Tickets booked!

Widget development @ Cellcity

Can't remember when I last blogged about work. Since the very beginning, I have moved from gathering data for website content, to managing part-timers for that same purpose, to creating and managing a presence on Twitter for website content promotion. Plus some other duties on and off, like sending out eDMs and updating the coupons on our website. Now, I'm on widgets testing!

Our current main product line is a series of GO widgets (mobile applications), breaking our original DC2Go content into GO EAT, GO PARTY, GO SHOP, and GO EXPLORE. Primary features include browsing and searching for merchants, check out driving directions using GPS, click-to-call for reservations, and share the info with friends via SMS or email.

The Marketing team has been assigned to QA the end products before they finally get published online across various app stores. Recently, we've just approved our first batch of GO EAT widgets for Nokia's S60 5th Edition family. Hopefully they will be up on the Ovi Store shortly. (Nokia still has to test and approve..)

We already have two free apps on the Ovi Store. :)
1) Buses@ Sg A Singapore bus guide lets you know which bus to take and when it will arrive.
2) Check Flights Suitable for any traveler, live updates on flight schedules.

We also worked with DBS Bank in Singapore to put together a free DBS Indulge mobile app! (If you are familiar with DBS promos, DBS Indulge has been ongoing providing DBS debit/credit card holders exclusive dining discounts..) This app is also on the Ovi Store and linked from the popular Hungrygowhere.com DBS Indulge Foodster page.

Couple weeks ago, I also attended, as from a mobile developer perspective, MDA's FutureMobile initiative launch event, where partnering networks (Nokia, Singtel, Microsoft etc.) put together a presentation & demo session to call for talented mobile content and application proposals in mobi lifestyle, games, and healthcare. The objective is to build Singapore into a mobile publishing hub.

Zingmobile caught my attention in particular - they have signed rights to the Jay Chou IP!!! :D So want to see what Jay Chou apps or mobi content people would come up with. I can't decide what I would do either, perhaps I should start my own list. hehe

That's all for now. Hope to bring more status updates on our mobile apps development soon. :p

愛我別走

3 versions of the same song. Whose version do you like better? :p

Jay Chou:


Hehe u noe my pick lah.

我到了这个时候还是一样
夜里的寂寞容易叫人悲伤
我不敢想的太多
因为我一个人

迎面而来的月光拉长身影
漫无目的地走在冷冷的街
我没有你的消息
因为我在想你 yeah

爱我别走
如果你说你不爱我
不要听见你真的说出口
再给我一点温柔

爱我别走
如果你说你不爱我
不要听见你真的说出口
再给我一点温柔

boo. will be in Disney World on Christmas Eve. :\

Jay Chou Fever (once more) :]

Since learning about 周董's new song 牛仔很忙, I've been digging through YouTube for 周董's videos..again. Videos of him on variety shows, such as 娛樂百分百, 康熙來了, and 桃色蛋白質. Particularly when his friends are invited as well...really funny and it brings out his personality! 超屌。Here's one of my favorite:



And I realize, he's actually quite good at "hosting his own show". [in chinese] 蠻會帶動他身邊的人...



I'm running out of these shows to watch on YouTube. *If anyone knows of a good source, please let me know!* So I start to look through all the 周董 videos on YouTube. This song has been my recent favorite. It's on my iPod too. Heh but visuals are a plus. Great pick the next time I go karaoke in Singapore!

非「同一種調調」: 周董 新歌「牛仔很忙」

不能說的祕密。

* * *

不管我們能不能見面
不管你會不會忘了我
我只想告訴你一個祕密
我愛你
* * *

一個震撼人心的祕密。
一首感人的鋼琴曲。

p.s. 誰說周杰倫不會演戲呀。我就覺得他很有自己的風格啊。

O...O [目瞪口呆的我]

依然...周杰倫

Now Playing:



夜的第七章
After several unsuccessful attempts *blah blah blah*, I finally get to listen to his latest album 依然范特西!! YAY~!!!!!!!!! I AM REALLY REALLY HAPPY, I CAN'T STOP SMILING :))))))))) Seriously, I want to thank my sister for letting me *ah-hem* the songs from her.

聽媽媽的話
Listening to the album for the second time...
I can't help but notice how unique his voice, the way he sings....

千里之外
The music is the 周杰倫 style...which makes this song sound weird because he sings it with 費玉清. Their styles are so different ("chinese" vs. "cool") you would never think of putting the two of them together. Although I must say that this is still a very nice song.

本草綱目
Ehh...I shall skip my comments on this.

退後
This is my favorite song on the album, followed by the first (夜的第七章) which had a very nice prelude. This one is more like 藉口 and 擱淺 imo.

紅模仿
A very very cute song....and quite funny in the way he sings, esp. the "哼哼哈兮" is so different from in 雙截棍 as if it has lost all its energy. The ending is awesome too, the way he says "唉呦". And apparently, he was borned knowing how to play a guitar, lol.

心雨
Another slow song, with a beautiful tune...

白色風車
I <3 the chorus melody, hence it's a 5-star song on iTunes for me.

迷迭香
Hmm...Seductive? Hehe.

菊花台
Last song on the album...has a very "china" taste in it.


Overall, this is another love-it 周杰倫 album. Maybe I'm just biased because it's 周杰倫, but who cares. IT'S STILL 周杰倫!
And if you are too a 周杰倫 fan like me and enjoy singing his songs, you can find lyrics here. :D
