Just a quick update before I shower and catch some sleep…

I’ve decided to separate my personal life with my professional life. (I’m trying to.) First baby step is to separate my rumblings and personal shoutings and professional related sharing digitally.

If you’re business partner, client, potential client/ partner, social media junkies, blogging kakis or anyone related in my professional role as director at 24seven, storyteller at claudia.sg or editor at blogpress.sg, please follow me (@claudia10) on Twitter or add me on Linkedin.

If you’re a friend, family, relative or people who cares (and I care about you too), please add me as friend on facebook. That’s where I’ll be sharing my personal stuff.

If you’re my blog reader, please join Claudia Lim “Fan page” in Facebook. I’m in midst of developing that sad looking page right now. Please be patient. Really… something more happening will take place there soon! So go “Like” Claudia Lim first. (That sounds -_-”)

So there, you’ve been directed to the right channel to get the right kind of things you want to know about or from me.

Now… where’s my sleep….

This was from two months back, but decide to post it up still so that I can remind myself about this in years to come. This blog has become part of my memory repository too, in case one day, I forget who I am or needs help in recalling portion of my life when I’m old. And my children and grandchildren can read about me too through this blog. Ha! Ok, back to the article on BT.

Nothing to comment on this right now since it was from two months ago. Progression and growth digitally is too fast too furious. Something two months ago may not be news anymore. Just want to post it up as a record for my own reference. And if you’d missed this, for your reading too.

A while back I did a quick sharing on why I think the INQ Mini 3G is cool. After I got a little more acquainted with the review unit, I discovered some more things, both good and not so good, about the phone. Here’s a little more about the INQ Mini 3G from Claud talks Gadgets.

INQ Mini 3G

Year 2010! This is the year where so many important events will be taking place. Personally, work wise and nation wise.

2010 is a very nice number and it being an “even” year makes it even more meaningful. Don’t you see that most of the major events around the world surrounds the “even” year?

Yes, I am labeling this as “Part 1″ because there will be many posts upcoming that will be related to the count down for 2010. I is very excited lah!

So, for Part 1, I am going to dedicate to YOG2010.

To commemorate the countdown to Singapore YOG2010, the organizers gave out limited edition pin on Twitter. I chanced upon it and spread the tweet out too. And for doing so, and hash tagging it with #singapore2010 I got myself this cute little pin…

YOG2010 Limited Edition Pin

Yap, that’s how cui I look… lack of sleep and rest and unhealthy diet is NOT good for your health! Don’t do it! For me, its bo pian.

Anyway, behind the card printed…

365 Days to the first Youth Olympic Games
The Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games is just 365 days away – with the spirit of vibrant energy going stronger everyday. To commemorate the one-year countdown event on 14 August 2009, a limited edition souvenir pin featuring the Spirit of Youth emblem has been specially designed.

The souvenir pin has been created in celebration of the city’s progress and oneness towards inspiring youth to embrace, embody and express the Olympic values of Excellence, Friendship and Respect in all spheres of life.

Not sure if they’re still giving out this pin, why not follow @singapore2010 on twitter to find out?

Previously I shared some photos taken with Nokia N97 in my PCshow special of Claud talks Gadgets. Here’s my take on some other features on the phone and why I’m loving Gravity on the Nokia N97 so much. Watch it in HQ!

• Exterior of Nokia N97
• Customising the homescreen
• Editing and moving applications
• Marking multiple photos and videos
• Viewing photos
• Twittering with Gravity demo

Also my first attempt with the new iMovie on my new MBP! *coughs* Video taken with the Canon IXUS 110IS.

#sgtweetup ended with mixed thoughts from those who were there that night. So what happened? Was it good? Could it have been better? And what’s the difference between #smbsg #websg #sgtweetup and Tweet! Tuesday? Let see my analysis of them all. *takes out magnifying glass*

First lets see what’s a tweetup. In my own words, its a mashed-up for meet-up that happens for people using Twitter. Hence tweetup. Simple right? So when I came to know about the first sgtweetup by @CarlGriffith, my immediate impression was, “Yeah! I’m going to meet more new people!” And that’s what happened. (For me!) I got to catch up with old friends, especially nice seeing @emoh whom I knew back in my days at Made With Love, and I met lots of new ones too! *waves!!* I regretted not getting to meet everyone there. There will be a next one I’m sure! In fact @inrsoul has already started the next tweetup with beer and tapas on 21 May! (Sorry guys, can’t make it for this one. Heading to BKK the next day.)

If you’d read yesterday’s chinese papers, you would not have missed this huge photo of three black humans with two macbooks and an iPhone on the cover of zbNOW (Zaobao Now).

That’s @claudia10 (me), @howiec and @patlaw with our twitter page.

This interview happened when the journalist from Zao Bao contacted TDM to see if anyone of us are able to share more about Twitter with him. And after a few emails, Howie confirmed the interview with Fong Wei and we met at Geek Terminal one evening for the interview. Coincidentally, I’d met Fong Wei and his photographer previously at the Volvo Ocean Race with Puma.

When I saw the article on my desk yesterday (thanks to molemole), my jaws dropped. I had no idea it would be a cover story for zbNOW and such a long one too! To be honest, I had lots of problem trying to read past the first paragraph. Too many of the characters know me more than I know them. So thanks to @melvinkee and @shenheng, we had an english translated version, which was rather hilarious reading through it. You can also find the online copy of this article in mandarin here.

In brief, the part where I contributed is on how locals whom I’m following are using Twitter. Based on my researched while I try to find all Singapore Tweeters via @sgtweet.
