Just arrived in Bali for APRICOT 2007. More specifically, for the side events in APRICOT 2007 since I normally dont participate in the conference itself. Also check into the same hotel I stayed when I was here 2 years ago when I was doing site survey to select the host for APRICOT 2007. I am […]

Unconference in Singapore
Last week, I attended Unconference organized by the local Entrepreneur27. Others like Kevin has covered the event so I won’t but I share some thoughts instead. Unconference (and also BarCamp a few weeks before) is unique in many ways. It is close to what you get in the typical “cool” or “geek” event in the […]
Communities Dominate Brands
Communities Dominate Brands by Tomi T. Ahonen & Alan Moore Actually I blogged about this book in 2005. But Tomi just send me the book with an autograph (thanks!), I am obligated to mention this book again. Although written two years ago, the content is still as relevant today as it is back then.

Why Singapore is not ready for Web 2.0
I have a few lunches with a few people the last two weeks. Somehow, the topics always come back to Web 2.0 in Singapore, either entrepreneurs thinking to start one, investors looking for one or media policy makers.

My wife and me just watch “The Day After Tomorrow” a couple of weeks ago again so much we were drawing parallel comparison between the two movie. Making it more interesting is that we just watch Penn and Teller: Bullshit! Environmental Hysteria, which present the […]
The Future of Learning
“The Future of Learning” Manifesto is a great read even if you are not an educator. For the educators, this definitely rings a bell: “I could memorize your facts, but I got Google for that…Are you teaching me to think? Or just to take notes?” “Playing Small Does Not Serve the World…You’ve got one choice. […]
Play to Win
I went to a neighbourhood secondary school – Anderson Secondary School. Now, it is one of the better neighbourhood school but it was a humble school back then. I often represented the school for competitions (mainly math and computer) and the teacher in charge often gave us this advise “Don’t worry about losing. It is […]
Merry Christmas
On to Korea
I took my family back home over the weekend thinking I could be back in KL on Monday. A phone call later, meetings lined up and there goes my weekend. When I was thinking whether to go back to KL on Tuesday, I come down with a fever. Arghh. I missed a very important meeting […]
