I honestly don’t remember any Miss World Singapore that creates so much debate. I think it all started with the RazorTV interview. Yes, I have to agree that her English standard isn’t the best. But who says that Miss World Pageant must speak perfect English.
And honestly, is she always like that or just like [...]

I don’t really know much about Alan Turing. But I’m sure most IT people would have heard of his name. Those who study about artificial intelligence will surely hear of Turing Test.
Besides Turing Test, he also devised a number of techniques for breaking German ciphers during World War II. Without him, the war might [...]

The latest figure from the Department of Statistics is worrying. Singapore’s population reaches 4.99 million at the end of June 2009. 3.73m are Singapore residents and 1.25m are non-residents.
That means 75% of the total population on this island are Singapore Residents. But here is the scary part. By Singapore Resident, they mean Singaporeans and [...]

I was invited by Lenovo to watch the Singapore Grand Prix Friday practice session at the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Paddock Club. It was a great experience. Good food, great drinks and one of the best view of the race. The Paddock Club is located right next to the race starting line, above the pit stop. [...]

Here is a video made by the police in UK to be shown to school kids. It’s to educate them the danger of texting while driving. Pretty realistic I must say.

One new “feature” of the new EZ-Link card is that there is no more deposit. Remember in the past when we have [...]

Got a chance to tour the F1 Rocks backstage on Tuesday. Unless you have been living under the rock (pun intended), you would know that F1 rock is a three-day music festival held at Fort Canning Park, Singapore. Megastars like Jacky Cheung, A-Mei, No Doubt, The Black Eyed Peas, Beyonce and many more will be [...]

Read about my mission plan here.
Before I send the (badly abused) Nokia E51 for repair, I called up Nokia customer service hotline to confirm if the damage is repairable by their service centre. I was surprised that there is virtually no waiting time on the phone. I explained the problem to the customer service [...]

Met up with the folks behind GEMS (Go The Extra Mile For Service) regarding a new campaign that they are doing. It’s called Are you being served. Its a blog that investigates the service standard in Singapore by getting people to be “mystery shoppers”. It sounds fun, so I decided to take up the task.
