Bookshelf Doors Make for Easy Secret Passages


Every guy has some dreams of a secret hideout chamber. Especially in the younger days when girls play with dolls, guys play er.. hide and seek.

But young kids aside, I would really love to have one of these man!

The NTU Hungry Ghost Festival

It happens for 2 time periods in a year. Yes, its the NTU Hungry Ghost Festival.

Thats when the 'gates of hell' are opened, and hoards of 'hungry ghosts' storm out to look for food.

In the case of NTU, well... Just watch it yourself :)



This is actually last semesters video. I wonder what is the population of the 'hungry ghosts' now.

Speed Painting Video

One word. Wow.



Its pretty amazing what some people can do with a pencil and a pad. Now, its really crazy what they can do with digital media.

It reminds me why I'm an engineer, not an artist :)

Missile 3D Game

Quite an interesting game. Basically, you guide a rocket through a few stages by avoiding rotating obstacles. This is done by going through the gaps in the obstacle. Very simple idea, but can be rather difficult and addictive.

The link for the game is here.

Apparently, this game is meant to be played on a Nintendo Wii(Youtube vid). Using the opera browser on the Wii. If you own a Wii, here are a list of them. I so want to get a Wii sometime soon!

Hi I'm an iPhone. And I'm a smartphone


I found this comic strip post recently, and it reflects totally what I've been telling my friends all the while!

When the iPhone first came out, I was thinking, 'Hey, thats already what I've been doing with my dopod for the past year or so.' But still, everybody jumped in, saying they want an iPhone, its the coolest thing ever, etc etc..

Seriously, besides the multi tap touch screen which I haven't heard too much about, most of the iPhone functions have already been in smart phones for a very long time. And even then, by the time the iPhone reaches our shores, the smart phones would already have 3G, GPS, high megapixel cams, large memory, stable software, etc etc...

So anyway, here's the comic strip.
That said, its amazing what apple did with marketing. They are truely the marketing genius!

Flash Element TD Game

Some of you may have played Tower Defence in Warcraft III before. Then, you would know how this works.

For those who are not familiar, you build attacking towers along a route where enemies will travel. And you have to kill all of them before they reach the end. Simple? Not quite.

Another element of this game is you earn interest. The money not spent, will earn you more money next round. So the idea is to spend as little as possible every round.
