myself, but the results were too hideous I hit Cmd+Q immediately) Very much married to OS X, but can’t help having affairs on [...]
Chasing the Monsoon
Ask me again a year, three, or five from now and all I will remember is driving up, around, up, around, up, around, in the swirling clouds as the rain lashed at my windows and I feared for my life, balanced so daintily in this tin can navigating itself on the hairpin road. This being [...]
On to better things in life
Looks like the last post really struck a chord, but that’ll be the last time I talk about the school (and my place within the education system). I’d told myself from the first year that I was going to try to be positive about it; tried very hard I did. I still think I ought [...]
Dear SMU
I’ve been in this institution three years now — it was a decision I chose of my own accord, instead of going away, instead of going to law school, instead of everything I saw for myself — I chose you. You’ve been alright to me, and so far my highest praise is: I’d rather be [...]
