Techcrunch already has a great coverage of the Techcrunch40 event so it is pointless for me to repeat here. Beside, I was busy running around, speaking to people, catching up with old friends and making a lot of new ones and not really paying attention. So instead, I will cover a few companies I saw […]

In Los Angles
Just checked into Westin Bonaventure Hotel in LA. I like to meet the genius who put the ethernet connector on the table far away from any wall power plug. And United Airs tried to charge me US$191 to make a slight change (30mins earlier flight) for a US$204.80 ticket. Good Lord!
Packing for LA
Almost done packing my luggage and preparing to leave for LA. The last week was really busy for me as I was running around doing errands, meeting people, and making sure things still go on while I am away. Speaking of errands, I bought a NAS 500Gb MyBook yesterday. A minute after it is booted […]

Transit in Hong Kong
Just arrived in Hong Kong and taking a super red-eye (3am) flight to Beijing. Don’t have a choice…only way to make it to my meeting in time. :-(
Strange Encounter
Afterthoughts of APRICOT 2007
I didnt stay for the whole APRICOT 2007 this time as I am needed back in Singapore. On the other hand, the most useful meetings I get out of APRICOT are the side meetings that is usually held just before APRICOT 2007. Anyway, here are some notes from APRICOT 2007. 1. I was surprised to […]
In Bali
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 […]
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 […]
