It has been a long time since I last blogged. Last minute studying for the impending law school entrance exams did not leave me much time to write after the two posts about the Singapore General Election 2011.
However, no writing does not mean no reading. I was surfing the internet as much as ever and here are some interesting articles that I recently came across -
