prof's mouldy wall

probably because of water seepage. the people came to repaint it but trust me, it wont do no good because the leak will just come throught he paint in time. what the wall needs is a layer of waterproofing under the paint so the moisture in the wall cant get out.

invitrogen's organizers

comes in three colours, two of them matt and the other two glossy.
the maroon one for prof
the shiny shocking red one for Dragon boy
the shiny black one for Terror




The silver one for me!!

student kindness movement.

what a joke:

Dear Students

Background

If we look around us, we will find many examples of the kind and compassionate side of Singaporeans. In times of crisis, we have shown that we care for others and will do our best to help those in need, as many ordinary citizens did when the Indian Ocean Tsunami hit our neighbours in 2004. Within Singapore, there are many simple acts of kindness performed by ordinary people, which often go unnoticed. It may be a person sharing his umbrella with a stranger, a bus driver greeting his passengers, or someone at work cheering up a colleague who is feeling down. Such kind acts require no extraordinary effort. But they do require us to feel for our friends, classmates, and fellow citizens, to think how we can be helpful, and to make that small gesture that shows that we have noticed them, and that we care for them. They may catch a person at the exact moment he needs some encouragement and leave a lasting impression.

But we can still do much better. The media picks up stories about the ugly side of Singaporeans from time to time, and all too frequently, we come across instances of inconsiderate behaviour. In buses and trains, those who are seated sometimes forget about the elderly or pregnant lady standing next to them. In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we may forget to say thank you or please. In our shyness, we sometimes hold back from greeting our neighbours. As a society, we do not always practise these simple courtesies as standards of good social behaviour.

An article on Straits Times Online in July 2007 touched on the lack of social graciousness among Singaporeans. The writer explained that there was for need for Singaporeans to improve our social etiquette.
