Bad experience shopping at Sim Lim
One of my favorite places to go to buy stuff is Sim Lim Square. Every single day that my parents were here in SG, my dad never failed to stop by Sim Lim. You can find really good deals down there but if you’re not careful, you can get really burned to. So on their… Continue reading Bad experience shopping at Sim Lim
Gadget Upgrade!
When I was at TechEd, I got Loke Uei to upgrade my Blackjack II to Windows Mobile 6.1 and I am enjoying it sleek goodness very much.

Yet another year that I am missing her day. I believe she is now 16 years old, 9 years younger than me. Two years from now she’s supposedly having her debut and I hope I can be home, or where ever she is for that.

Mix for Students: facebook development on .NET
I did a session on facebook development using the facebook developer toolkit where I also showed how I integrated my Piss Off Silverlight application into a facebook app, which I now call PissBook. I’ve registered the pissbook url but have yet to point it to my app as it seems that facebook isn’t allowing me… Continue reading Mix for Students: facebook development on .NET
