WWDC 08

If you do not know what WWDC is, it is an Apple event called Worldwide Developers Conference. And if you do not know what is gonna be revealed... Where the hell have you been? Mars?

Steve Jobs is going to unveil the highly secretive Iphone version 2 and many speculations are floating around the net about the new specifications of this "new" gizmo. 3G? Thinner? Cheaper? GPS?

Rumored to be $200 when its revealed. Totally budget. Totally hope to get it soon.

Working in a Start Up

Alright, this is totally overdue.

While everyone else secures their future as a highly productive office worker of the 21st Century in high flying companies, I took the opportunity from Darren (Zethis) to work in his web design start up as a business development personnel.

The pictures up there show the environment at my desk. A little messy, pencil and paper, laptop and desktop together, msn with my dearest behind Microsoft Word.


Paper is starting to stack on my desk, and they're not stuff that are printed black and white but more of scribblings on paper done by me. I do a lot of planning here, a range of different stuffs really and scribbling the ideas on paper is really the best way for me to get my thoughts in order. Having Word or Powerpoint open and planning right there and then just doesn't cut it.

So, what is this company I'm working at? If you haven't already done so, check out CartMomo. Yeah, its a startup web site with aims of allowing people to start their shops and sell their wares. And right at this point, the guys here are working on Campus Malls and aim to bring promotions from various brands to students of institutions in Singapore. Check out TP Campus Mall set up for Temasek Polytechnic students. It has a number of features that would excel over CartMomo and would eventually be port over to the main site.

Working at a start up is exciting. You don't get lots of prestige or lots of money. In fact, they live on funds. Every minute is crucial. Selling is a tough job for a brand without much recognition. Persistence is essential.

However, as a new comer, although I have my ideas of how to grow the business and company, Randy (Partner of the ownership of the company) has a different idea of the direction the company should take. So does Hanhaw, the 3rd personnel I worked with here at CartMomo.

In the mean time, my focus will be placed on the Campus Malls and making it work. Loads of planning, loads of presentations to do, loads of propositions and negotiations.

Time to work.
