Becoming 18: threshold of the real world

I turned 18 a good 8 days ago, and have done quite a bit of thinking over the past 8 days. I’ve settled down (quite significantly) to study; I have handed Refugees…

A taxi driver’s $8.40

Posted in Personal, Singapore on Sunday, August 12th, 2007 at 6:15 pm 3 Comments

This long weekend has a story of 2 taxi rides that taught me something about both:

1. Taxi ride from Eunos to nowhere

Ran late on Friday, and had to rush to a friend’s house for a party at 7. I flagged a cab along the road outside my house, and…

RIP Techstars

Posted in Personal on Sunday, August 5th, 2007 at 2:14 am No Comments


My 4 year old Adidas Techstars give way en-route to a 4th in the Triple Jump (10.93m). I eventually run a 11.83s in borrowed spikes to place 3rd in the 100m…

I’m pretty impressed with myself being able to lug myself over 100m without needing…

My viral email hunch

As it turns out, the visitors triple. However, I don’t think 1,600 visits a day will continue to be likely: I foresee a drop tomorrow, followed by further drops till the number stabilizes around 300 a day.

One of the assumptions I…

3.39am, 3 hrs 45 min after first publicity email is sent out:

For some perspective, the 240 hit leap I wrote about yesterday just got dwarfed by 600 visitors coming at an unearthly hour. Not sure whether there will be more tomorrow… but according to my…

Refugees SG: Thoughts thus far

Posted in Change The World on Wednesday, August 1st, 2007 at 9:50 pm No Comments

Refugees SG’s pilot project in TJC has been overwhelmingly successful, 277 page views on the first day, 167 the next, and there are already 122+ the last I checked today. That’s probably because the TJC population is just that big, and you have certain limits to how many…

Refugees SG (Update 3)

So far the pilot project has been rather successful- so far, Rishik, Rennald and Co. have got about 100+ petition signatures on paper in TJC alone, with many more coming online.

Refugees SG is on STOMP’s Talkback and other forums as well.

First exhibition in TJC:


Performance in front…
