Cycling to school

without comments

Now that I’m back at work after my short break, one of the things I will miss is my morning cycling ritual.

L-A’s school is quite near home and within range of my limited cycling abilities, so every school day morning, I would strap her into her little seat and we’ll then enjoy a short bicycle ride to her school.

Guess these moments will be one of those memories I will recall fondly later in life. Wonder if she will remember as well?

Sounds like Harry Potter…

without comments

You know, Harry Potter’s world had to deal with “He who cannot be named,” but now an entire muggle village has to deal with “name that cannot be typed!”

I tried to find out which “Shan” was the problem world but apparently no one could type it out on blogs… ;)

New speedy striker for Man U?

without comments

Might be great to have the current World’s Fastest Man zipping down the flanks for Manchester United, but will he be able to last the season if people continually hack at him to slow him down? Look at Michael Owen…

without comments

If you’re interested to find out more about the NS Award that was referred to during the National Day Rally, some details have already been provided by Mindef.

I suppose its not retroactive and those who have already served beyond the milestone markers will get less?

Are You Earning More Than Median Pay?

without comments

This link on IM$avvy gives a quick summary of the median wages grouped by age. Just by quick peek will let you know if you are among the top 50% of your age group or not…

If you get dismayed after checking, do note that if you are in the lower bound of the age group, you still have time on your side. However, if you are on the upper bound of the age group, then it might be due to being the “wrong” industry
