Approved!

Wow, this must be the fastest approval ever! I only put in my SDL application yesterday and it has been approved today! I am right. When no money is involved to be paid out, it is so much easier to approve. :P 

SDL

I almost forgot to apply for Staff Development Leave (SDL) for my overseas conference in June. It must be applied 4-5 weeks before the conference. I figured that since I am not seeking for financial assistance (yes, I am paying for myself as my presentation is not project-related but on my research niche), it would be relatively easy to approve. 

APPLES

= Application for Passport On-line Electronic System

ICA sent me a notice about my passport expiring in May 2011 and an application form was also attached with the notice. However I decided to apply for my new passport through the online system. It is less of a hassle. :)

Undecided? Ask Paul

If you can't decide between two options, you can now ask Paul. Paul who? Paul the Octopus! Ok, not the Paul, the Oracle Octopus who predicted accurately the results of the World Cup matches but Paul the Octopus, an iPhone application. Trust someone to come up with a winning idea like that, no pun intended lol. :P To ask "Paul", the iPhone user has to key in two options, e.g. Cycling or Swimming and a cartoon octopus will choose between them. Sounds fun. :)

Hmm, I wonder if this iPhone Paul can help to choose between two sets of 4D numbers?! Haha :P
