Jon and Anne brought us to a new place last Wed called Coconut Groove.

The cool thing about this place is that it has board games and even a carom board. For those living near Kovan MRT you have to check it out.

My cousin Kenny from LA came to Singapore and we had to bring him to Grapevine. However they had a drink named “Kilkenny” as you can see below!

lol!

What a weird conference, but also what an exciting initiative.

This is what the queue look like from the back outside DXO. Did anyone get the Tee? I got one Medium and one Small.

The back chat thingy was pretty cool and quite a new concept for me. I wonder if this is what they do also at SXSW. But in a way it was quite distracting. If only i had a wifi gadget i would have joined in too.

Thats my cousin Kenny from the States who is in town for his summer school break on the left and me on the right.

This is the crowd going for the food during the break. I have to say it was quite good.

Being in the toilet business i did not fail to notice the quite happening urinal solution. I have to admit i’ve never see it done this way before. But as the signage was not very clear, it was quite possible for ladies to walk in and see your… so quite erm… but then again, this is a club, so maybe it does not matter… lol…

During the break, we went for the remote control tanks. It was way fun and i think it was really nice for the organisers to throw this in for childish people like me. Quite tempted to buy, cuz i simple love tanks.

The last segment was my fave as it was about tech stuff and i am quite blown away by how professional and tech savvy Adri was. I learnt about Trackbacks, Bloglines, RSS feeds, cool stuff. I’m only sad that James did not share much, cuz i know he is a real techie.

Till the next one.

You can see the Flickr photos here.

I know Photoshop is the industry standard software for Graphic Designers, but what about Industrial Design? What is the 3D software that is the industry standard for Industrial / Product Design?

I would really like to hear from anyone who have relevant experience in this field to share some info with me.

Thanks!

For those who don’t know i was away from 5th to 10th of July as i took a trip down to Guang Zhou for a trade fair and also to visit 3 factories in the nearby towns and villages.

This trip we landed at the new Baiyun International Airport and its a big improvement from the old airport, its definately international standard.

We did alot of bus riding during this trip and the longest was a 5 hours ride to Shantou which became a 6 hour ride due to heavy rain, several accidents, road works and tunnel repairs. Thank God we arrived safely.

As its a business trip, i don’t wanna bore you of the details of the trip, so here is a scenic picture i took from the bus on our journey back to Guang Zhou.

On the left is the Shantou bay Bridge and on the left is the Shantou Coal Power Plant.

Generally this trip was really not enjoyable at all… due too many reasons that i don’t wish to blog about… *sigh*

Anyway, i’m, glad to be back!
