Since my provisional acceptance into NCSV over a year ago, the much anticipated subsequent step in the NOC application process was the company interviews, and it’s something I’d been looking forward to this semester. The wait didn’t last longer than mid-October as that was the period of time the companies were scheduled to contact the [...]
The July 2010 batch bound for the NUS Overseas College programme in Silicon Valley left last Saturday morning, and although I was originally destined to be on that flight, I did not. I made the decision to delay my participation in this programme by a semester a few months back, and I’ve been meaning to [...]
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 [...]
[Note: This entry was written for the module, CS3216] The pitching session last Monday evening, in my mind, was prized to be one of the highlights of the module.

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 [...]
The third semester of my university term is just about over, and this has by far been the most challenging one of all. I look back with the regret that I did not manage my time better and of the wrong choices I made, but in this position now I know that the last four [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
