No internet in Egypt! Was thinking about this. What if this happens all over the world!? How much would this affect our day-to-day lives? I eat, sleep and breathe internet. I'm on the internet almost all the time. If not on my macbook, on my iPhone. There's nothing as addictive as internet. If I'm totally left alone in an island and if I can ask for one thing that would be access to internet. The most important things that...
Yup, I'm back on Twitter. After toying with facebook for a few months, I've started tweeting again. Honestly, I never liked facebook's design but when I was away from home, its utility was just brilliant. There's no better way than facebook for connecting with friends, family and relatives in distant places. I'm no longer in Singapore. I'm back home now.

Apparently it's not active though. Not sure what makes me type this post at this very moment. I always wanted to keep this blog alive and active. I love writing. No matter whether it's a good read or not, I love to write. For various reasons (mostly lame), I haven't been able to write in this blog for a long time. But I'm here now.

You might know that I'm a football fan. Not many would know that I'm also a fan of hip-hop. When I first heard this world cup song by an African singer, I kinda liked it. This being the first world cup in Africa and all that, the world cup anthem is by this Somalian rapper with this strange name K'Naan. I really like his music. I like his music for exactly why I like hip-hop. The music is not about how much the singer 'wants his lover', 'needs his lover' and 'wanna be with her forever and ever'. His music is about the real issues facing his society and what it means to grow up and live in...
I’ve learnt about this new concept ‘survivorship bias’. It’s very interesting thing to be aware of so I thought I’ll share it here. This could also be very useful in your day-to-day life. It’s a simple but great concept about the human perception and thinking and how they impact statistics and their interpretations. Survivorship bias is well . . our bias towards the survivors.
