Elliot (Tree Potatoes) and Kay Kay - A Date with the Stars Ep 1

Think this is a video sponsored by Great Eastern Life Insurance.



It's basically a set-up date for Elliot and Kay Kay.
They're tasked to go out on a date with just $50 and to complete some challenges along the way.

Elliot shows up late but redeems himself by giving a rose to Kay Kay.


Kay Kay gets apprehensive when he suggests to go cycling.

They head to the beach and Kay Kay changes into a bikini.
And they start building a sandcastle.

They have honey glazed chicken for $7.95 from the supermarket by the beach.


Eilliot surprises Kay Kay by appearing with a guitar next and starts serenading her
with his rendition of Jason Myraz's I'M YOURS.


Kay Kay rates the date 7 out of 10.
Elliot rated the date 9 or 9.5 out of 10.

Google Glass - Will It replace the Mobile Phone?

Launch Trailer of Google Glass

Not sure what Google Glass is or what it does. All I know is that you put it on like a pair of spectacles or glasses and it probably serves as a camera? So this post is a bit of a investigative research or discovery process of what Google Glass is really about.

Quick search on the net and there's a review of it byYouTuber iJustine's Channel on 28 June 2013:



What I gathered from watching her review is that:

1. You can use Google Glass as a handsfree phone just by tapping the side to receive an incoming call
2. It can be used as a camera to take pictures via Voice Command and the tilt of your head up and down.
    Or by pressing a button on the right top panel.
3. Similarly, it can be used as a video camera to record videos from your perspective (Think Blair Witch Project). By default, it can only record 10 second videos.
4. The battery lasts about 5 hours.
5. You can share pictures of what you took instantly. 
6. There are some hand gestures that you need to use via the Google Glass touch pad (Track Pad) to activate actions. (Slide, click, share, scroll, cancel)

Another review that was done by Marques Brownlee in August 2013:

He breaks it down to 7 stuff that what GG (I think they should name it Google Goggles!) can do:


Transcribed:
1. Take a picture
2. Record a Video
3. Get Directions
4. Send a Message
5. Phone Calls
6. Google+ Hangouts
7. Google

Other interesting info:
1.  It needs to be connected or synced with your phone via Bluetooth or Wifi to share data.
2. You can share pictures with your friends as well.
3. It costs about US$1,500 and it's not available for the public yet. Mainly for testers at this stage.
4. Prescription wearers to get Google Glass in US
    http://sg.news.yahoo.com/google-glass-integrated-prescription-frames-150338320.html


Queries:
1. I wonder if its really heavy to wear.
2. Would it affect how your eyeballs are aligned if you're wearing it for a long time, since the Glass is on the right?
3. Would we lose our privacy? Someone could easily hack into the Glass and video cam our vision.
(Bank passwords, Naked spouses, Current Location etc.) It's kind of like a spy ware if you lose control of it.

Pros:
1. Good for people who need to be hands free
2. Probably good for the deaf ,blind or physically challenged to get directions. Better if there's a sound byte from the Map function. This would give them more mobility and access to information on the move.
3. It;s good for solving crimes if we can gather various videos from different sources wearing GG at time of incident.

Original Post: 28 January 2014:
According to a report on xinmsn.com on 27th January 2013, Fann Wong is rumored to be expecting a baby currently. Source was from an insider in showbiz. But probably due to the Chinese Taboo (It's considered inauspicious to announce one's pregnancy during the 1st trimester) of protecting the baby during the 1st trimester, she is likely unable to announce her pregnancy just yet.

A representative from Fann’s management agency, Catwalk Asia, shared that Fann has been on "a long break" since Christmas last year and they do not interfere with their artistes' personal lives, and therefore could not confirm if she was pregnant.

Fann Wong's celebrated her birthday (27th January) with her hubby, Christopher Lee and close friends David Gan and Anita Hatta last night. There has been no confirmation from her or her friends on the current rumors. Here are some related birthday celebration pictures and video posted on Fann's and David Gan's  Instagram last night:

SHOW INTRODUCTION:
From the producers of Jump! comes yet another inspirational idol drama Scrum!
which takes viewers into the world of rugby set in a polytechnic.



SHOW TIME:
Show begins on 26 Feb 2014(Wed) and airs from Wed to Fri at 8pm - 9pm.
Last episode on 26 March 2014

SHOW PLOT SYNOPSIS:
Five years ago, Greenwood Polytechnic’s Black Rhino rugby team was the undisputed champions in the rugby arena. The situation changed when senior players graduated and the standard of the current team steadily declined.



Although the rugby players are passionate about their game, no matter how hard they try, they experience failure year after year at competitions. As a result, some players have given up and traded their dreams for greener pastures while others have lost faith and drive in life altogether. Their only hope is for an experienced coach to lead them on a path to victory.

Alexis Wong is a champion rugby coach in the B Division boys’ team. She hails from the elite class, with an ivy-league education and an in-born arrogance. When a twist of fate lands Alexis in Greenwood Polytechnic as an interim rugby coach, she takes on the job grudgingly to bid time, with no intention of lifting a finger to train the players. In her view, the poly boys are amateur players, with no will or skills to compete. However, after a few eventful encounters, the Black Rhino boys’ sincerity and hunger for success start to change Alexis’s attitude.
