Bye QWERTY... Hi abKey
Wow... just read this on Channel News Asia - "S'pore inventor launches new device to replace QWERTY keyboard". //Singapore entrepreneur and inventor Bob Teo hopes his new format keyboard will be the way of the future.//
I have heard about a more efficient layout many years back... but seems nobody is bold enough to invest. Hope this Singaporean will make big bucks out of this and make Singapore famous!!!
HAPPY 40th BDAY SINGAPORE!!!

Crab Dinner
Met up with friends and colleagues from Vanco for dinner. The event was my farewell dinner =P. My last day was on 15th July, but due to the busy schedules, the farewell dinner was arranged today.
The dining place was at Blk 232, Ang Mo Kio Ave 3. This was the much talked about crab restaurant. (Edmund has "VIP" card here!) The crowd was scary. I was late and arrived at 7:40pm but the ladies who arrived at 7pm were still standing outside waiting!!!
The highlight was the 4 crab dishes... YUMMIE!!! 1) Black Pepper Crab 2) Chilli Crab 3) Butter Crab and 4) Crab Noodles. My favorite was the Butter and Noodles dish. Chilli was good but usual, so was the common Black Pepper dish.
Special guests and friends who joined us were: Adeline (Sharon's predecessor), Annie (Gavin's fiance) and Elysia. Elysia missed her old pals at Vanco so much that she excused herself from her new office drinks session. Wow... so touching =) Absent were: Kimhuat (in India), Raymond and Gordon, both have courses.
Lesson Learnt:
The strategy for crab dinners should always have one member who doesn't take crabs; so that she can answer the handphones for the rest who are getting their hands dirty =P.
We also learnt that the restaurant just across the carpark (Blk 233), with much lesser crowd, also serves crab delicacies. They have chefs from the same master. Next time we shall try the stall across the carpark and see if the standard is the same. Maybe there is a reason why the crowd only visits this side of the carpark ;)

There is no Island !!!
Yes, it has been some time since the last good movie surfaced. I must say, this movie did not catch my attention at all earlier. No thanks to the publicity and lousy trailers for the movie. The trailers did not show what the theme was about, and the title somehow relates to "Lost" TV series. Thanks to Pamela who asked to watch this movie :)
This movie has a GREAT storyline. The theme is based on ethics of Genetic Engineering or Cloning for that matter. I liked the hardware... the gadgets they use, that beautiful table and the car and boat!!! And yes not forgetting the incredibly Physics flawed "Wasp" vehicle. Those that love sci-fi and futuristic themes that are realistic, will enjoy this. And this movie is full of it (full of messages that is, heehee).
Without too much disclosure, here is the very cool Official Website:
http://www.theisland-themovie.com/
Ewan McGregor (Star Wars Ep 1 & 2, Moulin Rouge)
Scarlet Johansson (Girl with the Pearl Earring, Lost in Translation)
I enjoyed this movie and I hope you will too.
Side-Note:
I discovered a hidden agenda towards the end of the movie; "God vs Man".
God: Professor
Angels: the clones (their white uniform, and the so innocent behavior)
Serpent (Devil): Leader of Security Team (Djimon Hounsou, the black guy)
Adam & Eve: Lincoln 6E, Jordon 2D (They discovered sex!!!)
:: Thanks to my Visual Arts Module ^^
:: Let me know if you don't catch this point, glad to 'enlighten'.

Birth of a Blog
Pretty satisfied with Blogger I must say... This channel is rather user friendly.
Spent most part of the day exploring the features and codes of this blog. Hopefully I can design my blog and give my own theme soon. Provided I have the time to do it. But this Lighthouse theme is rather soothing. Not bad.

Time to see for myself
After so much hype on blogging... and so much time this week to idle, I have decided to put my fingers to work on blogging. Will see how this goes. I may like it, may not, we shall see.
