Un-Malaysian?

Congratulations Kenneth, you are 36% not Malaysian. That means you’re as Malaysian as… Michelle Yeoh! How Un-Malaysian Are You? Victor, I wonder why I did this. Actually, I also wonder why you did this… I think I got marked down for giving the textbook answers. =P UPDATE Removed Michelle Yeoh’s photo. Don’t really like her. [...]

Quickfire reflection on the Monday morning presentation to NUS Libraries staff: Pace quickened compared to the trial-run, participants responsive during blogs, not so during feeds (perhaps an after-tea break effect?) Didn’t get a chance to add more visuals, as originally intended. Will work on that for future presentations. Handout should have explanatory notes if the [...]

V for Vendetta DVD banned in Singapore?

Stationery Girl pointed out that V for Vendetta is banned in Singapore. A check with Media Development Authority’s Film Classification Database only lists the film ratings for the movie theatre version of movie. (Wasn’t aware there were two versions.)
