Clearly, I ain't no boy. And unlike the millions of people worldwide who proudly carry an iPhone in their pocket, I'm also no fan of Apple.
But, before the religiously loyal Apple fanboys start using my photo as target practice, I'm also no mega fan of Microsoft, or any one particular brand. Rather, I'm a fan of any system and..... Read more »

Hi, my name is Eileen Yu, and I'm a Barry Manilow fan.
All right, there, I've said it. I'm a huge, big, out-of-this-world, mega fan of the guy who dances to the Copacabana in a pink ruffles puffy-sleeved shirt. So what if he has a nose the size of a brinjal and shares the same age as my dad. He..... Read more »

I remember returning to the office from my first few assignments as a rookie reporter, real excited, and eager to write about my "news-breaking" information.
"They said this is the world's first technology able to do that...world's first!" I would exclaim, wide-eyed. But, of course, my senior colleagues, seasoned IT journalists that they were, would calm me down and patiently..... Read more »

I'm in Kuala Lumpur for a couple of days this week, serving as moderator for a panel discussion at the APEC SME Technology Entrepreneur Seminar.
Themed "Innovation and technology: the sustaining power of SMEs in the global economic crisis", most of the presentations and keynotes urged the need for small businesses in the region to continue to innovate, in spite..... Read more »

It was on April Fools' Day at the turn of the millennium that the Singapore telecommunications market was fully liberalized.
Key market players had begun ramping up activities a couple of years prior to the big launch date, and the industry was abuzz with excitement at the prospect of new innovative services that were expected to follow.
Deregulation was the..... Read more »

I have a soon-to-be six-year-old Jack Russell Terrier that has a habit of barking at almost every dog we paw past during our walks around my estate. Needless to say, it's an embarrassment each time she does that, and my family would inevitably look away--denying any relation to me or my canine--whenever a barking frenzy starts.
But, rather than tug..... Read more »

I'm back from a two week-long break that took my dad and I across London, Edinburgh and Amsterdam. Aye, the castle that nestled right in the center of the Scottish capital was truly majestic. And I never knew there were over 100 species of tulips until I visited the Keukenhof garden.
Two weeks is a long time away from home,..... Read more »
Drive by GPS, think green every day and eat grass. Odd as it may sound, these seem to be the messages that came out of Earth Day this week.
Apr. 22 marked Earth Day and this year, its organizers initiated a two-year Green Generation campaign that they hope will inspire people worldwide to think and live green.
Earth Day Network..... Read more »

Yes, yes, I finally updated my photo byline. It's long overdue, especially since the previous one was taken when I first joined this company five years ago.
I guess I finally grew tired of hearing people--who know me first through my mugshot--exclaim, almost in stupefied horror, when they do eventually meet the real McCoy, that I look so different in..... Read more »

Congratulations are in order because...I got married!
Okay, okay, so technically, April 1 was two days ago and pranks are no longer called for, but who said they should be played only on April Fools' Day?
Besides, you'll know it's a hoax because in the unlikelihood that wedding bells do ring for me, I'm not one to announce it on..... Read more »
