A day like this doesn’t always happen. A day that all Chinese people will celebrate and also a day that young couples, old couples and wannabe couples will proclaim their “love” to one another.

Yeap this 14th February. We will all be celebrating Chinese New Year collecting lots of ang pows and we will be using up those ang pows later in the day to pamper our chosen person for Valentine’s Day.

Before the day ends, I just want to wish everyone.

Happy Chinese New Year and Happy Valentine’s Day!

A couple of days ago, i raved about how I want a Google Nexus. Then after filtering through some tweets and Mashable posts. I came across this wonderful video by Google of how Google Nexus One came to be :)

 

I don’t know about the rest of you. I thoroughly enjoy watching how things form :) As in how an idea first came to be. Then how someone took that idea and gave it a shape. After giving it a shape they then make it into a reality… yeah i’m such a nerd in that respect. :P And to think i didn’t like history in my school days.

and yes yes i know this story has been floating about for some times and i’m only sharing it now.. yes yes.. you still can’t stop me from sharing it. heehee

Interesting things that happened since the launch of the iPad from this morning. Firstly I was looking on my tweetdeck. Let’s just say at that point in time, there were tons of people tweeting and updating their statuses on Facebook as Steve Jobs revealed the iPad. Shortly after though, there were also comment on how it is over hyped and over priced.

I’m all for Apple products because it really knows how to place itself in the market. Good technology and good branding means good sales. However I wonder what Apple was thinking when he named it the iPad? I mean in our asian culture parents always make it a point to usually name their child with something that is not easy to make fun of.

A name like the iPad? I personally preferred it when it was named the iTablet.

So much so that i found this video on youtub. A little mockery of the iPad. Have a good laugh hehe :P

I’ve just watched the finale of the TV Series Dexter and I just have to share something here. I am an absolute fan of Dexter and for anyone following me on Twitter you can see my tweets have been flooded with my rants on the Season 4 finale along with links to articles about the show. So now what I’m going to do is embed the live video chat that is going on live on ustream with John Lithgow the biggest baddest villain on Dexter.. and probably the most horrifying serial killer on television. The brilliance of the actors and writers is something to be awed about. I just cannot get enough from this show.John Lithgow playing this psychopath killer with a conscience to want it to end was absolutely brilliant. Michael C. Hall is beyond any words – how he comes of as a killer hidden beneath a sweet guy and tries to keep a family together was played wonderfully. Jennifer Carpenter to go from one roller coaster emotion – seeing her lover again, watching him die, have someone kill themself in front or her… it is endless. Big kudos to her for brilliant work. A special mention has to be given to Julie Benz who has left the cast. She’s been a wonderful character to watch as her character was the solid and grounding rock that brought about so much change to Dexter. We will miss her terribly. To wait for nine months for the next season is going to be absolute torture.

On Sunday I meet up with Tech Idiots to guest on their show. I’ve always been keen to go on some tech show, and portray how geeky i am :P And well.. i’ll just say i was surprised lol. With two funny guys, who love their tech and just want to share their knowledge in the most laymen of ways to others. Tech Idiots is produced by Kelvin Lim (PR dude from Fleishman-Hillard) and Wern Shen (editor of Lowyat.net).

So far Tech Idiots:Uncensored have only made 6 episodes – me being in the 6th ep. They are working boys so forgive them if they can’t make a video everyday. I was there i saw the tedious process just to make the short 13 minutes ok.

Needless to say it was very impromptu but i had loads of fun doing the show with them. Even more so when Wern Shen allowed me to play with the PS3 Need For Speed: Shift… I suck at it :( but hey i tried.

Watch what went down that day.

 

Tune in soon to see my interview with the guys who started out Tech Idiots: Uncensored. In the mean time be sure to head on to facebook and watch their episodes every two weeks on Monday :)
