I am typig on my brand new wireless Logitech keyboard and using the wireless mouse that comes with it too. Hadn't realized how small and cramped my laptop keyboard was until this gift came in. My arms and fingers are more stretched out... IT FEELS GREAT!!

The keyboard also has all these nifty hotkeys to help you be more efficient, especially if you're a hotkey kinda person (i.e. you don't like to keep moving your right hand from your keyboard to your mouse and you prefer to use combination of a few buttons on your keyboard to achieve the same results…

Critical mass

F and I decided to start throwing some frisbee. We both kinda know how to play, but we're no where near professional. Found a great pitch though.

Thought it would be nice to get a group going, been trying for the past month and a half. We really struggled at first, 5 people, 6. Yesterday, we got 11. YES! Finally some action :)

Great weather too. Sunny. Might start getting incredibly hot but then I'm just happy that we're getting this going. Now if we can just hit 14 for a 7 aside game.

Wow, finally got around to watching Susan Boyle's performance of I Dreamed a Dream on Britain's Got Talent. Geez, that was a lovely and incredible. Talk about something bring a smile to your face. Wow. :)

Pitching

This week I was busy preparing for to present our company's projects to a visiting Dutch delegation. They were on tour in China to get a feel of the country, the market, and visit some companies, and I was contacted to see if our company would like to present on Friday (yesterday).

They wanted to hear from a foreign investor's perspective what it was like to deal in China, things to look out for, lessons learnt and so on. They also were interested in companies pertaining to new media and so we offered to introduce 2 of our projects to them.…

Scrubbed clean

I finally got my act together and got an electric toothbrush. Man, I should have done it a long time ago. My teeth now have this really nice and clean feeling after using the electric toothbrush. I now feel like, how could I have held out for so long?

So about a week after my first brush, my toothbrush started being funky like its motor was working in spurts or something. I was a bit surprised at first, wondering why an braun/oral-b product would be like that. Then I realized its battery was almost flat and so I charged it. Now…

The F1 Grand Prix

noreply@blogspirit.com (mashie) — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 15:50:00 +0800

For the first time in a very long time I sat down to watch the F1 Grand Prix on Sunday night. It was the British Grand Prix and Kimi Raikkonen, Finnish, representing Ferrari, won. Yay!

I started following the F1 Grand Prix when I was in college. During summers when I was back home, my dad and I would plunk down on the sofa in front to the TV and watch the cars speed around the circuit. Whatever dinner plans we had would work around that race timing. If we were ever late, we’d only miss a few laps and there’d…

On a roll

You’ve probably noticed, I had a lot to say in June. A blog post for every working day last month except for the 8th. the 8th was actually a mistake; I thought I had one for that day, but apparently not.

I hadn’t originally planned to blog that much but I guess things just worked out that way. I was reading interesting articles, had more inspiration to write and stuff. And on the 3rd week of June I decided I would make a run for it… see if I could go till the end of the month. And I have.

I…

Upgrade

noreply@blogspirit.com (mashie) — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 10:45:00 +0800

I love my new handphone, you know that? It’s a Nokia 6300.

Apparently the 6300 was designed to appeal to the same users who loved the Nokia 6100 – which is also me. My new phone is so gorgeous compared to that old heap I was using previously. (After I misplaced my 6100, I inherited my dad’s phone since he wanted to upgrade and I didn’t see any handsets that I liked enough to buy). I call it an old heap because every time I had to set the date for various reasons, I always had to change the year from…

A random act of Swedish madness

noreply@blogspirit.com (mashie) — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 22:35:00 +0800

The other day, I received a care package from the States. A friend had casually asked for my address and I did thought she was going to send a card or something.

It turned out to be a bag of my favorite gummy candy, Swedish fish.

For those of you who don’t know, Swedish Fish candy looks like this. They are usually red in color. The normal Swedish Fish gummy is about 2.5cm (1 inch) long.

And the regular-sized packet looks like this.

The bag of candy I received though contained giant Swedish Fish measuring about 5cm (2 inches) long! 1.5kg…

I've been referenced!

Quick congratulate me... I just discovered that my post on Generation Gap is being used as a source for a project concerning the generation gap in Singapore. Here it is: http://www.kn.sbc.com/wired/fil/pages/webdiscussimi.html Look under the "Young Singaporeans' point-of-view" section. I have no idea who the project leader is, but hey I'm glad she found my post useful for her students. Makes me feel real good... like I have been published or something. Then again, you never know. Maybe the students are blasting me in their report. Oh heck.

So, while we are on the topic of referencing, I still find that I…
