PC Show 09 For 20 Mins

Singapore Crowd

Went down to the PC Show at Suntec yesterday, 12/6/09, for around 20 mins or so. Went together with a bunch of friends with no intention or purpose of purchasing anything at all. We went there, because we were nearby and had nothing else to do at that point of time. From many of my previous experiences of IT Shows and show, crowd was a huge turnoff for me. Yesterday however, wasn’t too bad. Crowd was tolerable highly due to the timing we went (1pm afternoon) and the day (Friday, a weekday which also means a working day for adults).

Because we didn’t have anything to buy, the fair bored us very quickly. There was nothing new or anything interesting to look at, prices weren’t that cheap nor were they even cheap at the first place, and for me every corner and booth I went felt so familiar. This is due to me going to the previous IT Show earlier this year and the products that they were selling were almost exactly the same with that of the PC Show. Prices were almost the same as well.

20 mins or so of walking before we left as the crowd started to become an irritant to us. No point staying there anyways since I didn’t have any money to purchasing anything and that my computer is still fantastic up to date.

That is the PC Show for me. Nothing new, nothing exciting. Wasn’t hyped up one bit at all. Continue reading

Inspired Bicycles – Amazing Tricks

Filmed over the period of a few months in and around Edinburgh by Dave Sowerby, this video of Inspired Bicycles team rider Danny MacAskill (more info at www.dannymacaskill.com) features probably the best collection of street/street trials riding ever seen. There’s some huge riding, but also some of the most technically difficult and imaginative lines you will ever see. Without a doubt, this video pushes the envelope of what is perceived as possible on a trials bike.

Be prepared to be amazed.

Holidays! Woohoo… NOT

Homework Joys

Week 1 of holidays are about up and I ain’t liking it one bit. Spent almost the whole week going out meeting friends for project work and stuff. Stuff in other words school related work and very little connection or relation with anything that is fun. I’m glad that at least I started a little on my math (2 out of around 50 + questions?) and that is about it. Project work is currently on its way to… half-way completion. Yet to climb 10% of the homework mountain. 3 weeks remaining. ARGH!

Many will say, Continue reading

Britians Got Talent – Julian Smith

The music was fantastic.

Armed with just a saxophone he makes great music.

Usually you know that the music is good when your hair starts to stand in awe. As in that kind of feeling like some static charges just went by you or something.

Britian sure got loads of talent!

Music is “All by myself – Eric Carmen”

Enjoy!

sgBeat – Singapore Twitter

sgBeat LogoYet another local service has popped out. This time, it is a twitter clone. It works and serves the purpose of twitter. Of course, sgBeat caters mostly to the Singaporean users and its aims are that of introducing twitter to the Singapore netizens. Basically sgBeat is a twitter clone which links to twitter. Instead of “twitting”, you “beat” like how your heart would. I guess it means that you can write whatever you are feeling at that very moment so on and so forth. Instead of being a bird, you become a heart. How cool is that! Features are exactly similar to that of twitter with nothing out of the ordinary except the fact that by “beating” at sgBeat you have the ability to send that to twitter as well. This is rather smart in my opinion as Singaporean users will have little to complain or anything as sgBeat would serve as yet another twitter cilent thereabouts while giving them the ability to communicate with local twitters.

The Moment of Truth

Gotten back my results. Guess I did okay, not too good nor really too bad. But the results aren’t something I should really be proud of or whatsoever. Glad I didn’t fail any of my subjects, did poorly on papers which I felt was surprisingly easy, did averagely on paper I felt was normal, managing a pass for papers which I felt hard. Here the subjects and their respective grades: Continue reading
