And nope, I haven’t give up on online privacy, although I feel that it’s getting harder and harder to be private online. A few keypoints that was mentioned during the interview but wasn’t printed. For example, I mentioned that you must approve your friends before they can see your location on Google Latitude. I only approve people whom I know. And since the location is not broadcast, I don’t see why its a online privacy issue.

Google Latitude is actually an useful tool. There won’t be any privacy issues if it is used correctly.

I wonder what is the article about. Earth hour I suppose. Maybe later go downstairs grab a copy.

Coincidentally, I posted a youtube video today morning on a balloon release event that went wrong, in a funny way.

When I got the papers, the first thing I did was to flip to page 3 to see my quotes. But I couldn’t find it. I thought Nicole make a mistake. Might be yesterday’s paper. So I MSN her to check. She confirm that it is Sunday’s paper. So I check the TNP again.

And there it is. 1 very very very small sentence. No wonder I couldn’t find it.

It’s about the blog entry on Singtel increasing the pricing for fixed telephone line.

It is sad that they decided to increase the pricing on a dying technology. Wouldn’t that kill the technology faster?

Another 5 second of fame. Almost missed it. Thanks to Nicole for the tip off.

Another 5 seconds of fame.

‘We, the consumers, can’t do anything because of the monopoly in the energy market. There is no alternative for us to switch to. There is no competition to keep prices in check. There is no motivation for (Singapore Power) to be more cost-effective.’

Straits Times didn’t inform me about this. I only got to know this today when I saw an incoming link from Singapore Power. It seems like the people from Singapore Powers are monitoring it now.

I hope they won’t cut off my power supply just because I complain about them. There is no alternative for me if they decided not to sell electricity to me. Oh shit. I’m in trouble now.

Hahaha…. Kidding kidding. Anyway, I repeat myself, it’s time to open up the energy market in Singapore.

Argh. I look ugly in that photo. Can’t they choose a better picture of me? (OK, on 2nd thought, it’s kinda hard to find a good photo of me.)

Don’t really like the captions below the picture. Oh well….. nvm.

Didn’t win anything. But the experience was great.

Below is my another 5 seconds of fame.

“I’m disappointed that we’ll be getting the phone after countries like Australia and Hong Kong,”

Singtel owns Optus, yet we are getting iPhone later than Australia. And we always like to compare ourselves with Hong Kong, which has a small population like us. Even Hong Kong is getting it on 11 Jul.

Quite a disappointment.

It looks like an advertorial by LG. And it’s just a small picture.
Can find me?

Spread the words: Bloggers are among the privileged guests to get a first look at Scarlet.

The interview was conducted thru phone. And I have to do the interview twice. Once for the Chinese paper side and the other for the English paper side. Both interview took roughly 10 minutes each. But as usual, only a short paragraph was printed.

Here is my 5 seconds of fame.

Mr Darryl Kang, 28, chief operating officer of Blog2U, hopes that Singtel will release this 3G version. “I held back on buying the iPhone for it,” he said.

Can’t copy the chinese text. It’s almost saying the same thing as the English version.

Anyway, I become “Apple Fa Shao You” aka “Apple Fever Friend”. Haha. OK, the translation says “Enthusiastic Fan”. I think the appropriate word would be “Fan boy” instead.

Many thanks to Uzyn and Cobalt Paladin for informing me that I was being mentioned on TechCrunch. I was at Millenia Walk’s coffee bean watching movie on my laptop and enjoying a cup of Mocha Latte when I got the twitter message. I could have gone to TechCrush TechCrunch straight away and impress the beautiful lady sitting next to me. But wireless@sg is, well, doing what most wireless@sg does. Unable to connect to internet even though I’m connected to the network. Sorry… I side tracked. Don’t get me started on wireless@sg….

It’s an honour to be mentioned on TechCrunch, the 4th most popular blog on Technorati. And I’m really flattered when they referred me as a ‘prominent blogger’. I’m floating already. AAAAHHHHH!!!! CELLING!! *BANG!!*

No lah, I’m not a prominent blogger. Still very far from it.

Another 5 second of fame this week. At this rate that I’m going, I think I’ll reach the 15 minutes of fame in a lifetime quota very soon.

I remember someone told me that only 2 Singapore companies have been mentioned on TechCrunch so far. Well, I guess we can consider Nuffnang as the 3rd now.

Update: The article has been translated to Japanese. Konichiwa!!!
