Nah, this is not some new word. It’s an art installation by Health Promotion Board for the World Mental Health Day in October.
The 20m by 3m art installation, entitled “Smile”, is made out of ice and resin, intersperses the word “Smile” and “Frown”. The word “Frown” is made of ice and will melt away [...]
12 years ago, Blizzard Entertainment launched the successful StarCraft. I still remember being hooked on the game, spending hours at home playing mission after mission. I also remember playing StarCraft with my friend in poly and avoiding sysadmin. Those were the days. StarCraft is one of the best real-time strategy game for me.

One of the highlights for the Navy Open [...]
LG recently launched their INFINIA series TV in Singapore. No prize for guessing that they are 3D TVs during the launch.
LG calls it BORDERLESS design. But before you start buying 9 55inch to form a huge screen, let me say that there is still a bezel at the side. But credits to LG for [...]
Visited Universal Studio Singapore last Thursday. Was invited by Canon to try out their latest point and shoot camera. I got to try out their Canon IXUS 210. It’s a pretty lightweight camera, just 160g. What I like about the camera is the 3.5 inch touchscreen. Touchscreen makes the controls very straight forward and easy. [...]
