The Mood Diary is a Facebook application developed by my friend, Hong Jun and his team for their CS3216 final project.

I also did 3 Facebook Applications when I took CS3216 2 years back. Time flies man

So what is The Mood Diary?
Basically, Mood diary is a collection of moods and feelings that you pen down at any time of the day. Thus memories will not be lost and you can relive the precious moments!

What is missing from the status updates and micro blogging tools such as Twitter is the ability to retain memories. Although everything is stored inside the databases, it is hard to look back because there is not much meaning in a 140 character status update, and it is hard to click back all the time to view the status updates you have written back then. Blogging was a form to retain memories in the past, however, as people get busier with their lives, it is hard to set aside time to retain memories. Thus this application hopes to combine the power of micro blogging, pictures which speak a thousand words, and the ability to retain memories to bridge this gap.

So what’s interesting about this application?

  • Cute emoticons
  • Ability to retain memories
  • Easy updater (Bookmarklet)
  • The ability to interact with friend’s mood and view friends’ mood diaries (Coming Soon)
  • Desktop gadget, Twitter & Mobile app integration (Coming Soon)
  • Mood analysis (Coming Soon)

Here are some screenshots and how to post a mood:


Step 1: Indicate your happiness level and add an optional reason


Step 2: Choose an emoticon


Step 3: Type in additional details


Step 4: You are done!

As this is a school module, the most important KPI for this project is the number of users who installed and use the application. It would be greate if you can help out, do add and use their application =D

Thanks a lot =D

Celebrated my 26th Birthday at Resort World’s Chilli’s yesterday. It was my second time at Chilli’s, first time was at Tanglin Mall branch. Chilli’s food is fantastic but it is a bit pricey. Love the free flow of Tostada Chip for only SGD$6.90. The steak is very expensive, SGD$41.90, totally not worth it, don’t bother trying. But the Fajitas is very nice.

I love my Dell 2408WFP Monitor because it has not 1 but 2 DVI ports! This allows me to connect to my Windows desktop as well as to my MacBook Pro without physically switching the DVI cables from my monitor.

As I have been using Mac a lot during office hours, I wanted the same setup I have in my office at home which is 1 external monitor and dual screen it with my MacBook Pro. In order not to clutter my desk with too many items, I bought the Apple Wireless Keyboard for SGD$98 and together with my Apple Magic Mouse paired using bluetooth to my MacBook Pro, I am able to have both Mac and Windows environment with just a single monitor but having 2 separate sets of keyboard and mouse.

I checked & verified it with BizFile. I paid SGD$5 and extracted more information on it.

Registration Number: 201004959C
Company Name: FACEBOOK SINGAPORE PTE. LTD.
Type: LIMITED PRIVATE COMPANY
Description: ADVERTISING SALE
Address: 1 TEMASEK AVENUE, #27-01, MILLENIA TOWER, SINGAPORE (039192)
Paid Up Capital: SGD$1 (WTF?)

If you google “1 TEMASEK AVENUE, #27-01″, you will notice other companies with the same address as well, so I am guessing this is just a shell and they have yet to set up a proper office in Singapore. With a paid up capital of SGD$1 from a multi-billion dollar company is also pretty ridiculous.
