I want an Apple 16GB iPad WiFi + 3G version, tried ordering from comGateway, but my order got rejected the next day because of overwhelming response. I briefly mention about it to my colleague, Alon, and he said I could just order it online from Apple Store and ship it to his house and he will bring it to Singapore the next time he comes.

So I did just that! Ordered on 22nd April 2010, status change to “Prepared to Ship” on 1st May 2010 and was shipped on the 7th May 2010.

Steam for Mac is now available for download and you will get Portal for free!

Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it’s free. End of story.
Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they’re entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultaneously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

Time flies, I have been working in mig33 since 1st February 2010 and my 3 months probation is up and the good new is that I have been confirmed! It is my first job and I enjoyed what I am doing and during the process learning lots of new stuff especially in using ExtJS and proper MVC coding in PHP.

Woot, I am overjoyed, shall go out and celebrate this weekend!

Yeap, you heard that right, iPad is coming to Singapore in July 2010 together with Austria, Belgium, Hong Kong, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands and New Zealand.

CUPERTINO, California—May 7, 2010—Apple today announced that iPad will be available in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK on Friday, May 28. Customers can pre-order all iPad models from Apple’s online store in all nine countries beginning on Monday, May 10. In the US, Apple has already sold over one million iPads and customers have downloaded over 12 million apps from the App Store, as well as over 1.5 million ebooks from the new iBookstore.

Yes, you heard it! Finally! Well done SingTel

Singapore, 7 May, 2010 – Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel) today announced that it has secured the broadcast rights to the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ to be held in South Africa and will offer all 64 matches ‘live’ on mio TV and mobile, with complimentary viewing on the internet. All mio TV viewers will be able to enjoy the matches in high definition. Viewers in Singapore can catch all the action with SingTel’s 2010 FIFA World Cup™ Package (the “Package”), available for purchase from 7 May 2010.

YES, finally after 3 years Blizzard announced Starcraft 2 at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Seoul, South Korea on 19th may 2007, we can finally see it in stores on the 27th July 2010!

Starcraft II will consist of 3 games, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty (Terran Missions), StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm (Zerg Missions) and Starcraft II: Legacy of the Void (Protoss Missions), this is Blizzard way of milking more money from us. But regardless, I am getting all 3! Now I am left undecided whether to get the Mac version or the Windows version.
