NHG Event – Eragon Movie Screening

Recently, J. had the good fortune to score a couple of free tickets from S to watch Eragon. Initially, he obtained one ticket but at the behest of a friend, changed that number to two, only to find that said friend had changed said friend’s mine, so he passed the extra ticket to another friend.

Nutrition – A Neglected but Important Course

Doctors in Singapore still have a lot of clout where patients are concerned, in that their opinions are respected more so than say… nurses.

After a morning workout, there is no better way to start the day proper than with a traditional breakfast, with its potent combination of protein and caffeine.
So it was that I trudged down from the Bishan gym to Junction 8 with the intent of visiting the Ya Kun Kaya Toast located at Basement 1. The [...]

Ubuntu 6.10 (Part 3) – Setting Up

Note: This is nowhere near a guide. This is now me ranting at my pathetic ungeekiness that has rendered me unable to create a lean mean Ubuntu machine out of an 3-year-old slothful Windows XP laptop.

Ubuntu 6.10 (Part 2) – Installation
