So far I have felt the normal feelings of a man my age — like an old tree that is losing all its leaves one by one: this feels like an axe-blow near the roots.

J.R.R. Tolkien in a letter to his daughter following C.S. Lewis’s death in 1963

The duo were very good friends that helped the writing career of each other.

I’m gonna walk a hundred miles
I’m gonna whistle all the while
If that’s what it takes to make me smile
I’m gonna walk a hundred miles

I’m gonna run right up this hill
Summer sky or winter chill
If I gotta take a break I will
But I’m gonna run right up this hill

I wanna hold the whole wide world
Right here in my open hands
Maybe I’m just a little girl
A little girl with great big plans

I’m gonna go and take a chance
I’m gonna learn to ballet dance
Learn a little something ‘bout romance
I’m gonna go and take a chance

I’m gonna live a crazy dream
Impossible as it may seem
Doesn’t matter what the future brings
I’m gonna live a crazy dream

You tell me, “don’t try it”
I’m warning you that I won’t buy it
All failure is fleeting
I trust it always has its meaning

NTU researchers launch new anti-dengue app which relies on community participation
Researchers from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have come up with what might be the answer to Singapore’s dengue woes. Called Mo-Buzz, the system is a free mobile application which relies on community participation. The programme taps on historical data in order to track and predict dengue hot spots up to a month in advance.

This is from my research centre although it’s not my project. Hopefully it turns out well =)
