Eastern Flavours: Les Jardins de Singapour (The Gardens of Singapore)
http://easternflavours.blogspot.com/2009/06/les-jardins-de-singapour-gardens-of.html
Tuesday, June 2, 2009. Les Jardins de Singapour (The Gardens of Singapore). It is said that in French, everything sounds pretty, and hence the title. Singapore has all the essential qualities of the language itself. If you’re a person who likes flora, this island is a rare mix of equatorial beauty with modern infrastructure. At the botanic gardens itself. Another personal recommendation is the East Coast Park (ECP). The park stretches lengthwise over at least 4km if I recall well. As the name sug...This ...

Eastern Flavours: January 2009
http://easternflavours.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 27, 2009. Singapore loves food. Well dont we all? Not the way it is in Singapore. When I came here in 2005, one of the first things that I began to notice was the amount of food courts you can find here. You’ll be surprised to see the amount of options you can find here. Over the years, I’ve devised a theory that ‘if you’re in any resident/commercial vicinity, you are never more than a 500m away from one of these food heavens’. Impressive, eh?

Singapore Trails: Recognizing Excellence
http://singaporetrails.blogspot.com/2009/04/recognizing-excellence.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Did I ever tell you guys that I came here on a Scholarship? I think I did. In line with Singapore's tradition as a talent attraction hub, the Universities here make available an abundant array of scholarships, fellowships, tutorships and other forms of financial assistance to students. MOE Research Fellowship: The amount remains the same as that of NUS-RS but the funding agency differs. This is from the Ministry of Education. Earlier ASTAR (Agency for Science, Technology and Resea...

Singapore Trails
http://singaporetrails.blogspot.com/2009/04/by-now-you-know-me-well-enough-to-know.html
Tuesday, April 28, 2009. By now, you know me well enough to know that I am a foodie! I love trying out different kinds of food. And, what better place in the world for a gourmet than Singapore. As I once mentioned to you, Singapore is the country where east meets west. Here you can find both eastern and western culinary delights. Maybe I should tell you about my favourite dishes though. Kaya toast and Fish head curry, two Singaporean foods I simply love. Fish Head Curry: This is one of the mouth-watering...

Singapore Trails: Tough Stuff
http://singaporetrails.blogspot.com/2009/06/tough-stuff.html
Thursday, June 4, 2009. Wow, it has already been a month since my last post. My return wouldn’t sound nice without an explanation. It was really a tiring month. Loads of assignments, many term-end projects, last minute submissions, and above all of that, research and semester exams. Only God could have come to my rescue. Presentations and report writing will become a part and parcel of a grad student’s career. Hence I suggest that one equips himself with the required soft skills. A laptop w...In conclusi...

Singapore Trails: Fun with the Freshers
http://singaporetrails.blogspot.com/2009/04/fun-with-freshers.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2009. Fun with the Freshers. An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. Singapore’s education system teaches us to make a life and not a living! In my course we dedicate our time and efforts to several pursuits, some academic and several non academic. Check out my albums and videos on you tube. Do watch this space to know more. There's lots coming up! October 2, 2012 at 11:01 PM. Higher Edu...
