Aesop’s tale about citizenship

A commenter left this under The Temasek Review’s report on the school fee hike for PRs in order to hype up a sense of exclusivity of citizenship. I find this so apt. If you treat your own people badly, what makes you think that the new people you’ve attracted would think about coming under your [...]

Techcrunch says that my blog is being controlled by the Singapore government

From Techcrunch’s article about the fallen partnership between Fusion Garage, and themselves: We didn’t learn about this until last Summer because Singapore media, including blogs, are largely controlled by the government. Embarrassing stuff just isn’t reported. I’m a Singaporean, I blog. Therefore, my blog must largely be controlled by the government. Now, why the hell am I paying [...]

Adjusting back to work life

Going back to army produces this fundamental shift in your core being as to make you a less effective thinker. I mean, who else walks to the SAF e-mart, purchases some running shorts, queues up, pays for it, leaves the e-mart, goes to the canteen for teh-bing, and then goes back to the e-mart to [...]

Back to in-camp training… again!

It’s that time of the year, and I’m not referring to Christmas. That’s because it’s time to wear green and stop thinking again Ah… Wait, I’m in reservist, so why should I stop thinking? I can think about what food and games to bring in to play next week. Someone’s already bringing Saboteur, so what [...]

So… the money belongs to the government now, eh?

I’m upset at this letter in today’s forum pages: Ministry: MP Low wrong on lift upgrading I REFER to last Saturday’s letter by Member of Parliament for Hougang Low Thia Khiang, ‘No basis for MP not to announce lift upgrading’.

Close down blog?

I’ve been wondering if I should close down this blog. At first, I committed to writing a new post every day, if not about my life in the army, or my working life, or my schooling life; but I’ve been writing less frequently. Furthermore, this blog isn’t generating money at all, and the amount of benefit [...]

Really, really tired

Very, very worrying. I’ve been struggling to learn and use Microsoft’s Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) for a major re-write of our application for the hospital. There’s lots of new things to learn, weird behaviours to discover and work-around, and a self-imposed 5 Oct deadline to finish it. I wake up in the afternoon, and face the [...]

Just saying…

Prologue: Of course, I realise that publishing this on my blog, where people who know me may read, and connect the dots, or potential employers may read and make judgements on is not a wise thing to do, but the lesson I’ve learnt is too invaluable for me to just shove into the back of my [...]

About how much I know about compiling codes form source

Practically speaking, I’m just a script kiddie copying and pasting walk-throughs made by the kind people in the Open Source movement. I set-up this web server with the help of Google, and a liberal amount of experimentation (and lots of reformatting to get rid of all the odd-balls that pop up). So today, when I saw [...]
