The Endless Possibilities

26 05 2008

Decided to harness the power of Google Maps in my quest to select universities to go on exchange. I realize (a little late) that I can’t think in abstract; I need to jot down things, draw diagrams, plot stuff on a map, before I can really start planning or visualizing anything. Weak.

Came up with a rather decent map covering Frankfurt, Madrid, Milan and Prague.

Shall be narrowed down in the coming weeks!

Check out Jerry’s SMU-Europe Exchange Schools Map! (don’t you love these drag and scroll thingies):

A Short Period

12 05 2008

How coincidental.

It was pouring, for exactly one hour, on the lunch break, on a day I decided to eat in the office.

Can see the mist the at horizon from where I sit. She’s even further from me than that.





Morning Express: Childhood

9 05 2008

We both agreed, MX is really the best shit and our collective mornings would have been alot worse if not for Glenn Ong and F.D.

They were just chatting about someone who smsed in to ask them what’s their favourite breakfast. Yes, they are just trying to food-talk because of the Citibank’s Gourmet Pleasures promotion but it is still an interesting topic. Well, Glenn said 2 Big Breakfasts (when asked what else he would like to go with that, he said a third one) and F.D’s answer was essentially an English breakfast with Rice Crispies because Rice Crispies reminds him of childhood. Glenn also went on to say he likes soft-boiled eggs with pepper, soy sauce and BUTTER. Who puts butter! Apparently that was the way his mum made it and it grew on him.

I found it very interesting that there they are, two grown men who have travelled the world and eaten just about whatever there is to eat in Singapore, but what influences their choice is their childhood. I’m assuming Glenn grew up on MacBreakfasts of course.

Mums out there, be really careful what you feed your kids.





Cyber Flirting

8 05 2008

Okay WordPress got off a bad start. Typed my first entry, and it hanged on me at the photo upload page. I guess I’ve got to keep pressing Save in between editing. (Edit: there seems to be some problems inserting pictures too, I kept saving but the picture below didn’t show up.)

I was saying, a blog requires emotional investment. So its not that easy to walk away from one you had for the longest time to set up somewhere new and flashier. Multiply.com served me well the past few years, but several of its features have since been taken over (in my life) by Facebook eg. photo uploading, contact list. And now Multiply’s just an online journal for me, with features that could be improved, eg. no free customizable sidebar.

And it doesn’t help that the default WordPress font is so pretty.

So I guess for now I’ll flirt around somemore before deciding whether I will give my heart to someone new.

 

I'd ditch Multiply straightaway if WordPress is as hawt as this.
