$1,000 for oversized shoes

Thursday, March 31st, 2005

Headed off to NUS for lunch yesterday with Prof Lim Sun Sun (no affiliation to the other ’sun’ from city harvest) and Prof Hichang Cho. We ended up at the Guild House which seems to be the lunch venue of choice for the varsity’s academic staff. Food wasn’t mind-blowing, but sure beats the stifling heat […]

Link-flood me, puhleease?

The sites could be local, foreign, youth organisations, or even blogs… as long as it focuses on young people (as opposed to say, something like “the study of osteoporosis in south american fireants”). if the site has a singaporean slant to it, […]

ygnite@Borders

Sunday, March 27th, 2005

Met up with the Grace, Mak & Lionel from ygnite yesterday.
Among the topics we discussed: possible ways for collaboration, why-you-shouldn’t-pick-up-stuff-from-mrt-tracks, elusive badminton courts, and William Hung.
They’re a pretty cool bunch with a website that’s just as cool. If you’re organising an event in Singapore with a focus on young people, get some free publicity […]
