It was my first book out two days ago, and already I'm preparing to return to camp later this evening. I thought I was suitably adjusted to military life after a week, and wondered whether in typical Singaporean kiasu fashion they just wanted to keep us in a whole other week just to be sure. Turns out I learnt much more during the second week, and gears started running even …
For about two weeks, starting on the Saturday when we recorded our live show for the 65th episode of 65bits, Tech65.org has been inaccessible through Singnet broadband and wireless@sg. The only way we are aware of so far to get through this problem is to create a proxy at proxy.singnet.com.sg, port 8080.I think we're pretty sure it isn't a block by Singnet, because 5% of the …
As I stand at the bridge waiting to cross over into Singapore's two year ceremony of manhood, many things start racing through my mind. That and perhaps Magical Midnight, where your mind starts going seriously cranky.Everyone who has learnt about my imminent conscription has inquired in some form or another whether I think I'm ready for it or not. And to all who have asked I …
So, before the LG bloggers' launch event, I had alot of time to kill, and alot of energy to recoup, so I went to Geek Terminal to chill my afternoon away. It's a good thing I didn't fall asleep in the comfy couch/lounge thingy, although I took some liberties in stretching myself out. I cleared like 6 7 videos. It's actually more exhausting than relaxing.It must have been in …
So I was at S@S's last installment of its Emerging Industries series of talks, talking about Web 2.0, with NTT. I have to admit that I was largely attracted to this talk because Kevin Lim was speaking (not that I'm attracted to him la shit but I always love to hear what he has to say). And the other two speakers, Vanessa Tan (Van Tan) and Stuart Tan, were also familiar names …
So I recalled my friend verbally rolling her eyes at what seems to be Kids Central's weak attempt at a Singaporean High School Musical - Schoolhouse Rockz. Complete with the kawaiix/cool dudz zZz at the end to replace the now boring S.As expected of Mediacorp, a search for "kids central" "schoolhouse rock" (yeah I searched without the Z at first) turned up fack all, and I had …
SBHS001? Looks like this is an older model than I thought it would be.For the past few days since I returned from Hokkaido, I've been making my mother's money worth (she bought this with a storm on her face) by showing it off to everyone I know. With cousins and friends we coo over its sleek elegance. With Pingsters and geeks we geek out on its relatively l33t features.The …
WHAT. THE. FUCK.What the fuck! Seriously! I cannot believe I lost ALL my pictures from interesThink! Stupid computer... I must have tried to move the file from Desktop to My Pictures and the computer denied it. The next day I forgot that the computer denied the transfer and cleared the copy from my desktop.Oh ok. I found it. Under my Happy Tree Friends folder. Accidentally …
By some crazy way or the other, the programme staff for RMIT at SIM managed to secure a crazy deal for students attending the Effies. Before I go on, the Effies, simply put, are the Oscars of the advertising world - recognizing the best of advertising campaigns and efforts. The RMIT staff managed to clinch a deal with the organizers to let us go for $50. By normal standards, …
So I've been holding the Classmate for about a week and a half now, and I've said it and I'll say it again. I am going to sorely miss this lil' baby when I return it, anytime now.What I adore about the Classmate PC its it's size. Many girls, and the more petite ones mind you, have stared in awe, as I rattle away on the Classmate's keyboard. Just like any miniaturized gadget …
So since I've talked about it over at 65bits, I thought I'd provide a more personal point of view of the event here. As Rinaz rightly pointed out, I was very glad to have not one, two, but a whole table of pingsters with me (as well as more in our immediate surroundings). It would have been cold and lonely to attend the event without anyone familiar. For that I suppose we'll …
SO.I popped by the IT Show '08 for the second time yesterday. Today's the fricking third time, but that's for another post. The first time was on Thursday, to recce (or racky, or raq-key. However the hell you spell it. Short for reconnaissance, ok?) I collected Fujifilm, Nikon, Sony, Exilim, and maybe a couple others. My budget was $250, $300 maxed out. And for that price …
Just because I have no Vimeo account and don't quite see the need for one (not now anyway), this is my way of favouriting a Vimeo video.By blogging about it.I can just stick it here because I'm fairly confident the video won't get taken off.Because the user is my friend Rinaz.Anyways this was at ping.sg's Chinese New Year Lou-Yu-Sheng gathering at De Coder's Cafe, down at the …
Yesterday marked a sour end to an otherwise enjoyable and engaging lecture. As usual, the lord of all this chaos was our COM443 lecturer, Principles and Techniques in Advertising. We had just received an individual and a group assignment, and were already conducting the typically Singaporean preliminary discussions as to how to approach it. That was when Fat Man and Little …
So yesterday after an awesome 100th 65bits episode, I went with DK, Nicole, Jean, Alice, Vincent, and sorry Jean's friend your name slipped my mind, to watch Bolt. We wanted to catch the 3D version, and were disappointed that The Cathay only had one show at 3.15pm (it was 4.30 by then?). The other alternative was 6.30 at Tampines Mall, which I didn't mind but the other …
Foreword: All the pictures you see are courtesy of MS releasing them. I don't really like to use others' photographs, released or not, and that's why I emptied my wallet buying myself a camera, but there's no point when there isn't a different point of view explored in my limited photographs to show off.It started off for fellow podcaster Jerrick and I by being a bitch to …
Earlier I posted a copy picture of dk's (in)famous avatar.Later yesterday night/early this morning, inspired by nicole's daring act, we all started doing our own face-on-something-else pictures. This is mine...And the whole list of jokers who participated (no meh?) can be found here. Have fun.
Here I go again having to "favorite" my video with a blog post. Do I reeeeeally have to sign up in Vimeo? Can I survive without having to create another sleeping account?This time, it's the Pingsters again tossing yu-sheng, the traditional Lunar New Year act of tossing a rich variety of ingredients, each representing something (luck, fortune, babies, intellect, etc.). This …
So it's the end of BMT, and we were made to write a reflection about our time here, for I don't know what reason. Posterity I guess. Most of them just wrote it an hour before submission time, but I obediently typed and printed it out just like my sergeant instructed, so I thought I might as well share it with you.Gosh one does have to be OMG careful when writing about the …
Okay okay okay. Okay.Okay.I HAVE alot of material to post up (no excluding the ones that I said I would follow up with but never did, sorry about those).Tonight, the murderfishing Internet connection is faulty, and no video can be streamed, no video can be uploaded, no PHOTOS can be uploaded.You wait. I'll show you. Got a load to shove down your throat.Don't be sick la please.
