Swine Flu

Recently there is an increasing number of cases of swine flu in Singapore. From around 10+ to over 2oo-300 plus cases of Swine flu now in Singapore, which is quite shocking to hear that as an individual. But I have confident in Singapore Swine flu prevention system because we have experience in handling this kind of disease which is SARS happens in around 2003. Although we cannot really control the situation but what we Singaporean can do is to play our part by taking temperature 3 times a day, to ensure that you are not fever. This is the best that we the Singaporean can do. But this does not only apply to Singaporean, other people from around the world can have this habit to play a part as a citizen for your own country. If not, we might be the one who might get this disease and pass it onto your kin.

Swine flu can be prevent or minimize if we play our part.

Last but not least, I am back again!

Moving forward

Tomorrow I will be going to another level of my life, which is not student life, but an army life which I look forward to since 2 to 3 months ago. Some people may say National Service is a waste of time, because by spending 2 years in NS, their peers could have succeed them in studies or working. Well it's not wrong to think like that, but if you change your point of view of serving National Service, by not just looking at is as it's a waste of your time or perhaps youth, you might want to think of it as a break if student who want to pursue their polytechnic/university /ITE education. Because we have been studying non-stop for more than 10 years in our life, we do not have a break in between to let us really think what we really want to do. So taking this 2 years to have a break and think through what you REALLY want to do for your future would be a better choice rather than go for the prospective of the job. Because if you have no interest in the things that you do, you will not succeed.

Other then that, in army, we can pick up some skills that we might not able to get or learn it in school, like for example leadership skills, which is one of the important aspect that we need to have in we want to succeed in life like creating your company to become an entrepreneur. Not only that, we can also expand our human network and to work and stay with different kinds of people from different education and family background. Through this we can learn more about them and know what they want or we can learn from them as different people have different point of view, with just using our own view to measure things, we might lose out a lot or misunderstand the objective.

Well for me NS is a good time to take a break, because if I were to continue studying, I could have lose my concentration if focusing my subject as my brain is really wipe out by programming code in polytechnic. I will be using this 2 years to learn more new technology stuff that I have never been taught before in my schools so that I can improve myself and able to create new stuff, new technology which could be my first application to becoming an entrepreneur like James Sun, who is a internet company CEO of ZooDango.com.

So guys who are going to NS, take it as a break in NS and 2 years in NS will be over where you don't even notice it.

Good luck!

Latest version of VENews

PlanetKY has come up with the latest version of VENews, which is better than the previous version off course. Not only we show the environment issue, we also show environmental solution and environmental events. So that user who use our VENews can not only know what's the environmental problem but also know what are the solutions that other countries has taken. With environmental event, user who are interested in giving a hand to help out our environment can check out the latest event happening and see whether is there any event which are near their living area.

Base on the comments given by my friends and other users, we had include a loading bar, to indicate that the VENews is loading after the user had choosen the environment category at the top right hand corner of the VENews application.

Next function we had is selecting the region that you want to view. This is a optional field though unless you want to specifically view on certain region of the world.

Support our mashup application, and spread this application to everyone you know, because anyone can use our application, and also this application can raise their awareness on environment matters which is very important for everyone.

Also if you are interested in creating your own mashup application like what we have did to help the world, create your very own account @ http://www.popfly.com now! Also be a fan of our application if you really like it and give comment on our application @ http://www.popfly.com/users/382143/VENews.

Thank You very much for your support! Thank You :)

Street Fighter IV!

Today morning went to make passport to go to Egypt (if can) and also prepare it for NS. Today went too early and not many people, then after finish making my passport, I decide to went to Plaza Singapura to catch a movie, but the timing is too late that if I watch it, I will be late for school (to do my Imagine Cup project). So I decided to go Arcade and play street fighter, since its only 50 cent. I went in to the arcade and there are only those staff in the store, then I start playing street fighter alone....

But after my third match with computer, people start to challenge me. I used Ken to win them with 1 button AGAIN! I always kick them and that's the best technique that I can use since I am quite new to this game, in terms of experience. But I lost twice to another Ken and Akuma (WTF!). But I win 7 and lose 2 with 2 tokens with just using 1 button. I saw my opponent also shocked when he tell his friend who VS with me, that I only use 1 button. Everytime I win, someone sure challenge me, like wanting to see me lose, but in the end I did lose and was quite happy with the result since I spend $2 and able to last for 1 hour + which is quite worth lol.

Then went to school and start planning PlanetKY work. The planning process is quite long but we did come out with a very wonderful idea, which is a secret cannot say until our product is done :P

Haiz I most likely cannot defer liao but hope can take 6 days leave and go to Egypt instead since it's quite rush for deferment as it onli left less than a week to my enlistment date.

Well see how it goes..... Cya ! And congratulate to those who called up for IDA interview, good luck guys you guys can do it!

OWNAGE!

WOOT today I own wx in Blaze blue with 1 button! Yahoo! We went to illuma and played a game called Blaze blue, which is a fighting game where 1 character fights with another character in the screen and the user, who is you, control the joystick and button to control the character and that's called blaze blue which I own WX! WOOT!

Then after that we went to eat our lunch/dinner at the asian kitchen or asian.... I forgot the name. I won't go there eat again! Cause is just simple fried rice and it cost $7.. WOW That's too expensive for person like me with no job. But still the taste is okok only. But if you are interested you can go try because they also sells noodles and side dish. I have not tried before but if it's good, must tell me thanks :)

Then after that we went to Mcdonald to eat ice cream then talk awhile then go home.

The best thing for today is I OWN WX. Thank You :)
