Well, no wonder I can’t make sense of much of the academic articles out there! :P

The Grad Student's Soliloquy
Now that was an ingenious parody of the famous soliloquy from Hamlet. If you’re not familiar with the original, look no further! The original soliloquy from Shakespeare’s Hamlet: To be, or not to be–that is the question: Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune Or to take […]
Newton's 3 Laws of Graduation
Brilliantly funny and painfully true! Source: PhD Comics.
So True! :P
I discovered a graduate student comic strip called PhD – Piled Higher & Deeper. And I couldn’t help laughing… Graduate student life is certainly a world of its own… the challenges, the stress… all of which can only be fully understood by other graduate students. I’m one of the very lucky ones already, since I […]

Zibin & I at Buttermilk Falls Go ahead. Laugh. We’re rolling on the floor right along with you! We took a rapid succession of action shots in this series which I hope to make into a GIF file eventually. Snow was falling. Us in half a dozen such crazy positions. It would make a really […]
Roommate Follies
When Serena was here, she made an observation to me that Ting & Mel really seemed to inject life into OPL, and of course she’s right. All that girlish banter…sometimes serious, often nonsensical… Heard today coming from the foyer and kitchen respectively of OPL1204, to the tune of Beethoven 5th’s distinctive motif: “Ann ann ann […]
Cornell's Banana Halloween
On Halloween, Zibin told me a funny story about how a giant banana came into one of his lectures, and how a gorilla came and chased it out of the lecture. Guess what? The pranksters put it on YouTube (what isn’t on YouTube nowadays?!). It’s too long a clip I think, but still, I’m thinking […]
Agony!
After all that talk about how I like Into The Woods and Agony in particular, I can finally show it to you! There are quite a few versions on YouTube. This one’s from the DVD recording of the original cast, with Robert Westenberg as Cinderella’s Prince and Chuck Wagner as Rapunzel’s Prince. It was a […]
A Wicked SMS Duel
I knew it as soon as the SMS came through. That a game’s afoot! Oh it’s been so long since I’ve done this… the rush was fantastic! It just so happens I was listening to the Wicked soundtrack, and my phone buzzed. Kenneth (Li): This is terrible… I’ve been trying to study for some time […]
Spilt (Soya Bean) Milk
It’s late, and as usual, I was feeling a little hungry. So I decided to get a cup of warm soya bean milk. Zibin decided to be a copy-cat and asked for a cup too. Then, he actually challenged me to a duel (by poking me), thinking I wouldn’t retaliate because he was holding a […]
