Live Edge Competition - Anyone ?

Hi all,
If anyone has an idea and wishes to work with others to conceptualise it commercially, here will be a good opportunity to have it evaluated, and maybe win a prize too.  If however you are interested to work in a team as you feel you have half of what it takes then email me to work as a team, bswi@yahoo.com.  I do have many crazy ideas, and have the electronic engineering experience in past projects, but do need a strong partner as I have what is termed as ‘fuzzy logic’ when I engaged in designing. Thus a methodical, task manager who is flexible and who is as passionate about being creative is the partner/partners I am looking for in this competion for fun or just to keep our minds active.
Prizes Worth Winning
Two unique prize packages are up for grabs for the winners of Live EDGE’s student and general/open competitions, which run concurrently. Submit your design for the chance to see its journey from concept to live creation.

Winning Package

The lucky winner of each competition will receive a $25,000 (USD) cash award, plus a unique package of support services from experts in the fields of Design Consultancy, Marketing, Legal, and Commerce to drive the winning designs towards production.

The value of each support package is worth an additional $25,000 (USD) and includes:

Design Support

  • Introduction to a high-profile Electronic Design Consultancy to help move your design towards production using their invaluable resource and expertise.

Legal Support

  • Guidance and funding assistance to lead you through the maze of Intellectual Property rights, patents, contracts and complex legal processes.

Marketing Support

  • PR & Marketing funding assistance
  • Access to a leading-edge global PR agency to publicize you and your winning design.
  • Development of a unique multi-channel marketing program to take your design to market.
The winner will also be invited to form part of next year’s prestigious judging panel alongside key industry leaders and renowned technical experts from around the world!

Honourable mentions

Six designs (3 student, 3 general) are eligible to win a cash sum of $5,000 (USD) each and an honorable mention in all publicity literature.
Submit your designs from October 1, 2008 through January 31, 2009.
Good luck, Cheers

Holiday, Anyone? Hainan?

Hi, SHCians

Anyone interested to go for a short holiday with Eyvonne and me which we planned on Oct 31 to Nov 5′08.  We planned to go Hainan/Sanya lor.. But as I am going thru directly with the land operator in Hainan, the whole land tour will only be conducted in Chinese.  The land tour cost right now I have is RMB400 (subject to change) for a 4D/3N iternary, 4-S accomodation with 6 meals and 3 breakfast.  As Oct/Nov, the flight timetable had been changed to morning flight instead of normal 4.45pm return to SG hence, I had added 1 additional free day in Haikou itself so we can roam freely at our own leisure.  As dates planned are considered off-peak, the air ticket cost is ard $300 inclusive of taxes but of cos, must book early to enjoy this lor emoticon.  As for tips for local guide and coach driver, I m proposing S$2/day/pax emoticon.  Of cos, those that prefer to leave as planned, are also welcome to do so lor..

Those interested to join me can email me at dlgummy@hotmail.com for the proposed itinerary.

Social Dance Nite-Sept 25 @ AMK Hub.

Hi LilyWillocq, Dolly and Yew Kwong.
Lily, thank you for organising the Social Dance Nite at Scarlet, AMK Hub on Sept 25th. My wife, Roselyn and I enjoyed the dance nite as much as meeting up with old and new members who came in support of the event. As the group was not too big, I managed to memorise some of our members’ names by hard. Dolly, I’m glad that I sent you my avatar pic earlier. You were the first person to wave ‘hello’ to me when I reached the entrance of Scarlet that evening. Initially, I’d mistaken you for Lily until I checked again at a later time. Please accept my sincere apologies.  Yew Kwong, I only saw you once at the entrance when we came and once more before we left at the end of the day. Were you on the dance floor the whole night? Dan Huang and Dennis – Its good to meet you again. Hope I can make it to watch you guys perform with the lovely ladies on Oct 15 at Kovan. Susan Chan (steady poon-peepee) – Diamond studded dancing shoes wor …   May I have the next dance with you ? but wait ar… I need to take some dancing lessons first then take a queue number and wait patiently from Chinatown to Kovan CC for my turn okay. Don’t want to get hamtum for jumping the queue!

Some new friends I got to know at Scarlet;
Oi Cheng – The kind Volunteer who take time out to put up digital pictures on SHC photo albums to share with all.
Francis R. Mangalam – An avid and versatile social dancer. If you need a dance partner, here is one who’s always ready to oblige.Boon Liang – One of the many marathon endurance cyclists in SHC. Eileen Lee – The happy retiree and now enjoying life with grown up children and grand children around her.Gingko and Bira – Seen your pics in photo albums before meeting you at AMK and read your posts. Am pleased to meet you gals  in person, finally.

Lina Ho, Margaret, Mei Foo and many more(new members) whose names I couldn’t remember and did not get to know you all better, I hope to see more of you again in future gatherings.

tGiF!!! hve a roaring good weekend folks

There’s this Jaga Singh who was working for a multi-millionare as a
night guard. One day, while the millionaire was driving out to catch
an early morning flight to conclude a business deal, Jaga Singh ran
out from the guard house and stopped the millionaire’s car just right
in front of the gate.

He said ‘Sir..Sir.. are you going to board a plane?’ ‘Yes, why?’
asked the millionaire. ‘You had better cancel the trip. You see, last
night I dreamt about the plane going to crash.’

Curious over the early morning fright that Jaga Singh had given, the
multimillionaire decided to cancel his trip. ‘You better be damn right
for this is a million dollar deal.’

The following day, there were news reports that the plane which the
millionaire was supposed to take had indeed crash landed. ! ‘Thank God
I cancelled the trip,.’ the rich man said. Realising that what Jaga Singh
had said had come true, he called the Singh to see him.

When the guard was called that morning, the millionaire gave him his
salary and FIRED him.

Why?

A WIFE’S SECRET

TIME FOR A BREAK ……emoticon

A man and woman had been married for more than 40 years. They had shared everything.

They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that

the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her

husband never to open or ask her about IT.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife’s bedside.

She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the! box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $95,000.

 He asked her about the contents. ‘When we were to be married,’ she said,  ‘my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue.

She told me that if I ever got angry with u, I should just keep quiet & crochet a doll.’

The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only 2 precious dolls were in the box.

She had only been angry with him 2 times in all those years of living & loving. He almost burst with happiness.   ‘Honey,’ he said,  ‘that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?’

‘Oh,’ she said, ‘that’s the money I made from selling the dolls.’

Must think of a way to save up my anger & spend my savings on my Hobby !!!emoticon

Older Job Applicant

Another SHC sent me this & I found it really funny. Hope it tickles your funny bone too! Incredible to think that this is for real! [Sorry about the language. It's not mine. :) ]

Below is an actual job application that this 75 year old senior citizen submitted to Walmart in California . They hired him because he was funny…..

NAME: Kenneth Way (Grumpy Old Bastard)

SEX: Not lately, but I am looking for the right woman (or at least one who will cooperate)

DESIRED POSITION: Company President or Vice President. But seriously, whatever’s available. If I was in a position to be picky, I wouldn’t be applying here in the first place

DESIRED SALARY: $185,000 a year plus stock options and a Michael Ovitz style severance package. If that’s not possible, make an offer and we can haggle.

EDUCATION: Yes.

LAST POSITION HELD: Target for middle management hostility.

PREVIOUS SALARY: A lot less than I’m worth.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: My incredible collection of stolen pens and post-it notes.

REASON FOR LEAVING: It sucked.

HOURS AVAILABLE TO WORK: Any.

PREFERRED HOURS: 1:30-3:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL SKILLS?: Yes, but they’re better suited to a more  intimate environment .

MAY WE CONTACT YOUR CURRENT EMPLOYER?: If I had one, would I be here?

DO YOU HAVE ANY PHYSICAL CONDITIONS THAT WOULD PROHIBIT YOU FROM LIFTING UP TO 50 lbs.?: Of what?

DO YOU HAVE A CAR?: I think the more appropriate question here would be ‘Do you have a car that runs?’

HAVE YOU RECEIVED ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITION?: I may already be a winner of the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, so they tell me.

DO YOU SMOKE?: On the job - no! On my breaks - yes!

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE DOING IN FI VE YEARS?: Living in the Bahamas with a fabulously wealthy dumb sexy blonde supermodel who thinks I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread. Actually, I’d like to be doing that now.

NEAREST RELATIVE: 7 miles

DO YOU CERTIFY THAT THE ABOVE IS TRUE AND COMPLETE TO THE BEST OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE?: Oh yes, absolutely.

Everything in life is temporary…
Darkness of the night or brightness of the day.
Even sunrise is temporary.. And so is sunset.
If things are going good enjoy it…
And if things are going bad

Adding photos of authors of Post

Hi Terence

Just a suggestion.  Just wondering whether it will help to put photographs (small tiny one) next to the names of the people who contribute to the posts.  I feel that if they have the openness to write comments and tarok/compliment each other, they would not mind having their photos on the website? I could be wrong of course.

This thot crossed my mind coz being a very inactive member as I don’t join all the activities but if I do, I have great difficulty knowing who’s who
