Apple Inc: iPad

a table computer? Hmmm, I thought I've seen that somewhere. Steve Jobs recently announced this Ipad and telling the media how impressive it was. 'It was the best browsing experience you ever had.' He told the audience. Erm....sure.....if you say so, Mr. Jobs

There are a lot of people amused with the name. Pad? sanitary pad? bra pad?

If you read the Today newspaper, some twitter users joked that, ' the bleeding edge of technology may be able to cure "iCramps" and will protect your data from "embarrassing incidents". Others include, "iPad. Like a tampoon. Only more expensive."

Alright, jokes aside. If this product was successful then you know who will get the last laugh.

Check out the details of iPad below.

I'm not a fan of apple's stuff however this one maybe interesting. Ingenious or tacky? You decide !

iPad will be available international soon.

PS: Will you buy an iPad ?

Blast From The Past: 25 Random Things About Singapore Youth

Today, our ang moh lecturer share with us past articles that he find interesting or somethin' (forgive me, I wasn't really listening well) Anyway, He shows us this on the slides.

25 Random Things About Singapore Youth, It was from this guy named Dr Reimold, 28, who is a Fulbright research fellow serving as a visiting scholar at Nanyang Technological University. So Lets check out what he feel or observed about the youth in Singapore.

1.They speak to me softly in perfect English, then turn around and scream in Singlish to their friends.

2.They SMS with a speed and frequency that makes my own thumbs sore from sympathy pains.

3.They admit they are apathetic, and speak about it passionately.

4.They complain about the lack of culture on their school campuses, then immediately go back to studying.

5.They wear their emotions and intentions on their chests in the form of T-shirt sayings. A few of my favourites: ‘Little Miss Giggles’, ‘I SMS Your Mum’ and ‘Are We Having Any Fun?’

6.They are extremely quiet in class, but downright chatty one-on-one.

7.They love David Beckham. They lust after George Clooney.

8.Apparently, procreation is not their forte. At this point in their lives, they could not care less.

9.Marriage is not yet on most of their minds. Instead, they say they want to keep getting red packets of some kind.

10.Romance is not an art many young males here have mastered. I recently overheard two young women complaining that their boyfriends had surprised them on Valentine’s Day with gifts – a schoolbag and an external hard drive.

11.They are incredibly, falsely, modest. They know they rock. Just don’t tell them to their face. They’ll look at you like you insulted their mother.

12.They are way too polite. I asked a young woman to take my picture in front of the Merlion. After she snapped the shot, she thanked me – apparently for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to capture me on film.

13.Speaking of photos, they pose for them everywhere. I recently saw a group of students smile for multiple pictures with their taxi driver at Clarke Quay. He was smiling too. The meter was running.

14.A few engage in ’serious blogging’, but most just blog about their friends and pets and upload pictures of last night’s dinner.

15.They are very productive during classes – at catching up with friends on MSN Messenger and updating their Facebook status.

16.They remain sceptical of their country’s growing global status, often asking me ‘Why would you want to come here?’

17.They already express nostalgia for days gone by, at the ripe old age of 17.

18.The few young men who have long hair seem to be teased mercilessly by friends, and hit on frequently by strangers.

19.They catch catnaps at the most unlikely locations – bus stops, campus canteens, even the school library.

20.Their eyes have a tint of worldliness to them, especially the young men who have been through national service.

21.They passionately watched something called ‘The Little Nyonya’ until recently, but not all will admit it publicly.

22.They think it is funny that Singapore has a professional basketball team.

23.They love their parents, but they definitely do not tell them everything.

24.They love to dance …

25.But it does not mean they have rhythm.

6,10, 11, 15 are hilarious and no.7 is not really true. (George? really?)

So thats what his opinions about youth in here.

What do you think? (ps: say somethin on the tagboard le, its getting ancient day by day)

The Return Of The Magazines Slut part 2

Magazines, Magazines, Magazines. I love to read magazines. They provide me so much useful essential information about anything,

from celebrities trivia to entertainment news, from beauty tips to health tips and more.......

This week I-weekly features the handsome Elvin Ng half-naked hugging a bear on the cover. ( erm...lets just not talk about that)

Cleo magazines features songbird Lenka on the cover and adding special issue of Cleo Man. Very informative and interesting.

8days has Lady Gaga photo pasted on the cover and talks about her transition from hippie chick to costume hugging lady.

So much magazines to read, o well....at least I do read.

Every post, I always kind of 'advertise' for people, be it a game, movie or Tv shows....and nope I did not get paid for it. Right, maybe they should pay me ~ ( it takes a lot of time and effort to update your blog, especially mine )

The magazines above are available islandwide now.

L4d 2

School sian, project even more sian, Exam three times the sian. To sum up, life is really sianz.

Sometimes we want more excitement in life. There's goota be more to life, other than eat, sleep and do nothing.

Luckily for some of us, we find excitement in virtual life. And for me, L4d2 is my companion.

L4d was good, L4d 2 was great....it was enhanced but definitely can be further improve.

Of course it was boycotted not long ago due to the angry buyers of L4d. Its like today they bought L4d and the next day L4d 2 come out. Furthermore, theres so little maps in l4d and not to mention the same old guns. That goota be Sux sux sux.

O well, whatever done is done. L4d 2 pre-ordered sales was 300% greater than l4d, it became the fastest selling product in Valve company's history. With more than 2 millions retailed copies were sold in 2 weeks. Impressive indeed.

I've been playing l4d2 since last year Nov, yeah that's how fast I get the game and been making a lot of friends online and was invited to European steam group. I usually played Versus mode with my friends.

Anyway, I came across this medkit hoodie From Valve stores. I'm sure Ranald will love it and I love it too. It came in 2 colours, white and grey. I prefer the grey ones, they won't get dirty easily.

The merchandise sells for US $39.95. I'm not sure it will ship internationally but this hoodie really cool.

L4d 2 has a total of 5 maps and will be adding a few more maps in the mid 2010.

Melee weapons, New guns, New healing items, New New infected characters, New survivor characters. What more can you ask ?

L4d 2 is now in stores across Islandwide.

To join me bashing zombies and axing infected characters.

Add in me in your steam's friendlist, My nick is xiao fen.

Ps: If you do not have Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz, don't play the game.

A 'Taxing' Ride

I'm always taking taxi to school these days zzz, o.well..I wanted to take the bus but unfortunately I'm running late as usual.

I boarded a taxi and hoping that I can reach school on time.

Along the long journey, the uncle was coughing profusely and...its not a mild cough but rather a long cough just like the journey.

Er...I was like panic a little bit, erm... ( I was trying to roll down the glass window a little but failed disastrously) Er...to me his cough sounds like he can transmit some sort of air-borne virus.

Then, he went on to tell a joke about something' which I really don't get it (Read: Not funny).

And he went on and on and on ......

The usual kind me, of course trying to fake out some laugh and pretend to enjoy his jokes.

It was one of those moments that you wish that you could teleport away from the scene.

To most passengers, we just wish we can reach to the destination effectively and efficiently.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Journey entertainment? not necessary, really.

TV Funny Moments :Ellen Degeneres show - 'Bop it' game

Skip to 1;29,

The girl whispers: I didn't shave

Ellen amplified her voice: YOU Didn't shave? Okay,

Audience: LAugh OUT loud

Lol, this girl so hilarious and plain honest. She must have known that she is in national TV and it airs in HD format and she's too shy to show her unshaven legs.

I mean how hairy can she get? lol, Then again the show airs in high definition format. Even a small flaw can be seen so clearly.

Ellen replies: See, you never know what is going to happen, always shave ! lol

Anyway, Check out this game called 'Bop it' as shown above, its fun and I would say 'family-kids friendly'. I'm not sure whether it is being sold here but I think Toy 'R' Us should have.

PS: will you play 'Bop it' ?

Cruel Temptation

I'm currently watching this Korean drama, its one of the highly watched dramas in South Korea. I'm loving it so much !

Everyday I would rush home and catch this drama which airs on Channel U at 7pm. My school ends at 6;30 (traffic is crazily hectic at this hour). Nevertheless, I would run home literally just to watch the drama and this prove how good this drama is lol.

Its basically about this woman named Encai who is married to a good-for-nothing husband, even though her husband's family is wealthy but Encai is treated badly. One day, her husband is having an affair with her jealous best friend, Aili.

Long story short, Aili teamed up with Encai's husband and abandoned the drowning Encai at the sea. Of course both evil couple keep mum about it and lying to everyone that Encai had committed suicide.

Just when they thought she had died.....she was saved by this very handsome JianYou....and from then on...she swore by she will seek out revenge against her ex-husband and Aili. Vengeance is the only word engrave in her heart.....she completely transformed herself from a stayed home housewife to a professional make-up artist and a talented professional woman.

I'm still watching the show right now, anticipated how she seek out her revenge. She suffered so much pain, even lost her baby and almost drown tragically at the sea.....

I'm fascinated by how she is standing up again and transformed herself into a really multi-talented woman. Finally, she's now returning back to her ex-husband and wanted to destroy him and the evil Aili.

An eye for an eye, and arm for an arm.
Revenge is indeed a dish best served cold.

The Real game starts now.......

Innocents and Naive: Encai thought she had married the right guy

Now, She's ready to pay all the sufferings back to them !

This drama reminds me of the movie Sympathy for Lady Vengeance



But of course, the movie ones are more sick sick sick.

Cruel Temptation Or Temptation of Wife now airs on Channel U monday to friday at 7pm slot.

Happy New Year !

Happy New year people !!!

Sigh, time passes so fast.

The next thing you know, its year 2010.

Yesterday, Chris comes over to my place to countdown with me and my maid.

So the 3 of us were like watching the TV and countdown jadedly.

Perhaps Chris is very tired due to his OT and Me myself getting sleepy due to the heavy food we ate at the Swensens. Lets just say, I ordered a lot of foods.

After that, Chris made me a special drinks, It was Vodka mixed with F&N orange, green tea and sprite. A very confusing drinks indeed.

We drank, and played cards and I suddenly laugh uncontrollably, maybe I was intoxicated by the Vodka. It was really scary to laugh like that. We both played very interesting card games, it was really amusing and funny.

I enjoyed playing the 'Guess what card it is' game. If we guess incorrectly, we have to drink up. It was fun.

Finally, we played DOTA 1v1(fortunately, I have my old desktop and my own laptop), Uther Party and Pudge Wars. It was a friendly match. Anyway, It was really fun to play in local area network mode.

Well that's how I spend the new year eve.

PS:What did you do during the new year eve?
