<![CDATA[ Alcott Lim - 部落格]]>Sun, 25 Jul 2010 03:54:15 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[Life's been relatively... good.]]>Fri, 02 Apr 2010 06:23:47 -0800http://www.alcottlim.com/1/post/2010/04/lifes-been-relatively-good.htmlHey peeps, it's been a while since I last blogged.
Life's been busy, however, I'm kinda enjoying.

2 overseas trips during this "soon-to-be-over" vacation. Other than having some fun in Hong Kong and Colmar Tropicale, not forgetting GENTING (Junquan saw that?), I've learnt quite a bit too.

Thanks Billy for all the advices, it's really useful and I really appreciate it.
Thanks Junquan for sharing your experiences during the trip.
Thanks Edmund, Jingxun and Terrence for taking care of this "didi" (referring to me lah) during the Hong Kong trip.
Thank you everyone who cared to ask.

Before school officially begins again, I've quite a bit of stuff to fulfill.
Hope I can get them done before 19 April.

Oh yes, xin.sg has bid farewell to all.
However, there are more interesting stuff to expect at XINMSN.com!

Catch catch-up TV programmes, entertainment buzz, local news and many more!

Till then.]]><![CDATA[CurioCity]]>Thu, 04 Mar 2010 04:56:53 -0800http://www.alcottlim.com/1/post/2010/03/curiocity.html

《我报》御用的摄影记者李欣赏老师出书了！

A journey into any destination heightens our senses as we seek information from all that’s installed by nature and make sense of the artifacts that are juxtaposed amongst them. As a photographer, I relish this opportunity to seek the unchartered, to show the unseen and to tell stories that remain relatively untold. Through the lens, I hope to capture the very essence of life... I urge all to consider the responsibilities that comes attached with the creation of a still image. Without a doubt, my purpose hinges on future generations looking beyond surface beauty and hopefully be immersed into the layers beneath the grains - hopefully evident in the picture and be triggered to journey into a state of reflection on the world at large and our minute being and purpose.

The title ‘curiocity’, created from the word curiosity, is not only a narrative documentation between a husband and wife but a reminder for us to continue the curious probing of humanity’s purpose and the issues attached to all the indifference we face across cities and cultures. And as we live as an ‘I’ giving considerations to a ‘U’ out there... Faith, Peace, Hope and Love prevails.

Dimensions of the book: 17.5cm x 24 cm

I think I just overdose it that I lost count how many capsules did I actually consumed today.

6 hours to complete a summary. That's so not me.
I wish I could have more time to fine tune the summary.

Trazodone doesn't make me sleepy at all, when it is supposed to.. and I'm not a bit happier after eating it. Damn.

Recently, I've just submitted an online assignment on SafeAssign (a tool for teachers to track on potential students' plagiarism acts).

This is how the software works.
It will cross-refer to the online essays available in SafeAssign, afterwhich, moving on to the World Wide Web database.

It's quite usual to see some similar cache words appearing.
However, it really tickles me when the software generates the following statistic report.
Here goes. The only 2% matching words.

Well, you can't expect me to use a different name each time I write a news article, right?
Ha!

佳节来临，粉丝们不忘在庆祝之余，到新动网（心动专区）走一走。感激！

假期值班，除了空荡荡的办公室（食堂也没开），只剩“网友”作伴。说真的，没有你们的留言，上班可就没有如此精彩。

今天发布的一则帖子：“連范XX這些外人都知道范XX最紅，鄭XX憑什么是阿一？

说真的，我真的很佩服现在的粉丝。肯花时间整理资料，做分析，以及给偶像给予他们无限的支持，娱乐圈少了他们，哪行儿？

这位满腹正义感的网友louis为给范阿二“打抱不平”，在论坛上开设了一则新的讨论帖子。最令我感到意外的是，这位网友还针对四大方面：产品代言、电影出 镜机会、两位曾饰演的电视经典人物，以及“其他”，作了详尽的分析。不仅如此，louis还在帖子的最后作了一个“总结”，非常用心。

我个人对阿一阿二没有什么偏好，但是佩服两位能在本地小小的娱乐圈混超过10年来，而且还能“屹立不倒”。对于louis，我欣赏你的直率，毕竟在本地肯站出来说话的人还真的不多。

如果是阿一的粉丝要呛声，还是阿二的粉丝有话说，不妨点击这里和大家一起分享。

具他所说，这间簇新的KTV不只有完善的点歌设施，墙上还装有调音量，播音效以及其他K歌所需功能的小按钮。即方便又豪华。

很想去瞧一瞧，这被众人高度评价的KTV。
但是，美中不足的，可能就是艺人们的照片了。
看了，真的会让你笑上一整天。

图里的人真的是郭静吗？

朋友应该会骂死我，把他们的照片刊登在报章和网上。不过，至少我觉得因为有这一班朋友，才让我领悟到友谊的重要性。
