Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I do is to check my phone. The usual…Whatsapp, LINE, Facebook, etc. Social media has indeed made the world a little smaller; news reaches us a lot faster. Except, I really didn’t want to wake up to this piece of sad news. I wish it were some cruel joke or rumour…

alma mater returns
I got my first birthday present of 2014 in the form of watching Alma Mater return to her pedestal via the very cool Alma Cam. She was taken down in 2012 for restoration. After years of braving the rain and snow, she had obtained a shade of green. This was how she looked like when I graduated. I began checking…
mpms 2012
I can’t believe it’s already been one year since Most Promising Minority. It was and will always be a great memory. One year ago, I was sitting around in the library trying to figure out my statistics homework when I checked my email and got that surprise. I never thought a rather ordinary nobody like me would get it because…
pink party
Argh. I remember helping to vote for this and was very happy when our school won. Then, the disappointment came when I realised the party would only be this Fall. Dang.
remembering my professor
I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. To think that I heard of the news from a friend’s Facebook status. It truly sucks to be so far away… I know how people say 人老病死, death is a natural thing when you’re old, but I couldn’t believe that Prof. Goodman was gone. I never got to say goodbye before I left…
a week of self-discovery
Last week, I travelled to New York for AAF Most Promising Minority 2011. It was a 3-day award ceremony + professional seminars + recruitment fair. While many would say that they received valuable lessons about the advertising industry. I would say that this trip was one of self-discovery. On the last day of the program, a top executive from Leo…
my life is officially screwed
All the coffee I downed just to stay awake has gone to waste. My life is officially screwed by the stats exam. Almost panicked and blanked out. Told myself to calm down and think, but ran out of time to think logically. To think that I was half confident that it would go ok since I did one practice exam…
how far would we go to obey?
A few weeks back, we were talking about social influence in Social Psychology class. We touched on the topic of obedience where my TA talked about an experiment devised a long time ago by Milgram. It was an experiment where a volunteer was assigned the teacher role and the other person was assigned the learner role. The teacher and learner…
summer in chambana
The first week of Summer classes has ended. Each session is definitely longer than the usual, but they aren’t that bad. There may be some really dry stuff to go through, but overall it is quite ok. I would have preferred to take a statistics class and a psychology class instead of two psychology classes. That way, I could have…
singapore has come to chambana
After almost a week of being back home in hot and humid Singapore, I arrived back to an equally hot Chambana. No kidding, we’re having a heat wave here. The days can get up to 31 degrees celsius. Deary and I have been trying to survive on opened windows and a small fan. So far we have been successful despite…
