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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

It’s the end of the recess week already, and I find myself entrenched in a backlog of self-revision. A common pattern has emerged this semester with respect to my homework management, and it’s not so much the fault of procrastination as it is the waning interest that I have in my modules. I guess my [...]

I found some time over the last week to rebuild WebsiteDB, my first PHP/MySQL project. The original site was very simple and quite poorly coded in my opinion, so I decided to redevelop it and include additional features in the process, such as account creation (for anyone remotely interested in using it) and also a [...]
