Comex 2008

Just came back from Comex 2008. Nearly no time to go. Any way, I got nothing in mind and company my friend to go. This time I think the crowd management is slightly better. I did not trapped in any human jams. There are more walking space. This time round not many things got my attention. Just saw some nice gadgets I might be buying in next show. Like BlueAnt Supertooth 3. This bluetooth handset looks good. Nothing to stick into you ears and it is voice recognition. But too bad did not ask for the price as my friend walked quite fast. But I suspect the price should be in $150 region. Walked 2 levels and finally bought a mobile TV set holder for my car. Haha.

Great service from Kinokuniya

Today I went to Orchard Kinokuniya. I usually wun frequent book stores as I feel the books there are expensive. I was browsing around and saw this nice service provided by Kinokuniya. Ok, I might a bit mountain turtle. There is this computer station which allows you to search for books that is in stock in the book stores and you can print out the map that points you to the right direction!! This is great!

Singapore Flyer




There is a guest in town lately. He is a professor from Harvard which I invite to our company for a talk. As a host, I bring him to some places of interests as this is the first time he is here. So I brought him to Singapore Flyer. This ferry wheel is currently the largest in the world surpassing London Eye and stands at 165m. It costs $29.50 and will take about 30 mins for one round. So it is average $1 per minute. After the ride, I feel it is ok only. Maybe should visit at night where it is cooler and have a beautiful view. Or wait for the casino to be ready and the view should be more spectacular.

Today I have a huge presentation. I need to present in front of my company. The notice came quite late. Only 2 weeks. You might think 2 weeks? A lot of time what! But this time, the presentation needs to have a lot of market info and reports which are very difficult to come by. Any way, I worked till 1am every night just for the collection of info and data mine those info into useful data. Dun even have time to blog. But it is worth cos today everything went very smoothly!! Hee... Finally can sleep early tonight.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I just came back from watching The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I feel this show is not as nice the previous two. The new wife lacks of chemistry with the lead male. The son is a bit too old to call them father and mother. Very not suitable. Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh have only a little bit of screen time. Mainly at the starting and ending. The Shanghai part also not realistic. Too modern. Looks like this era. The special effects a bit too computer for the monsters. Overall, only one word: disappointing.

The X Files: I Want To Believe

I just back from watching The X Files: I Want to Believe. I seldom watch the TV series so dunno what the whole series talk about. But roughly I know it is about Aliens. Overall, I feel that this show is ok only. This time round there are no aliens which I feel a bit sian and this movie actually got some ending. Haha. Mulder and Scully still looks good. Although many talking, I feel not boring but story not as exciting and not so mystery.
