Xiamen Trip
Perhaps my Chinese host in Xiamen thinks I am too thin (I am not!) but they are very determined to make sure I put on at least 5 kg before I leave Xiamen. Regardless of the Chinese tradition of “finish everything you had on your plate, even one grain of rice”, every meal I had […]
On the way to Xiamen
I am on my way to Xiamen. Come to think about it, it is the first time I am flying on Silkair so I am not sure what to expect. If you are wondering I am going to Xiamen and not to Hong Kong for the big ITU World 2006, you aren’t the only or […]
Follow the money

Since I blog about FON two week, I got some enquires about whether I could get some for them too. Sadly, as mentioned, they dont shipped to Singapore yet. So a few days ago, I decided to email my friends at FON. Well, they replied and send me a box of 20 FON routers. It […]
Samsung WiBRO Mobile Phone
Just read on Crunch Gear that Samsung is showing off their WiBRO Mobile Phone. But the one which everyone talking about (and has being waiting for since June) is the one below: Samsung SPH-P9000. It is really more of a PDA with a fold-out keyboard. Beside the interesting form-factor, it support EV-DO as well as […]
