Oct-Nov bullets

-Another round around the Sun to be added to the total tally. Goes w/o saying, it was quick, very quick, guess the quickest yet.

- Rodo Mile's dear wife gave birth to their 1st child today at 6am CET. My niece Petra was born on a very lucky day :) - Zivila...!

-I moved to the apartment next door. The new guys are great and all.. We have swimming, bBall in common amongst many other things, but I still like the have my own privacy, my own mess, my own choice... guess I'm too old for all that flatmate thing...

- As there is 8 new IF around, there's always choice of doing something w/ someone... : e.g. throwing a party across two 3-bedroom apartments and the level 8 lift lobby that is in between them:


or travelling: Cycling trip at Pulao Bin, a small island of Singapore's east coast:


- I completed my 1st semester at NUS, albeit just as an outsider sitting in at the Sociological Theory and Social Reality .

- The competition at NTU, I took the students for was really good. On one side we were lucky at time, on the other quite unlucky at the last round to finish 4th overall out of 12 schools in our division: 1% point difference behind the 3rd place, and 5% behind the 2nd. So close yet so far away... On the bright side we had fun preparing for it.

- I'm getting more and more into running. Went for another 10km run where we as a corporate team (NP) finished 3rd. This got us a $50 reward each. The run was huge w/ some 10000 participants. My time was 1h. In the another event, we as the School of ICT won the Poly's inter-department relay.

- ...and we came 4th at Poly's inter-department dragon boat race:


- Last Saturday (the 17th), I spent more then half an hour looking for my phone. I found it at the bottom of the washing machine. It was playing submarine. After blow drying it, the SIM card was the only thing that survived. Unfortunately, all my contact info was saved in the phone memory - all lost. The phone has picked the nice smell of the softener :)
