An update on future blog updates

I will be updating this blog much less frequently for the next year ,as I will be preparing for my Chinese customary wedding and dinner banquet, which is scheduled for December 2010. For long time readers, you should already know that I’ve been legally married more than two years ago, but my wife and I have [ READ MORE ]

Just when I thought I was done ranting about ST

I ranted about Straits Times a couple of days ago over the quality of their content, and today I just had to see something to make me rant again. This time, it’s not even about quality of content; it’s about their atrocious quality of writing and editing. Bad content, bad writing and editing. Can our [ READ MORE ]

The meaning of death

I’m supposed to be working hard on my Masters thesis, but for the past week, I’ve been spending some time pondering the meaning of death because my wife’s co-supervisor at MIT, Professor David Schauer, suddenly passed away. I’ve not had the chance to know him very well, but the few times I’ve met him and talked [ READ MORE ]

The way forward

This blog has not been updated for a while, and I don’t know if I’ll continue to update it with the intensity of the past. It’s a combination of factors for the lack of updates but generally, I guess the fire in the belly has fizzled considerably, perhaps due to age, work, married life, new [ READ MORE ]

The best Jobs Credit analysis

The Kway Teow Man has posted, in my opinion, the best analysis of the Jobs Credit scheme. He is all for Jobs Credit (as I am), and he explains in a very easy to understand way why Jobs Credit is a viable scheme. It’s something extremely worth reading, although it is insanely long. If you have [ READ MORE ]

Some of you might know that Brands, most famous for their chicken essence, organised a Singapore-Malaysia blogger challenge today, the first of its kind (or [ READ MORE ]

Albert Einstein’s thoughts on society

Albert Einstein is famous for being a physicist but it seems that he has plenty to say outside of physics. He has many interesting thoughts on society and here are some quotes taken from his book, “The World As I See It” (1949), which I think is worth pondering. Two quotes on political systems: “My political ideal [ READ MORE ]

Survey Participants Needed

No, I am not doing a survey but rather, someone contacted me and requested help in getting survey participants. If you are kind enough to assist, please help her out. The details of the survey are as follows: A NTU Masters student is conducting an Internet survey on “Internet Users’ Perceptions of Socio-Political Blog Credibility in [ READ MORE ]

GIC’s injection into UBS just vapourised

I just saw a piece of interesting news. Reuters just carried a story that UBS has reported a first quarter loss of 12 billion Swiss francs and are seeking fresh capital injections through a rights issue. Almost four months ago, GIC made news for injecting 11 billion Swiss francs into UBS, giving GIC a stake of almost [ READ MORE ]

Support Obama!

I’ve not updated in a while because of the usual end of semester madness. I’m unlikely to do much of an update in the next month and a half. There are a number of things I want to write about but I just have to KIV them for the time being. I was asked by the [ READ MORE ]
