Erm.. I guess I final had overcame my laziness to blog. I like to write in person,. but when
it comes to blog it just seems that is kind of obligation. i know it doesnt make sense,
but I feel I am obliged to 'write' by my own standard that i set for myself.
Well, i guess i just have some much thoughs in my head that I would want to penned it down.
Here are just some random thoughts that i dont want them to fade with time:
1. Catch Shrek 3 the other day with NQ, I like Shrek in general, like their music, a little
like a theatre kind of kiddy show.. but i like it.. and this is one of the few shows where
ppl will stay in their seats after the movie ended.. cool stuff.
2. Completed iWOz in 4 days. I am not those type that will patiently sit down and read for hours.
But I did, i mean i like reading but i dont have a long concentration span to sit myself down.
Its a good read, at least for a geek like me. There are some aspects of the technical, plenty
of them in fact, i like it,.. but thats not the main reason. I get the sense of Steve Wozniak
speaking to you in person when i read his book, i guess its just the form of writing. Pretty
inspired by it, like how his dad raised him when he was a young boy, I will be taking examples
on when i raised mine in future. His dad always kept it open for him to explore his interest
by himself, never pointing at any direction, not even with the slightest of push.
It also shed light on his relationship with Steve Jobs, how the media betrayed him to get a
good story, his love life with 3 wives, and you can sense that he is a pretty down to earth
person, just like someone you normally meet in life, and not like some arrogant rich man like
Donald Trump. There are so many things to these book and coupled with catching the show on
pirates of silicon valley, it is so inspirational. Now I am reading the other book iCOn which
is on Steve Jobs. Really looking forward to reading that, I know it will be entirely opposite
of Steve Wozniak, Chraismatic, ruthless, outgoing, everything that steve wozniak is not to be
less their passion in Computer.
3. Finally done and dusted with the Start up Singapore competition. Was a little disappointed
not grabbing the grand prize after doing so well. I think we really kicked ass that day. And
the presentation is close to flawless, and we have the answers to the judges during Q&A.
I guess what kills us is that we dont have a working prototype like some other teams. But i
guess glory and fame is really secondary, what matters is the experience and this wonderful journey
that we embarked on again with Gina and Justin after our NVC. We certainly make a good team,
and if i were to do a start up, they are the guys that i would want to work together with. i
had never thought a class project could go so far. Even myself din believe it at first, but we
just did it. I mean whats the cost of failing, a few hrs of work, and I think this sense of trying
and failing with pride than no trying is so entrenched in me after my SV days that the final result
din really matter so much.
get back to work... shall continue my blog another day,,,...
