Really neglected the blog for like the pass one year. I felt miserable for failing to update my blog, which were once like a commitment I did weekly. Blame it on my work, nothing really interesting to blog nowaday. My phone had not been taking picture like they did last time. Actually my phone didn't take any photo at all.

I want to change another way of blogging. Don't want to post food and place anymore. Now I want it to be thoughts provoking entries.

Okie, update for my life. For past 3 months, I had been working hard at work, explored the option of entrepreneur with a join venture. Failed. Now trying to clear stock with buddy's help. Set up an online store.  Watch 百里挑一， 谁能，survivor season 23. Oh btw, I hope ozzy can win one time this round. Coach, suck balls.   

This 2 got together today, which I think is very fake. Don't know why. I think the guy is lame.

Toast Master Project 2: Organising your speech

I thought I am able to pull off the prepared speech unprepared. I was assuming I could flow out my presentation impromptu for project 2. Seem I had overestimated. In reality, my content flew left right center, all over the shop. Got myself a recorder standing of 36 false filler for the evening. I was so engrossed in my thoughts I didn't realise my time had exceed 7 minutes, and I was still carried on and on. Until the 3 repeated bells then I realised that I exceed the allowable timing by 1:42s.

Nevertheless, I am grate I went through, although I had to redo project 2. Thanks Sam, my mentor for the motivation. He's my role model sia, within 1 year already managed to attain ACB. Thanks Peter Lee was the motivational speech on "just do it", thanks Jimmy on the "pursue of happiness" that taught me the moment of life is to have fun at that moment, "Why So Serious".

If anyone interested to see my unfinished speech, that I brought up to stage on my Samsung I9000 screen:

Are they for real. It looks so easy.

Take a look at Richard, not being mean or anything, but kissing a girl like this. You must be kidding. Anyway, Richard happens to be my favorite geek for "Beauty and the Geek" Season 1. Oh, just so happen that I love Mindi too :) Her beauty isn't just skin deep, beyond her skin she is quite intellectual and composed. Is this world fair? Is smart and beautiful even legal together?

I am totally hook onto reality TV. Those who know me, knew. Survivor, Hell Kitchen, Amazing Race, Fear Factor, Beauty and the Geek. I mean my point is I am really into reality TV. So what so compelling for me to RTV. Okie. Just like what you can't get in your own reality, you would like to see others have it in their reality. So that it reminds us, life is not so damn hopeless. When I can point my finger at someone and say: "See, Richard that freak gets to make out with Mindi. So why not me?"

These little hopes keep life burning.

Fuzzy Logic vs Artificial Neural Network Real life examples

To I will be talking about Android. No the next big thing from Google to counter on Apple IOS, rather its authentically refers to the artificial intelligence of robots. You heard of the 3 laws? I picked that up from Irobot by Wills Smith. I didn't thought the 3 laws mentioned is actually documented as literature for robots design in the real world.

//

1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2) A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Sharp 940sh, BB flip 8220, N8 Belle

There is risk in doing everything. Business investment or decision but its all about risk management. I love my new risk, exotic mobile collection. Iys like my life is on the line, a signal loss will lock up the Jap phone.

  
 

Sharp 940sh release in dec 2010. Totally killed N8 split second. Unforunately, media is locked down, gonna go unlock it by experts. Will this be an investment?

Finally hacked my N8 with Belle after a long thought. So unlock N8 to its full potential and I ask, is N8 xenon flash really worth me going this long a way? I thought no. N82 still ultimate and N8 still hasn't manage to replace my N82. Still love it.
 

Someone gave this Jap phone to me.



So now i am a official flip phone fanboy.

Now BB flip 8220. Finally I see some remarkable flips. With 3.5mm thats awesome, surprise to find stereo speaker loud and crisp, its almost the N95 level 85% as loud. Built in Wifi a big
Plus and music playback is Dr Dreably good. Remarkable. I hate its suretype keypad, its battery life and its camera. Or it lags too.

Ernest and I smelling fishy. Can we pull off??? Ciao night.

Strangers, again

Every relationship goes through stages. Where and how each stage develops is ultimately up to each person. While we always hope for the best, we often can't avoid the inevitable.

Very nice production, supports

Travelling alone in KL

Sitting in the pub alone in KL is a strange feeling. Seldom I get to have this kinda alone time. The experience to travel alone to unknown places is a mixed bag. I am excited and scared at the same time. I felt aslept in the bus to KL and woke up to realise half of the bus were gone!!! Looking around for familiar face, none!' i panicked to look around for sign, none shown to KL. I was like thinking, are they on the way to penang or something?? Kan jiong de yao si. Found out there were several drop off point and i had yet reach time square.

Finally cao yuan reached time square. Then i had a good time walking around to find the capsule hotel. By then it was already 1 plus. So i walked around, finally settle myself into one Oasis pub. Finally familiar chinese faces :)

Butterfly metamorphosing

Life is beautiful and great by its own entity.



A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly.
He took a pair of scissors and
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but
it had a swollen body and shriveled wings.

Toastmaster Project 1 : Ice breaking

Ice breaker

Hi, a very good evening madam president, fellow toast master and friend. My name is Gary. Today I will be doing my first project. “Ice breaking”. Okie to start off, let me point out one mistake a lot of people is making, … unintentionally. My name Gary is spelt as G A R Y and not G A R R Y. Let me teach you a way to remember it, just remember this 4 words “Girl always remember you”. You take out the first letter of each word, that make up my name.

For my today’s project I will be telling you what I had done in the past, what I am doing now and what I am going to do in the next future. Basically it will be like a fast track short story of my life in 6 minutes and under.

Doing Table Topic

Yesterday went for second session of toastmaster, schedule were as usual. Prepare speeches to evaluation to table topic. I guess the only involvement was the self introduction and table topic. Second session but I have been volunteering table topic for both session. Something to be proud of. People were saying I am very courageous and motivated to learn.
I drink too much coffee that afternoon, getting all rowdied and restlessed. Butterflies in stomach and heart pounching really fast.

Table topic was hard. Question : “If music are to be in human voice, it shall not exist in the first place”. I don’t think I understood the sentence then and till now I don’t think I quite get what it is trying to say.

I always got those hard and irrelevant topics, where I can’t apply my experience in life. So had to threw out trash. I think I didn’t do as well as the previous attempt, I rate myself 6/10. I construct was all over the place, idea were not conise and lack the punch line. I had 13 false-filler where 5 were “eh/ah” and 3 “so” etc. Displayed nervousness was 8/10. Bernard said he didn’t sense that I am nervous. I didn’t know whether to believe him or not.

I am going to crash other club with Bernard and Sam soon. I have to wait for 2 more months to do my first project. I am glad I paid for the membership and did 2 table topic, show that I am committed to improve my public speaking. All of the best of being MC for Lilian’s wedding 

Word for the day: Inimitable = Unparrellable

Workplace interpersonal skill at MIS

Attended the "workplace interpersonal skill" workshop at MIS. Special thanks for the trainer Celiecia, for being so motivating and encouraging. She helped me to open up and unleashed my true nature.

Sucess in a way I built rapports with everyone including the trainer. I felt appreciated. Some of the remarks were as followed.

"-its fun to have u in the class
-i liked ur working attitude
-u have to work on ur spelling"

"hi gary, i liked the way u present your problems at ur workplace. U are so direct and honest. U have the potential to do a higher level of job. Keep it up"

"like: you are a joker
Dislike: be confidence"

"be focus
Good out going nature"

"evina and gary are outspoken persons. They are sharing their views in the class which is very useful"

" -A fun person to work with
- be sensitive to others"

" i liked the way he made the whole class laugh with his humor"

These are small annoymous notes circulating at the end of lesson for reflection and they made the whole course worthwhile.

The night didn't end here. Being so motivated, I went to Toast Master queenstown division the second time. Back to back, enroll a member and took up Table topic for the night. Straight away present can.

So the impromptu topic was; What is the different between a wild beast and an evil friend. Wild beast endangered your life while evil friends endangered your soul.

Surprisingly, my "ah" counter was no bad at all. Perfect score for "ah/eh". Couple of "em", "so" and repetitive words. Overall, grading 6/10. I did okie but not great.

A small reunion talk as I bumped into Maggie for spear Coy. Maggie is a guy so Liping do not worry :)

总要在雨天

I always have a thing for oldies. Some songs will just trigger my sense of nostalgia, just like a time machine sending me back to the past. While listening to my favorite oldies, time stops and I will have the moment to smell the flowers or appreciate small little things around me.

Song 总要在雨天 brings me back to age 5. To marina square bowling ally with mum, dad, 4th uncle and aunty. I still remember the arcade game vougely. The sandwhich and coffee, like I still able to taste them right now. Although I do not deny all sandwhiches and coffee tastes similar.

For those that this song plays significant. Lay back and enjoy.

Saturday late night - X-men

Saturday night was great. For so long we didn't have the chance to walk each other side by side and talks on topic that randomly comes to mind. Its an romantic Saturday night.



Met at 10pm at summer set 313, walking just aimlessly to and fro. Could have met qinghe they all, but in the end still decided to spend with each other. Walk 20 minutes to Cathay to look for 24hours starhuck and endes up watching X-men. Show ended at 3am and we had green tea latte while playing bug village on ipad.

Cab home and spent somemore quanity time together and installing other games on ipad and iphone. Haha. I enjoyed this Saturday night.

Collaboration of the past May '11

You know what? I going to call it the "collaboration" from now on. Its getting harder to keep me with my blog, so I am going to blog using the "lump sum" basis. It will be labelled as "collaboration". Now, I will keep it real short and sweet;

Didi, Ethan's GF came to town



Ethan's GF all the way flew from Korean to Singapore, and they are now travelling to and fro each other country on a 3 month basis. This time around Didi is sticking around for 1 and a half month here. We are please to show her around Singapore.

First trip, we travel her to JB, Liping having breakfast at Woodland center and latter they took picture at the custom check point.

Taken in City square's starbucks where we had our donuts as tea break.

Second trip went up to MBS for shopping. It will be the very first experience for all of us. And basically, its like shopping at Paragon. We can only do window shopping. I remember I had tea break at one of the cafe and it costs me 20buck for a cup of coffee and some cakes :(

Third trip, went to long beach at East coast, to fix my craving for crabs.

The crab is around 800g that costs us $46/kg. The claws are big. However, I recommend the coffeeshop near Ethan house. Their crab there is almost as big or not bigger than long beach :)

When to Tawandang, Didi is an extreme drinker. Being a Korean, its no big deal since their sake there is cheaper than water.

Mobile Log March

It has been getting harder and harder to blog regularly, hasn't it. Since work, I have no luxury of time to be by my own, pondering over stuffs. Although not back to back busy, but just something there to distract me enough to neglect my blog. I do not want to end this legacy that I have been holding on for so long.

So I might have to "tweak" around for another solution. Blogging within 160 letters, like how twitter works. But using my Samsung Wave S8500. A wonderful application called Dairy.

A day with egg tarts and Sashimi

One fine day with the urge to eat egg tart, so jio CLP to run "around" Singapore to grab some nice bite. Head down to Chinatown to eat "Dong Heng" Egg tart. Got lost a little and finally found it opposite the Hindu Temple the Mei Si Jie.

So after getting my fix. I crave for a up of coffee, without much of a choice in Singapore, reluctantly went to Chinatown Point to get coffee bean tea latte. Suck cock. Totally taste like puke from yesterday night. Starbuck jitao dominate the green tea latte. 

 Went into people's park to see some kitchen product demo, a juice and blender mixer. Well turn back once we realize the price to be $69.90. After that hunt around and then got hungry again. CLP suggest to get some Sashimi. So with my Iphone hunt down the popular jap restaurant Ikoi. Daily Sashimi buffet at $45 nett. Inclusive of payable tax and compulsory tip. 7% + 10%. GE2011 coming and I am going to vote for SDP if any as their shadow budget promise to reduce tax to 0% for daily basis item :)

At Miramar Hotel, bus 64 direction back to home

Free flow of Sashimi and we had something like 4 sets
