I was talking to a couple of friends about this commercial and they all love it, ’cause the panda’s just to adorable to ignore. It’s a commercial for the Creative Zen Vision:M. What’s up with the naming? Creative products have rather strange naming; if that supposed to cool then their naming department ought to be fired. No one freaking puts a colon in a product name, Mr. Sim, name me a successful product that puts colons.

Panda’s Rhapsody

This commercial is shown in Singapore and Malaysia. Not too sure about other countries. But it does look funky and has this unique Japanese-infused Kawaii-ness that made me want to buy the panda – I mean well – player.

An advertisement every Tuesday

Now, now… Where do I get the panda?

Wow, one of the coolest tables around.

I think if I were to get one of those, I probably be opening and closing the table all day.

Wow, these boxing actually looks good. I wouldn’t guess it’s from Microsoft. It makes a purchase of the operating system a lot more worth it.

You can have the most kick-ass product but with a bad packaging, it’s just spoils the experience. Microsoft is learning about packaging. I love the one for Windows Vista Ultimate edition. Really cool packaging with an unfortunately somewhat boring name. [via Windows Vista Team blog]

(Sofa can turn into bunk bed. Very creative.)

I thought this is pretty creative. I have seen a lot of sofas transform into beds, but this time this nice orange sofa made by BonBon Trading transform into a nice bunk bed, or a double deck type of bed. I think they aced in design right here. No information on the price but I’m guessing that it would cost quite a bit. [via Gizmodo, images from BonBon Trading.]

I’m in the process of moving house right now. We haven’t really started the moving but right now the new house is more or less ready. The workers are cleaning up all the mess they have made right now. While we are probably not going to buy this nice sofa, we are thinking of purchasing a new set. I think pale green would be a nice color for an inviting sofa.

My walls are a little greenish. The painter painted everything already. I aren’t really fond the color actually. But I could live with it. I am just not happy that the green is too light. The bloody painter keep recommend my mother to get those really light colors. I don’t know why. It’s so light that it looks white to me. My room is white brown. Oh well…

I was hoping for a more cheery color to compliment the otherwise pretty dull furniture. Now my room looks like a class A hospital ward. Time for your injection, sir!

I was looking for images to associate with toilets in my post regarding more cubicles in female toilets and I stumbled upon some interesting pictures in my computer.
Back then, I work for a company that has quite interesting toilet signs.

(The male toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)

I am not a pervert that goes around take images of toilets, I took all sorts of pictures around my work place’s environment before I left to keep it as a memory. Yes, I want to remember the toilet sign I guess.

(The female toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)

The above image is the one you see in the limited//cubicles post.

(The handicap toilet sign at Biopolis buildings.)

The handicap toilet sign is quite artistically done too. And you wonder why these shapes and colors are chosen.

(The map of the Biopolis buildings.)

Notice the shapes and color denotations of the buildings actually form the toilet signs. I thought that was creative. (more…)

Creative’s Muvo2 is taken advantage of? Let’s see, the mini hard disks are being removed from the players and later sold at a higher price. “Blunder,” I thought.

Let’s see.. hmmmp.. I wonder where to get a Muvo2, lol. Okay, I am done with the article.
Please flip.

Hey, why are you reading so slowly. I finished reading already, you tortoise. Finally. Good work, you flipped. What’s there now? Digital cameras. Let’s see, the Canon IXUS.. hmmmp..

Wait! Don’t flip. That’s interesting read. Damn you. You’re flipping again. What the hell. How do you expect me to read like that.

Do you know what the paper is for? You can’t possibly have just bought the paper to flip. Oh no, you closed the paper. I can’t read. Damn you. I was hoping to read the article on digital cameras. Why can’t you just let me?Situation: Attempting to read a fellow passenger’s newspaper without his or her permission in the train I ride to school.

Okay, the paper guy alight one train station before mine. No more papers. No wonder he was flipping at such a speed. I doubt he suspected that I was reading his paper from behind him.

Ever since two of the largest media companies in Singapore offered free newspapers on weekdays, reading news in the train has became a rather common thing. Likewise, reading other’s newspaper in the train has became an equally common thing.

It’s hard to get these papers, they’re rare items. The paper guy I mentioned was reading Computer Times; it is a free weekly publication as part of The Straits Times which is a paid paper. I have been using other people’s things without their permission.

I look at their newspapers. I look at their watches. I even peeped at another student’s university notes realizing she belongs to a similar field as me and I understood her notes. [The notes is about carbohydrate structures.]

I just want to thank these people, who have unknowingly supported me for years. They prevent me from getting bored at trains.
