Flu Flu Flu

I've been down with the flu all week, and it sucks. Trying to spend fewer hours at work and get more sleep so hopefully I can get better fast. Could it be the start of the bird flu pandemic that YW is always predicting? I've been eating a lot of chicken lately hmmmm.......

Anyway, I watched Singapore Dreaming twice. The second time was because my colleagues wanted to watch it during our program family day, so I just tagged along. The first half of the show has numerous snapshots of life in singapore that seemed a little out of place the first time. But this time around I got it. Basically the idea is to show how the rich and poor live in Singapore and to switch between the 2. Interesting....

In other news, I discovered the LS-DYNA forum on Yahoo groups. LS-DYNA@yahoogroups.com. Basically that's where around 6000 users and experts exchange ideas and answer questions, and they are rather prompt too! Just shows how excited people are about their work haha! Much more excited than our NTU professors who sometimes take over a month and still do not reply to my queries. Makes me wonder why I don't recommend that the funding we give them be cut right away. I also found out that some people refer to the research we do as High Fidelity Physics Based Finite Element Analysis. What a fancy name huh? The experts out there just call it hydrocodes. I guess a fancy name looks better on your CV.....
