4th (4G) Generation iPhone to be annouced on June 22nd 2010

And so as told by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ). Soon after the news broke, we were informed that the next-generation iPhone would be announced on June 22nd (a Tuesday, naturally) and would be dubbed the iPhone HD (a name that has been tossed around before). That certainly makes sense given that Apple almost certainly has to...

Birthday Celebrations at La Tasca’s Spanish Restaurant

And so I was at La Tasca Cambridge, for my 26th Birthday celebrations. It's a treat and get together for everyone for a table of 9 collegemates. The Spanish food was good and so was the service, we also had a dedicated waiter throughout the serving. Had had the "Tapas to share", which was an assortment of...

PhotoStitch paranoma galleries updated!

After spending the last 2 days sloughing through hundreds of photographs (even to the extent of Photoshop glitching when putting together several 12 Megapixel images to form an image over 32000 pixels in width), it is finally done! The photo stitch gallery had received a significant update with all the panoramas I've captured over the last few...

London: British Museum & 39 Steps!

Ah yes, so much for mentioning the British Museum & 39 Steps in the post title, actually the whole reason for me to be in London last Saturday was an invitation to a lunch seminar at Royal Garden Hotel organized by PS(D) for SAFOS, SMS, DMS and DSTA Scholars studying in UK. It was a rather small...

It was devastating, nine days after an 8.8-magnitude earthquake killed hundreds of people in south-central Chile, relief efforts were beginning to reach those in need, rescue missions became recovery missions, and rebuilding is already under way.

Happy Chinese New Year of the Tiger!

Welcome the year of the tiger! A whole new year on the lunar calendar. There had been much talk among the Chinese group here in Cambridge with regards to the new year, particularly how it is celebrated in various countries, with experiences of their own, let be in China or Malaysia. Things here in the UK are...

When things go pop! Destructive testing in the materials laboratory

Guess what we get to do in the engineering laboratories today, well it's not everyday where you get to use the words "copper, steel and liquid nitrogen" in the same sentence nor being able to work with them in the lab at a go. But not when you are during destructive testing of material specimens in the...

Sights along the London River Thames

London is a world class city with much to explore, given the sights at almost every corner. But you won't be able to call your visit to London complete without a walk by the Thames itself. With the exception of the markets and some museum, many of London's main attractions and viewing sites are all conveniently located...

Apple iPad annouced, not a workhorse, but hey it can run iPhone apps!

It interesting that such technology and capability already existed ages ago, but no one seemed to put it all together for the consumer. Apple seem to always get that right, this time they are doing it again with a new slate tablet computer called the iPad. At first glance, it looks like an over sized iPhone, which the...

Cambridge University 800th laser & light show finale

What other cooler way to mark the end of the university's 800th anniversary celebration with a cool and ambient lightshow held at night with fire art performances? Apparently, the whole stretch along Cambridge King's parade street was closed for much of the night's last week for the event, consisting mostly of laser and light shows. The crowds...

Cardiff Wales Trip (Barry Island & Castles in Cardiff and St Fagans)

In stark contrast to the modern buzzes of life in Cardiff, this second part of my Cardiff trip will cover trips to more medieval parts of town, particular the Cardiff castle and the St Fagans village and National History Museum. The Castell Caerdydd, which most of us come to know as the Cardiff Castle is a medieval castle...

Avatar the movie in 3D

Caught Avatar 3D yesterday afternoon at the Vue Cinema in Grafton shopping center. Yes I know it's been a month since it was released and everyone had already watched it, let be some even 2 to 3 times, so this rant is not new. But I had not really been watching movies very often these days, let...

Hello 2010! What you have for me to date…

And hey, it’s 2010 and we are almost more than a week into it already. A whole new year, a whole new year of possibilities and expectations! So far so good, but still largely very far away from home. Well not that I actually miss home, much, but I guess the bore of work seems to creep up...

Happy new year from London!

And so 2009 comes to end with 2010 already here. I was in London to formally welcome 2010 with a group of friends, technically it’s one of the few major cities where the countdown is telecasted worldwide (besides Tokyo, LA, etc) and man was it a bashingly crowded. You will be greeted with a human wall crowd...
