My World. My Space. My Soul.

It is here again. Honestly, this is the only event that gets me excited as an alumnus of YJC.

Tickets are priced at $10/-. They can be bought at the event itself or from any existing YJCians, students and teachers alike. If you see any YJCians on the street, stop them and ask for a ticket or two.

The event will be held on the 27th Feb 2010, 9am – 5pm. It is a Saturday, exactly a month away. Cross the date out for this funfair! There is no excuses such as you have to work or it is for family only. If your family day on Saturdays, CVD makes a great event for your kids to come. There are events targeting children and teenagers. If you are lazy to wake up from a long week at work, that’s what the 5pm end-time is for. If you stay in the east side of Singapore, that is what the 5pm is for too.

This is for a good cause. Proceeds from this year’s CVD will go to Singapore Disability Sports Council. In addition, to reflect Singapore as the host city for the inaugural Youth Olympics Games, CVD ’s theme is “Fiesta de Olympic Agones” (Fiesta of Olympic Games). So do expect a day filled with games and fun!

Enough said, do visit the College’s CVD page on school website or make a reminder or two at Facebook or in your calendar!

There will be a flash mob later at Orchard. I just received news of it on Facebook. It is perfect for those who wants to have pillow fights. Remember to bring pillows for it. Please refer to the Facebook event page for more information.

P.S. I am falling sick. It is probable that I will not be there.

The debate between Fusion Garage and Tech Crunch over Crunchpad and Joo Joo has heated up to another level. Micheal Arrington has made a sweeping statement:

Singapore indeed does not have a free go on what can be published on the press. What is deemed as unsavory to the local population at large is censored out or left out entirely. Minor foreign news are left on the editor’s desks for days at a stretch before being published out. But it is utterly false that Singapore Government controls the bloggers in Singapore as well. We do write stuff criticising the Government, the policies and infrastructure. We never did once receive any instructions to write stuff praising the Government or censor out any unsavory parts of the post (we do remove posts if they contravene with any law at any point in time).

Embarrassing parts just is not reported? Hm, so what do you want us to report?

Do your homework first before you generalise the entire local blogsphere. The same statements you make, Micheal, Arrington, can be made against you and your fellow American bloggers. Lastly, did you not say that there won’t be another more posts on Crunchpad coming from you or TechCrunch? Tsk tsk.

P.S. Singaporean bloggers, please join the Facebook group: I am a blogger in Singapore and I am NOT controlled by the government as a form of support. A blog post from you will also help to raise awareness on how wrong Micheal Arrington is.

It is here! Not really. I still have 10 more days to ORD. Back to the topic, there is this guy who uploaded a video on Facebook singing about his joy of ORD-ing and getting his pink IC back. His singing is off, but it is just amusing. Enjoy. Oh, by the way, if the video is down, do tell me in the comments. There is no point having the post without the video.

I enabled cross-posting to Facebook from my blog a long time ago. I know the readership isn’t high, but I do get some clicks from the Notes there. I wonder if everyone knows that Facebook does not allow posting of videos or any embed objects in the Notes. About half of my posts contain embedded objects in one way or another. Majority of them come from Youtube and even Facebook videos.

To save the hassle of clicking on every single post to check for such objects, posts with them have prefix (ie, Facebook Video, Youtube, etc) attached to the title. I hope that helps.
