Catch up with many people today and really glad I can make it. APSTAR Retreat was really interesting especially the discussion of IP Telephony presentations from Japan, Korea and Thailand. When MPHPT agrees to open 050-XXXX-XXXX for IP Telephony for at least Class C licensee last year, that was a bold step. By the end […]

Day 1 in Korea
Took a red-eye (overnight) flight from Singapore to Seoul. I arrived intact in Seoul at 7:30am thinking I have sufficient time before my 9am meeting. Well, not knowing Hotel Lotte-Jamsil is 1hour away by cab, I took the cab and it cost 90,000WON (90USD)! *sigh* [Incidently, when the cab driver tells you “No English”, speaking […]
Sobig.F
Around lunch time, my mailbox started to get filled up with Sobig.F worm from some guy in Australia [137.111.130.103] (Macquarie University?). At the rate of 1-2 email per minute, I have receive over 200+ from him alone in the last 2 hrs. If one person can do that much damage, imaging 1/2 a million… I […]
Online games
Following my blogging of “What I learnt from games”, I have been thinking of writing an online game which build on the concept of this. Perhaps it could be something of a management game where you pits your skills against other managers in a ruthless captalisam society. It might be an interesting simulation game. Oh […]
DMCA for Singapore?
If you havent heard of DMCA, you probably should! With the US-SG FTA coming into effect next year, DMCA will come to Singapore. DMCA is one of the harshest copyright legistration. Basically, it outlaws any attempts to break any copyright protection. But it provides exceptions such as “scientific exploration”. Nevertheless, SDMI/RIAA has attempt to use […]
sigh…
dunno why…dont feel good today. perhaps too stressed out…i guess thats happens when you have 3 meetings before lunch, skip lunch to have a board conference call, and follow up a storm of emails and papers to follow up until the end of day. I also feel quite bad that I probably wont be able […]
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday Singapore! The Today newspaper today (the previous one is with a captial ‘T’) have a number of stories from various journalists who apparently have an overdose of MrBrown’s SNE. Even the Letters from Readers section have 3 letters which sound like written by MrBrown himself.
the future of SME …
During lunch with Alvin (Karloff), we have an interesting discussion about the future of SME in Singapore. From the macroeconomic perspective, one MNC probably creates more jobs and output (GDP) then 100 SMEs. Hence, logically, it makes more sense trying to get MNC to based in Singapore. And by some economists estimate, we probably need […]
BrownTown
Today, I learnt that it is a bad idea to read Straits Times after you spend the last few hours reading Singapore National Education@BrownTown… Your brain will go crazy…
Finally
Finally found some time to configure my own blog. Always wanted to do so but never have the time…hopefully I can start doing some writing from here. Oh yea, I do have a homepage which haven’t been updated since 1994. (Notice it uses Netscape 1.1N extension!…table are a big deal back then, you know!)
