Avoided jail because bright future

NUS undergrad molester avoids jail because he has good grades & ‘potential to excel in life’

A student from the National University of Singapore (NUS) who repeatedly molested a woman at Serangoon MRT station in September 2018 was on Wednesday (Sep. 25) sentenced to probation.

According to The New Paper, the judge rejected calls from the prosecution for 23-year-old Terence Siow Kai Yuan to be handed a jail term.

Justifying her decision, District Judge Jasvender Kaur reportedly on multiple occasions described Siow’s three instances of touching his victim — twice on her thigh and once at her private parts – as “minor intrusions”.

TNP said she also cited a probation report that deemed Siow suitable for probation because his academic results showed he had the “potential to excel in life”.

Siow had pleaded guilty to one charge of outraging the modesty of a 28-year-old woman, while two other similar charges were taken into consideration in sentencing him to 21 months of supervised probation.

Student who stabbed boyfriend may avoid jail...

Aspiring surgeon Lavinia Woodward admits attack but judge defers sentencing because of her ‘extraordinary’ talent

An Oxford University student who stabbed her boyfriend with a bread knife may not go to jail because it could damage her prospects of a medical career, a court has heard.

Aspiring heart surgeon Lavinia Woodward, 24, punched and stabbed her boyfriend during an alcohol-and-drug-fuelled row at Christ Church College. She admitted unlawfully wounding the Cambridge University student, who she met on the dating app Tinder.

Judge Ian Pringle QC, sitting at Oxford crown court, said he would take an “exceptional” course and defer sentence for four months, hinting that Woodward will not be jailed because of her talent. “It seems to me that if this was a one-off, a complete one-off, to prevent this extraordinary able young lady from not following her long-held desire to enter the profession she wishes to would be a sentence which would be too severe,” he said.

“What you did will never, I know, leave you, but it was pretty awful, and normally it would attract a custodial sentence, whether it is immediate or suspended,” he said.

Woodward, who lives in Milan, Italy, with her mother, stabbed her then-boyfriend in the leg after punching him in the face. She then hurled a laptop, glass and jam jar at him during the attack on 30 September last year, the court heard. She was in court to hear the judge’s comments.

The court was told that Christ Church would allow her to return in October because she “is that bright” and has had articles published in medical journals.

Mitigating, James Sturman QC said his client’s dreams of becoming a surgeon were “almost impossible” as her conviction would have to be disclosed. She had had a very troubled life and was abused by a previous boyfriend, he said.

Woodward will be sentenced on 25 September. She was given a restraining order and told to stay drug-free and not to reoffend.

A spokesman for Christ Church said: “I’m afraid that Christ Church does not comment on the circumstances of individual students.”

I'm thinking of buying my first mechanical watch and I'm deciding between these two. Both are at different price but they are within my budget. Should I get the cheaper military watch or the diving watch?

Should I buy a dedicated soundcard?

WanMB — Sat, 12 Sep 2015 15:04:07 +0800

The on board audio on my Asus mobo sounds fine when watching video or play games but when listening to music, it sounds so shitty especially the FLAC music files. Thinking of buying Asus Xonar Essence STX sound card but I'm afraid I'll be wasting my money because I don't have any expensive headphones/earphones that can take advantage of the sound card nor do I have any DAC. I don't have any speaker and I only use my JVC HA-FXT100 to listen to songs, watch movies and play games. I don't consider myself an audiophile but I do appreciate high quality sound. I will always use my Xperia phone when I want to listen to songs as I cannot take the horrible on board sound on my desktop computer. Is it worth for me to buy the Asus sound card? Sure I can afford it but I'm afraid I won't be able to make use of it fully.

WanMB — Wed, 13 May 2015 20:40:22 +0800

As per title, the cursor seem hesistant to move when I use my touchpad. Plugged in my mouse and somehow the USB input not recognised and the LED on my mouse flashing like crazy when usually its supposed to be pulsing effect. So, I use my bro's laptop to do my research on this issue and guess what, it have similar problem. It was fine at first but suddenly the cursor have a mind of its own. The right click menu keeps appearing out of sudden. Tried to unplug my mouse and use the touchpad but same issue. Now my touchpad not working at all and using my mouse. It work okay but as soon as I start typing on the keyboard, it went crazy again. Now both of the laptop is unusable. What could be the cause of this issue? I have no working laptop right now

Help! No signal coming from newly build computer

WanMB — Sun, 10 May 2015 02:07:04 +0800

So I just finished building my first DIY gaming rig. When I connect the monitor to the graphics card, no signal is coming from the computer. My monitor will show "No signal" message and goes to power saving mode. Then I realised the input source is set to VGA by default and changed the input to HDMI but issue persisted. Tried connecting to HDMI port on mobo but still the same. Took a VGA cable and connect it to my the mobo but same result. My specs are:

Asus H97 Pro Gamer
Gigabyte GTX970 G1
Seasonic M12II 750W
Intel i5 4690
Avexir Core Series 2x4GB 1186 RAM

When I turn on the power, all fans, graphic card, casing and mobo LED turns on. What could be the issue? I really hope it's not the mobo icon_question.gif cry.gif

EDIT: I connect the monitor to my laptop and it works. So it's not the cable/monitor issue.

Recommend me budget gaming headphone

WanMB — Thu, 22 Jan 2015 23:52:21 +0800

Recommend me a budget gaming headphone preferably under < SGD100 with a good noise cancelling mic. I don't want to spend so much just for game headset. I'm considering Logitech g230 at the moment but read some review said that background noise can be heard even though the mic have noise cancelling. Any other headphones to recommend other than the g230?
