The duo were very good friends that helped the writing career of each other.
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 =)
I totally just blasted the travel agent handling my London flights (albeit in a very nice way).
Next time in the future if you are changing the flights from one quotation to the next, please inform me (or whichever person) that you have made certain changes and state the reason why (e.g. full flight). Apologies but not all of us have the time in the world to go through every single line of the quotation/itinerary, we usually just skim through it assuming things are directed as before. And it is very stressing to finally realize the change only much later when it’s too late to make anymore changes.
How can you go ahead to book an itinerary with that single flight change without informing me and telling me the reason why? That quotation has 4 flights for me to look at and I can’t be reading every single line (don’t even get me started on the style of display of that quotation pdf…you have to trace lines mentally in order to see what is what). I would already come with the assumption that you would book the quotation I confirmed. And now it’s too late to change the flight and thus I have to make separate transport arrangements. Ugh! NTU dynasty travel…please have better customer service thanks.

This is why I don’t like it when in modern church services they always ask you to identify yourself, and go forward for altar call or if you want prayer. Suddenly it’s not enough just between you and God.
