An exhilirating couple of days in Singapore!
What a day - really. Talk about clockwork. Got up at 6 am to go for the NGES Summit 2006. Helped setup the stuff. I really like working for Sarah and Jupe from NOC - the most professional people around with amazing communication skills.
It is beautiful when everything just works.
I love to help. I feel this is probably where I belong - in servicing others. Also, I am thinking hard again about business ideas. It is make it or break it time - I need to make something happen.
An interesting bunch of people - it is really great since I met so many different people. Good ole Prof Babin from Upenn - he is so bubbly and friendly and he feels like he is your best friend and it was really good seeing him again. Prof Kosnik from Stanford - the people from SV just can't stop talking. And I can see how NOC helped - if I check the kinda ethics and professionalism of some of the NOC alumni - Amanada, Adelina and Jimmy I can see how useful this experience is.
Fantastic day and it was rounded off by most helpers making it down to the networking event dinner at Orchard Hotel - got one more today as well - today is the appreciation dinner and todays sessions should be as fun as yesterday.
Oh! And we caught a peeping tom on the 4th floor of a block. A re-offender (not proven) from KE7 was positively ID'd. The scenario is that he was in the middle of his act when another girl walked in on him. He ran. She tried to stop him. He shoved. He was off. Two Indians spot him running hurriedly out of Old KR.
There are all kinds of people looking for the suspect late into the night at 2 a.m. The Resident Fellow decides to do a room check on the 3rd and 4th floors. Everythings in order. Except in one room in the 4th floor. Door is unlocked; resident missing but his wallet, phone and keys on the table (do not confuse this with the missing Alabama woman - she just had cold feet, ran from her wedding, caused the State of Georgia to lose in excess of $ 50,000 while she was on a Greyhound that took her to Oaklohama - or some state - does it matter because in the end everyone was happy since she even tried to sell her story). He walks back in at 2.30 or thereafter. Room has been locked. RA is contacted. He confesses.
Well, my take on it. Send him off-campus with some counselling and a severe reprimand. And on a lighter note - what is this guy's problem? Serious issues. It's like he does not know about Playboy and Hustle magazine. Come on. Its the most profitable business on the web - do you really want to spy in the showers in OLD KR? He should be charged for stupidity and not the peeping thing. Also, I mentioned this to my mates - I think all men probably fantasize about pulling a stunt like this. Then we rationalize and realize the risks involved - and 99.9% of men would resist the temptation. This is one temptation that is definitely yielded to by the minority. I think what is more disturbing is the amount of ex-KE7s that turn out to be peeping toms.
What else is new? Watched loads of movies. Will update with pics soon.
Listening to "Run it" and "Can I have it like that" remixes - it does not add to anything intellectual but the beat is infectious - listening to it all the time.
Realizing that my weight is definitely an issue I have cited the SRC 2 days in a row - completed 2 slow jogs on the first and an uncounted number of "walking rounds" on the second day. I think the dinners at Orchard Hotel are not helping.
BUT yes, I need a job and my thesis is still calling.
As a sidenote, I met Dr Millie since her husband was a participant. She thinks the world of me. Where is that job again?
