XBOX 360 - Complex Machine....err

"It’s a few reports of consoles here and there not working properly," said Molly O’Donnell, a spokeswoman for Microsoft’s Xbox division. "It’s what you would expect with a consumer electronics instrument of this complexity

Above was an excerpt from a news article regarding the XBOX 360 with some console having problems and crashes during gameplay.

Well, if you go by above reasoning, if you buy a car and a car being a complex instrument, and if the brakes don't work and the car crashes and kills the driver, it is to be expected???

Or better yet, if you buy an airplane and the airplane is even more complex than the car, the airplane crashes and it is to be expected???

What the FARK is this MOLLY woman yapping about?????

24 Hrs Singapore!!

Just saw MM Lee on TV talking about Dubai and his views on how fast that place has progressed and how impressed he was with the growth of the city!! It's a busy buzzing little City in the middle of conflict lands! A shining diamond in a pool of oil!!

MM Lee was there just one week after me and both me and him hold the same views! Great minds do see and think alike...hehehe somehow!!!

Anyways, enough of that but seriously! Just look at their airport and our airport! It's so alike but yet, one is lazier than the other. By that I mean the shops! Inside the Dubai airport, shops open 24 hours for 24/7. Here in Changi, it's a great airport by the way, the shops closed at 12am. Why?? Electricity too high?? It's not as if they switch off the lites and air conditioning anyways and there are still passengers taking off and arriving late at nite, why not open the shops there for 24 hours as well?? You can do more business there from the transit passengers for 24 hrs for 7 days a week!! As to the cost vs the returns, am sure the returns will justify it no?

Why not then even allow and make it compulsory for more shops like Mustafa center with 24 hrs shopping? Just imagine, a 24 hrs Orchard Road!! or at least a late nite Orchard road like say on Friday and Saturday where shops all open till 12am? This should bring more tourist and keep businesses operating longer!! Maybe I am wrong, but but but, Singapore do lack the buzz....

I cant explain the buzz! But it's something that I don't really feel in Singapore. All is nice and hunky dory on the outside but seriously, the question is what next? What's buzzing next? I don't mean the freaking bees!! I mean, what's there to keep us entertained next? What's there to look forward to besides the same old, same old? Yes, Singapore will soon have the Casino (provided they sort out the intricacies) and yes, Singapore will have Crazy Horse, but what about now? What can we change now to bring out the buzz??

A 24 hrs city is my answer! 24 hrs shopping, 24 hrs cinema, 24 hrs bar and restaurants, 24 hrs clubbing, a city that never sleeps! That should put the buzz on!.....at least for awhile, till we have the 24 hours CASINO!! Wooooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!

Coz, seriously, the infrastructure is all there and great, why not maximise it?.......

The Desert Pt II

This is a prove that there is Life in the desert!!!
Driver's beware!

You know how a lot of people who came back from Australia have that yellow sign with the Koala label that they stick in their cars??

Wonder if I can make this one with the Camel as popular!!!

Kerching Kerching!!

Ali Baba Land

I was in Alibaba land (well not exactly but actually somewhere real close!) for about a week! This is my first time ever to set foot in the Middle East and despite all the bad press about the middle east, this particular country is truly amazing and I must say, I was both impressed and amazed at how fast this country grew from a poor port city to becoming a cosmopolitan country in the Middle East. This city is Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates.

Dubai is a stark contrast to some of its neighbours in terms of personal freedom, world standing and stability even though you are in the middle east(images of terrorism and war is the label for the Middle East), the country sets itself apart from the rest of the middle east country by adopting clearly a Globalised approach to its development in terms of its economies and civil liberties. It is indeed a melting pot of different cultures from around the middle east to the west of africa, to the north Europe and to the Far East.

You can feel the buzz of the city the moment you step into the airport which houses a 24 hours duty free shopping arcade. As you drive into the city, you can clearly see that this is a city that keeps reinventing itself to keep ahead of the competition and distance itself from its feudalistic and oppressive neighbours.

The question that begs to be answered is then how come, its neighbours cannot adopt the policies that the Sheikh has to make this place truly a great city for all to live in and maintain peace and prosperity?

Why cant we as humans live in peace and practice tolerence and moderation?

Why must everything be in absolution? We are people of the world, with different skin color, different languages, different features and different cultures but we are still human.
