  • 银联在新加坡

    银联卡在新加坡

    今天逛街时，我经过一间店看到了银联的商标。现在是不是在新加坡有银联商标的大陆银联卡也能在新加坡消费？是这样的话，太好了。 如果有NETS商标的卡也能在大陆用那就更好？

    看来过不久，新加坡会给大陆人同化了，不是吗？老干妈，酸豆角，等等，在这都有的买了。

  • 代你看世界

    Channel U programme, 代你看世界代你看世界

    Today I submitted my application for the Channel U’s Adventure Clicks.

    “What’s that?” I also do not really know. I think is something like the Amazing Race plus Ed TV kind of tour show, where the audience will dictate the hosts to run all over the earth like monkey with hi-tech gadgets that allow remote blogging and so forth?

    I have applied and hope to be selected to be one of the monkeys and make this Channel U program part of my ‘The World is My Home’ campaign.

    In the application form, I am ask “why choose me”. I say, I am the best and I meet all the criteria.

    Why I am the best? Because I meet all the criteria and I have the x-factor for such programme.

    The three criteria for the show are:

    1. You must be able to converse in Mandarin. No problem for me, Mandarin is the ‘in’ thing now.

    2. Have an interesting character, a mind of your own, an adventurous attitude and inquisitive mind. No problem too. Since I always have a mind of my own, why not let me be the producer of the show. How about let me select my own production crews too. So me and my team will produce alternative TV show that will capture high viewership.

    3. Being technology savvy with the latest communicative electronic gadgets would be advantageous. If I am a host for this show, I am gonna get my own sponsors. Will get myself Sony Ericsson to sponsor me M600i and K800i for photography, communication and tacit collboration. I will also get Apple to sponsor my team, MacbookPro and iPod to get our stuffs done. I will also get designer wears like, Nike for our entire attire for the trips.

    So now, let wait for an interview by TCS. Or is it now call Media Corp? What a lame name!

  • Why I Like To Eat Kidney Beans

    My Secret Love Recipes With Kidney Beans

    GF: Dear, do you know what is this call?

    ME: Bean loh!

    GF: Ya! What kind of bean?

    ME: Err… big red bean?

    GF: No! Guess again?

    ME: Arr… I don’t know.

    GF: Is call, kidney bean, dear.

    That was how I knew this was called kidney bean. When I dated her, she loved to eat kidney beans. When we went for salad buffet, we would fill our stomach with a big bowl of it. That was how I began to like to eat kidney bean.

    I got myself a big spoonful of the bean and while I was eating it, my heart suddenly felt lonely, wanted to cry and I thought of her again. I thought of the joy we shared together eating the beans, forked one bean at a time feeding one another. This is our love recipes with kidney beans.

  • Online Casino Launched

    In conjunction with my UME business, I had been secretly building an online gaming market, the online casino with my team since last October. This 13-month project finally went online this month.

    We now in the phase one, inviting beta testers testing out our servers and fixing bugs. Our casino was the first and only one, built using the Integrated Development Environment (IDE), Adobe Flash and Flash Communication Server, now known as Flash Media Server that allow multiplayer interaction.

    During the thirteen month of incubation, we spent lot of time studying the feasibility of penetrating the chinese market. Secondly we invested most of our resources to experiment the platform best suitable for us for deployment by developing nine different prototypes. After much testing, we decided to go with Adobe Flash, previously known as Macromedia Flash.

    My Wish List For Christmas 2006 (1.0)

    • Apple iMac 17”

    • Apple iPod Nano

    • Apple Macbook Pro

    • Nike Plus with the Nike shoes

    • Nintendo Wii

    • Sony Ericsson K800i

    • Sony Ericsson M600i

    • Sony Playstation Portable

    • A Small Comfy Yacht

  • Sony Ericsson M600i

    Another phone I am eying on it, is this Sony Ericsson M600i. This is the business phone I want to have it in my possession if I am going to start my new business next month in Zhuhai, China.

    This phone have all the features I need to give me the mobility to roam China freely by putting my office into this smartphone. I think M600i will let me run my business almost remotely while I am on the road.

    I can’t wait to get my hands on it but what the use of owning this piece of superiorly engineered device if 3G network is not available in China now?

    If 3G network is available, will M600i be able to work on China’s home-grown 3G network, TD-SCDMA?

  • Nintendo Wii

    After evaluating Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, I am very impress with the two next generation consoles. I am excited with the bells and whistles. Then I remember I forget to evaluate Nintendo Wii. How can I forget my favourite games Mario and Zelda that are available only on Nintendo platform.

    So I check out the Nintendo website and get more excited with their new controller that offer new ways of playing game.

    Nintendo says the Wii will be cheaper than X360. If I have to get another console, I will choose Wii over PS3. I do not have a HDTV to display the beautiful graphics PS3 has to offer. After all, I want to be entertained and not entertain.

    Two days after Sony launches Playstation 3, 19 November 2006, Nintendo will launch the new console Wii, pronounce as “we”.

  • Sony Playstation 3

    Next month, 17 November, just around the corner, Sony is launching Playstation 3 (PS3) in North America.

    I am very tempted to get a set for my living room. The launching price is at USD$600 really make one consider was it worth owning it.

    If I get myself a PS3, then I will get a Playstation Portable (PSP) as the companion. With such a good console sitting in my living room, I will be tempted to replace my old television with a HDTV to get the best visual effects.

    So what if i have the best graphical game and my PS3 is connected to a normal television. So a upgrade to a HDTV is a must.

    I will have to upgrade my sound system too to match all these great stunting graphics. Of course with such great entertainment, I need to get a nice comfortable sofa too. Wow! Seem like I am going to overhaul my living room.

    Since I already own a Xbox 360, I am in no rush to get another console. Most of the features available in PS3, I get it in my X360 and is cheaper.

    The only reason why I want a Sony Playstation 3 is to play my favourite game Metal Gear Solid.

  • Microsoft Xbox 360

    Two months ago, I signed up for SCV MaxOnline and got myself a Microsoft Xbox 360. It came with no game but with a twelve months subscription to Xbox Live.

    I was impressed with the console. Impressed maybe because it had been a few years since I put my hands on a console. The graphic was good and the game I played was entertaining. I got my Xbox 360 connected to the internet to see what is it all about. Nothing fancy or may be I had not come to use the full potential of it.

    I bought the console to Zhuhai and hope it will fill my boring time when I bored. When I got everything setup, the next thing I wanted to, was streaming video from Windows Media Centre to the Xbox 360.

    I realised Xbox 360 games in Singapore were limited and expensive. Hmm… perhaps it was time for me to mod my console.
