Vote Earth Now!

Benjamin — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 13:16:00 +0000

At this day and age, with all the current technologies and speeds of communications, the world could unite to a common goal. Global warming is real and each and everyone of us would need to do our part. We now have a chance to show we care.

I realize as I get older and hopefully more mature, things that use to bore me such as financial news, the evening news, adult stuff are now so important and I try my best daily to keep updated. Gone are the days of daily reading of comic strips and enjoying morning cartoons. Now with this global event, show your maturity and the importance as change begins with us. Each and everyone of us.

Show that you are educated, show that you are mature, show that you care, show that you matter. Cast your vote. Vote now. Vote earth. Show the world, we can stand as one. It begins now… this Saturday 28/03/2009. It’s EARTH HOUR! At 2030 to 2130 (That’s 08:30 – 9:30pm) turn off all the electricity for one hour.

This is great and tomorrow I would need to get candles!

Anyways, now I’m able to run polls!!! That’s a very good thing. So here goes. Choose one. Thanks.

Here’s to my cousin Jerry, who has an armful of tattoos.

How do you ask for pepper in Vietnam?

Benjamin — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:49:45 +0000

I’ve been wanting to blog about this for quite some time but never found the time to… And since I’m having a hard time sleeping tonight, I might as well mobile blog this.

So, how do you actually ask for pepper when in vietnam? Well just yell ‘TIEU!!!’ hehehe serious. Well, if you understand Cantonese you would get the joke. For those of you who don’t, ask someone who does know the language.

As proof I’ll attach a picture I took from my hotel restaurant when I was having dinner there one night. So remember when in Vietnam… can you pass me some tieu please!?!

It has been ages…

Benjamin — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:38:43 +0000

It has been ages since i last blogged. I apologize. There has been so many things happening all at once.

One of the biggest thing, I would say is ‘I’m MARRIED!’ There is also the holiday I had end ’08 and many other things.

Anyways, now i’m back because I got an xbox and hooking it up to my blog. Guess I should blog more… starting tomorrow perhaps?

Twitterific!

Benjamin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 21:28:27 +0000

Ok. I’m now also into twitter. Anything technology seems to draw me and i’ve intergrated it into my blog. It’s a great tool to keep in touch and it especially drills down to daily updates on what’s happening as well as going mobile. Seems like SMSes, EMAILs and BLOGs aren’t as fast as it use to be. Hehehehe. But what’s great about twitter is, it doesn’t require me to type as much. Only 140 characters to tell people who I want to keep in touch with what i’m currently doing… including going to the toilet to take a shit. Hahahaha!!! Well, those of you who don’t know what twitter is should check out the website. Truly good shit. Till my next post. Keep in touch.

My first ‘mobile blog’

Benjamin — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:00:37 +0000

Testing my first mobile blog … Not really ‘Lifecast’ the software (which sounds cooler btw) but should work the same.. Including a picture of me! The iPhone ‘Lifecast’ app would be for Blogger.com & I’m using ‘WordPress for iPhone’ which works fine as well… Both ‘Lifecast’ & ‘WordPress for iPhone’ are free apps downloadable frm iTunes.

AVP:R

Benjamin — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 05:36:22 +0000

AVP:R – Alien Versus Predator – Requiem. It’s a movie release around December 2007.
I often lag in my posting… anyways, I got this birthday pressie from a colleague of mine!

It’s the Hybrid Alien / Predator taken from the movie. The action figurine is about 6″ high and it’s looking at me everyday in office. I love action figures (aka NOT toys) hehehe. Just love the detail and the ‘attitude’ of this figurine. Keeps me focus in office. Good for breaks when not staring at the computer the whole day. Nice? Niceeee….

Apple iPhone 3G to launch in Singapore.

Benjamin — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:57:11 +0000

The Apple iPhone is to be launch soon in Singapore! Singtel, one of the main telcos available on the island is the first distributor to launch / import the iPhone 3G to be sold ‘officially’.

The Singtel website is already checking the market for the Apple iPhone by asking for reservations for the phone which price is said to be cheaper than what the parallel importers are selling the hacked iPhones for. There is no indication of price nor 100% commitment from Singtel that you would be first to get the iPhone, but I reckon it is to test the respond as well as try their best to fulfill the demand for this next generation icon phone.

I should be getting my hands on this gadget soon and it would be lotsa tweaking going on… there are already people tweaking , hacking, unbricking the iPhone 2G as well as the iTouch, this baby would cause my many sleepless nights. Hehehehe my main point concern is linking all my Outlook contacts into this Apple product.

Anyways… here is the Singtel website that let’s you ‘reserve’ your phone but with no commitment on Singtel’s part that they will deliver. iPhone 3G!!!
