Saturday, May 31st, 2008The ASEAN Scholarship letter came in today for NUS. They offered to pay for my tuition fees and board and also throw in an allowance of SGD 4300 per annum.
The catch? 3 year bond with a Singapore company upon graduation. Yeah, I’ve heard of the argument. Job security in these bad times and all; nothing [...]
Michael Dell vs Steve Jobs
Thursday, May 29th, 2008In 1997, at the Gartner Symposium and ITxpo97, when asked what he would do if he were in charge of Apple, Michael Dell told a crowd of several thousand technology execs, “What would I do? I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” Read more here.
Fast forward to 2008, during an [...]
ELECTRIC PRAISE AND WORSHIP WITH HILLSONG UNITED!
Thursday, May 29th, 2008HILLSONG UNITED ROCKED AT GLAD TIDINGS PETALING JAYA!!!
BEYOND AWESOME! BEYOND EXHILARATING!
I couldn’t stop jumping up and down to every praise song that they played throughout the concert. It was simply magnificent. 3000 people were packed in a single hall praising and worshiping God. All the popular Hillsong United songs were played, both praise and worship, [...]
AMCHAM-MACEE Scholarship 2008
Wednesday, May 28th, 2008I just sent in my inch-think application to MACEE yesterday for this scholarship, which awards USD 20000 to one Malaysian every year through annual grants of USD 5000 for four years. And it is bond-free. A long shot and heavy competition, but I’m definitely crossing my fingers and praying for the best. They required, among [...]
Dancing before the Lord
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Yes, I feel really happy today! Turned on Hillsong United in my room and just had to dance to the Praise songs! (OMG OMG OMG Hillsong is coming to Malaysia this Wednesday and I’m going! I’m gonna jump till the hall shakes!)
Maybe it was because I went for choir practice today, and it was real [...]

Something made me ask this question. Also kindly state in the comments section how I can improve. You can comment anonymously and just blast me off with some examples.

Dream Catch Me by Newton Faulkner
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Dream Catch Me: Youtube video
Every time I close my eyes… it’s you
And I know now who I am
Yeah yeah yeah
And I know now
There’s a place I go when I’m alone
Do anything I want, be anyone I wanna be
But it is us I see
And I cannot believe I’m falling
That’s where I’m going, where are you going
Hold [...]
Update: WCIT & NUS
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008From Monday to Wednesday this week I was volunteering at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center for the World Congress of IT (WCIT ‘08) Business-2-Business meeting area coordinating meetings between foreign and local delegates. Sounds big deal, but there really wasn’t much to it. I was more like a waiter at a restaurant ushering people to [...]
Software, Music and Movie Piracy: A Christian Perspective
Saturday, May 17th, 2008This is a highly controversial topic, even among Christians. There are too many Christians out there who patronize Pirated CD stores and buying them in loads to watch with their family at home. I am one of them too. And then there are many Christians who use P2P programs such as Limewire to download music [...]
