What 5AM being up to recently…

Alot happen since I last updated, like I joined Lifegame Camp, I fell sick for a week, went grass-boarding, watched lottas movies, King of Pop, MJ, died (could have blog about that) and most importantly I changed my SPEC. Isn’t that cool. Huh? Rite? Nice rite? Err… okay I guess that wasn’t the most important thing.

So here’s a little short clip of photo taken during Lifegame Camp.

And if you still don’t think its cool… look! There’s even a robbery case on the camp itself. We organized it… Errmmm I meant someone organized it. I’m not involved =P I am a law abiding policeman in the camp…

and I got married to a fellow female policewomen and led a wonderful life… and having 3 kids.

Tell me. How many camp allow you to get married and have kids?

Oh yah. Notice the new spec on that previous picture? =D Need to change one coz army dun allow colourful spec =( I also had new phone (w/ torchlight) and a new LED torchlight and a new alarm clock that can never wake me up (tried it this morning. End up. Waking up the whole family except me).

I’m still having serious sore throat and cough now =( (pls don’t let 5and noes about it).

Watch up for the Twitter update status. I will try to Tweet often while Im confined in camp to update you guys =D

Was re-watching Fantastic 4 and I totally loved Human Torch.

Here’s your chance to become Human Torch. It requires you to have a webcam and you need to allow the flash to use your webcam before you can set yourself on fire ;) Flame-on!

Get Adobe Flash player

This is one of the flash we were playing around when I was working at my internship company. Cool huh. It was done with actionscipt 3.0. In the future, I will post more Flash project for your viewing pleasure ;) Ciao ‘toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=630,height=600, top=0, left=0′)”>Mail this post

The Future… (part 2)

Part 1 can be found here. Its just a video of the future vision by Microsoft. (Part 2 will be talking about MY future)

GOOD NEWS! Realizing that my readers are coming back to check for update more often after my last few posts, I decided to start writing often again. (this post is boring and texty, read it only if you can’t get to sleep)

For those of you who know me personally, you would have know that my passion is to be an entrepreneur, a businessman, a boss. However, when I was asked what kind of business do I want to go into, I would have given the excuses that I have 2 years serving in the army to think about it. The truth is, I do not know what I want to do. That was still me a few day ago…

Is it sooo… hard to think what kind of business to open? Answer = yes. At the back of my head, what we as designer can do is… web design company, t-shirt company, magazine company etc. These are the kind of business that a normal ‘businessman’ would open, but not an entrepreneur. There’s a distinct different between someone who just setup business(for the sake of being boss) and an entrepreneur. Unlike most bosses, entrepreneurs are the ones who look for opportunities and come up with innovative solutions.

Secondly, the business I want to open should also involve people around me. Like my friends for example, who is mainly designers. I hope to get them in as partners and work together in the future. Deep inside me, I’m always a designer and is proud to be one, so no matter what is the nature of the business, it shouldn’t deviate too far away from design.

Some of you guys might have known that I am also into Internet Marketing and a more or less experienced in SEO (i owned a few sites that has over 10k of visitors per month) but I never intended to make it my core business. So what if I can make alot of moola online? … staying at home all alone, working. Little social interaction, little challenges… totally boring life. Don’t be mistaken, it extremely lucrative and profitable online. If I work full-time as an online marketer, 1k per day is not an impossible task. However what’s the fun of it all? I remembered William was sharing that the reason he’s going Cambodia to help up and to serve the Lord is because when he reached the end of his life, he wanted to be able look back and find that he had led a meaningful life. No regrets.

What I am trying to say is… after long period of brainstorming. I finally thought of what I wanted to do. I do not want to reveal my business plan here. If you are interested, just ask me personally. Hints: Advertising, Surface Computing, Cloud Computing… That is probably too revealing already. So ciao, have a nice day! ‘toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=630,height=600, top=0, left=0′)”>Mail this post

New Blogskin, extra features and more of 5am

Hey guys, come join Twitter and start following everyone else that matter to you. For those who do know what Twitter is for, here’s a short video intro to Twitter =) My blog is Twittered-enabled btw. Look at the side bar –> =D

Some people might be wondering why I changed my blog theme (a.k.a blogskin). It was purely an accident. Most of you should know how busy I have being recently that I haven’t got the time to even update my blog, let alone revamp my blog design.

I just wanted to update my blog to the new version of wordpress but I accidentally overwrite the theme folder. And it was gone… all gone. My green-mouldy-looking theme. I actually like it very much. Especially since my ‘heady’ integrate nicely into the website.

It was gone! I don’t even have a screenshot of it to keep as a memory. What a waste. So I just grab another decent-looking theme. It needed something more… something which shout out “5AMUEL!”, something uniquely me.

So here’s what I added on top of the default configuration of the Theme: a tagboard, my heady, my heady with a twitter bird, my heady twitter bird shouting out a latest TWEET from Twitter, a photo album (pictures dynamically grabbed from my Facebook photos), and a hidden feature =)

Don’t want to keep you in suspense. For those of you who owns an android phone, iphone or ipod touch… use your device to check up my blog. My blog is IPhone/IPod Touch/Android-enabled.

Before my update… viewing my blog through an iphone would take. *Start Timer…* *Stop Timer* 24 seconds. With the new update, loading up the page will take only *Start Timer…* *Stop Timer* 6 seconds.

Not to mention it look cleaner and nicer to navigate =) A treat to all my dear readers on the move =)

I want to take this time to also thanks my readers. Sometime, I just don’t feel the drive to take the effort to write an interesting post. But you readers are the reason I kept on writing. I may not be a pro-blogger who made his living through blogging, but I take the task of entertaining you guys seriously.

Well, keep tagging and commenting ;) ‘toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=630,height=600, top=0, left=0′)”>Mail this post

Give you h*ll???

I guess I need to update my blog. I can start seeing search-engine spiderweb and digital dust settling on the blog. I’m just busy with my work and I am on a tight schedule.

So here I am. What should I talk? Living life to the fullest. Working hard, playing harder… I think I shall share with you one of my favorite song. I was just playing Tap Tap Revenge 2 on my iPod Touch when I saw the song, ‘Give you Hell’ by All-American Rejects available for download.

Nice song. That’s why after playing, I decided to go look for the music video but… the video is not as nice as I expected… (see it for yourself)

Well that’s about it for today’s ‘SHARING’.

Update on my life: (more interesting things)

went to the Singapore Flyer
watch Angels & Demons
watch Dance Subaru
working from 9am to 5am (-uel)
making a killing on my internet business (Ka-ching!)

… otherwise life pretty average.

I hope something BIG and more EXCITING so I can blog more about it. ‘toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=630,height=600, top=0, left=0′)”>Mail this post
