My client Canon Singapore recently launched a contest for existing Canon users to win a brand new Powershot SX230 HS compact camera.
Mainly, the new feature in this camera is the built-in GPS which auto tags your photos so you’ll know where exactly you took them. I think that’s really useful for holidaymakers. I have to admit when I was in Rome, I took so many photos that afterwards, I could hardly remember the names of the places I went to! With the GPS function, I would have been easily able …

I know I’ve been an absolute sloth about this, but as some of you know, I just got married yada-yada, and I didn’t have time to post this!
So here are the 3 winners of the little giveaway I had a couple of weeks back!

Congrats, y’all! I will be emailing you soon to get your mailing address so I can send you the vouchers! Do go down to the FRANK stores and get your card soon. Let me know which one you’ve chosen, okay?

By the way, look at what the awesome …

Some time ago, I was invited by OCBC to the launch of their new FRANK Store at NTU. (Yes, I’ve been an absolute sloth with this blog post; the store opened in June 2011).
But that doesn’t mean I don’t have a good reason to still share the news with those of you who don’t know about this!
“What is FRANK by OCBC?” you may be wondering. So I’m going to try to explain it the way I see it, and hopefully you guys will like the concept as much as I …

YAY! I just received a registered mail package this morning. Opened it and found my new portable mobile phone charger.

I bought this charger from Deal.com.sg at S$39.90 last month, when local company Andino Holdings launched their new product, the Andino PowerPlus™ Xtreme 5000mAh. Nearly 1000 people in Singapore grabbed the deal over the few days it was running.

To me, it was a good deal, at S$39.90 what more with the S$18 in Deal credits that I had. I was considering buying the Sanyo Eneloop Mobile Booster, which was being sold on eBay for $65 but …

Many of you must have read at least one book by Canadian author Malcolm Gladwell, whose books The Tipping Point, Outliers and Blink have all made it to the Number 1 spot on the New York Times best-sellers list.
This August, I’m privileged to be invited by the Singapore Institute of Management (SIM) for their 30th SIM Annual Management Lecture (AML), where Malcolm Gladwell will be speaking in two keynote presentations:
1. The Human Capitalization Challenge
2. The Entrepreneurial Profile
I’ve read two of Gladwell’s books, and I’m definitely excited to hear him speak …

If you’re a fan of TEDx, you’ll definitely like this series of talks brought to you by the NUS Office of Alumni Relations.
Every month, U@live brings 1 speaker from the NUS community (students, faculty, alumni) to the central stage to speak for 10 minutes. This forum is meant to inspire young people to believe in the causes they are inspired about, to take action, and in turn, inspire others.
I know what you’re thinking: Do I need to be an NUS Community member to participate and/or attend? Nope! Anyone is welcome to participate …

Dear Roomorama.com,
I still clearly remember how we first met.
Some time in January this year, I was complaining on Twitter that London hotels and even budget accommodation were so exorbitantly priced, and that the ones within my budget were dingy, dodgy and disgustingly flea-ridden (according to tripadvisor reviews).
Suddenly, out of nowhere, I received a Tweet from you, asking me to consider the various apartments available on your website for rent.

My initial thought was: “Pssh. Property agents!” – But after checking out your Twitter profile page, I was surprised to find that …

Important Update: As at 20 June 2011, the contest mechanics have been updated. Just follow the steps below!
Some of you who follow me on Twitter and Facebook must have seen my updates about the Hotmail / Windows Live “Save Social Energy” Campaign that I was involved in some time in April.
Hotmail generously sent me to Kuala Lumpur to watch Bruno Mars live in concert. I travelled luxuriously by SIA to KL, and stayed at Traders Hotel in the city centre while I was there! Read more here!
This time, Hotmail is …

Have you heard? Bruno Mars is heading to Kuala Lumpur for a concert! And yeah, bummer. He’s not dropping by Singapore at all!
As of now, all the tickets for the concert are are sold out.  But the good news is, Hotmail has one pair of tickets left to give away as a Thank You to its fans and users. What has Bruno Mars got to do with Hotmail? Read on to find out, and when you’re done, sign up for what looks like the best opportunity to get your hands on …
