Acting cute is not just for the sweet young thing. Anyone can do it! So can I!
Its going to be a rather disturbing post for those who have never seen me in these cuteness before. For those who have, this post might serve as a horrible recount of those sleepless nights where my cuteness haunted you. For those who simply can’t tolerate the sight of indescribable alien from land of ultimate cuteness, this is not for you!

Things are slowly getting better and more organized. Looking forward to our bright future ahead!
Looking at the schedule of mine, and the task list that’s ever growing, I don’t know when and how will I ever have time for the usual long posting already. Perhaps only for my almost-regular columns here in Claudia.sg.
Already got so many columns here already, so I’ve decided to add one more in! *LOL!* This is call “My Life in Cubes” series. Basically its going to be random shots of my life over the past few weeks. If you’ve really got nothing better to do, you can follow my life on my other blog or my twitter feed, which I’d been extremely active in. If you’re not on twitter, what are you waiting for? Go sign up so that you can follow my tweets! *WAHAHAHA!*
So here’s My Life in Cubes #1…
Pssss…. if you’re as busy as me too, perhaps you can give this a try! Start your own “My Life in Cubes” too!! Super easy! If you’re having problem with the mosaic photos, try this Mosaic Maker. That’s what I use!
On 1 February, I was out with a group of friends at Sentosa Flower Festival. Sharing some of the better shots I got that day.
“Bonded together”
And lastly my favorite shot from the day… “I want to be like her”
Other photos taken by fellow photographers and friends that day can be found in the facebook event album. All thoughts, critiques and trashing for the above three shots welcome. Comment below…

Flickr has helped brought memories and helped me see change. As I was uploading this year’s family photos up, I thought it’ll be interesting to see how much we’ve changed over the years. And thanks to my flickr pro account, this is easily done with just a few clicks.
So here, I’m going to travel back in time, to the past few Chinese New Year with photos of us…
Technology is always changing, and so does customers need and expectation. Singtel saw this need as a calling, and so they aim to transform their telco image to becoming your multimedia solution provider. And with that in mind, Singtel is changing and improving their customers experience at their stores. No more boring waiting time! There’s much to explore while you wait for your number.
The latest Singtel store at Jurong Point
To get an opportunity to openly take photos of this new store, I woke up early and headed all the way to the west…
And than upon arriving at Jurong Point, I mixed up the basement for the ground floor! This proves that I was probably still half asleep! Anyway, if you’ve not been to the new Jurong Point yet, here’s how the new basement look…
With some navigation help, I managed to find Singtel store (just opposite Samsung) at Unit B1-98/99 (at JP2). And there were four sexy looking things inviting me to touch them!
These are interactive screens where you can browse and purchase multimedia direct to your phones. (Sounds similar to PlayNow Kiosks right?) I haven’t tried exploring and trying it out in details yet, but from the looks of it, the content will be sent to your phone via MMS(?). Price of the songs are slightly more expensive than those from PlayNow, and I’m not quite sure if these are DRM-free too. Will have to check and update this post.
Let’s take a tour around the unique features and concepts of the store with Singtel’s Director of Corporate Communications… from how they enhance the in-store ambiance, embracing the coffee culture and to how they create multimedia solution with their music bar…
I personally like the concept of the music bar, so customers can get chance to interact and try it out while waiting. Or they can keep themselves entertained by listening to selection of music using the headphone. Touchscreen is cool, but imagine these interactive multimedia solutions using the multitouch technology on Win7!
There are six of such multimedia bars in store. So you don’t have to worry about hogging it for slightly longer. If not, just head outside the store for non-audio version.
As a Singtel customer for so many years, let me share my experience and delight after this visit.
Finding the right phone
Personally, when I am planning to buy a new phone, I would already have a list of features in mind and how I would like my phone to work for me. So having them displayed according to their brands at the store, may not be the best strategy. I like how Singtel is now seeing the way customers behave, they’ve grouped their displays according to the function and features.
Now these phones on display are still dummies. Apart from the latest from Samsung which have the real thing on display in the center of the shop. If all the mobile phone providers can have a real set on display too, it will surely enhance the experience even more!
Creating visuals
For many customers, it is hard to visualise how a mio setup will look in their homes. So instead of displaying the unit on a shelf and have the customer cracking their visualisation, Singtel has set it up for you.
This is how clean and simple the setup for mio broadband and tv and mobile will look at home. Of course, they don’t have to line-up next to one another.
Not just mobiles
To become a multimedia solution provider needs more than just having mobile phones. There is a corner dedicated to the latest gadgets that will compliment Singtel service.
These displays are all in working condition, so customers can experience the real thing. One which attracted my interest is these stylish looking glasses.

Very cool! But its only working with iPods.
Putting customers first
It is important to make your customers feel welcome and comfortable. I’d been settling my Singtel plans and transactions at Compasspoint. And with limited space, customers have to stand and carry out the entire process. As for those stores where there’s big enough space, the staff would be sitting behind a counter and servicing their customers with a barrier between them. But now, with the coffee culture concept in mind, Singtel have created a closer interaction with their customers.
So now, you can see what goes on behind those screens and if you’re savvy enough, you can even take over control! Having all phone plans, details and information stored, their staff can now provide a better integrated interaction with their customers. Forget about brochures and product flyers, everything is just a click away!
I’m impressed by the commitment Singtel has to improving their system. I always believe in engaging with your audience and giving them an experience that they will talk about. And this new store concept does just that! Looking forward to seeing more of these stores popping around soon!

Here are the final selection of photos from my first trip to Kampong Buangkok. Trying to capture it before its torn down for new development. I might go back again on another day when the sky is nicer. Hope that day will come and I’ll be available for the photo trip.
Please do share your comments and feedback of the following photos. Appreciate your time viewing and your critiques.
