i wonder when was the last time i mentioned "time flies"
i would like to mention how time flies again today.
i remembered year2000 vividly because we entered a new millennium and i felt so lucky because a small proportion of human beings get to live through a millennium.
today marks the end of the 1st decade(2000-2009) of the 21st century. within these short 10 years lots of events happened (strait times came up with a series of articles showing the changes and major events for the LAST decade) rampant terrorism, improvement in technology, financial crises etc etc etc..
i did not do much reflections or set any resolutions this year(maybe later) and ushered in the new decade at home =)

few more days b4 sch reopen. gonna have another day of fun b4 i settle down and mentally prepare myself for sch
uni life so far is still okay for me and i enjoyed myself. i am glad i chose to study in a diff place as my friends(most are studying in the west).
i still remember vividly how depressed i was when i got "kicked out" of my ideal JC into my 2nd choice after 1st 3 months. nobody except myself knew how i felt then. i must say it had the biggest impact on my life so far.
I am someone who can do very well at a moment and fail the next moment. I used to spend alot of time on computer gaming and soccer and CCA when i was in sec sch and JC. Thus, neglecting my studies at times.
I wanna and will do well in uni! 1st sem has been great for me. i want a good future =)
pls remind me not to be complacent and work as hard for sem2.

i always have the urge to blog in the wee hours( or is it early morning?) when i will feel abit emo and when i will have random thoughts.
I love the quietness when everyone is sleeping esp from 2-7am. yes i am nocturnal.
I was tidying my table when i chanced upon all those notes written by my friends(u know those kind when every1 writes a short msg to each other?) yes i still keep them and i keep alot of things =S reading all these evoke all kinds of feelings which are very difficult to describe in words.
i feel that i have grown alot ever since jc days. i have my own opinions on issues and i do not conform with ppl. i have my own philosophy in life and i understand why certain things happen.
abrupt end to my thots..haha....

some1 predicted that the next financial crisis will be in 2012... hmmmmm... same sentiments.. my prediction will be in 3-5 years times. meanwhile every1 should join in the market frenzy and push stocks market up up up up...
US should do something more than just keeping interest rate low and having ballooning budget deficit......
now people are dumping the greenbacks(USD) or using them to buy gold or invest in emerging markets...

Apple
I am not gg to discuss about the fruit:apple, but rather the company:apple. =)
I was talking about iphone to my dad and so spoke to him about the company and why is it so successful.
I am really impressed with the business strategy of apple which is unlike others. There is a reason why apple is the most admired company and the brand will be even stronger in the future.
Have you ever seen a company which has so much bargaining power esp when they sell their iphone? (u have to sign a plan to get a phone and ppl willingly paid high price for them) Do you think companies like nokia and samsung are able to do this? Have u seen a company which believes in developing their own hardware and software?
Apple has reached the next phase of their business strategy in iphone which is to increase market shares after giving exclusivity to a telco in each country. For instance in SG, the market is already saturated because there is a limit to the number of 2year plans ppl can sign and those who really want it have already gotten it by paying a premium for the phone. What's next? Sell iphone to starhub and M1 and increase market share for iphone 3g and 3gs. Why is this a smart move? Not only is apple able to increase market shares, they are able to sell iphone 3g/3gs(totally similar designs) b4 launching the next generation of iphone in 2010, and thereby creating a new market.
Why iphone is unbeatable? Apple is able to create a single model and cause a craze in the market unlike other handset makers which produces many models. Apple has their own complementary products(software) esp the itunes. They have APPLICATIONS with "an app for everything" literally. Products in itunes are either free or paid which create another market for apple to earn money. This means that even if other handset makers are able to create better hardware, they will still lose out to apple. Congratulations to apple. You will be dominating the market 5 years down the road and goodbye to nokia.
You have already dominated the MP3 player market, then phones, then computers?
