1) Songgechan's blog is up again, with a very neat layout.
2) ae2004's blog had a new skin today, but it seems to turn nuts now.

Few minutes ago, I received a surprise phone call from one of the BS juniors. In fact, he is a freshman from engineering, and I thought its quite interesting that I can still link up with the current yr1s when I am already out from NUS. Thats v nice of him to call up for a chat, and I really very seldom chat on phones.

This jnr told me he is getting quite bored in the hols, and as he had ever heard me talking abt spending time meaningfully while as a student, he asked me wat are the activities he can participate in. Well well..... I told him to grab a C programming book, download a C program and start playing around with it at home :)

And back to the topic on phone calls, I was in NTU few days ago as I started scrolling my handphone contact list. I came across 2 names, whom I used to call and sms very often when i was in the army, but havent contacted for at least 2-3 yrs. One of them is my 'brother' who often tagged along with me in the camp. The other was my 'designated' driver, who would often drive me around to dispatch documents all around singapore army camps, or to fetch recruits to my unit.

Having not contacted them for at least 2-3yrs, I decided to send SMS greetings to them. And noooo, i did not get any reply from them. They must have probably changed their phone numbers, awww... thats the problem of not making effort to keep in touch with old friends. I could have lost them forever.

Well, there seem to be a serious lack in human touch lately. I am stil glad i am part of the golden era.
