Connecting people and technology with design.
These last few months have been tremendously busy for me, mostly with the workload of school projects and assignments, but it’s been largely enjoyable which is probably why it seems to have passed so quickly. I haven’t neglected writing, although most of my blogging juice has been spent on writing for a blog for one [...]

Having the chance to develop and deploy a Google Wave gadget as part of a school assignment is something I’d never thought I’ll write about. I begun using Wave pretty much since it was available, but not to the extent that my daily workflow was dependent on it. It has been really convenient to discuss [...]

Over the last four weeks, a significant amount of my time has been spent on developing Facebook applications. While it hasn’t been a stroll in the park by any means, it has been slightly easier than I had anticipated. Granted, there were occasional obstacles and roadblocks that got in the way, and the usual suspects [...]

It’s been just over a hundred days since sgBEAT launched into public Beta, and over this time we’ve witnessed a substantial growth of our user base. I’m personally delighted that so many Singaporeans have found the service useful, as this has always been my motivation working on this project.
While watching this increase in users has [...]
It seems that my passion for building and designing sites has been reinvigorated since the launch of sgBEAT, and over this last month or so I’ve been actively redesigning a few of my own sites, mostly for fun. I designed a couple more too, so I’ll be talking about them here as well.

So about two weeks ago, a friend of mine called me up with a question which was something along the lines of “Hey, I had an idea to start a tuition matching service for NUS students. Do you think it’s a good idea?”. After a brief discussion I told him I felt it was a [...]

I had been working with my brothers on sgBEAT these past few months, and I had avoided writing about it because we hadn’t gone into public Beta yet.
sgBEAT is essentially a microblogging platform specifically dedicated to Singaporeans, where users can share updates of their lives via the Web or SMS. Another aim of our [...]

Another fortnight has flown by and since my last post, I’ve gone through another two tests, namely my CS1102 Data Structures and Algorithms Practical Exam and the second mid-term test for CS2100 Computer Organisation. I received the results for the latter just a day after I took it, and this is the mentioned not-so-good news [...]

March has been a tiring month for me, and this week finally saw the submission of my MNO1001 Management and Organisation video project and report. I estimate that nearly 30 to 40 hours of effort have been put in by me alone, including five late nights in school where I stayed back until 11PM (which [...]

I’ve been really busy these last two weeks to say the least, but just thought I’d post something here since it’s the weekend anyway. I don’t have really much to write about, though, so I’ll just let you in on the happenings of this past fortnight.
The first week was more or less spent on [...]
