Bing.com - New search enginee



Official logo of "BING"

Until a day, the most popular search enginee as we known is "GOOGLE". We just type "www.google.com", then start to find the information based on the keyword that you entered.

Now here has a new contemporary search enginee which is provided by Microsoft called as "BING". Bing is a web search engine created by Microsoft that replaces Live Search. Unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009, at the All Things D conference in San Diego, Bing is a replacement for Live Search, and will go live worldwide by June 3, 2009.[1]

Notable improvements in general searches include the addition of related searches (called "Explorer pane" on the left side of search results) based on semantic technology from PowerSet, a search company Microsoft purchased in 2008, search suggestions as you type, and the ability to keep track of your search history.[2]


The homepage of BING will always be changed
by daily. (dragged from wikipedia)

Sounds are great, rite? Now let us see how it is after the time it has been launched.

Meal: Siam Kitchen at Bugis Junction

Faye Lim, Chen Chai and I went to Iluma again to watch the other movie, called as "Angels and Demons". I think that I not need describe how the movie was, of course everyone will enjoy this movie soon. Also, that day was a first time Chen Chai met my "1st mother", FayeLim. Lucky both of them were talkative, otherwise I've to be a 中间人.

As our dinner, we decided to choose "SIAM KITCHEN" restaurant due to Chen chai gave a high recommandation with it. Of course I wanna tried how the taste was after heard Chen Chai's words. The environment was nice, also the waiter treated the customers, including three of us as well.

During my dinner, I ordered a portion of "Thai traditional Seafood with Fired Rice". FayeLim and Chen Chai has ordered a portion of "Seafood with Thai Sauce Fired Rice" and "Fillet Chop with Special Thai Sauce" for each other. Meanwhile, we also ordered a bowl of "Tom Yam Soup" and some drinks.


Chen chai, FayeLim and Fired Rice

Overall of this meal, there was nice especially a Tom Yam soup, it was nice to taste because it was fully with origin thai herb and seafood. Also the seafood was very juicy, prawns were relatively big. Yum yum... Three of us rushed to taste the Tom Yam Soup and each other meal because we were very hungry after watched the movie.

Everything was done just nice, it would have been perfect if only the portion were bigger, but I guess you can’t have everything everytime. Also the price was averange, around SGD 10++.

Movie: Star Trek

Star trek

My friends and I have enjoyed "Star trek" movie last week. It was cool, fantastic and nice. Before it, I thought it is a bored movie because I'm not a fan with "Star trek" drama. Also, I heard my friend who said this move is a "low budget" movie. Lucky I didn't listen his word, otherwise I will regret it.


"Star trek" movie tickets

We purposely went to the Illuma Mall which is a new shopping mall opened last a few weeks. That's impressive because it was huge, and also has an escalator from ground floor to 4Th floor. Although there don't have so much shops opened during that time, I believe the business will be grown after a couple of weeks to make the competitive with BUGIS JUNCTION. ^_^


So high this escalator.. G floor to 4th Floor.


"Film Garde" cinema at Illuma Mall (Opposite Bugis Junction)

The rating of Star Trek Moive: 4 of 5 stars.
- Good Animation, Act and easy to understand what the movie is representing. GOOD!!

Meal: V8 Cafe (Bugis Junction)

Since Faye Lim, Xin Hui and Yen ting came back from their vacation at Bali Island last week. That's a time to let us gather together last Saturday. Once we can share the Bali Story, also I can get the souvenir from Faye Lim. HEHE...

On that day, we took Fen Ming's idea that enjoying our dinner at "V8 CAFE" which is located at Bugis Junction. Due to whatever she recommand to us, it is sure at least 80% can be accepted.

In front of "V8 Cafe" at Bugis Junction

Basically I very like to eat spaghetti, otherwise I won't always took spaghetti as my dinner when I was at UK last 2 years ago. I tried a lot of different spaghetties from hawker stall, catering, buffet, until restaurant at the every place I've belong before. So that day, I've ordered a portion of "Pernankan" spaghetti which was fully served with small shrimp and potatos wedges.


Soup, Fen Ming, Faye Lim, Yen Ting and Me

As to "Pernankan" spaghetti, it was delightful, even the prawn was juicy and tasty, but the quantity of prawns are little. It should be great if there served more instead of only 2 prawns in one portion. Anyway, the potatos wedges were crispier than what we eaten at KFC. Also, it was providing with a lot of cheese and mayonnaise to the potatos wedges. With these sauce, the taste of potato wedges became more delicious. 

"Pernankan" spaghetti Meal, V8 Menu and Me... ^_^

With these two meals, I would recommend myself and my frinds will come to enjoy the other meals at this restaurant again. Also, the price is bot bad since it only costs me around SGD 13++.

Meal: Billy Bombers (Jurong Point)

At last week, I came out to meet my old second schoolmate, Chong Keat, at Jurong Point. To be frank, he was nothing much to change after 5 or 6 years when we graduated from Chung Ling high school in 2001. Plus, he becomes more mature as I expected. Haha...

We went to Jurong Point due to the location is near for both of us since I've moved to Jurong East, and Chong keat stayed at Chua Chu Kang. Not knowing what meal should we ordered, we simply entered one of restuarant, called as "Billy Bombers" in Jurong point.


Billy Bombers with Citibank Promotion

Because there has only two of us, so we ordered the meal in seperately. As to me, I ordered a big portion of "Full set of Burger" and "Milk shake", and the other portion of "Pork chop" for Chong Keat. "Full set of Burger" was serving with a roasted chicken and ham which is pretty nice to keep the fresh. Other than meat, there are egg, vege, tomato and bun. Of course, I served myself with chili sauce that made the taste became more spicy. Again, I like the spicy food.


Pork Chop which ordered by Chong Keat


Yumyum.. my "Full set of Burger"


Is it thick enough?

Although the taste was quite good, the price was quite expensive. It costs me around SGD30++. For the environment, it was great if you made the dating with your girlfriend or gathering with your friends.

Politic: The darkness day of Malaysia


One Black Malaysia: Democracy first, elections now

"One Black Malaysia: Democracy first, elections now" is a parody on Mr Najib's "One Malaysia: People first, Performance Now" slogan. It was introduced by activist Wong Chin Huat. The 1BlackMalaysia campaign was to be a peaceful, yet powerful message of 'civil disobedience'.


Nevertheless, is BN has any different with Gangster within this a few years? How do you feel after you read the news shown as below?

1.纳吉伪善政权原形毕露!

2.把原任议长,西华拖出议会厅,甘尼申登上议长席

3.与昨晚被捕人士已获释 黄进发说我国变专制国

Is it suppose to be done by a government who was previously promise on "Democracy" in independent day (1963)? BN, please stop to play this kind of silly and foolish game!!!

警察!!!如果你有胆量就去抓某个人说"要以华人的血清洗马来短剑",不要只是来欺负人民。说穿黑衣就被捕,那他呢? 举剑无罪,黑衣犯法. 正好笑...

Do you know you are the worst in the world? Wake up please.. F***er

I have my bored training at NTUC income HQ by today and yesterday. But before I mention it, I would to say about the SWINE flu (H1N1) that always be announced by government via media, including SINGAPORE. Everyone who has been anywhere have been pretty much familiar with it, including my company has setup a counter to check everyone temperature before enter the building. Everyone who is OK will be stamped with a sticker which shown as below. ALAMAK... it can't be a joke anymore.


The sticker shows me "I'm OK". =.=''

Alright, back to my topic. This 2 days training will introduce what the functionality and policy of NTUC INCOME that compulsory us to follow before I'm against with law. As my duty has always touched the customer information, there are not allow me to "dispose" any information that I have made. Otherwise, curry rice will become my daily meal in future. =.='' I think you should know what I'm talking about.

Of course, this course is very damn boring, but I still need to finish it. =.=''
