That was also the year where an NUS float participates in Chingay, Singapore’s Grandest Float Parade during the Chinese New Year Celebration! But it was not Eusoff who went… As history dictates, the following year Eusoff Hall went back empty handed [...]

What have I learned from CS3216?

First of all, I would like to say this “Unless you’re willing to sacrifice your FYP, please do not take CS3216 (or any Prof. Ben’s module) during your last semester (FYP due semester). Although it’s quite fun to take Prof. Ben’s words literally “Grades are not important”, I think the more appropriate phrase should be [...]

Dialogue with *REAL* Entrepreneurs

the spirit of cockroaches – they do not die!

If you were to ask me to summarize the whole session, I’ll say “money”. Apparently other than Tong Yee who’s really out there to try to change the education system, the rest are entrepreneurs whose sole purpose of creating a business is to EARN MONEY! Ash says that “Sales [...]

IT Architect – Lai Zit Seng : Provisioning for a Million Eyeball walah… this is the most technical lecture ever… totally lost. I think the jargons are the culprit. Database locking? mod_perl? CGI?
