Silvertongue.

In the news today, Tony Pua, alumnus of Keble College, PPE-ist, Oxford, joins the DAP. Politics, as he says, is one way to give back to society. I shall follow his career with great interest.

work's been steadily piling up my desk. As usual, my holidays gonna be piled up with work again. hopefully, my spring/easter expeditions won't take away too much Mods revision time.

who cares about acad stuff. Today is Shrove Tuesday, the last day before the season of Lent. Brasenose celebrated with Ale Verses formal hall. We had an absolute blast standing on the benches for the ever first time singing verses to popular tunes, including Hit me baby one more time, you'll never walk alone, and the hippo song. while drinking ale from this huge 17th century jug of ale. brilliant. photos and vids will be on facebook at some point im sure.

And time passes

wow, a lot of time's gone by since my last post. right, its kind of different writing non-anonymous blog postings instead of anonymous ones. if my blog was a little more subtle and anonymous i would be blabbing on and on about my personal life. but that's not what this is about.

here's a few blogs i enjoy reading.
Jeffooi - a popular and controversial blog/journalist.
NikNazmi - former SC president of my alma mater, kyuem.
Tony Pua - this one I can particularly relate to. An oxford alumnus with a keen interest in the NEP, I guess he's as close as you can get to the description of a hero to look up to. A patriot, he believes in making the country a better place, instead of emigrating to a developed nation as soon as the opportunity arises. Oh well, don't take my word for it, go read it for yourself.

Tony Pua also maintains a separate additional blog, which can be found here.
This is quite a good read, especially for of you secondary school people who should really be aware about these things. If you like this kinda stuff, you'd probably find tinkosong immensely useful as well. Especially if you're looking for scholarship resources, stuff like that.
