Late new year wishes!! :)

2010!! Firstly, wishing you a happy and prosperous new year!! Secondly sorry for the late posting this. I was really busy with some works and catch-ups last few weeks. However, visited and explored Malaysia few days in the past holidays. Petronas towers are really fascinating in the night especially in 31st night and its all bright silver...
Normally, I don't like to exploring the city life and always want to interact with the environment, specially with forests. This may be due to the village life i used to live in Sri Lanka, and I m pretty comfortable when I see green. But this time I love KL trip coz I found the Kinokuniya book store in KL and the books are pretty cheap. I was like crazy to choose books, and finally ended up with buying a really cool book titled "Brain Sense". And the journey by bus from Singapore to Kuala Lampur, Malaysia also a good point to discuss here. Even though it took around 4 hours it's such a wonderful journey to me, mostly because of the green and the mountains.

World Economic Forum (WEF) Kids Workshop, Singapore

Last Saturday the World economic forum kids workshop was held at Mixed Reality Lab, CUTE Center in National University of Singapore. It was nice to see kids are playing with papers, balloons, and prototyping. Most of the generated ideas are related to environmental pollution and the natural resources, except one group concerned on Internet security and the associated threats. After the workshop had nice sushi from professor.

Finally submitted to KAIST YoungCT conference paper on Poetry Mix-up. I hope it will be a success since this year's theme is "Engaging Culture and Technology".

TEDx Singapore

Last Saturday I attended to the TEDx Singapore event. It has been a good inspirational event and they tried to open eyes of attendees with other dimensions such as design by green etc. However, a bit disappointed since  there were only videos and no live speeches. Anyway, in the near future they are trying to arrange a full day work shop and looking forward to that event. :)
