Kenny Dalgish has signed a permanent deal with Liverpool FC! The King is back on his throne.  Long Live the King! An amazing turnaround to the season has happened, and everyone who loves the club is buzzing about because of Kenny and his merry men. Great credit to the new owners, Comolli, Ayre, Clarke, the staff and of course, the players who are playing some of the best football i've seen

It's done! Submitted the Hard-covered and bound copy last week to the department. Couldn't resist taking a picture of myself with my year's worth of effort! So what exactly did i do? I did a bibliometric analysis of the Service Industries Journal, with a period of study between 1993 and 2009. Firstly i conducted citation analysis and co-citation analysis, and then represented the results in

I wanted to come to Istanbul because my brother and sis-in-law had their honeymoon there and had great reviews for it. Still i consider it an adventure coz it's quite exotic destination isn't it? A rather scary train ride from Thessaloniki involved conductors knocking on our carriage door, asking for our passports, disappearing with it for an hr, then returning it to us! Turkey isn't exactly in

It has been more than a year since i returned to Singapore! Kinda gave up blogging about my European adventure.. but meeting up with the friends i made on exchange over the weekend gave me an extra push to blog on! After saying our goodbyes, we left Athens and arrived late at night in Thessaloniki. Thessa what(?) you might ask! This city might sound ulu (secluded) but it was actually a really

A friend of mine Valerie got married in 2008 and must have loved the whole experience of planning for the wedding!So much so that she started a business offering custom-make service for ala carte gowns at low prices ($400 onwards for gowns with trains) and budget packages. Bridesmaid dresses, tiaras, veils and wedding car decor is also available for rent/sale.There must be many brides out

So Liverpool has a new chairman!In the midst of this disappointing season, i would like to paint a picture of my ideal situation.This is how things are going to turn out =)1) The new chairman finds new investors within 1 month. This new investor is a passionate football fan from Singapore (!!). He believes strongly in the people he employs and insists on a hands off approach. Leaving the

It's been quite some time.. just felt i should take 10 mins to enjoy God's presence.. and to unload to Him..You know the dictionary defines Hallelujah as a song/shout of praise to God. It's like saying "Praise be to God!". Obviously God deserves to be praised right? For who He IS.. and what He has done.. and for what He has promised to do.It's just that there are times (like in the Psalms).. when

Thanks to unbelievably clear streaming, i was able to watch Liverpool crash out of the Carling Cup on Veetle. Why wasn't Starhub broadcasting the match anyway! Of course i'm never happy to see the team get knocked out, i'm not totally upset either. For those who didn't manage to catch the game, let me describe the many positives i saw.Liverpool changed most of the starting line up, with only Kuyt

Long long looooong break from blogging! Guess i needed a break after returning to Singapore. (not to mention the frustration of uploading photos with an unsually slow internet connection) But i intend to finish documenting my entire SEP experience on this blog.. before perhaps starting a new one.. =)I'll have to dig deep into my memory simply coz it's been 2 months since i returned!

Met up with the gang at Centric Point Hostel in Barcelona (really good location.. recommended!) I was allocated a separate room by myself coz i made a separate booking. But no prob.. coz i was staying with 3 nice Canadian girls haha..Went for Tapas dinner immediately..Centric point was just 1 block away from one of Gaudi's works..

This blog entry took me ages! The most difficult part was actually to choose a few from the many amazing pictures i want to share.. =)The Golden Pass, the train route between Lucerne and Interlaken in Switzerland is considered by many to be the most scenic of train routes. You'll see why!I spent the entire 3 hour train ride on my feet. I pulled down the windows and pointed the camera outside. I

Lucerne intro:Spelled Luzern in German, Lucerne is first and foremost considered a tourist attraction. It has about 60000 residents.. but i think i saw more tourists there than locals =) The city is located on the shore of Lake Lucerne and near Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi of the Swiss Alps.Our hotel was located just beside the train station, really convenient location =) Not to mention is was

Arrived from Zurich and spent the night at Bern Backpackers.. highly rated from Hostelworld =)Bern intro:Bern is the political capital of Switzerland. Even though it is only the 5th most populous city. The official language in Bern is German, though like the rest of Switzerland, people do speak a French as well. The bear is kinda like the symbol of Bern, and you can see bears everywhere.. haha..

The exams are over and the summer break is here =) We attended the annual BBQ of our guild (Prodeko) and had a nice relaxing afternoon. Glorious sunshine, free food and performances.. Nice!The trick is to hold an empty plate and keep an eye on the BBQ.. when u see something is almost done.. begin to creep nearer and nearer.. When it is done, helpful ladies will look around for anyone who wants

Trevor Corson has made several visits to Finland and writes about his firsthand experience of Finland’s definition of luxury. “Finland seemed even duller on my next visit in July. The weather was glorious, but Helsinki felt like a ghost town. I learned that most Finns take a five-week summer vacation, and that many of them disappear for the entire time to tiny, bare-bones cottages in the woods.

Martin Skrtel is Liverpol FC's tough-as-nails defender. His bald head, tattoos and ferocious tackling has earned him a reputation as Liverpool's no nonsense bad guy at the back. It is rumoured that he looks so fierce that fans don't dare to ask him for his autograph!Found a website that has Martin Skrtel jokes that are contributed by fans.. Had to censor the blaphemous, the crude and the vulgar..

On the 13th of April, 8.30 in the morning, a minibus came to pick us up. We arrived at the town of Oświęcim after a 45 min drive. I was really looking forward to this tour, but little did i expect what i saw and heard to be so heart wrenching.Auschwitz was established in 1940 by the Nazis and was originally intended for Polish political prisoners. It was built to terrorise and exteminate Poles.

We took a night train from Budapest to Krakow, the plan was to save on accommodation and also to arrive early in the morning so we don't waste day time travelling. But it turns out that there's no student discount for trains that travel between countries.This being my first time taking a real train (excluding the MRT or German high tech kind).. we didn't really know where to go, we didnt even

Welcome to Budapest! =)A brief intro of the city. Budapest is pronounced Bu-Da-Pesh-t, it is the capital city of Hungary. Located in Eastern Europe, it is a former Soviet state and is home to about 1.7 million people. Interestingly.. Budapest used to be made up of 2 different cities.. Buda and Pest! =) They are separated by a river.. and i happen to stay on the Pest side..We were quickly

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with

22They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). 23Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. 24And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. 25It was the third hour when they crucified him. 26The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. 27They crucified two

36Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." 37He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." 39Going a little farther, he fell with his

Easter is just round the corner! Christians around the world celebrate Easter.. celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.Now Jesus made many claims when he was on earth. He claimed to be the Son of God. He prophesied that He will be betrayed, crucified, and on the 3rd day He will rise from the dead. He also claimed to be the only way to heaven, the truth and the life. Pretty fanciful claims

My blogging plans have been disrupted. The last entry of my UK trip (the Liverpool one) has been postponed because something more urgent has cropped up.This blog entry is specially requested by Wei Sing.. hopefully i do a good job documenting our entire unpleasant experience in Copenhagen.Before i start.. let me just say that this blog entry contains strong emotive language..

I arrived in Liverpool on the 10th of March.. which was also the day that i've been dreaming about. Or rather, i have been dreaming about the night of the 10th.. so much so that i couldn't sleep the night before.Uncle Cogan came to pick Wei Sing and i from the coach station and brought us to his place.. What a lovely home.. nice and cosy! =) We rested for a couple of hours before going to the

Sorry for the long break.. i'm back from my trip and kinda busy with school.. but i'll be blogging diligently.. as often as i can!.. back to reminiscing about the UK....Did i mention i've fallen in love with Scotland? =) It's such a beautiful place, Wei Sing and i certainly have no regrets lengthening our stay.. especially since we had the opportunity to see the Scottish Highlands..We joined this

Edinburgh is incredibly pretty.. i realised that my pictures are really incapable of showing u all how pretty the place is.. seriously. =) Imagine coming out of the train station, being in the heart of the city.. and looking up and seeing a castle! The whole city centre is so compact and nice.. with charming architecture, surrounded by snow-capped hills. The only problem is the unpredictable

My favourite movie of all time is Braveheart. Now i know that the story is full of crap! haha.. The themes and characters are real.. but the story certainly is not.. I know better because i've been to the Wallace Monument! This is the real William Wallace =)The Wallace Monument is located in the small city of Stirling. It is sited here because this is the place where Wallace defeated the English

I was so glad to have arrived in Glasgow.. because the overnight Megabus ride sucked..It was so cramped that i could have died from either Deep Vein Thrombosis or suffocation..But the bad bus ride was quickly put aside once we checked into our Eurohostel.. We were in Scotland! The Glasgow that Chai Hwa loves so much and recommended =)The view from outside Eurohostel.. Blue skies oh yeahYou know

Looking back, i can safely say that my 10 day trip to the UK was probably the best trip i've ever had. Thanks Wei Sing for being such a wonderful spontaneous travel buddy =).. It's hard to capture all i've experienced in the subsequent blog entries.. but i shall try! I've decided to do it kinda chronologically again.. 1 entry per destination.. unless there's something especially significant that

I survived my first sitsit party!Sitsit is a traditional student sit down meal, where singing and drinking is the order of the day! I was told that usually, participants dress up formally.. but the one i attended last night was different that it was a Sitsit in overalls. We were allocated seats (alternate guy girl) and a couple of Emcees presided over the event. Their responsibility is to uphold

The fire alarm sounded in the middle of Management of Uncertainty class... and the lecturer was asking us whether we should ignore the alarm and continue..after deliberating on it for a while.. he decided.. and told us something like.."I think that taking the perspective of managing risks and uncertainty, the right thing to do would be to leave the building and come back when everything is over..

The sledding ended at about 4.. but we were only going to Gravitaatio (will explain later) at about 9.. so we had lots of time on our hands =)We decided not to travel to Otaniemi (by now i expect you guys to know that's where my school and apartment is) and back so as to save on transport.. so we decided to visit the Sibelius Monument.Finnish Info (FI):The Sibelius Monument is dedicated to

Finnish students do really ridiculous things.. but these things are usually crazily fun! Yesterday was Shrove Tuesday.. the day before the season of Lent.. 40 days before Easter..

I was just listening to some songs on my Itunes when i felt really moved by how many beautiful hymns and songs have been composed to declare love and praise and worship to God.. Truly even if i spend the rest of my life singing songs to Him it won't be enough!What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the Blood of Jesus..Jesus, the name above every name.. beautiful savior, awesome Lord, Your loving

We packed our things and said goodbye to Vasatokka to make our way to Saariselka, a ski resort area of some sort. I was really excited coz i have never done downhill skiing before.. but i was particularly psyched coz i have always wanted to ride a a dog sled. =)We arrived and immediately got into this hut where they gave us these huge and bulky overalls to wear.. and then we were whisked off in a

We were scheduled for a later slot.. so we could sleep in a little.. Then we gathered at the reception to gear up for Cross-Country Ski-ing! I had no idea was X-country ski-ing was about coz all i knew about ski-ing was the downhill kind..Basically X-country Ski-ing means going everywhere in skis instead of walking! Its a cool way of moving about in the winter you can go must faster than walking

The third day in Lapland we signed up for trip into Norway and to the Arctic Ocean.. It was a long bus ride but my goodness its the most scenic bus journey ever..Something i always knew.. that the things that are made by the hands of man may be beautiful.. but they can never be compared to those created by the all creative God. =)We stopped by at this place called Utjoski Village on our way to

Day 2 of the Lapland trip was a Lapland Survival Course! I was a quite excited about this even though the rest were probably not because of the Jungle Confidence Course i went through while in the army. Plus i'm a big fan of Bear Grylls on Man Vs Wild (Discovery Channel).. =)Introducing our instructors! Left to right: Kirsi, Esko, Mikka.Kirsi is an old lady who is super knowledgeable about Sami (

So my whirlwind trip to Germany was done, and i had to turn my attention to Lapland! Spent the afternoon doing laundry and packing.. before running for the bus to Helsinki...This trip to Lapland is all planned for us.. all we need to do is hop on the bus and it brings us to different places to do different things everyday. =) I've decided to blog about the trip day by day.

We got up really early to catch the 6.10 train because we wanted to be in Hamburg in time for the Sunday Fisch Market (yes i spelled it correctly). And of course i'll need my coffee in hand for a journey this early.. =) So here we go, to the 2nd largest city in Germany!We arrived at about 7.30 and after a little asking about, took the train to Landungsbrücken station, followed the crowd and

We took the 8.20 train from Bremen to Hanover.. only to realise that it was raining! What a contrast to the sunny Bremen we experienced the day before. But still it was interesting coz it Helsinki is so cold that it only snows and never rains.. =) But despite the rain.. Hanover is still a nice place.. and the coolest thing is this thing called The Red Thread.We found our way to the tourist info
