Justifies why i turned down USP after getting a place in 2008. “http://studentry.sg/2012/05/29/a-response-to-kent-ridge-commons-cyberbullying-in-nus/” Pointless diatribe.

The more you try to stir it “pseudo-intellectually”, the more crap comes back to haunt you.

Sad…really. You’d expect so much more from the lad. Stupidity is the new intelligence isn’t it?

One of the biggest problems I had while I was doing Pandamian was that I would read blog posts about startups and take them as The Absolute Truth. So I would tell my co-founders, and teammates: ‘this is The Right Way to do things’, where ‘The Right Way’ was whatever article I had last read.

metacog:

I was stupid enough [1] to vent yesterday on Alvin Wang’s NUS appeal, and stupider to forget that the post could very well go viral, given the attention given to Alvin’s appeal. So this is the last post I’m going to write on the topic. I will summarize everything we know to be true of this saga,…
