Hwa Tai 华大饼干空中电台广告点评


应该是 Hwa Tai 华大饼干近期制作的“好感度”声音广告,收音机播出来时候,有这么一句:

“… 小时候每当我不开心时~爸爸就会给我吃华大饼干。”

听后联想到 Hwa Tai 华大饼干就是跟“童年所有不开心”挂钩的~~~ 哈哈哈。(因为句子过后就没有下文,也没说明吃了开不开心,卡得正中。)

或许他们更改成~~~ “… 小时候最开心的回忆是跟同学们在儿童节分享华大饼干~”会好些。

Robotics for Children / Kids



What a fortunate turn of event to have landed among one of the rare quality chit chat, during work day with mere colleague(s). (And we're not even working in a field that anyhow related to what the chatting topic was hah!)

Mindstorm from LEGO - http://mindstorms.lego.com/en-us/Default.aspx
  • Light sensor
  • Touch sensor
  • Central command units

  • Can make a "lift" unit with one command unit.
  • Can make a colour balls "exterminator".
  • Can make a robotic vaccuum pal.
  • Drag & Drop programming approach.

Arduino - http://www.arduino.cc/
  • Seems like far more advance and complicated
  • Cost a lot lesser than Mindstorm (I suppose)
  • Coding intense.
If any parents can afford the price tag, it'll be great to have an early exposure to practical algorithms. (Warning, shall drastically kill-off artistic+sensual part of our brain, hah!)

Eastin Hotel Ballroom's Popping Speaker

The large speakers hanging at frontal left, were popping badly.

Cosy & nice ballroom, strange though, waiter kept placing the dishes from the most inconvenient side of the table.

Caution if any audiophile wishes to have their best moment in the ballroom, make sure they replaced the broken speakers.
