New speed tests for Time Warner Cable ISP!

Howdy folks, welcome back to my online speed test report! After my move westward from my previous abode, I've had to switch ISPs coz NO ONE ELSE services this area (outside of AT&T DSL - which is a no-no since I've already got a celly, I'm not gonna spend the dosh to get a land line I won't use)...

Rant aside, I decided to run some of the Speed Tests featured at BroadbandReports.com for this round to compare it with some of the speed tests I did while I was in my old place (Earthlink was my ISP, but the line was serviced by Time Warner):

Not too bad!

Rare natural phenomenon in Singapore!

Reading this on MrBrown.com, there was a sighting of a water spout (water-based twister-like thingy) that occurred off the East Coast shoreline just a couple of hours ago (around 2:45pm SG time)...

Here's what it looked it (VERY COOL), plus you can check out Mr Brown's post of it:

Numbers game

A recent post of a Singaporean private tutor (that I came across from Tomorrow.SG) wrote about how the difficulty of Math syllabus can differ as you move across the continents... comparing how a University's test question varies in the Queen's Land against Asia's Big Red Powerhouse.

Now of course, I would dispute the fairness between the quality of each University's syllabus that they picked the papers from... but being married to a very intelligent and competitive Chinese wife, I can attest to the tenacity and drive that top Chinese students have to attain the best scores in their academics (and a lot of other things, like sports - my lady love used to be a fan of Yao Ming ;) .

On the same note, Singapore students don't get it easy either... especially more so these days compared to back when I was in high school! :)

Phew! ^o^

Update: Little mistake corrected, pointed out by Miss Loi! Thank you!
