Interview on Channel NewsAsia

 

Channel NewsAsia interviewed me for a gaming series called Game, Inc for SCOGA – Singapore Cybersports and Online Gaming Association where I talked about the gaming scene in Singapore and making a positive change in this industry.

Singapore: Most admired Knowledge City in the world

Someone I met on the highway of life not too long ago, a newfound co-sojourner, flew to Mexico around the same time I left for China because the Singapore Government had appointed him to Mexico to receive this award on their behalf:

where Singapore placed TOP amongst all the cities of the world!

I must rave about it!

A panel of experts voted for 38 MAKCI nominees and the top 10 are placed as follows

3,400 caught speeding on new highway in 6 days. How?

Saw this blog post from my friend @ SimplyJean and thought I talk about it since

1. This is a blog about highways! (But this post mainly for Singaporean readers only, sorry!)

2. (I think) I actually know how this is done, coz I was shown the technology many moons ago.

NEARLY 3,400 vehicles were caught exceeding the 70kmh speed limit in the underground Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) in the first six days of its opening.

“You don’t write on this blog anymore?”

:p

I met some Pingsters last night at an event which I helped to put together called PopOut and though it was the first time meeting, most of them recognised me straight out! Don’t ask me how – it used to be that even old friends don’t recognise me on the streets but these days it’s quite often that strangers come up to say hi. Not cool…eeeks!

Anyways a Pingster asked me this question “You don’t write on this blog anymore?” and I thought it deserves a post :p

NUTS lah!

I had the privilege to work on a contract for one of Singapore’s most celebrated enterprenuers in my first business – Mr Sim Wong Hoo, founder of Creative Technologies. Creative is the company that invented sound for your computer and more recently famous for their long-drawn battle with Apple over the personal digital entertainment devices space mainly Zen vs iPod.

One of Mr Sim’s most famous words till today is about NUTS. What is NUTS? Although it has been some time and Singapore has changed quite dramatically since the time of this speech, NUTS is closely related to the theme of this blog – the highway of life. The following is the extract:

Don’t get caught speeding

What’s your speed today?

I caught the blog bug

Ever since I started this blog, I caught the blog bug.

Can’t stop. It’s worse than caffeine.

So I have to take it further. I have no choice. It’s killing me.

Brand new Ferraris! Something’s missing?

Singaporeans are one of the fastest growing millionaires in the world, according a well-respected report that’s been circulating around the internet recently.

Imagine you were one of these millionaires and you spent a bomb to buy a nice million $ Ferrari (yes, that’s how much these babies cost over here, millions)

And when the Ferrari salesman hand you the keys, you plug in the key and crank up your new babe.

…. grrr ehhhh ehheheh.

…. grrr ehhhh.

… gurrr plurp.

Something’s wrong with your brand new Ferrari.

Money is so hard to give away – Lessons from Bill Gates and Warren Buffet

Heard @ a dinner address tonight :

Bill Gates amassed such a fortune which at one time was valued at almost US$100billion.

When one such as Bill comes to such a level, you can only imagine that money starts to lose it’s meaning.

So what did Bill decide to do as the world’s richest man?
