Have been very busy setting up Thymos Capital last couple of months so wasn’t able to travel much so feeling a bit out of touch. So after postponing this trip a couple of months, I am finally arrived in Beijing last night. This is mostly a study trip for me, to catch up with old […]

Home Sweet Home (with iPhones)
30 hours and finally back home in Singapore. It has being a good trip and I have a lot of fun! :-) Now unlocking the iPhones I bought back. Who wants one? Update: Okay, I was joking when I say “Who wants one?”. These are for friends who asked me to bring it back for […]
People I met
People I met in Bay Area: Bruce Schena – Founder of Immersion. Cool guy to hang out when I am in Bay Area again. David Hornik (August Capital) – One of my favorite VC blogger. Finally got to meet him and I hope to invite to Singapore to talk to the startups here. Dewayne Hendricks […]
San Francisco to Palo Alto
Had a wonderful lunch with Phil Wolff and David Beckemeyer at the Silk. I haven’t have so much fun having conversation talking about voip for a while. The industry landscape has changed a lot bu certainly lots of moving. But one take away from lunch is no one has found the “killer” in VoIP yet. […]
Techcrunch40
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 […]
Going to Los Angeles and Bay Area
I will be flying into Los Angeles on 13th Sept to attend the Wired NextFest. Then I will fly to San Francisco on 16th Sept to attend Techcrunch20. After Techcrunch20 ended on 18th, I intend to stay on in the Bay Area for a few more days to catch up with friends and hopefully making […]
Customer Service @ Immigration
This trip to Beijing, I notice the immigration counter has a new device (above). Yep, you can give instant feedback of the officer who is serving you. Customer Service @ Immigration. Wow! Guess Beijing is taking Olympic 2008 very seriously, making sure they have the best in front of the visitors. Anyway, it is a […]
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. :-(
