SEXY, GROSS, UBERCOOL & BIMBOTIC

This is my pictorial definition of SEXY:


This is my pictorial definition of GROSS:


This is my pictorial definition of UBERCOOL:

I really like this. First you put your goodies in the hand, point this gadget in what ever direction you want it to go, press the button, then it moves towards whoever you point it to, and offers the goodies you have just placed in its hand. The smart thing is that the is smart enough to have sensors that prevent it from falling of the edge of a table... can you believe how UBERCOOL these useless gadgets are?? :) Never grow hungry again, this redefines the couch potato!!

Finally, know what BIMBOTIC is? It's when a blonde, or anyone who comes close to that says to her mechanic.
"I think I need to replace spare part 710 on my car. Everything seems to be working so it must be part #710 that isn't working. Will you help me order item number 710?"

DOOHHHH!!!!

iPod KILLIN' Machine - This Gadget beats the iPOD by a mile!

Sick of your iPod? Welcome to the world to iPodinator "terminator". This new gadget is the brand and spankin' new iPod killer/annihilator/massacre-er

Introducing the 2nd Gen iRiver. Watch her work, sure turns me on... Does this do it for you??

*smacks lips*

eStee's Head on PiNk Pillow MeMe - Finally!

Finally, since so many people have done this, I owe DK as well as many other who have done this before me....!!! :) Really needed to destress from stupid exams tomorrow. I still hate Dr. Why. He is so unreasonable, don't think I can get over this...

Chee Ko Pek Goes Swimming - PAISEH!

This ah pek is super cute... I really just want to *squeeze* him... who can blame him for that cute rubber duckie??

HAHAHA Laugh until CRY. OMG!!!

Guys, trust me. After reading this, you'll admit you haven't laughed so hard in a long time. It's students like these who really should get their "A"s.. not the uncreative muggertoads. Unfortunately, I'm not the minister of education, dang!

MY Lecturer is ET, I swear or I'll TOK!!

I know I have nothing to TOK but really, my lecturer is ET from Planet Earth. I am willing to put my money where my mouth is! Anyone wants to challenge?? I'm game if you're on.

I'm feeling really sad that my semester is over. This is the best module I have had in my entire stinking NUS life. I have enjoyed 3 modules this semester. Evo Psych, by Dr. Penney, Advanced Abnormal Psych, Dr. Collinson and my best best yet, Social Psychology, Dr. Eddie Tong.

Seriously, this has been the worst and best module yet. Dr Why has been the worst, he is so harsh in grading and Personality has been such a stinky module, I'm depressed.

Dr. Tong's been so funny and entertaining, seriously if NUS is filled by lecturers like him, I'd gladly fail to stay on. Anyway, I'm posting up some announcements he's sent us. He's hilarious! He calls himself Sage Tong, by the way, and we are his followers :)

Dearest all,

how are you? i hope you are doing well in this time of term papers deadline and midterms. If you are stressed, take my advice as someone with 10 years more experience than you: hardly anything you are worrying over now you will be concerned with 10 years from now.

In any case, here's next Supp Reading:

Divorcing my Husband 2 Elope With My Boyfriend

Dear Technical Support:

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband
1.0 and noticed a slow down in the overall
performance, particularly in the flower and jewelry
applications that had operated flawlessly under
Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed many other
valuable programs such as Romance 9.5 and Personal
Attention 6.5, but installed undesirable programs
such as EPL 5.0 and NBA 3.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer runs and House
Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried
running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no
avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
DESPERATE


TECHNICAL SUPPORT:

Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind; Boyfriend 5.0 is an
entertainment package, while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system. Try entering the command C:\I
THOUGHT YOU LOVED ME and download Tears 6.2 to
install Guilt 3.0. If all works as designed, Husband
1.0 should then automatically run the applications
Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause Husband 1.0 to
default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or
Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will
create SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-Law 1.0 or
reinstall another Boyfriend program. These are not
supported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it
does have a limited memory and cannot learn new
applications quickly. You might consider additional
software to improve memory and performance. I
personally recommend Hot Food 3.0 and Lingerie 6.9.

Good Luck,

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

New Creative Funds for Entrepreneurs

Hi Guys:

For those entrepreneurs out there, 2 new creative funds! -- Creative Talent Fund & Creative Business Fund!!!

CCS hopes to evolve a creative and connected community where arts, culture, business and technology converge to empower and engage individuals. We believe that innovation thrives when people with creative ideas are given the right support. This is the reason why we are unveiling two new schemes, which integrate funding with non-financial assistance, to give these talents an opportunity to realise their potential, by nurturing their creativity and turning their ideas into sustainable creative businesses.


The closing date for the 1st round of proposal submissions for both schemes is Tuesday, 15 May 07.

Blown By a MONKEY (errr....)

Ever wondered how it is to be blown by a monkey? Well, girls, now you can wonder no more, just for USD$9, you can experience what it is like. Hmmmm... But seriously to me, it ain't worth it. This is just a really cute gimic that makes us go "awwwww" but seriously, it doens't look like it is really useful. I'm sticking to my good ol' nail separators as well as electric fan, thank you!

Mini Blogosphere Get Together - IDEAS PLEASE!

Hi Guys: I would really appreciate comments and thoughts on this. Please assist me in ideas for his area:

If You were attend a "BlogOut" sort of event where you get to meet other people who blog as well, would you prefer the crowd to be niche? Meaning either all techies, all New Media, All social bloggers or would you like to see a good mix of everyone (problems of this might be getting pockets of people in cliques instead of fostering good interpersonal interaction).

Would you be willing to pay nominal fee maybe $5 or so for dinner, maybe some drinks and a well planned agenda.

Where would you think this event should be held?

And lastly, how many people would you want to expect? I'm not looking like NEXUS-like large scale event, I'm talking about 60-100 individuals.

Thought please!!!! Thanks! Please comment!

Swarovski USB 4 9eeky babes. Throw out your diamond rings, demand the REAL thing

Guys, this is really for you. I think you will find pleasure in watching how you can tame your little animal.


Philips has joined forces with a top name in the glitz industry and kick out a couple of very superfluous devices. Partnering with Swarovski, the duo is loosing the Active Crystals collection of 1GB USB drives (and sparklin' headphones, too) onto the fashion-conscience set, and aside from sporting a variety of crystal-clad exteriors, they're pretty vanilla everywhere else. For the more geeky babes, maybe we should consider one of these instead of those bling bling wedding rings. Diamonds are passe, dude. Win your girl's heart with a crystal USB!!!! Hee Hee!

LSD covered Pussies - Getting High the Weird way...

For reasons best kept to yourself - and $20.14 - you may want to get your mitts on this synthetic cat's paw. And for another reason, probably best kept to itself, said paw comes with a small bell and a trigger to make it bend. Or something like that.

Apart from doubling up as a key ring and G-spot stroker (if you are that kind of cat lover), this Cat Paw's surface has been specially treated with LSD derivatives that will make you do really weird things when you grab them.

Or at least that's what I could gather looking at the gallery bellow. And if you thought the japanese Wii safety manual was crazy, you ain't seen nothing yet.

I put my HAMSTER in a SHREDDER

Yes, and I would pay to do it again. One thing I do not have in my room is a paper shredder, which would be pretty fancy, if you ask me. I can shred all my papers with bad grades and burn the sheds and then burn the ashes of the shreds again!! muahahaha.

But then again, considering Jeanette, my neighbour has a hamster and those wheelies, I should actually indeed install a shredder at the lid, and harness the power of the wheelie to shred all my paper! Imagine this!!


Won't it be cool to have your hamster work for his food? We all know that hamster shaving are way toooo expensive! :)

STUPID is my middle name

I hate myself sometimes. Do you know how angry I am? I spent all that time on the Cognitive Neuroscience paper only to get a C+. !@#!@#$%^&$%^&* I almost broke down when I saw it. This is my damn honours year, I need to keep my grades up! No matter how much I HATE to study, SIngapore has made it that if you don't do well in school, you are ruined! If I don't maintain my second upper, I'm seriously just going to kill myself. Now I understand why people actually take their lives, what's the point of living when everything you work for just screws you over.

I miss 2 year long life in USA, I want to go back there. Where I worked for ACI, I had atonomy and PASSION in doing what I loved. I would look forward to going to work everyday. EVeryday I was faced with challenges, but I enjoyed what I did and saw that I made a difference. I was so busy there but not once did I complain. It was such a good experience!!

Now I'm back in Singapore, everything is so screwed up. I get judged only based on my results. What the hell, it's so super sickening. I have no passion in what I'm studying, I'm just doing it for some dumb certificate. Seriously, this just isn't worth it. Yah so it's the angry BITCH in my screaming out, but what can I do?

Despite being so busy with being teaching assistant for Douglas's MBA class, I have so much passion in what I'm doing. I'm actually part of making things happen and I can have the autonomy to do what I want and help others. This is what I am passionate about! The lessons are so exciting. And the worst thing is that I'm not even in the course, I'm just helping him out!!!! It is super wrong that I am enjoying these entrepreneurial classes and hating those from my major. Plus now I'm helping with another project with TDM and I'm like so passionate about that too. I love making things happen and conceptualizing ideas... that's really what I love!!! WHy does it have to feel this way?

So then I got another paper back today also and I topped the class. Meaning that I was even requested to scan my paper in and submit it to the entire class. Dr. C wrote," Dear Estee, I think your essay is a very good example of what I was looking for. If you have time to type or scan it, please upload it onto IVLE, the rest will appreciate it. You can mentioned that I told you to do that". DO you know when I read it, I had to double check if it was my name and I came back to my room and re read my paper twice because I cannot even believe that it was me that achieved such a thing. I mean, Ive been so battered and bruised, it's like I don't even believe in myself anymore.

I really hate this life, but I know it really is up to me. My attitude determines my altitude, I should put more faith in God, it's just everything is making me so jaded now. I graduate in December and it's like... I NEED TO KEEP MY GRADES UP! Although I know that in the ong run, grades are insignificant. But they are NOW!!!!!!!!

I just need to grow up and understand that it's a hard knock life. Suck it up and stup the hell up. No use complaining like a baby. Nothing is going to change. Stupud, truly is my middle name. FUCK.

Rent a Wife Ad - Men are HEARTLESS :(

If you really want to be offended, you should watch the video.

Rent vs. Own. Always a difficult decision. Can this offend us females more? In Belgium, you can rent a wife at RentaWife.be. Ironically, the "Network’ launched RentaWife.com long ago, but they offer only ‘domestic’ services. At the Belgian site, you can pick your wife’s measurements, so I think the Belgian company has a slightly different value proposition. Adverblog describes the service, “The site is in Dutch and French, but I think you can all find your way through the content quite easily. Of course, if you’re interested, you can subscribe to the service directly through the site. There are different options you can choose from and… guess what, when you click to go, you’ll end up on the subscribe page of an online DVD rental service.”

By the way, I’m sure your rented wife will love you very much so guys, u can go to hell if ur even thinking...

Vlogger's WET DREAM (mine too!)

This is abso-freaking-lutely sexy! Sexy, sexy sexy! Can you imagine, it'll be the closest I'll ever come to being Tom Cruise in Minority Report! Bring it on, BaBBAAYYYY! Woot!

This touchscreen media editing tool from the AutoRAI car show in Amsterdam is the stuff of vlogger wet dreams. Video, photos and text are sent directly to the interface, where an editor (in this case VJ Oxygen) re-organizes and publishes all of the raw media. Notice that it is only a single-touch interface. One finger might be enough for bloggers, but pro video editors will probably require a multi-touch capability for linking multiple clips. It was created by the Imagination Group, which specializes in "experiential" marketing. –NoahRobischon

Me and my LOVER

Woot! Me and My Mac. I walk with it, sleep with it, talk to it, cannot live without it. This weekend when I was back, my mother asked me if there is any moment I can do without it. My bss asked me if there was any moment I ever let go of it. Maybe this is a bad sign... I need to rearrange my things to do list :

1) Get a life (read: upgrade to powerbook! :))
2) Get a boyfriend (read: that operates on Mac OS)

Haha... toodles hun!

UBERpost Nexus Party! PIcs and Pixies!

I am totally running out of words. My hair is on its ends. I cannot lull myself to sleep. It is thrilling, so exciting, so invigorating. The Digital Movement - I feel the earth move under my feet!

Know the feeing of entering an atmosphere just electrically charged up? Yes, that was what happened last night. Although I knew really little people, it was seamless just hitting it off with everyone.

A place where everyone has the SAME vision, SAME goals and SAME drives. A want to make things happen, this sexy locomotion.
I had to lug my baby (read: macbook) around the whole day. Totally cannot live/breathe without it. I think I should get married to my computer -- on a lighter note, yes I had to bring it around with me the whole day because after meeting the guys from conferencebay, I had to hang around to wait for Jas and Alvin to meet me, before setting off together for the after after-party.
A very happy Michael :) and his TDM shirt!
Hurray to TDM!!

MR. what you know is what you do not know yet you know that you do not know

So those who went for Nexus would definitely have heard of this Mr. I know what I don't know you know I don't know char kway teow hor fun fish head bee hoon... OK basically after his finished his 2hour long speech, I was like "wth"?

Maybe it is true that if you can't convince them, confuse them.. (??) It was definitely a very fun experience, with cool ideas like live chat going on with the discussion panels, like update via flickr etc...etc. After all for a tech conference you gotta be web 2.0 right? heh

Pussies or PCs? Now you can have BOTH!

Firstly, pussy cats! Meow! The USB Kitty stands (okay, crouches) about 4 inches high, bobbing its head as it demands attention, much like a real feline prima donna. Using a handful of sensors, the device also meows ingratiatingly when you make kitty-stroking motions near its chin. The Kitty is just like a real pet, only with a timer, an alarm, and a repertoire of cat-language birthday songs. At least you don't have to clean a litter box.



Know how girls go nuts over small furry animals? Yes guys hate those fluffy rodents, but it might be strategic to from an alliance with your four legged friends. Why? Because your girl loves them. In other words, you have to PRETEND you love them as well. :) Buy her a pet that won't poop all over the place -- just plug and play! The USB Hamster Wheel provides a dramatic demonstration. The faster you type, the faster the toy rodent runs, and the faster the wheel spins. Of course, a person could take the metaphor of a hamster running but never getting anywhere in a negative way, so this might not make the best gift.


OK so your girls isn't as tech savyy (read: geeky)as you.. instead of having her vent her frustrations on you, invest in one of these, trust me, worth the investment totally... No matter how much you love your PC, at some point you may want to clobber it into a thousand tiny pieces. Save yourself the expense (and the cleanup) by investing in the ScreenSmasher, a foam axe that comes with a USB sensor. Whack the screen, and your Windows desktop will display an image of shattered glass, along with a crash sound effect. Therapy never came so cheap.


Hey, are you gonna eat that? A rule must exist that if you traditionally eat something with chopsticks, you should be able to store data on it, because no other explanation springs to mind for these USB drives masquerading as sushi, takoyaki, dim sum, and tempura shrimp.


If a prize were awarded for the grisliest flash drive design ever, the winner would be this one, which looks just like half of a human thumb. I'm sure there's a hitchhiking joke in this somewhere, but most people would likely be too busy gagging to think of it.

LOVE --That damned 4 letter word

So wat is love you ask me? Good question? Is it the butterfly in your stomach while waiting in anticipation of a date? Or is it the immense jealousy when someone you "love" sees someone else? Or is it unconditional? All self sacrificial and all forgiving... Too good to be true? Many question on what love is. Simply amazing how a 4 letter word can mean so much, or so little, for that matter.


Some pictures and comics to put things in perspective...


Is it something we can do without?
