New Videos

Its been a while since I posted any new videos online. Just been busy. Here are 3 video we produced over December.

Skyline 2006 year in review. By Joshua Ng.

Skylight Studios 2nd Anniversary. By Ow Choong Kit.
Yes, its been two years since we started the video department in Skyline. Here's a fond look back.

The Loaf Story 2006. By Sharon Chong.
We went out on the loaf story again. This time a much larger group was involved in taking bread and food to feed the needy in Kota Kinabalu.

My good buddy Louis Pang mentioned me recently on his blog in an article about a wedding we shot together. I remarked I rarely blog about the videos I do for some reason. For those of you who clicked on the link, you can find some of the work I've done here.

I haven't put up some of the latest videos. I've just been busy and the recent asian internet outage didn't help. I'll put 'em up soon.

10 years of Tech

1997
The Apple Newton MessagePad 2000/2100. The final Newton and pretty much state of the art portable technology.

The Apple iPhone

I guess sometimes you don't have to come up with lame stuff year after year, just to do something amazing. Check out the link. The User Interface is amazing.

So now we know what 10 years of technology buys you.

The big Four Oh

Well, I turn 40 today. Today I embark on the 41st year of my life.
That's it. Half way point. No more 30 something. Officially 'uncle' age. No more 'young' adult. Is this what being a full fledged adult feels like? Somedays I wonder when I'll actually grow up.

I have been very melancholic/mildly depressed for the past few weeks about this whole 40 something thing. Mid life crisis without the Porsche Carrera convertible. Maybe find a young girlfriend. Heheh.

I've been thinking about where I've been. What I've done and accomplished, which are not necessarily the same thing. I've been thinking about decisions, choices, sacrifices, selfish impulses, wisdom, foolishness and stuff in between. Regrets? Probably not. But some things I could have done better or being wiser at doing it.

I don't see many monuments from the past 40 years, but I do see plenty of milestones.

I think I've done plenty and travelled a fair bit. I've yet to visit continental Europe or South America. I did the diving thing which I've wanted to do since young after watching Jacque Cousteau. I've made movies which I never thought I'd ever day. I didn't manage to get to broadcast last year. Maybe this year.

People have been telling me that life begins at 40. I'm not so sure of that. Nevertheless, Momofuko Ando, founder of Nissin Noodles, invented Instant Noodles at age 48 in 1958. The cup noodle didn't come along until 1971. He passed away last week at 96 years of age. I guess instant noodles can' t be all that bad for you. Heheh.
