Photography exhibition at the Esplanade's Singapore Art Cafe   The blog front's been a bit quiet lately because I'm working on three research projects simultaneously, not to mention my thesis (hurhur), so time's a little bit scarce here.It's all good though - and made even better because of the insane number of new people I'm meeting, like Jon, who owns the Singapore Arts Cafe, and who is allowing me to exhibit some photos there for a glorious, heavenly two weeks! So if you're free, do pop by the Esplanade between 1-14th October at the Esplanade's 3rd floor, Singapore Art Cafe, which is located in the library@esplanade. Am I excited? You betcha. (ETA - this post is post-dated till 14th Oct, so my newer entries will appear below this post until the 14th.) ETA II - so those are my completed photos with their mounts on my (lime green) bed. I'm happy with how the mounts look, although some of the photo printing disappointed me. Ah well, we live and we learn.

 Although I'd say that my birthday parties are far from being "legendary", I'd like to think that I throw a pretty good one for the crusade gang every July.If you squint really, really hard, you'll see my 2005 list of people :) I was throwing out this notebook, but wanted to keep some form of record of this for posterity's sake.

I'm sorry, there is an elephant in the way I've probably put some of these up before, but hey, you can never hear a really good joke too many times...         Click on it to read it at a higher resolution.  I like people with a sense of humour. This is very true in a disturbing way.So much for "Save the Polar Bears"...  This sign is truly evil.And probably fake. Libellés : humour, photography [I'm sorry, there is an elephant in the way] |

 Sometimes sunsets just surprise you. Not that they've not got a history of superlatives like "gorgeous" and "beautiful", but sometimes they creep up on you and yell BOO! And you're all pleasantly surprised by the cloud behind the silver lining of driving to school on a Thursday night for lessons. Libellés : photography [Silver Linings] |

How to use up nearly-expired baking chocolate ... by making chocolate chip cookies.  .jpg) LEFT: Why does No Frills sell flour in such a weird grammage? 454g. Who bakes ANYTHING with 454g? RIGHT: The whole container was initially full of sugar. And now it's empty. Cookies are just made of pure sugar. It's scary. .jpg)  LEFT: ALL the chocolate chips were gone once I was done with my baking. RIGHT: The mix is four eggs, some vanilla essence, and A WHOLE LOAD OF SUGAR. .jpg) .jpg) LEFT: Adding the flour took forever, and I thought my arms never got such a good workout RIGHT: The finished product that had to be baked. Yum yum. Double chocolate chip cookie dough. Not made with any more love than what's inside "darn, I have to use the chocolate before it expires!" But still, yum yum.

mercredi, octobre 03, 2007 The Sengkang Lament (aka It's Tough to Live in Sengkang) This song is dedicated to Mich. For various reasons. Main one being that she DOES stay in Sengkang. :)The Sengkang Lament (aka It's Tough to Live in Sengkang) V1: I'm just a guy who got a flat While driving on the TPE Didn't mean to bust my daddy's ride; Now relegated to the MRT V2: I'm just a girl who got a flat Right beside the TPE The constant traffic drives me mad Don't Singaporeans ever sleep? V3: I'm just a kid who fell down flat Trying to see the TPE Climbed up my window grilles but slipped Nearest hospital's far: Changi! Bridge: No swimming pool, no famous food No multi-cineplex No top-10 school, no sports complex Just strange names on my map [The Sengkang Lament (aka It's Tough to Live in Sengkang)] |
lundi, octobre 01, 2007 Good Riddance: A Reminder for University Ethics  I guess that sums up my postgrad experience in a nutshell. There's really not much else to say, what with the professor resigning in before the scandal could even erupt. There are some things which professors should not be allowed to do, and one of them is to unfairly exploit the power-imbalance between teacher-student to their advantage. Universities should also clearly state the OOB markers - this is not something which is an ethically ambivalent issue; it's as distinct as night and day. Although the university has no right to interfere in what occurs behind closed doors, there should be a clear articulated policy with regard to improper student-teacher relationships. It is precisely because there was no earlier sanction on this guy, did he grow bolder and bolder, even as he put on his moralist, hyper-ethical front. If there's a clear sense that instructors are taking advantage of the lack of articulated policy, shouldn't someone be looking into putting some semblance of one down on paper?
