Speed of Life

Wow, New Scientist has highlighted a new study from quirky pychologist Richard Wiseman, in which he measured people's walking speed on an uncrowded 18 metres long pavement.

New Scientist Short Sharp Science: Quickstep World is Walking Faster
Quirkology Pace of Life Project

Guess who is right at the top of the list? Nope, not New York, not Japan, not Taipei either. It's SINGAPORE!!!! We topped the list by taking an average of 10.55 seconds for the walk. Man, either a Singaporean flew across the pavement, skewing the results, or Singapore is on track for one of the athletic medals. Brisk walkers club, anyone?

Anyway, the methodology has not been publicised, but the finding says on average, people are walking 10% faster than 10 years ago.

Now, if only I can walk faster to catch that train I always missed in the morning.... grr.....

Weird dream

Had a very weird dream today about NUS having an epidemic outbreak. Went around hiding from people just in order not to get infected.... Very weird....

Malaysia trip!

I will be going to Malaysia till next Sunday! Whoopee!

First stop: Genting
Second stop: KL
Third stop: Not sure
Fourth stop: Penang

Happening right? Poor blokes have to tour Malaysia as graduation trips... Laughing out loud

Anyway, I'm resisting the urge to bring my laptop along. The geeky tendency of hugging a laptop everywhere one goes has seemingly subsumed me. Whahahahahahah.... I will resist!!!

Maybe I'll stave off my Internet Withdrawal by blogging about the trip at Internet cafes somewhere. See how it goes lah...

Clearing a mountain of backlog

Wah, 11 days away, and I have over 400 emails to clear... Read them until my eyes go Shocked

Then I found out I have several system maintenance to do, like updating this site, and the linuxNUS sites. Geez...

Hmm, my friends are inviting me to go camping on Thursday and Friday. Another group is planning a gathering on Friday night. NUS CIT is doing an IVLE testing on Thursday too. Arrgh!! Schedule conflict!!

Think I will only get to write the travel posts sometime tomorrow. If you are anxious to read about some part of it, EU is doing a writeup.

Edit: Updated the link. Thanks, EU! Smiling
