Tropical City State Thurs Sep 2

Dear reader,   Just things to do today. How did you like the crosswords?   Sincerely, Joyce Woo Tropical City State      Activity (all events are admission free)   Tech but not Tokyo at Comex, i.e the Computer Exposition. Have ears and an eye on Africa.   COMEX Show 2010 The big IT trumpet of the year is here again. With credit cards tying-up with products in a bid to entice your use of card over cash, and splashes of advertising and product write-ups bombarding pages of the papers, this already looks like something to turn your ears to. I will say it’s worth a visit even if you are not intending to buy a 3D TV set, well, since you already have a LED, LCD or plasma one. Go gawk at the pasar malam salesmanship on display, watch a 3D movie without actually having to purchase anything if you can withstand standing throughout a whole 90 mins or so with people buzzing around you like bees, or do the usual aunty price-comparison exercise putting to good use mental math you learnt in school, leaving fairly empty-handed but happy to have figured out the cheapest buy possible in the market. You might get so hooked that you find yourself going everyday this weekend. Ends this Sunday.   Noon to 9pm, Suntec Singapore Levels 1 to 6 Click for full information ↘ Eye On Africa: Unearthing Uganda’s Energy Potential (Episode 1) Instead of animals of Africa, tune in to see humans and human activity in Africa. The first episode features Uganda and its economic position within the continent.

Tropical City State Wed Sep 1

Dear reader,

The mood these couple of days seems to be sanguine with more real and animated save the world stories (saviours of the BP crisis and Mariposa) neutrality of women and more awareness of a green lifestyle. The word’s lifestyle.

 

Have a wise Wednesday.

 

Sincerely,
Joyce Woo
