My Customary Once A Year Post

As above. Yup. =) Gonna graduate soon. Hopefully.

My Welcome

Ohai, reading through this blog again has been a really really interesting experience. I love how the Internet has made all these "memories" last forever. I'm still not going to update the blog regulary though. Maybe when I have more free time... Haha

My Results

Praise God from whom, all blessings flow~~~

Man haven't seen these kinds of marks since uhm primary school LOL!

My Germs

"Ich kann kein Deutsch sprechen aber English" which translates to "I can't speak German only English". Lol its fun having international friends :)

My Sixth Sense

Holy crap! Talk about pervasive information services. Man these guys at MIT are like freaking smart man. I'd suggest you go through the whole video plus the explanation but if you can't be bothered (cbb) then just skip over to about the 3:10 mark where the demo begins.

My Tweets For The Day

• Just finished my laundry for the week. Hanging it out in the sun was like trying to play dodgeball. Had to dodge the sun beams! *
• Interesting. A quintet for church. 1 pianist, 1 organist, 1 violinist and 2 clarinet-ist(?) *

My Palm P(t)RE(e)

I have never been as excited -nor will I be as disappointed if it doesn't work- for a smartphone/mobile phone than this. Ladies and gentlemen, meet The Palm Pre (It rhymes with Tree if you didn't know that already :P).

Check out the whole in-depth impressions of it after the jump.

My World 2

Another quote of the frickin' day! For *SOME* of the *WIDESPREAD* issues (allegedly) with Macs that you see on Mac forums....

Looks around emergency room: "Oh my God! Everyone's sick. We're doomed!"

Priceless!

My Welcome, and Goodbye

Well 2008 has officially passed and as we usher in the new year, I would like to spend some time to reflect on the year that was 2008.

2008 was a good year for me. Well mostly, that is. It was a year of great changes and new experiences. It was a year where I learnt a lot of things. Not only academically but also life-lessons, what it means to be an adult, and not forgetting spiritual lessons as well.

2008 was the year that I finished my tertiary education. Where I graduated to move on to the next phase of my life. It was also the year when I learnt the intricacies of human relationships and I'm still quite perplexed with it but hey, life goes on. You live, and you learn. It was a year of ups and downs. Of really being able to see God's hand moving and guiding me along the path in which I should take. It was a year of rekindling old friendships, of forging new ones. Of learning how important family is and how at the end of it all, family is really all you have.

And so now that 2009 is here, and the horizons are open to me once more. I can't help but wonder what lies ahead of me. As I push ahead to whatever it is I'm supposed to do, I can only hope and pray that the Lord will continue to guide and provide me strength to go through the year 2009.

Here's to a great 2009! :)

My ChucK

Look at what I've discovered by accident. And its perfect for me too. Now I will be able to fuse both my love for programming/computers with my love for music. Its a new concept if you will. A new programming language called ChucK. Made by this guy called Ge Wang who, like me, was also fascinated and passionate about both Computer Science and Music.

According to the website at chuck.cs.princeton.edu, ChucK is a strongly-typed, strongly-timed, concurrent audio and multimedia programming language. It is compiled into virtual instructions, which is immediately run in the ChucK Virtual Machine.

It also features on-the-fly programming which means you can manipulate code and see the effects immediately without shutting down or restarting or recompiling. Very nice concept.

Here's a video demo of what might be. Its still under active development and many of the tools are in alpha or pre-alpha phase (Read: Not ready for human consumption... Yet...)

My Christmas

Somehow this year, I have no Christmas spirit. No holiday cheer nothing. Maybe its because I know that in a short time I will be leaving all that I know and love and moving to "seek my fortune" as my dad puts it, in "greener pastures". Yes I am somehow melancholic and have a feeling that whatever I do now won't mean a thing since I will be gone anyway, but somehow I still try. I've been dreaming a lot lately which is something I rarely do (or at least I don't usually remember my dreams) which is, to me at least, indicative of stress. I guess when its all said and done time will tell.

On a side note, here's an interesting twist to the Mac vs. PC argument. What if they were transformers hell bent on smashing each other up. LOL.

That said however, I do wish you all a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year from the bottom of my heart :D

My Treachery

Ok now this may sound amazing and so stupid that its beyond comprehension but I kind of miss having to baby-sit a windows machine. Being a Mac user these 2 years has really been smooth. So smooth that I hardly ever have problems with my computer. It is, in fact. Boring. Yeah sure having windows run inside a virtual machine can sometimes perk me up, but where's the fun in that? Where's the excitement? The risk of totally bricking your machine, the danger of losing *ALL* your precious work/movies/music/photos/etc? None, gone, zip, nada! Sigh... Anyone want to buy me one of those small netbooks for Christmas? :P

My Geeky-ness

This cracked me up. Its a real geek post so "normal people" if you're bored, I understand :)

My Updates

Ok I know this blog has been left to languish. And whatever small readership I had has probably already petered away but meh. I am soldering on! Here's what happened recently on a trip to Malacca. (Ps: The management is not responsible for involuntary laughter and/or spewing of fluids from ones mouth.)

My 15 Seconds

Okay maybe it was shorter than that but as part of being "Mac Evangelists" this past week end The Chay and I were both interviewed by NST. Check it out here. Click on "Mac + iPod Discovery Week" on the top right corner.

My Minority...

...Report? Haha, anyone still remember the cool computer interface that Tom Cruise used in Minority Report? Well it seems that one of the science advisors from that movie actually teamed up with a few other equally crazy people and have created the same interface that we saw. Damn cool!

My Digital Meets Real-Life

Ever wondered what Photoshop would look like in real life? Well wonder no more. There's a whole Flickr gallery devoted to "rendering" how Photoshop would look like in real life. Check it out!

Here's a preview of the final product.



The gallery can be found here. Coincidentally its done by some Indonesian chaps. Mighty impressive!

My Inquisitive Inquisitor

Okay so maybe I am running out of titles to use. But cut me some slack people it ain't easy to use one theme of title only you know lol. And yes I have cheated along the way so bluek! Anyhoo, I have some awesome news. Well awesome to me because this is something which has made me switch back and forth between Safari and Firefox for like a very long time. Well starting from today, I can safely choose one because *drum roll* the very useful addon called Inquisitor is now a Firefox addon too! Seriously you have to use it to understand why its so damn good but once you do, you'll wonder how the heck you were searching before this. Its that good. Anyway, head on over to Mozilla's Addons site to get it Inquisitor Addon for Firefox. You can thank me later :)

Oh by the way, this is what it looks like.

As a side-note I'm using something called Glims over on Safari's side. Check it out here at www.machangout.com
