Project RunThruSingapore

To celebrate Singapore's 46th year of Nation building, Steadi Productions had made a video showing an epic journey of a young man exploring the beauty of Singapore by running across the entire nation (in a day), passing through places that are new, old and even unexplored by Singaporeans.

The video shows many iconic places in Singapore and will be useful for foreign friends who want a glimpse of modern Singapore's landscape.

In A Heartbeat

Singapore celebrates its 46 years of Independence and here is a video of this year's National Day Parade theme song, titled "In A Heartbeat".



I have a dream of starting a life
I have a hope, a flame alight
This is the moment, freedom is calling
This is my start, a new beginning

I have a heart, it beats for you
A step at a time, our spirit renew
Living together under the sun
Our hearts will beat as one

In a heartbeat, I’ll be there for you
In a heartbeat, no one else will do
In a heartbeat, we will always be
Together, united; you and me

In a heartbeat, time has passed us by
In a heartbeat, we will reach the sky
In a heartbeat, this will always be
Our people, our country
This is our family

Nothing will stand in our way
We can be strong today
The flame is alive
This is our life

In a heartbeat, I’ll be there for you
In a heartbeat, no one else will do
In a heartbeat, we will always be
Together, united; you and me

In a heartbeat, time has passed us by
In a heartbeat, we will reach the sky
In a heartbeat, this will always be
Our people, our country
This is our family

Soccer Boy

The internet has uncovered a new wonder-kid footballing talent from Japan. A video of a “nine-year-old Japanese Messi” has gone viral, as people around the world are dazzled by this new talent who seems to be able to just skip around players with ease.

Watching the video though, you can see why the player is being compared to Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi as he shows amazing close control to dribble past opponents in a similar fashion to the pint-sized Argentine football wizard.

And here's a reminder of how amazing Lionel Messi is:

iPad 2

When the Apple iPad was announced in January 2010, sanitary jokes flowed fast and furious. But 15 millions units sold within 9-months in the year ended 2010, no one is laughing anymore. The iPad has became a blockbuster and truly the tablet of the year in 2010.

A year had gone by, and it is time for The iPad 2 to be released. Many of you would have already seen the video of the keynote announcement of iPad 2. For those who had missed the announcement, or do not want to watch the lengthy version (60+ mins long) of it, here's the iPad 2 official video.



If you are someone who won't buy into all these hype, you would enjoy this video unearthed by Conan O'Brien.

Super Bowl 2011 Commercials

Super Bowl 2011 coincided with the Chinese New Year long weekend and was the reason why this was posted a little delayed.

It's that time of the year and only time of the year that I'd enjoyed having commercials breaks on TV. But due to time difference, I always watched the Super Bowl commercials online, and have the time to enjoyed them and picked my favourites.

There was not one commercials that stood out this year, but my favourite this year has got to be the Darth Vader Kid, Volkswagen commercial.



But if you don't have the time to watch all 61 Super Bowl 2011 commercials, here's a video compilation of all 61 ads in a 2-mins video.

Chinese New Year Photos

The Lunar New Year is a time of colorful festivities and joyous celebrations for us Chinese. Here are some Histamatic prints I took from my iPhone during the Chinese New Year long weekend break.






Here's wishing all my friends a Happy and Prosperous Year of the Rabbit!

Pilots VS Mechanics

A friend emailed the following to me, I thought I would share with you....


It takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a 'gripe sheet,' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews, albeit they may lack a formal higher education, has ever lacked a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS ' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.


By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, had an accident.

The Rise of The Phoenix

The "Phoenix" painted in Chilean colors of red, white and blue, was lowered and raised for the 33rd time and the last miner was rescued from the San Jose mine in Chile after being trapped 700m underground for 70 days!

33 men resurfaced one after another, in a 22 hours rescue operation.

We lived in less than heroic times and the miners have been our teachers through their ordeals. Their old-fashioned heroism had taught us to keep the faith, staying the course, not losing hope. The rescuers lifted them from their underground "hell" one by one, but truly, it was they who had lifted an entire nation, and the world beyond.
