—————————————————————————————
The 2010 Nee Soon South countdown concert sets the stage to offer 10,000 Singaporeans a platform to bond and celebrate the 2010. Sparkle On Nee Soon South (NSS) is a not-for-profit concert showcasing the best of local talent held on December 31, 2009, from 8.30pm – 12.30am, at the open field opposite Khatib MRT station.

This year, the organizers have decided to waive all entrance charges and participants can attend the designed-by-community-for-community concert for free.

“We know that Singaporeans have been through a lot this year, and we want them to enjoy the Countdown. We want spread a message of hope for a better year ahead. We have decided to keep this year’s countdown concert free, so that Singaporeans can enjoy a night of quality entertainment and bring along with them their family and friends without having to worry about ticketing fees” said Er. Lee Bee Wah, Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio GRC and Advisor to Nee Soon South Grassroots Organisations.

The event aims to deliver a message of Hope, a notion that resonates with Singaporeans can relate to because of the improving economy and H1N1 situation over the year.

The Concert will take on a ‘made-in-Singapore’ concept and will feature the best of Singapore’s talents. Audiences can expect familiar local artistes that will join them as they enter into 2010 together.

Building on the success of the inaugural concert last year, Sparkle On NSS continues to encourage stronger family and community bonds. The event attracted over 8,000 participants last year, including Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong who joined the crowd in counting down to the New Year.

Rantings…

i’m really pissed today, firstly, don’t ever think that i’m easily cheated, defeated or will give in to you always, do not take it for granted. bear this in mind.

went to the bank today to cash out some money, guess what? while i was lining up, these selfish people, would just walk to the place they want, convenient for them, and just right infront of me, and will just say, excuse me! wth. you think just by saying excuse me will work? maybe its normal to give way, so i did.

and some, the worse case of all, they don’t say excuse me, they will squeeze thru’ it to get to the other side. what is this? is that what your parents, teachers, or even ancestors teach you? no freaking manners. and if i dont give way, i think the lady infront will think that i touched her or something.

its not only aunties who do it, its freaking grown ups, and kids. lets not blame the aunties and kids. freaking grown ups, please use your freaking brains.

now, till the climax that hit the roof of mine, you know this? and they actually gave me some lousy customer service, waiting for so long.

YES. i had used my freaking brains, thinking that they might respond, since they responded to the rest, and thinking it this way, so i tweeted on twitter, and thinking that they will respond to my tweets. so foolishly waited, and no responses after a week.

so i called them up, everytime, i will have to wait…. previously, i called them up to activate a service, so i have to call them right? there is no other way to do that. so waited, and wasted my time. in the end, luckily, i got a pleasant guy who picked up that call, and resolve my issue, otherwise, he will sure to get it from me.

then today, was a lady who seems to be blur, by saying, “erm, ah, oh”. like that? so every moment when i was on the phone, i was like. “gahhhhhh!” angry! so yeah, then i was really pissed off, and started complaining big time on the phone about the bills.

one more time if they do this, i might just simply switch to the other corals.

Office 2010 Sneak Preview
brought to you by SPIC

went back to SP today to attend SPIC’s Office 2010 Sneak Preview to see whats the major improvements for the office applications.

So, are you still using Office 2003 and lagging behind the rest who can make compelling communication through files created using Office 2007? Time to make a move… or rather ahead of Office 2007.

Welcome to the Office 2010 beta.

Now you can catch a glimpse of the refined user experience and better productivity experience that everyone else can expect to touch it next year.

Now.. Reviewing Microsoft 2010

Looking into Office 2010, the file menu is totally different from 97 – 2003, and even the latest 2007 that is out in the market. It still uses Ribbons,but there is quite a number of UI enhancements, which made it different, as well as the implementation of Backstage View in 2010.

Confirmed features of Office 2010 include:

• Refined Ribbon interface and Backstage View across all applications
• Background Removal Tool
• Letter Styling
• New SmartArt templates
• New text and image editing effects
• Screen Capturing and Clipping tools
• Live collaboration functions
• Jumplists in Windows 7

In Powerpoint 2010, it has been changed quite alot, with new themes of course, plus new transitions, which made it near, and similar to Mac iWork Suite’s KeyNote.

With these, I’m pretty sure Office 2010 will be doing well if the production is done smoothly, with no bugs or errors hindering it.

We could see from the launch of Windows 7, and Office 2010 Beta, Microsoft has been trying to improve its so called ‘laggy’ operating system and office applications, to a all new experience for the users.

To get a copy of Office 2010, please visit this url, http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx

look at this new theme, seems that it will be here to rest till i get a better theme. (ps: this is still good)

infact, i was in love with this theme once i saw it. it was like wow! BOOMZ!

haha. yeah. spend time fixing this up. with adverts and the twitter thing which had a huge bug, which will keep on leading me towards wordpress’s twitter.

anyway, just a highlight, i got a twitter account plus churpchurp account.

thats all. signing off.~

i know it is kinda lame, but look at it this way, everyday with 8am lessons, and with thursdays and fridays ending at 5pm. then you should know how bad it is.

for the past few months, i have been lurking around at plurk and facebook updating my status. and i finally got a break today since its a public holiday.

exams are just round the corner, and i think i wont be able to get online so frequently anymore.

shall post more after exams.
