Singapore National Day - Happy Birthday Singapore!

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs

Hey Singapore, happy birthday! Thank’s for giving me a nice place to live, great transportation mode (except for those speeding bus drivers), great place to study (hail SMU!), and all!
May your nation be always prosperous and happy (well I bet they’re not really happy since you hike your GST up up up!). May you always [...]

Find Her

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs

Saw loads of these flyers on my way to anywhere. MRT stations.. Bus stops…
A girl, a student from Lasalle, had been missing since about a month ago.
Her friends and family set up a website : http://findfelicia.blogspot.com
I’m posting the notice of her missing case here. Hope you, my readers, somehow saw her somewhere in Singapore (or [...]

UNSW Asia Closing Down.. Why?

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs| something spotted

Full story here.
Somehow I’m not really surprised with the news. Maybe I’m heartless. Ha ha ha.
It says that it doesn’t fulfill the expectation of 300 students for the first year. They only got 148. And to make their dream ubercool building come true, they would need more fresh cash injection.
My friend said the reason [...]

I almost forgot….

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs

That today is Kartini Day! Geez. I’ve been away from Indonesia for too long? Thank’s Sandy for reminding me
Happy Kartini Day!
Okay, for the benefit of non-Indonesians, lemme talk more about Kartini day.
Who the hell is Kartini? And why is she sooo important that there’s a public holiday named after her?

About the Virginia Tech thingy……

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs| sylv.thinking();

I think this is too much.
Yes, I know the massacre is very horrible and sad. I know the killer is really disturbed and rather heartless.
But this is too much of exposure. What’s the point of publishing the plays he made, the fact that his writing assignment was really disturbing, and so on and so forth? [...]

Google is Scary….

Posted by: Sylvia Giacinta In: Current Affairs| Uncategorized| me| my geeky bits

I’m aware of the fact that Google stores cookies in my computer. Not only that, they keep track of my search history. They scan the e-mails I sent and received. All just to “display relevant ads” to me.
I can’t say much. I’m forever indebted to Google for their marvelous search engine and online AJAX applications [...]
