Connecting People and Technology with Design
Over the last five 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 [...]

The first week of the term is over, and it’s been the busiest first week I’ve ever had in my four semesters in school. Most of my time has been taken up by a single module, CS3216 (and quite expectedly so), and that’s mostly because it’s easily the only module I’ve been passionate about. I [...]
The new year began with the familiar feeling the previous one did, that of worry and anxiety involving selecting modules for the upcoming school term. Despite trying to plan for the semester beforehand, complications always arise during CORS bidding with exam date clashes and what not. Besides the study break and examination period, these two [...]

Apparently I’m involved a tradition where I post up my results at the end of every semester, whether to serve as a congratulatory or deprecative notice to myself of the passing of the school term, and this time round is no exception, although what it looks like is more of the latter. I would say [...]

It’s been a hundred days since I attended the IDA ELITe programme briefing at the end of July, and since then I’ve managed to secure a mentorship and internship with IDA, with the former beginning on January 1, 2010. The initial pace of this programme has generally been slow but comfortable, which I suppose is [...]

So the tribulations of the past week came in the form of four mid-term papers, all of which I profess I wasn’t adequately prepared for. The week prior to the last was the much fabled ‘recess week’, a mythical seven days of supposed rest. This was hardly the case, however, and I spent much of [...]
My application for the NUS Overseas College (NOC) programme for July 2010 has been the focus of my last four weeks, and so far I’ve been successfully through the first two stages. I’m currently waiting for the result of the Round Two interview, although I’m not really sure when it’s due to be released. I [...]

In light that I’ve been getting some traffic over the past few weeks from people googling ‘GEM2901′, I’ve decided to write this post which will hopefully benefit this particular audience who have been coming here only to find themselves disappointed with the lack of any relevant information.
As usual, the thoughts and opinions here are my [...]
It has been twenty-five days since my last paper, and today’s arguably the most important day within this period. It had been an unnerving wait at times during these past few weeks, but these results are something that I’ve worked so hard for for the last five months, and when today finally arrived I was [...]

And my exams are finally over. The first three papers were packed in a span of three days over the first weekend of the exam period, starting with GEM2901 Reporting Statistics in the Media. Admittedly, I hadn’t spend any time reading through this module’s lecture notes or tutorials in the prior twelve weeks before the [...]
