Ever since I came back all I've been doing is eating and eating and eating.... without holding back. I really miss all the good food in Malaysia (both hawker and restaurants), I wish my university hostel would just serve food as good as Malaysian hawker centres.On another note, ever since I got back my grandma's been calling me almost daily to go over to her house for dinner …
Haha Jiahui sent me a video today and yes, it was of an octopus eating a shark!! Watch how the octopus effortlessly grabs and kills the shark O_O!!!! Looks like those fragile-looking creatures are meaner than they look!
I was reading Ben’s post about social media marketing examples from Singapore and I can’t help but wonder why most of these initiatives are limited to YouTube and blogging. If you think about it, the idea of getting people to blog and create videos requires quite a bit of effort. Why am I emphasizing on ...
The folks at The Digital Movement(including my slacking self) have been working on this event called BlogOut! and finally we're READY to take on the world!! Just kidding. Anyway, since many people have been talking about BlogOut and writing about it, I thought it'd be nice if I shared something different, the perspective of someone inside the team.Early days...We wanted an …
I've heard whispers from a few people before that if you plug your headphones / earphones into the microphone jack/slot of your PC, it can be used as a mic! I never actually got down to verifying it until last night when some of my team members were on Skype but didn't have microphones, so I made them do that and... IT WORKED! Now isn't that just wicked!
2 days ago, the TDM team and I organized PopOut’07: Emerging Web Startups which is the very first episode of a series of startup showcases to come! At PopOut, we got local web startups which we thought had rather interesting initiatives to strut their stuff and share their personal stories. I won’t be writing about ...
Jiahui sent me these 2 links today on the price of the Lenovo ThinkPad X60 laptops while she was surfing their site for it, and saw the insane price of $192,012.45!!! And it wasn't only on the individual product page, it was also on the FRONT page of the ThinkPad notebooks. Haha this reminds me of the pricing error on an online British shopping website which underpriced its …
Hey guys! Recently for one of my modules I was asked to come up with a product design that would improve a home activity for a target group. As it was just an idea brainstorming session, I thought I should share an idea I had here which I think would be useful for many old ...
Finally the iX Conference is over! I'm exhausted and all I've been doing ever since it ended on Thursday was shop shop shop and sleep sleep sleep. The event was very successful, we (aka the TDM team) were euphoric, so were the team from SITF who collaborated with us.However, even though the event was successful I still have my doubts about how insightful it was for the …
Hey guys! Remember all the hype and talk about the new NUS Facebook module(Formal name is CS3216: Software Developing on Evolving Platforms)? Good news is that this module is going to be offered again next semester and applications for it are now open (I’m a tutor for it this time yay! ^_~). We’re going to ...
This has got to be the best and most realistic videogame review I've ever seen. Usually when you have a videogame review the non-gamers will go "Uh.. o_O??". This one however appeals to both non-gamers and gamers. The guys at Up All Night really did a good job with this review, definitely looking forward to their future game reviews. Here below is a video review of the …
I found this TED Talk video on Teng Foung’s blog earlier today which left me speechless! Its a demo of Bumptop, an application which revolutionizes your desktop in a way that allows you to interact with it like your REAL office desk. According to Bumptop’s creator Anand Agrawala, we’ve been putting up with such a ...

Found this great stuff on Global Nerdy. Every gamer’s dream has come true! The merging of games and e-mail. Wow, sounds waaaay cool, interacting and gaming with your e-mails. A trailer’s included too!Uhh…. what was that? Was it a promotional porn movie? o_O? I sure saw an awful lot of scantilly dress babes posing sexily, ...
For the past few years I've been making many choices, some of which took me months of contemplation thanks to my fickle-minded self. This has led to me setting higher expectations, for what I want to achieve while also creating more opportunities for myself along the way. There were times when I was surprsied with the outcomes of the roadmap I had set forth, when I don't get …
For the past week, I've been feeling like a workaholic with my sleep decreasing exponentially from my comfort zone of 12 hours to a meager 5 hours ;_;. Looks like my efforts to avoid myself from becoming a panda is going down the drain ack!!As you can see above, pandas are heaps cute but when you turn a human into a panda, you don't get cute. You get zombie... and THAT is …
I’m not a political junkie, but I’ve been hearing about the new Obama vs Guilani girl video here, here and here! In the end I succumbed to all the hype and watched the video to see why. Finally! We have a politician who knows how to use the internet to reach out to the masses ...
Was browsing the thread on the Virginia Tech incident on Recom (very popular forum among Malaysian students and youths) today and read the accounts of fellow Recomer digimushu(Brendan Chan …
Ever remember those times when you were bored at school, spinning your pen a few rounds between your fingers slowly? And trying to gain bragging rights by competing with your friends to see who could spin the fastest? This video shows what you get after many HOURS/MONTHS/YEARS of boredom. Who could have imagine that pen ...
Remember the final battle in the movie Drumline where teams put up a fantastic orchestra of drum beats and rhythms, perform cool stick passing/tossing stunts and beat on each other’s drums with alien speed and precision? Well, believe it or not, this is the REAL thing and its even better than the movie. Presenting to ...
