Google Chrome

Google has a new Web Browser!.. I was browsing thru the Economist that day~ and read that Google had launched a new Web Browser - Google Chrome. So, to my curiosity I downloaded it and tried it out. Currently its still under Beta version and Google claimed that:

On the surface, we designed a browser window that is streamlined and simple. To most people, it isn't the browser that matters. It's only a tool to run the important stuff - the pages, sites and applications that make up the web. Like the classic Google homepage, Google Chrome is clean and fast. It gets out of your way and gets you where you want to go.

Under the hood, we were able to build the foundation of a browser that runs today's complex web applications much better . By keeping each tab in an isolated "sandbox", we were able to prevent one tab from crashing another and provide improved protection from rogue sites. We improved speed and responsiveness across the board. We also built V8, a more powerful JavaScript engine, to power the next generation of web applications that aren't even possible in today's browsers.

This is just the beginning - Google Chrome is far from done. We've released this beta for Windows to start the broader discussion and hear from you as quickly as possible. We're hard at work building versions for Mac and Linux too, and we'll continue to make it even faster and more robust


Here's how it looks like.. looks different compared to IE/FF, features are modern, makes full use of the whole screen, and it doesn't have a homepage~ once you open the browser, it brings you to a page shown below:

So, just click on the thumbnails to access to the site. My bloggie looks like this from Google Chrome.. hehehe

Try it!!

Busy week~~

oooo.. my blog looked kinda dead.. lol.. sorry readers, was rather busy this week.. Had a poster session on Wednesday, its an assignment for 1 of my units: Marketing of Services, some of u might know cos I mentioned it hehe [I complained a lot]~ the ones that do not know? well, a brief description: its a research on services of a fitness centre - I selected Cove Health Club @ City.

I know.. poster session sounds fun and I thought it was easy.. but I was wrong!.. Service is too vague! and a fitness centre ain't small, there's so much to touch on and the poster is A1 sized.. not big enough for the overloaded information~ 1st struggle was trying find a way to fit all 4 requirements of the assignment into the poster (so basically what I did was.. Integration!), 2nd struggle, the stationery here are extremely pricey! hole in my pocket T.T, 3rd scarce resources - I did not buy enough glue, no marker pen, no masking tape, limited double-sided tape .. so gotta curi borrow from my friend hehe, and 4th gotta structure the poster where i can link and fit the frameworks well.. 5th~ everything was everywhere but I don't know where.. ~.~

Wanna get a peek of my place while doing the poster? (warning: don't faint!)

During the day of Poster session, I think I was jinxed or sth T.T.. I missed 3 buses~ first was the nearest from my place, 2nd.. cos the bus was full, 3rd I didn't noe why the bus jus drove away without stopping??! Besides, I lost the pop-up logo of Cove Health Club I made!! sadddsss.. cos of the strong breeze that day.. Tried to look for it~ but failed.. well had a plan B instead..
To look on a positive perspective.. I missed 3 buses and hopped on to a kinda empty bus, I can say.. which was easier for me cos I'm carrying such a BIG piece of poster.. Lost the pop-up logo where I had to draw the logo myself and stuck a few photos of the Fitness Centre, which was kinda handy while presenting..

well.. sometimes things are fated, you can't change what has happened.. you jus have to look on the happy side! Glad that my presentation went smoothly~ My lecturer said we were creative *wheee* cos our poster is the only 1 with the theatre metaphor (1 of the services framework).. gotta draw the curtain to see the poster.. hehehe..

Thats it~!

Big Bowl~

So many things to do... so little time~~ :(

But, of course I need some time to relax.. correct? hehehe..
Friday night, met up with my friends for dinner.. I selected Big Bowl as our destination~! I've been there once (twice now), and I like their noodles..! Basically, they make the noodles on the spot when you order the food.. how? well, they have a really big machine to process the noodles not allowed to take pictures of the machine.. Some pictures I snapped on the noodles:


They offer a variety of noodles, from fried to soup, spicy to non, meat, seafood, cheese bake... etc.
You will spend some time to choose your dish.. but its recommended! *wink*

Understand & Respect please...


It's not a good day for me... felt offended in class today, trying hard to tell myself it's okay... ate ice cream, but still feel a bit down..
argh~ i need your shoulder sobss..

some culture just think that they are so superior~ yea ethnocentric is the word. I feel that its a shame for them to behave that way..
Isn't it better if everyone is treated equally? everyone respecting each other? valuing each other's culture? Sometimes one have to learn to understand.. giving people chance to show that they have capabilities and listen~

To that someone, look around you.. you are in a country that has diverse culture, try to accept it, and don't be rude or look down on others...
Also, I owe you this: hahaha

Hahhh~ felt better! though i know that he's not gonna read this, but who cares! haha, as long as i'm feeling better~

gotta go back to my studies ^.^
*cheers*
