Welcome

Welcome to our blog! Ling is a biology teacher teaching at an all-girls secondary school, and myself - CY - a Lecturer at Temasek Polytechnic - Temasek Informatics & IT School. The both of us have been together for a while, and were married in November 2006.

Our blog entries are largely centered around rants of living and working in Singapore, dining at foodcourts, and recipes when cooking at home. This web site has been around since early 1996, and I’ve been writing my reflections and muses here since that time. The site formally moved to the “blog” format in 2005, but suffered a catastrophic crash in March 2007. We lost several hundreds of our blog entries written over the years in that crash. And just over a year later again in May 2008 while trying to upgrade Wordpress, we lost about another hundred posts.:(

Still, what’s the more precious are our memories. So, we’re glad to have you visit our site to share with some of these. Do enjoy your stay here, and God bless!

    Hello Dr Foo! Is that you and your wife? Oh wow! You guys are so sweet! :D :D :D

    Anyway, I’m one of your students in lecture hall from IND. Haha! And you met me before. If you remember, there is once I called up to you saying that one of your bag compartment was upzipped. Haha!

    And you are really a good lecturer (: GAMBATTEH!

    Hi Michelle: yep, that’s a picture of my wife and me taken during our honeymoon.:)

    Ya I think I have an impression of a lass who told me that my notebook bag had been left open! Happened quite a few times liao. Getting older + more senile by the day.:(

    Oh, and congrats for having cleared all your subjects too. But only C++ for PRSP duh.:(

    Haha! Paiseh luh. ‘cos of my Alice assignment eh? The one with kidnap scene and a superhereo which is the mad scientist instead. Heh heh! I did quite badly for that. So, it pulled me down ): But I think I’ve done not bad for my JAVA? (:

    Eitherway, I will continue to strive harder for the next programming subject eh! At least a B+ to A? Haha! :D

  4. CY Says:

    Well, you weren’t in my lab class so I don’t quite have an impression of your Alice assignment.

    But based on your marks that I’m seeing from your school’s Exam System now, yep you did much better in Assignment II (Java). And very well done on that! All your PRSP lecturers will tell you that doing well in Java is a better indicator than Alice of how well you’ll do in your programming-oriented subjects later. So yes, you are on a good track to getting your first A next semester.:)
