The bathroom water heater at my new place died yesterday. Burnt out literally. Fortunately it will be replaced in the next couple of days. In the meantime, it’s back to basics as far as taking baths are concerned: one bucket of hot water, to be mixed with the cold water directly from the tap.

On the way home tonight, had a close shave with a passing car. Well, maybe not THAT close…
On the one hand (perhaps in a rather perverted way?), I was kind of hoping to have the opportunity to recount one of those intriguing near-death experiences. However, and very fortunately, things did not pan out that way.
Had another amusing incident over the weekend which accentuated once again the “smallness” of Singapore.
For the past few days, I have been looking for a flat to move into rather urgently. As for why I needed to move after having <a href="”>moved recently, that is another long story…
Just had this flash of genius on the way to work. The thought came as I saw some students walking to the bus (the internal bus on the campus of NUS) stop. I was thinking to myself: most of the students, come exam time, will probably feel that they have the most insurmountable problems in the world, life is hell, etc.
But wait till they leave school, and enter the REAL world… 🙂
Read (this link will be no longer active once the offending materials have been removed) this morning that a certain Chinese website PConline.com.cn has been blatantly abusing copyright by copying verbatim (well, actually, the contents had been translated into Chinese) the review materials from Digital Photography Review, a site that I often go to learn about the latest in digital cameras. While I have been guilty from time to time of using copyrighted pics of movies or book covers, this is just too much!
