All nationalities are welcomed actually. Actually the back story is that we got this extra booking at Quality Hotel that has to be used up, so we thought might as well get together and sembang (isn’t that Malaysian’s favourite past time?) because the last gathering in Woodlands not enough people (so not shiok enough).You are ...
Some cool dudes I met from Rock Nano made this digital wall on the Asian Civilization Museum few days ago – it was too happening a week for me to see it live, but the video was quite telling too. Kudos to Chonglai and friends. I think you really need ...
Found a nice article on wikinomics on Hothouse Innovation which summarizes the concept of a “hothouse innovation” from Asian countries that are built under fertile conditions of accelerated growth.Cheap yet high skilled labor, domestic customers with buying power and no brand loyalty, government handouts, greenfield infra with no legacy infra, add to that …
This is another Accelerate 2010 related post. If you’re coming, you better read this.Part 1: 5 points for All AudienceOf course you should firstly read everything that’s already on the conference website. But I want to supplement that with some personal comments (thus penning them down here instead). Some of them applies to i.Luminate as ...
This is a shocking documentary about the manufacturing process of billions of single use chopsticks. The video clip is in mandarin, but I’ve summarized the key points below after the video. What the clip doesn’t say is where these chopsticks end up – if it’s only for Chinese internal consumption then the damage can still ...
The recording was done by camera (Think it was a Lumix?) The video quality is too good, HD video of a rather still image catching all the unsightly stage habits (including appearing too much like log). But the audio quality is really bad, yet unfortunately also capturing the worst in our music, e.g. not holding ...
If you have been following my tweets, facebook, or is fortunate enough to receive a personal eDM from me, you would probably realise I’m helping put together one big conference in September called Accelerate which my team in SingTel (SiX) created after realizing that we need to also play our part in augmenting the innovation ...
Just want to let everyone know that I’m alright, in case you don’t see me that often these days, it’s because of the super workload that I’m taking on these two months. I will try to keep to blogging once a week to stay sane (see tip no. 2) as well.Here’s how I deal with ...
Here’s a quick summary of the weekend of doing nothing.1. LiteratureFrom Baidu Baike 三十而立 (sān shí ér lì) 这是《论语-为政》中孔子对于自己在30岁 时所达到人生状态的自我评价。原文是“吾十 有五，而志于学。三十而立，四十而不惑，五 十而知天命，六十而耳顺，七 …
Come for The Philharmonic Wind’s 10th anniversary Gala Concert. No it’s not a gala concert like, with 10 course meal and getai. Just really picking deeper into the wind orchestra repertoire for rarely heard gems. Learn more about the concert on philwind’s website. Tickets are cheap, really (but I can’t afford another round of competition… ...
Arts House. Play Den. Finally we get to try out a venue where the audience is literally next to the players, hearing directly from the horn’s bell, seeing water dripping from water keys, and being part of the music in the most intimate fashion. It almost reminds me of some 200 year old classical drawing ...
Did another DISC profile test today at work.

Weak in (S)teady and less so (C)omplacent.Outstanding TraitsYou are aggressive, persuasive, active, ...
You have read the news. Amidst the public backlash for not preserving a historical site is the need to solve a different public need – road widening – that I’m sure people who drive through that road knows very well (I pull my hair every time I am forced to use that road). But are ...

Didn’t / couldn’t publicize this earlier coz apparently all 12000 tickets were gone instantly, but what a night at the Botanic Gardens, save some confusing unrehearsed bits, but overall enchanting on a hot and humid night.During sound check after the rain:Audience streaming in with their goodie bags:Unfortunately as part of the contract there isn’t any ...
eChelon 2010 – Asia’s Leading Web Technology Event in SingaporeWell, this is not a post about the event itself.
