Club, meet Epee

Shawn Tan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:49:36 +0000

I came out of a 2-hour meeting today, thoroughly exhausted. The reason being that I was doing the talking for most of the two hours non-stop. I was told to give a short half-hour presentation thing, the same one that I have been giving to a number of other groups. It usually involves me talking

GST Down

Shawn Tan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 01:22:55 +0000

According to the AP, our government has deferred the implementation of the 4% GST for the moment. I wonder if this is a further indicator that snap elections will be called within the year. By deferring the implementation of the GST, this potential campaign issue will be diffused somewhat. There is nothing specific for the

SPM Divas

Shawn Tan — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 01:59:04 +0000

I dread this time of the year, when our national secondary school exam results are released. According to TheStar, there are almost 8,000 straight A scorers for SPM this year. Now, I would like to congratulate all these top students but I hope they will stay away from public dramas in the newspapers. To avoid

Third Vote

I had just read this piece by RPK on local government elections. I have to say that I am in disagreement with him on several matters. I have some really strong views on this matter and I have mentioned it many times on this and the older blog. Finally, Pakatan Rakyat could not delay any longer.

Gramedia Bookstores

Shawn Tan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:53:33 +0000

I recently stumbled upon a new book-store near my place. It is called Gramedia Bookstores and they are already in my good books. I can rarely find my regular authors in our normal book-stores such as MPH, Times and Popular. Typically, I would have to get my fix of books from Kino and there is

New Blog

Shawn Tan — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:45:11 +0000

Just so you know, I decided to divorce my technology posts from this blog and move them onto another blog. I will keep this blog to personal postings on whatever random stuff amuses me from time to time. You may still find some technology posts on this blog from time to time but they will

Cost Cutting

Shawn Tan — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:55:25 +0000

I have just recently been informed that as part of the cost-cutting efforts at work, I will no longer be entitled to business cards. !!! Well, it is not that I have a great need for business cards. However, I do sometimes wonder how the management goes about selecting things to cut. A set of business cards

LEGO Robots

Shawn Tan — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 14:41:34 +0000

As the letter says, I have been recently appointed as a judge for our local LEGO robot competition league! It is something like the Integrated Design Project that we had at Cambridge, where students worked together to build a robot to accomplish a certain task within a certain time frame. However, these are students between
