I went ice skating today! So ice skating isn't really that different from in-line skating. The basic moves are the same I guess, xcept that its a lot more slippery, and nobody wears guards so expect to get some bruises.... Oh and its really wet when you fall! It's like falling into a puddle of water! I've nvr had so much fun going round and round in a circle hahaha!
After skating we checked out Yann Arthus Bertrand's photographic art pieces along orchard road. Strangely enough, we noticed that some of the most colourful pictures were those of polluted waters. The world is probably better of with less colour sometimes!!

Where's My Economist?
It's Friday. Okay, not any more. My "Economist" didn't come today! I am actually having withdrawal symptoms. Can't sleep. Can't get myself to read anything else. Can't trust the regular papers....
Oh, F has finally subscribed to the "Economist"!!! Finally one more person has seen the light! As they say, Fiat Lux, let there be light (and there was light....)! That was a great dinner we had tonight F. Feels great to know I have a true friend. The food was great, but the company better!
It's 3am and I'm real tired. But I still can't sleep. I'm not sure if its the lack of my favorite periodical or the latte at 9pm. Or a combination of both for that matter.... Today was an eventful day, but tomorrow will be a more eventful one. I'll be going ice skating, followed by checking out some art installation on orchard road which everyone says is good stuff. I have only ice skated once, a long time ago. I wonder if its anything like inline skating with less friction? If it is, hell yeah, I'm gonna love it every bit!
In the papers some ppl were lamenting bout the closure of local ice skating rinks, with Fuji being the last one alive. They are trying to find investors to set up rinks so that they can organise skating courses. Take a look at the successful ice skating rinks in California and what do you see? Ice Hockey! With the growth of international schools here and more Ang Moh style education, ice hockey is the only way an ice skating rink can survive and remain profitable. and spectator ice hockey that is. One skating rink for each international school home team! I pick ACS (International) for the championship! Already some Ang Mohs play ice hockey at JEC. Now we need to expand it into a proper league. And if the local sports school and sports powerhouses such as ACS, RI, SJI, Saints etc wanna join in, that'd be even better!

I had the most interesting conversation with the most interesting person today. And after work I had more interesting conversations with my former JC classmates! Can we ever do without interesting conversations? ;)

Cal Cafe
After a long weekend of clubbing and weddings, I finally turned on my computer and discovered Cal Cafe (calcafe.berkeley.edu). This is the ultimate "friendster" for all Cal Alumni! I've practically spent the entire holiday creating groups on this website. So far I've got:
Cal Singapore
Chi Epsilon
Tau Beta Pi
ASCE
Cal Football
Californians
Concrete Canoe
If you are a Cal Alumni and belong to one of these categories, now's the time to add yourself to the list!
