			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Valentine&#8217;s Day is around the corner or to be exact next Tuesday. If you are looking to give your girlfriend/fiance/wife flowers, I would totally recommend <a href="http://www.fareastflora.com">Far East Flora</a> (FEF.com).</p>
<p>I have ordered many flowers from FEF.com and each time I am never disappointed with the quality of the flowers. I tried some other companies for flowers during Valentine&#8217;s Day and the quality is horrible, there is once they even staple the stalk of the rose to the wrapper!</p>
<p>Far East Flora has a <a href="http://www.fareastflora.com/SGFLORIST/Main.aspx">mobile app called SG Florist</a> on the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/sg-florist/id457762581?mt=8">App Store</a> (universal app) that allows you to sent flowers to your love ones using your iPhone or iPad. Far East Flora has partnered with <a href="http://www.paypal.com.sg/sg">PayPal</a> for payment on both their website and their iPhone/iPad app and hence making payment is a breeze!</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s walk through the whole process.</p>
<p><span id="more-2145"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6821673625_ab20b160c5.jpg" alt="Loading Screen" title="Loading Screen" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7145/6821673825_ea6712105c.jpg" alt="Country Selection" title="Country Selection" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Loading Screen + Country Selection</strong></p>
<p>FEF.com has branches in Hong Kong as well and hence the country selection.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7147/6821674201_b1174b8cc4.jpg" alt="Surprise" title="Surprise" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6821674387_af99e57c6f.jpg" alt="Login" title="Login" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Surprise + Login</strong></p>
<p>Once the app is loaded, you will get to the surprise screen which display some facts and tips about flowers and occasions (and if you are lucky, you get a discount code). You can shake your iPhone or iPad and new facts and tips will appear.</p>
<p>There is also a login button at the top left hand of the screen for you to login to your FEF.com account. This will load your recipients that you have saved in your FEF.com&#8217;s address book.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6821674793_fa706b157f.jpg" alt="Shop" title="Shop" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7156/6821674943_961bc6014d.jpg" alt="Shop" title="Shop" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Shop</strong></p>
<p>The main screen of this app should be the Shop screen which it allows you to browse all kind of flowers and gifts.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7009/6821675305_c62c9c487a.jpg" alt="Hand Bouquets" title="Hand Bouquets" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Hand Bouquets</strong></p>
<p>Most of the time, I like to give hand bouquets, so I just tapped on the &#8220;Hand Bouquets&#8221; sub-category and it will show me a list of hand bouquets flowers with their names and pricing. You can also sort by date added, highest priced and lowest priced. If you do not like the detailed viewed, you can also switched to the grid view (which I do not really like).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7002/6821675561_825656d91d.jpg" alt="Flower Details - Top" title="Flower Details - Top" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6821675777_cb7fa6f700.jpg" alt="Flower Details - Bottom" title="Flower Details - Bottom" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Flower Details</strong></p>
<p>Tapping on any flowers&#8217; name, will bring you to more details about the flowers like the description of the flowers, earliest delivery timing as well as the option of adding it to your shopping cart.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7162/6821676091_c800079e92.jpg" alt="Add to Bag" title="Add to Bag" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6821676245_af975cd2e1.jpg" alt="Shopping Bag" title="Shopping Bag" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Shopping Bag</strong></p>
<p>They do not literally use the term Shopping Cart, but instead they just use Shopping Bag. Once you tapped &#8220;Add to Bag&#8221; a prompt will appear telling you that you have successfully added the flower to your shopping bag and whether you want to switch to the Shopping Bag screen so you can checkout immediately.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7148/6821676561_27308f3f9c.jpg" alt="Checkout" title="Checkout" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6821673037_9124ed5c2b.jpg" alt="PayPal" title="PayPal" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Checkout</strong></p>
<p>Since I always used my PayPal account for FEF.com because it is much easier (just login to PayPal and click Pay) to checkout compared to native Credit Card payment. I tapped on &#8220;Pay with PayPal&#8221; and it will bring me to PayPal payment page where you have to login to PayPal to process your payment. If you like to see the breakdown of the cost, you can click on the Down Arrow at the top right hand of the screen.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7015/6821673385_5e5d599d1f.jpg" alt="Recipients" title="Recipients" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7167/6821673455_237f56a89f.jpg" alt="Completed" title="Completed" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Completed</strong></p>
<p>Once you have logged-in to PayPal and click Pay, it will redirect you back to FEF.com where you can enter the details of your recipient. Do note that at this time, payment is not yet made. Only after you entered your recipient details and click Pay, then the payment will be processed.</p>
<p>As you can see after I keyed in my recipient details and click Pay, my transaction is completed and I received a confirmation email from FEF.com immediately.</p>
<div class="pressrelease-link"><a href="#" onclick="showhide_toggle('pressrelease', 2145, 'Show Press Release (361 More Words)', 'Hide Press Release (361 Less Words)'); return false;"><span id="pressrelease-toggle-2145">Show Press Release (361 More Words)</span></a></div><div id="pressrelease-content-2145" class="pressrelease-content" style="display: none;"><strong>A Valentine&#8217;s Day Must Have</strong><br />
<em>Shopping has become so much faster and easier when you order flowers and gifts on -the-go with the SG Florist mobile app</em><br />
<em>Available on Apple&#8217;s App Store for iPhone/iPad and on the Nokia Ovi Store</em></p>
<p>Calling all husbands and boyfriends – recall the last time you had to spend hours at a shopping mall hunting for that perfect present for you other half? SG Florist, Singapore&#8217;s FIRST mobile flower and gift delivery app, comes to your rescue. You no longer have to spend time browsing through numerous stores, simply order flowers and gifts from your phone in a jiffy with the SG Florist mobile app.</p>
<p>Flowers and gifts get delivered the same day you order. If you had a really busy day, you can even order flowers for that special someone at 4PM and have the items delivered to them between 7PM to 10PM the same day. If you&#8217;re forgetful, set a reminder in the app to deliver flowers on Valentine&#8217;s Day.  </p>
<p>All you&#8217;ve got to do is tap and swipe though a wide selection of over 1,000 gift options ranging from flower bouquets, plant arrangements, gift hampers, gourmet baskets and even perfumes. Select your gift, add to your shopping bag, and check-out with PayPal in two simple taps. As the app offers &#8216;Pay with PayPal&#8217;, you don&#8217;t even need to enter in your 16 digit credit card number – simply log-on to your PayPal account and confirm purchase. PayPal also provides a safer mobile payment method as no financial details are shared with merchants or stored on mobile devices. With faster, safer mobile payments, PayPal continues to connect shoppers to savvy merchants like Far East Flora who are growing their business through mobile commerce today.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s really cool about this app:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reminders and Wishlist: You can pre-select your favourite gift items under &#8216;Wishlist&#8217; and set reminders for special occasions like birthdays, anniversary and Mother&#8217;s Day.</li>
<li>Sync addresses from phone contacts: You can sync recipients&#8217; addresses and details from your phone contacts. Saves the hassle of typing in addresses.</li>
<li>Surprise:  Tap the &#8216;Surprise&#8217; tab, shake your phone – if you&#8217;re lucky you might get a discount exclusive to SG Florist app users.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.uob.com.sg/">UOB</a> launched their mobile iPhone app (AppStore: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/id437781651">UOB Mobile Banking</a>) yesterday.</p>
<div style="text-align: center;"><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" style="width:600px; height:450px;" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/4EXAvNmRjGQ"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4EXAvNmRjGQ" /></object></div>
<p>Its differentiating factors from local banks&#8217;s iPhone app such as OCBC or DBS/POSB is the access to financial information (deposit/exchange rates, unit trust prices, gold/silver prices) and calculators for personal loans/home equity/financial services.</p>
<p>There is also an augmented reality view that allows you to see latest card promotions/privileges and nearest UOB branches/ATMs. I don&#8217;t particulary find that feature useful though.</p>
<p>My favourite feature of this app is the mobile cash feature. What it simply does it allows you to use your mobile phone to withdraw cash from ATM without the need of an ATM card. When I first heard about it, I was like WTF.</p>
<p>A neater feature built on top of it, is that it even allows you to send money to your friend and even if he is not a UOB customer, he still can withdraw the money from any UOB ATMs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7174/6498372609_65614cd0e1_z.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Mobile Cash</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7168/6499525651_377d2debce.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7172/6499525947_20388570eb.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 1</strong></p>
<p>So how does it work? Upon launching the UOB Mobile Banking app, go to Mobile Cash and select the recipient you want to send the cash to. By default, your name should already be in the list (for you to send money to yourself). Since you are not transferring the money to any bank account, no account number is needed, just the recipient name and his mobile number.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7004/6499525003_1047d03dfa_z.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Add Recipient In iBanking</strong></p>
<p>The only down side is that you can&#8217;t add the recipient using the app itself. So you have to login to the normal Internet Banking via your computer browser to add them or call the UOB Call Centre to get them to add that for you if you are outside.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7010/6499526819_bd78eb2cd4.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7173/6499526333_d36fb24f6c.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Select Recipient / Withdrawal Password</strong></p>
<p>On top of selecting the recipient name and specifying the amount to send, you would also need to specify a 6 digit pin that you would need to tell your recipient.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7144/6499527443_7bb9e16059.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7153/6499527827_a9e650c33c.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 2</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7160/6499528245_0fc7bc0573.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7012/6499528435_ec49a44aaf.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Success / SMS</strong></p>
<p>Once that is done, your recipient will receive a text message and it will contain the transaction code. Using this transaction code and the 6 digit pin that you provided, he can then proceed on to any UOB ATM.</p>
<p>One final verification is the OTP that will be send to your recipient mobile number after he keyed in the 6 digit pin and the transaction code at the ATM. So once he keyed in the OTP, the money you sent to him will be dispensed by the ATM.</p>
<p>Of course there are some security checks in place for such a useful feature and here they are:</p>
<ul>
<li>The sender must register a list of recipients, their relationship with the sender, and the recipients&#8217; personal information (NRIC and mobile numbers, name) before any transfer can take place</li>
<li>An instant SMS-notification and next-day follow up letter will be sent to the sender upon registration, confirming recipient details</li>
<li>An SMS of the mobile cash transaction with the specific reference number is sent to the recipient. This SMS instruction is valid for 24-hours and the sender can cancel a transaction at any time prior to expiry or cash withdrawal by the recipient</li>
<li>A separate withdrawal password which the sender should communicate to the recipient. This is to guard against the loss of the recipient&#8217;s mobile device</li>
<li>The recipient is prompted for the One-Time Password (OTP) upon withdrawal at the UOB ATM</li>
<li>The transaction is automatically voided should the ATM detect a pre-determined number of invalid password attempts</li>
<li>A maximum cumulative transfer amount of S$500 per day per sender</li>
<li>A recipient can receive only one transaction a day</li>
</ul>
<p>I find it pretty neat! I hope all the banks will adopt this!</p>
<p>An Android app is on the way followed by Blackberry and mobile web version next year. A native iPad App is also in the works.</p>

<p><strong>UOB launches First Mobile Banking app with Cardless Cash Withdrawals</strong><br />
<em>New mobile app sets the standard for mobile banking</em></p>
<p>SINGAPORE, 8 December 2011 – United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB) today launched Singapore&#8217;s first mobile banking application that enables cardless cash withdrawals. This Mobile Cash service is part of UOB&#8217;s Mobile application, which can be downloaded for free from the iTunes Store from 12 December 2011.</p>
<p>UOB Mobile allows customers to transfer money to a list of registered recipients, including non-UOB customers. This is done via an instant text message and a one-time password. The recipient can then use this password and a withdrawal password to withdraw cash instantly at more than 600 UOB ATMs in Singapore. UOB is the first bank in Singapore to link its mobile application to instant physical cash access. Its Mobile Cash feature is the fastest way to send cash to family and friends when they need it urgently. </p>
<p>Speaking at the launch of UOB Mobile, Ms Wendy Teo, UOB&#8217;s Head of Group Channels, said: &#8220;Our mobile application is not just about having internet banking transactions on the mobile screen. UOB&#8217;s Mobile Cash gives our customers something new; something they need and something that will help make a difference in their lives. We are essentially putting a &#8216;branch in the hand&#8217; of our customers.</p>
<p>We studied how people use their mobile phone and linked that to our knowledge of their everyday banking needs. From there, we developed Singapore&#8217;s first Mobile Cash application for our customers to transfer money securely and easily. We then broadened the scope to look at what other features would matter to them.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to its innovative Mobile Cash feature, UOB&#8217;s mobile application also offers:</p>
<ul>
<li>Augmented reality &#8211; a &#8216;point and view&#8217; feature of the latest card promotions and privileges, and nearest UOB branches and ATMs. When you tap on the promotion or UOB location, you are given the address and directions to get there. More than 1,000 merchant offers can be found through the application. Access to financial transactions on the go including fund transfers, account balances and bill payment options for more than 100 service providers.</li>
<li>Real-time access to financial information including deposit rates, exchange rates, unit trust prices and gold and silver prices</li>
<li>Calculators to help work out details about personal loans, home equity financing and financial goals.</li>
</ul>
<p>Today, two out of every three UOB customers are registered internet banking users. We expect that many of these customers will use UOB Mobile for their everyday banking needs. The UOB Mobile application is available for iPhones and iPads, with plans to launch Android, Blackberry and Mobile Web versions in 2012.</p>
<p><strong>UOB Mobile Cash Security</strong><br />
UOB has several key protection measures to help ensure customer security, including: </p>
<ul>
<li>The sender must register a list of recipients, their relationship with the sender, and the recipients&#8217; personal information (NRIC and mobile numbers, name) before any transfer can take place</li>
<li>An instant SMS-notification and next-day follow up letter will be sent to the sender upon registration, confirming recipient details</li>
<li>An SMS of the mobile cash transaction with the specific reference number is sent to the recipient. This SMS instruction is valid for 24-hours and the sender can cancel a transaction at any time prior to expiry or cash withdrawal by the recipient</li>

<li>Users just have to visit the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dbs">DBS Facebook Fan Page</a> to get started.</li>

<li>At the end of the campaign (5th September 2011), the highest point earner of each country will earn a 3 days 2 nights vacation of their destination (Singapore, Hong Kong, China, India, Indonesia or Taiwan) of choice.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stickandballoon/moonchild-animated-short-film">Moonchild: Animated Short Film</a>, a Singapore production, by <a href="http://yanyun-chen.blogspot.com/">Stick and Balloon</a> requires some donation to finish their final leg of production.</p>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>
A shy fiddler named Niki meets a lovely moon-spirit and her strange musical band. Amazed and attracted, he sums up the courage and attempts to impress her. But lo’ the nervousness, a note shrieks into the air and pierces the night. Niki despairs as the moon-spirit leaves, disappointed. But as she walks away, a violin hum pulls at her heart and she decides to take a hopeful chance.</p>
<p>An age-old story of music, romance and epic transformation, Stick and Balloon presents a new twist with the marriage of stop-motion and traditional paper animation techniques.</p>
<p>The film is directed, animated and designed by Sara Chong and Chen Yanyun, a pair as complementary as a little red balloon and a long hardy stick.</p>
<p>With the help of &#8220;Mary &#038; Max&#8221; VFX Supervisor Michael Allen, fiddler Marjolaine Parot, composer Jachin Pousson and the beautiful tunes of klezmer and fiddle music by Alicia Svigal, Trad&#8217;ouir, Danilo and Svetozar Milosavljevic, MoonChild weaves together a spirit of sound, sights and heart, which we hope you’ll enjoy.
</p></blockquote>
<p>You can pledge them donations via <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/stickandballoon/moonchild-animated-short-film">Kickstarter</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://apps.facebook.com/mooddiary/">The Mood Diary</a> is a Facebook application developed by my friend, <a href="http://wirused.wordpress.com/">Hong Jun</a> and his team for their CS3216 final project.</p>
<p>I also did 3 Facebook Applications when I took CS3216 2 years back. Time flies man</p>
<p>So what is The Mood Diary?<br />
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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s interesting about this application?</p>
<ul>
<li>Cute emoticons</li>
<li>Ability to retain memories</li>
<li>Easy updater (Bookmarklet)</li>
<li>The ability to interact with friend&#8217;s mood and view friends&#8217; mood diaries (Coming Soon)</li>
<li>Desktop gadget, Twitter &#038; Mobile app integration (Coming Soon)</li>
<li>Mood analysis (Coming Soon)</li>
</ul>
<p>Here are some screenshots and how to post a mood:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2787/4466737660_57b67fcab3_o.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 1: Indicate your happiness level and add an optional reason</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2764/4465962575_eef2f370ed_o.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 2: Choose an emoticon</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2734/4465962593_452a98b49c_o.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 3: Type in additional details</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2799/4466737644_b944dc781f_o.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /><br /><strong>Step 4: You are done!</strong></p>
<p>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</p>
<p>Thanks a lot =D</p>

<p>If you are thinking of looking for a career with the Home Team, then this blog post is for you. Home in on a career that makes a real difference.</p>
<p>The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) will be having a career fair from the 15th January 2010 (Friday) to the 17th January 2010 (Sunday) from 11.30am to 9.30pm daily at Marina Square Central Atrium. </p>
<p>The following 6 departments will be participating in the MHA Career Fair:</p>
<ul>
<li>Singapore Police Force</li>
<li>Internal Security Department</li>
<li>Singapore Civil Defence Force</li>
<li>Singapore Prison Service</li>
<li>Immigration &#038; Checkpoints Authority</li>
<li>Central Narcotics Bureau</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are deciding which department to apply for, you may want to consider the <a href="http://www.spf.gov.sg/career/">Singapore Police Force (SPF)</a>. Everyday will be a difference experience for you, car accident, armed robbery, fighting, suicide and even bizarre things like snakes in the neighbourhood and even cats being stuck on the tree. These experiences will make good stories to share with your friends and even your kids in the future. </p>
<p>I got a friend who is in the SPF for many years and every time we met up, he always share us his experience as a policeman, from gruesome cases like suicide to humorous cases like asking those gangsters who hides a long parang knife in his pants to squat down.</p>
<p>In SPF, you will acquire skills that will turn you into a professional, vested with authority to protect the citizens of Singapore. It will be Real. Rewarding. Respectable.</p>
<p><strong>Ministry of Home Affairs Career Fair 2010</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Citibank’s Mobile Banking Platform went live on the 14th August 2009. Unlike OCBC or Maybank where they chose to have a native iPhone app for their mobile banking, Citibank chooses a web based approach. Instead, you can add the bookmark icon on your home screen for quicker access similar to the native iPhone application.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/1272/075360749e284389ab8462dee65e8fb5.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
<p>The platform consists of two services, namely Citi Mobile and Citi Alerts.</p>
<p><strong>Citi Mobile</strong><br />
Citi Mobile is a customized version of Citibank Online, Citibank’s Internet Banking Platform. The functions available on Citi Mobile are the most popular functions on Citibank Online, such as bill payment, funds transfer and account summary.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/1272/ee7d3d171fed48ed954c1e52cc41ce03.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
<p>Citi Mobile is available to all Citibank’s customers who have Internet access on their mobile phone. You can carry out transactional activities including funds transfers and bill payments using the same Citibank Online login access with your card number and PIN. It is browser-based, and no registration or software download is required.</p>
<p>Here are some benefits of using Citi Mobile:</p>
<ul>
<li>Simple and convenient login &#8211; No enrolment, registration, or software download is required to access mobile banking on your browser, providing you with the flexibility of accessing your account details and managing your banking transactions and activities anytime, anywhere.</li>
<li>Secure process with end-to-end encryption &#8211; To ensure the highest level of security, the two-factor authentication is used. </li>
<li>Flash SMS &#8211; Transactions are protected via the One-Time PIN (OTP). Citibank sends the OTP via Flash SMS to provide superior usability. Flash SMS works similar to the normal SMS but it is not delivered to your SMS inbox. It is used to provide the best user experience, as the SMS will be sent as a layer on top of your browser, saving you the hassle of closing your browser to retrieve your OTP from your SMS inbox.</li>
<li>Citibank Gourmet Pleasures &#8211; Citibank Gourmet Pleasures is a dining privileges programme that offers Singapore’s widest selection of dining deals with Citibank credit cards. With Citi Mobile, you can search via cuisine type or location on the go to identify the best dining deals offered with Citibank credit cards, as well as the latest promotions and offers.</li>
<li>Optimized mobile banking offering &#8211; Citi Mobile is optimized for standard mobile devices, as well as the iPhone, to enhance the end user experience.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/1272/2480930f366d402aa5306c1cf7f45f8f.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
<p>Here are some of the services provided by Citi Mobile:</p>
<ul>
<li>Card and bank accounts balance enquiry</li>
<li>Card and bank accounts transactions enquiry</li>
<li>Credit card payment due date and credit limit enquiry</li>
<li>FX rates information</li>
<li>Funds transfer &#038; bill payment</li>
<li>Information on the best Gourmet Pleasures dining and other deals from Citibank Gourmet Pleasures</li>
<li>ATM and branch locator via FindMyCiti</li>
</ul>
<p>For more information on Citi Mobile, check out <a href="http://www.citibank.com.sg/citimobile">www.citibank.com.sg/citimobile</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Citi Alerts</strong><br />
Citi Alerts is an SMS service that notifies you automatically when a banking activity such as a salary credit or a credit card charge occurs. It also allows you to access your banking and card information on-demand via two-way SMS.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://media.share.ovi.com/m1/s/1272/7237490c7b8044f0b037b2e4b8c46614.jpg" alt="" style="border: 0px;" /></p>
<p>There are two ways you can be alerted using Citi Alerts.<br />
Alerts on Demand allows you to request a variety of information via an SMS to a pre-set number, including your account balance, outstanding credit card bill, and last four credit card transactions.<br />
Here are some examples of Alerts on Demand:</p>
<ul>
<li>Card and bank accounts balance enquiry</li>
<li>Card and bank accounts transactions enquiry (for last four transactions)</li>
<li>Available credit line and outstanding credit card bill</li>
</ul>
<p>Alerts offer you SMS notifications when you receive a GIRO credit of a specified amount, or when a charge above a pre-set amount is swiped on your credit card. You can customize which alert you wish to receive.<br />
Here are some examples of Alerts:</p>
<ul>
<li>Receive an alert whenever a GIRO credit is made to the account</li>
<li>Receive an alert whenever a transaction occurs on the credit or debit card</li>
<li>Receive an alert when an online payment or transfer is made</li>
<li>Receive an alert when a cheque has bounced, or when it has been cleared</li>
<li>Receive an alert when a credit card / Ready Credit payment has been received</li>
<li>Receive an alert when a Premium Account expires, Time Deposit is due to mature, or Time Deposit has matured</li>
</ul>

I would need to blog one post every 3 to 4 days during this period.</p>
<p>Let me introduce three things in this post:</p>
<ul>
<li>What is Infocomm123</li>
<li>iLike. iLink Contest</li>
<li>X-Box Xtravanganz</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>What is Infocomm123?</strong><br />
Infocomm123.sg (&#8220;Infocomm123&#8243;) is a one-stop portal to get all one&#8217;s infocomm answers. Users can post questions on the portal and have fellow users answering them on the popular feature &#8220;<a href="http://www.infocomm123.sg/iask/ask_a_question">iAsk</a>. <a href="http://www.infocomm123.sg/ianswer/view_all_questions">iAnswer</a>&#8220;. Aside from this useful feature, there are a plethora of articles on infocomm topics on Big Fact Book. Interactive starter kits, e-Government guides and calendar of infocomm events are also all found on Infocomm123.</p>
<p>Think of it as <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/">Yahoo Answers</a> but in a more local context and the topics revolve around Infocomm Technology. It just takes you 5 minutes of your time to <a href="http://www.infocomm123.sg/registration_form">register</a> (no email activation is required) and you after that you can proceed on in <a href="http://www.infocomm123.sg/iask/ask_a_question">asking your question</a>. Most of the <a href="http://www.infocomm123.sg/ianswer/view_all_questions">questions asked</a> have a reply and there are rewards for people who reply to questions, which I will talk about in the X-Box Xtravanganz.</p>
