"seems to me there's somethin' you don't know about men, an' that's we can't help this shit.i mean, i dunno if it's genetic, or if it's to do with what we get taught, of if it's just 'cause it's expected of us -- but it's what we DO, ok?'cause to help a girl when she's in trouble, or stop her gettin' into trouble, is just the right goddamned thing to do.." - jesse custer, …
One day ago, TODAY newspaper announced the formation of The Association of Bloggers (Singapore). I’d actually been told of such an association forming before they went public yesterday, and when i was told then, i immediately drew a parallel to the Marvel story arc: Civil WarThe parallel is startling because of my fascination with the ...
every now and then, something interesting pops into your life when you least expect it, especially when it's something you know not many people know about either.for those of you who remember steph song, she charmed many hearts as an FHM cover girl, and later on acted in a few TCS programmes. and then she disappeared off the face of Singaporean TV.I guess she went back to …
Waffletown and i have quite a bit of history together. I basically grew up eating Waffletown as a kid, when mom would buy back fried chicken, mashed potatoes and the awesome waffles with ice-cream home for lunch. maybe i was a pretty spoiled kid. lesse, i'd probably need to have been in primary school if i were to count back the number of years its been since i've eaten their …
by now, some of the more active new media movers in Singapore have tried out the latest web application, Plurk.what exactly is Plurk? well, if you aren't even using Twitter, this post might not make much sense to you.Twitterers jumped onto Plurk when Twitter kept having outages that really made following conversations a hassle. While Twitter and me have not parted ways, i am …
as i was driving home in the rain just now, it felt very unfamiliar. not because we haven't had any rain in Singapore for awhile, but i think it was because of the modern convenience of always being under shelter when it rained.sure it was an unearthly hour of two-thirty in the morning, when usually i'm nestled in the warmth of my bed, but this 'being in the rain' episode …
The world spins on its axis in twenty four hours.We expect our news much faster than that these days. While i'm on Twitter, i get real time updates from my fellow human beings halfway across the world. I am twelve hours ahead of them. Not counting the things I get to read of blogs, news sites, video sites and pictures.I guess it can be perceived that the world is getting …

Everybody has a price. Today i found out what mine was. It's called the negative value..You can't buy me if you haven't appeased my soul, but you can definitely make me feel like wanting to put myself up for sale.i dipped into my savings to pay off some of my bills. i was supposed to have savings this month, but now i don't. it's not a good place.. i know the next few months …
Just pinging the blog just to let it know i'm still alive.Busy juggling work, life and blogging. i think i've been failing miserably. Still trying to get my other blog up to speed too, but that's failing miserably as well.Ah well, such a miserable existence. my bit of pessimism to the Net.
advertising in the past decade or so seems to have lots its edge to disrupt us in our daily lives and take notice. it's not that the creativity isn't there, but i think we just know an advertisement when we see one. it just doesn't disrupt our lives anymore, and when it does, it tends to irk us instead of make us curious. this is where i think advertising should evolve. it …
So while i haven't been updating much these days, mainly because i don't see a need for this blog to be a diary of sorts anymore. i suppose my blogging habits have changed, as perhaps my lifestyle and thinking has shifted too.i've been noticing a similar trend with my friends as well, and maybe with the entire ecosystem.i think there will always be bloggers, but one thing …
you've got to hand it to her. Xiaxue really puts Singapore on the map of the global blogosphere. by now, you might have seen this video floating around on the Internet:and if you haven't, well, there it is. it's an iphone "review" by Xiaxue because the producers of her vodcast, Xiaxue's guide to life played a "prank" on her by giving her a fake iphone to review, and when …

since there are only a couple of us here in singapore who are practicing public relations and are also active in new media or social media (links on the right under the header public relations), i see it as a sort of corporate responsibility to talk about the topic of where public relations fits in the grand scheme of all things new and social media. as a public relations …
one of my main gripes is, people expecting a digital influence strategy to be the miracle pill to all your business woes. the audience exists online right? so why not just reach out to them there? yeah, the proof is in the pudding, but i'm sure every marketer and advertiser has also seen the charts that indicate, the money simply isn't going into digital. markets in Singapore …
Slightly more than a year ago, the term 'social media' was foreign to me. I had no idea that1. chatting with my friends online was considered 'Word of Mouth Marketing'2. uploading blog entries, photos and videos was 'user generated content'3. connecting with friends and other local bands on Friendster and Myspace was 'social networking'4. downloading a Radiohead album would …
I used to wonder if i had Attention Deficit Disorder, now i know.. the markerters have given me a label. I'm part of Generation Y (Why?)I'll be blogging in direct response to this post:Great, I now have a label to explain everything that's wrong about me, we're Generation Y with short attention spans, we want a balance in life. Work and our careers are everything to us (in …
