Profit Sharing for Nov!!!

Dividends for November hit a record high yet again!!! Another 3k into my bank account just by doing nothing! Hehe =p

Felt really ironic.

Alot of people around me are readily put a 30k excluding hidden costs into tertiary education, mug hard for 3-4 years to obtian a degree, and settle for a 2k/mth job. But yet, for the same or even less than the amt of money, no additional time commitments and with immediate effect, I'm getting more than 3k/mth. And that's not even close to the maximum potential of the project!

All thanks to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki that allowed me to have a new dimension of finances, as well as to grab opprtunities that come by. Else I would have been like any normal student who are mugging, clubbing, living in their own world and enjoying life, taking up part-time jobs to barely meet their financial output, or even still collecting allowance from parents after the age of 18!!

10 days to KL for my next business trip, 2 weeks to Christmas and 3 weeks to 2007. Only managed to fulfil one of the 3 goals that I set for myself 344 days ago. Time to buck up and set my sights on 2007!

Wireless@SG


Extract from Lianhe Zaobao, 3rd Dec 2006

Felt really disappointed when I read all recent news about the Wireless@SG launch. Slow connection and limited access due to bandwidth limitations are major prob with the whole system. It really brought back memories of how the project first came out, and how close we were to having a chance to change the whole telecommunications industry of Singapore. Things could have been real different as compared to now!

Using the wireless connection in Taichung and Singapore are different experiences altogether. Imagine this technology appearing in Singapore. What a differences it would have made to all users! And it's real high speed!

The bottom test was done when I was in Taichung on a moving bus in Oct, while the one on top was done at home back in Singapore using a 4000kbps service. See the diff?

Well at least for now the services are free, which more or less makes up for the quality (or lack of it). Hopefully all these problems will be resolved by the time they end their free services.

A Fruitful Taiwan Trip

Recently got back from Taiwan (or rather Tai Chung) to view the latest advancements of the construction of a wireless city, and its real amazing how much things have changed since I last went a month ago. Just barely a month ago, the only area that was wireless was only a stretch of road around the EmCom office building. Right now, here's what the amazing technical team has done:


The circled areas are areas that are wirelessly covered! They included places like Feng Jia Night Market (the largest night market in Tai Chung), Feng Jia Commercial Area, Tai Chung Port Road and Feng Jia University!!! Cool right???

Now Ben can even watch Hard Gay while eating at a roadside ramen stall in Tai Chung!!

People who made the Wireless Broadband Dream possible. Sitting from left to right: Mr Derrick Lee (Chief Operating Officer, EmCom Singapore), Mr Wu Shen Xing (Chief Executive Officer, EmCom Taiwan), Mr Gino (Chief Technical Officer, Tayee Technologies), Mr Eddie Chong (Chief Executive Officer, Tayee Technologies)

And of course... the best thing abt Taiwan... hehe...


It really excites me to see the project progress each day, not coz I'll get huge dividends out of the subscription fees, but most importantly the feeling of playing a role in a telecommunication revolution that might well change the world.

Can't believe I took 1 whole hr just to complete this entry!! And I still dunno how to put a picture at my profile!! Can some expert blogger help???

1st Blog!!!!

My first ever blog!!!!

Perhaps having a blog was the last ever thing that I thought I might have done, largely due to my powderful england that consists of countless grammatical errors and extremely limited vocabulary.

Nevertheless, shall start blogging from this day even though I might have been lagging for years as compared to my friends.. coz I will soon be en route the turning point of my life, to turn from nobody to somebody, and from rags to riches!

This blog shall mark my footsteps along this journey as I leave a legacy behind.
