That time is NOW! September 14, 2012. Posted by Wilz in Astronomy. The “Pale Blue Dot” are probably the paragraphs of words which had the greatest impact on my life and creed, but last week, I found this:. And that’s why for me, the most astonishing wonder of the universe isn’t a star, or a planet, or a galaxy. It isn’t a thing at all. It’s an instant in time. And that time is NOW. 8211; Brian Cox, Wonders of the Universe (BBC 2012). From Carl Sagan’s Pale Blue Dot paragraphs to what we have today ...

Of scholarships and not getting one. | Earthwatcher
https://althras.wordpress.com/2011/05/27/of-scholarships-and-not-getting-one
Of scholarships and not getting one. May 27, 2011. Posted by Siew in Education. Much has been said about the allocation of scholarships from the Public Services Department recently. Somehow, a media storm has emerged from the unfair allocation of such scholarships. It is a somewhat curious thing to note that the all the hoo-ha is only starting now when the skewed nature of the allocation has been clear as day for many, many years. Someone important must have gotten passed over. There are countless cases ...

Mandarin misadventures | Earthwatcher
https://althras.wordpress.com/2011/12/15/mandarin-misadventures
December 15, 2011. Posted by Siew in Education. I recently took an indefinite break from my Mandarin classes. There is a good possibility that this break will turn into a complete stop to be honest. I am convinced that Mandarin is the hardest language in the world to learn, for 2 reasons. No comments yet — be the first. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Gaining a Perspective on Self Importance | Earthwatcher
https://althras.wordpress.com/2012/11/29/gaining-a-perspective-on-self-importance
Gaining a Perspective on Self Importance. November 29, 2012. Posted by Wilz in Personal. I was a moderator on a forum before. It was a community several times less mature than [this one], with significant numbers of mewling kids. The banhammer went up like about 6 or 7 times over contentious posts over the period of 2 years. (Many other times, but mostly for spammers or other problems we don’t have here – like posting pirated materials blah blah.). After one of the banhammer cases, the individual being b...

The Nikkor 18-200 VR F3.5 - 5.6. Well its a very good all-rounder lens. 11.1x Zoom (that's far! That starts from 18mm wide end. Alternatively, I can choose the Nikkor 70 - 300 VR F4.5 - 5.6.

Nighty's Sanctuary: 03/01/2008 - 04/01/2008

Monday, March 31, 2008. First of all, it was as crazy as it comes. But then again, crazy normally equates to fun! There were several cool cosplay outfits like commando chaos over here. His minigun actually spins! And the presence of a prominent seiryuu (Voice actor). Bleach's Kurosaki Ichigo, forgot the name of the seiryuu though). In fact, the event was so happening that in no time at all, our batteries are low and our memory cards are filled up. I used up 4G's, all in JPEG! Not even RAW files).

Naughty vs Nice: November 2010
http://naughtyvsnice.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 9 November 2010. Okay, so I had the weekend planned out. Was working 9-6 on deepavali, 6-11 on saturday and 6-9 on sunday/monday. Not too bad a plan. On saturday, i went back to my place after the call. reached home at about 11.15. Was happily chanting te saeculorum to myself, practising for Christ the King. My housemates were away, two in melaka and another in penang. Being home alone was never a problem here. But I found the padlock missing, and my grill unlocked. THEY WERE STILL IN THERE!
