screen capture from youtube Nokia Lumia Launch.Saw the article by TODAYonline on http://blogs.todayonline.com/videosoftheday/2012/04/09/1582/ yesterday. My first recall is the Nokia Lumia live at London last year. They(Nokia) created the huge 4D projection on a building. It was stunning and fabulous. They even had the “Behind the scene” video.
Now back to Singapore, below is the project comissioned by People’s Association Singapore for the Passion Arts initiative. First of the kind in Singapore on a HDB building. Such large-scale project requires a lot of permits and the residents co-operation too.

HTC ONE X public preview

Received the notice about the launch of HTC ONE X but was too late to apply. So I had to attend the public preview in the afternoon. Walk around the small hall and playing with the new HTC ONE X at various booth. The specification and the texture attracts me especially the camera & sound quality produced by a 4.7″ phone. As I’m a hobbyist photographer & loves to listen to music.
Standing at the back of the crowd while waiting for the speaker to talk about the HTC ONE X. Quite a number of new features by the new phone. And I’m in a dilemma to choose which phone to get as my contract with my mobile green provider ending soon.

IT Show 2012 is back once more.
8 – 11 March 2012
Suntec Singapore
12noon to 9pm
The previously hot sale of Ext. HDD is selling slow due to last year Thailand flood and most of the HDD products are make in Thailand.
I was one of the promoter from a certain ‘E’ brand of networking system.
Day 1 (aka research day):
Most consumers came to have a look look see see attitude and to collect brochures. Especially thumbdrive, microSD & ext. harddisk.
Day 2 (warm-up):
Being transfer to another retailer store, ‘B.G.’. Had to take care of a newcomer. Wait!! I also newcomer for 1 day only. Stand long hours, give brochures, give talks but my eyes keep looking at the OTO massage chair. *I need massage. Leg, hand & back* Sales came back after 4pm. Good good! But the commission only two% :’(
Good night!
Day 3 (Fighting!):
Today had been transfer to another store, ‘N.S.’. Help chiong their sales but too many people not sure about this brand of product. But there is still sales on this day.
Day 4 (The End):
The last day of IT Show where many people will come in to find cheap and discounted products. But the WD HDD never drop the price. Their sales seem good but not sold out except their 1TB. Today the sales is better than yesterday slightly better.
