Oh we forgot... iPad does not support Flash

Today, our female colleagues wish to take a look at the iPad which created such a big hoo-haa. And this is what happen when you pass an iPad to a non-IT lady...

First question was "Wah... so many fingerprints! But don't have such a big screen protector right?"

Upon knowing that it is on WIFI, one of them clicked on Safari with great excitement. But her excitement didn't last too long because she surfed to Facebook and after a few clicks, encountered the No-Flash error.

"Like that cannot play my Pet Society lor? Oh... then also cannot harvest my crops leh!"

If Apple is keen on taking in this group of customers, they better build in Flash support on release 2...

iPad out of the box

The iPad created a huge commotion in the office when it is finally here! All in the team fought to hold it, touch it and sweep their fingers on it, those from the nearby departments tried to take a glimpse of it, and the IT guys even offered to exchange their 32" Samsung LCD TV with it!

So what did we do with it now that it is in our hands? Firstly and most importantly, the must-do type-anything-on-the-keyboard test! Ok, proved can put on table and type comfortably on it... Next! We managed to get the IT guys to key in the wireless router password to go online! But our LAN is kinda slow though... Next! Watched a HD video on Youtube, and the color and resolution is indeed fantastic! The speakers abit soft though, but hey, that's why we've got portable speakers! Next! My favourite - photos viewing!

But for some reasons, the iPad's bluetooth refuses to detect any nearby bluetooth devices so we couldn't transfer any photo over, so we ended up looking at Flickr... but still, nice colors and resolution again! Someone suggested it can be used as a fine digi photoframe, but... abit too expensive right?

My manager suggested that the iPad will be great for reading on bed, which is really true. After all, it's so precious and not very light, so I can't imagine holding it with one hand and viewing it while standing in an overcrowded MRT train...

Now we just need to get hold of some games on the iPad...

Beautiful flowers in the Chinese New Year flower marts

It's Chinese New Year again, and time for Singaporeans to decorate their homes with beautiful flowers! Though Singapore is a tropical country, this is the time when flower marts all over Singapore will be selling spring flowers that are supposedly only suitable for colder weather. Usually, these spring flowers barely last after the 15 days of Chinese New Year. But still, Singaporeans are happy to bring them home, just to be happy for the new year!

Christmas trees in town

What is the best way to wrap up for the year? Take picture of the one thing that will make anybody feel happy upon seeing it. Christmas trees!

Prawns in my aquarium

Just for fun, I bought a pack of freshwater prawns (those that are used for feeding bigger and more expensive precious fishes in rich men's houses) and gave them a new home in my little aquarium. And boy do they compliment the water plants!

One good bowl of instant noodles

Instant bowl noodles imported from Hong Kong, and a very Hong Kong flavor indeed - Prawn wanton soup!


The dry instant noodles are not like those typical instant noodles. In fact this looks more like dried handmade wanton mee to me!


Water vapour transforming into water droplets on the instant noodles bowl cover.


Though the soup is not genuine wanton noodles soup that is brewed for long hours in real meat, and not a single prawn or wanton is found, the noodles has still made it all worthwhile.

The Marina Barrage is a huge reservoir built right in the city by the coastal line. It has the 3-in-1 function of storing water, controlling flood and providing a venue for water recreation sports for the people.
