The Night When The Sky Was Red

Just came back from Kuala Lumpur, last time i went there was 2 years ago at my dad Graduation, but i was so sure it felt like 3 or 4 years ago, the trip was rather short for 4 days, went there for a convention bout business, my uncle thought it would be a great idea to bring me so that i could be exposed to the world that we actually live in, to really open my mind, and as much as i hate to say that im wrong, he's actually right, the world is a greedy place, the world is a place where nothing is free, it eat or be eaten, or maybe something more crucial than that, i did learn, mostly bout how stuff is nothing without the proper management, you can make something that is so great but without being manage properly, it's crap, pure crap, no one would know it, and the thing would just die, so there are couple of thing that i learn in that convention, the convention was actually 2 days, the 1st one was with the head design of Apple i think, Bob Borchers, and the second one was ProComp, don't know what the full name for that is but basically, it's where people present their ideas to a board with 6 panel judges who would hopefully gave them money to build that stuff.

The day i arrived didn't went so well as i can't sleep, mostly cause by my drive of watching Friends till 6 in the morning and wake up 12 in the afternoon of sooner, hey it could be worse, i used to wake up at 4PM, yeah imagined that, so that night i couldn't sleep at all, tried to sleep from 12am to 4 am, but i just kept moving around and it was 4 am, i watch the sky and it was weird, it wasn't black as how we normally see the sky at night with some stars, that night it was Red, yeah, but it's actually looks awesome, it's not really read, it's a little red with clouds cover, it's nice, it's strange and i like it, black skies are boring, so i couldn't sleep, so i watch The Vampire Diaries on my uncle laptop, and we stayed at YMCA it was actually a pleasant stay, and it's near to KL Sentral, so it's easy to get transportation, The Vampire Diaries was actually nice i would say, is it better than twilight? i can't tell, they're 2 very different stories, but The Vampire Diaries is judging that Twilight Vampire isn't real, so it was humorous a little bit, but all dead serious when 2 brother fight for a girl, yeah mushy stuff.

The 1st convention was about how to be a successful company like apple, yeah much bout that but it was interesting, especially bout the FedEx logo, it you look at it directly, it would look like an ordinary logo with 5 letters, but if you look at it closely between the E and the x it's actually an arrow portraying going forward >> take a look

The Arrow, which is said what makes the company sucessful.




There were other things that also make FedEx a successful company like, how the founder was daring, at his time, sending packages was illegal so he didn't care and went for it, and hey it pays off i guess, and there was a time when he was nearly broke, and someone probably from the bank was trying to get his plane, but he went to vegas instead to win some monet, and later pay for the planes, okay it's not funny when i say it, but it was funny when i heard it..

There are also other companies like Nike, Nokia and Motorola in that talk, The second was actually a presentation, was held by MSC and MdEC, which is trying to support Malaysian Innovator, to tell you the truth it was boring, but it did get crucial when the judges starting to ask question, that's where it got interesting, so there was 7 presentation, but only 1 caught my eye, it was Augmented Reality, it's sound new but it's actually old, Augmented Reality what is it? it's actually pretty cool, google it and youtube it for further explanation, so what is it? well for starters, it's a virtual platform that we can use by using our webcam or cellphone on everyday things like a postcard or a business card, heres a scenario, theres this card with a Toyota Logo, if you look it with a naked eye, it's just a logo, but when you point it to your webcam, there will be a Toyota car, in 3d and you can swirl it around with your fingers to see the exterior of the car, it will also show information bout the car.. How COOL IS THAT???, second scenario, a guy hands in his business card, still normal, but with webcam, you can see that guy talking, yeah i didn't see it clearly but that's what happened, it's awesome, and i hope that guy would get it, cause every part is trying to produce it, so this would actually make Malaysian proud that were even at the game..

okay that was too much information about my trip, yeah mostly boring, maybe after this it would get interesting, sorry guys, Buh-Bye
