Tips if you have problems downloading iPhone SDK
1. Go to http://developer.apple.com/iphone and login2. After logging in, the link is http://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
3. Replace http with https in the address bar so it reads https://developer.apple.com/iphone/index.action
4. Click the SDK link when the page is being served from the https server

The Economy Rice
You choose your one-meat-two-vegetables or two-meat-two-vegetables or three-meat-one-make-yourself-feel-better-vegetable. Then the nice gentleman looks at your plate and magically conjures up a price for your combo. The price will vary with the time of the day, the weather, and the position of the planets, even if the same dishes were selected.

SingTel offers marketing support to iPhone developers
under the agreement with SingTel, the developer gets 40 percent of sales unless revenue breaks $10,000. After that, the percentage becomes smaller.

Interesting move from SingTel. Makes me wonder, is that one country sales or worldwide sales?

Mocca Live at Esplanade
Today, I have a chance to see one of my favorite band, Mocca, performing live here in Singapore. The whole event called Mosaic Music Festival. In one word, I can explain the performance as: Awesome! It was my first time seeing them on stage, and I loved it very much.
They started the performance at 7pm. I don't exactly remember the title of the songs they played, as I was busy tweeting, and most (if not all) the songs they played are from their second album. I once had the cassette (whoa, what's that?) that I used to play repeatedly in my car, so I can't recall the title of the songs, but I know all the songs they played.
As you can see from the pictures, the view behind the stage is beautiful, and it adds some ambience to the music. They started when the sky was still quite bright, but became darker as the time passed by. To my surprise, a lot of people came to this (free) performance, and Mocca is quite known there. I remembered people used to diss me because I played Mocca in my car.
Overall, the 30 minutes performance was great. Actually they will play again tonight (as I write this) and tomorrow evening. I can't attend tonight's performance, but I definitely will come tomorrow. I hope they will play more songs from their third album, Colours. More picture below. Sorry for the quality because I only have a camera phone, not a digital SLR with uber zoom capability.

V-MODA Vibe II
I was looking for a good earphones with microphone for my iPhone. I use earphones almost everyday, so I might as well get a good one. After reading a lot of reviews and forums on the web, I ordered this earphones around last week. Some reviews I read on the net say it's good. I actually spent one day on weekend, tried to search for it in stores in Singapore, but no luck. Then I decided to order directly from their web store, since they provide (quite) cheap international shipping. After I placed my order, they sent the tracking id, so I can track the package from UPS site.
Fast forward about one week, the package arrived, in a small box.
The packaging box
Whoa, so big for earphones? I opened it to find out that the box filled with some foam thingy, and found the earphones box inside.

More info in the back
Packaging-wise, this thing looks awesome from outside, but when you try to open it, you'll find a lot of difficulties in your way. I realized that I don't have a pair of scissors nearby, so I cut things with nail clipper. Haha.. So, here are what I got inside the box:
The earphone plug, with "Rock Safely" warning
A lot of silicone caps, carrying case. VIP card, a pair of earhooks
How about sound quality? Well, I don't know. It's my first in-ear earphone. I usually use the standard iPod or iPhone earphones, and it's quite different. I can only say, for music, the sound is good compared to standard iPhone earphones. It blocks noise from outside. I have to pause the music to slightly hear the announcement on train. I cannot hear the engine sound of buses, which is quite loud. But for making calls, I prefer the old standard earphones that comes with the iPhone. It feels different when making calls, because with this earphone, you can feel your voice and it feels weird.
Anyway, that's my first experience with international purchase and delivery. Very good and pretty convenient.
