Coupled with a PC, Spectrometers used in any analytical laboratory are often bulky and large. Even though there are numerous handheld spectrometers sold in the market, none of them look like this! Most handheld Raman spectrometer have the rugged look and needs to be held close to the target in order to get a good detection of the scattered photons. Look! It's a Food scanner. It's a Handheld Spectrometer. It's TellSpec~! Food composition analysis has never been done easier! Simply wave this beam emitting gizmo over your Ramen and within seconds you will be able to find out the nutritional data of your favourite noodles. Is that even possible?!

Ever wondered why No one tweets your article? Well actually there is a way to make a tweet work. All you need to do is to make tweeting easier and interesting. Most people find tweeting a hassle. That is because they'll need a good amount of time to login to their twitter account, come out with a catchy phrase to go with the tweet, key in those words and copy the link back to the article. That's a lot of work for just a single tweet. Don't you think so?

Like the new design of this site? Some of you might have already noticed that I have changed the layout of this site to mobile responsive last week.

Notice that by shortening and lengthening the width of your browser window will cause the web design layout to change.

Heavy rainfalls.. water ponding.. zzz. Dang.. my usb thumb drive got drenched! and now it's dead. Considered myself lucky as I was not given any holiday assignments. If not, I'll be having a hard time recovering the files. yeah whatever~ is time to look for a new stick. In the past, a decent portable storage drive would probably cost around 20 bucks at least. A good working flash drive now would only costs you 10 bucks or even less. Although the primary uses of a usb flash drive is for backup, files transfer and data storage but these days the design of this little guy seems to be getting more and more flashy. Well, I guess it has got some aesthetic function to serve as well since everyone is carrying it around with them wherever they go~ So lets take a look at some of these interesting personal usb flash drives that I found on-line.

Google, the search engine giant that has loads of hidden gems. Some of which you might have already came across, some maybe not.

Carrot Cake! Fried not baked? Recipe calls for rice flour, radish and egg but no orange carrot ? Huh? If you ever lived in the South-east Asian countries, particularly in Singapore or Malaysia,  you would probably know what kind of carrot cake I am talking about. Yes! the one we had for our breakfast. Fried cake here is very different from the awesome birthday cake you had during your celebrations. So why do we call it carrot cake when it's not baked and it does not contain any carrot?

When we are feeling down or stressed out with life, we often crave for some food that will help us feel happy. More often these "comforting" food are flavourful and unhealthy. The yellow glowing macaroni and cheese that you prepared from the magical little blue box. The respawning chocolate chips cookie crumbs that was left in your cookie jar.   Macaroni and Cheese Have you ever wondered why do we feel happy after consuming such unhealthy food ?

Resume is the most important self advertising tools used when applying for a job, not to mention much needed for entrance to a graduate school. Is the very first document your employers would see before flipping though your portfolio. In order to stand out from the crowd, your resume will need to be one of a kind. And there's no better place to look at except designers' resumes if you are seeking for some inspiring and innovative resume ideas. Of course not all employers are willing to accept bold resumes like these. Most businesses still prefer a simple black and white resume. These resumes are much well suited for design job applications. Below are my favourite 15 picks of graphic design resumes. Some of them are from Singapore~ :D Can you spot them?

In the Web 2.0 era, web sites today no longer contain content that is static. Everyone here is constantly generating/commenting and sharing content online.

I've always been fascinated with collage artwork. Be it text ( word collage ) or pictures. Long gone are the days where we need to do all the manual cutting and pasting. Now most photos were digitally edited and kept as a digital photo book. Some of you may be wondering how your friends are able make these wonderful photo montage on Facebook or Photobucket? How were they able to put several pictures into one image? Did they use some kind of digital photo editing software like Aperture or Photoshop? Well, I doubt they did~ Because using such programs to create image collage requires a good amount time and skills. You'd probably need to read though a few photo editing tutorials before you can do anything. The easier method is to use an online collage maker software. Not only it allows you to piece multiple photos together and create wonderful shapes of images, they often include a few customizable collage templates which you can play around with. Best of all~ no download

Hi hi! this must be your first time creating a blog or a website? Am I right? You did a Google search, but to no avail. You just cant seem to find your site. So where is your site? you are wondering..  I had the same experience when I started my first blog.

Flash card, possibly one of the most useful learning tools around. Don't you agree? Remember the time when you were just a little toddler.. your parents waved these weird big animal/fruits picture cards in front of you. Yes! that is flashcard learning. See I even have my own "flesh" card example to show you lol Bet you'll never forget how a mangosteen and durian looks like.  

As some of you know my school term has already started. Has been always a pain for me even just to draft up my research papers outline. Afraid that the articles I wrote couldn't pass the authenticity check. No. I don't I cut and paste. However sometimes is really difficult to churn out a 100 percent original assignment when there are already so many well written papers out there. Some schools and universities are using paid popular software like turnitin for plagiarism detection. What about some of us, students or maybe even teachers, who cant afford to pay for software? How to check our papers for originality? Are there any other free alternative tools?

Have you seen Google mounted cars roving around Singapore before? We are actually the first Southeast-Asian country to get street view in 2009.  By dragging little yellow "Pegman" icon you can virtually fly though any street featured on the Google map.

Hey you there! Stop hopping around sites to search for Free backlink building software or tools. Before you start using these free tool why not ask yourself:" Will I be able to handle the risk of getting my blog/site blacklisted?" If you can't. Dont try it!

The most you can get out from them is a bunch of cheap useless links.

Perhaps you always hide yourself away in the secret basement just to work on your little Arduino projects...

This tool is very useful for anyone who is doing competitive SEO research, it gives a good guide of where your competitors are actually standing. Best of all, it's Free. I'll just briefly go through some of the features that SEOquake offers:

Google unveiled Chromecast few days back web users from around the world seems to be eyeing on it and hope to get their hands on this little stick. I cant understand why some people here got so hyped up over this particular product.. when they very well know netflix is not available in Singapore. So what can you do with it? stream youtube videos? You might as well get an Xbox.

Bad day.. This morning, I was browsing though the net with my Samsung 10.1 Tab..

First off, Hurray to Singapore! First time a Singaporean won championship at Evo. Awesome game! I managed to watch the whole game replay. Even though I am not a gamer haha.  Anyway.. the games I am introducing here are very different from your Classic SEGA Sonic game or even the addicting candy crush game that you play everyday during your office hours. 

Before reading this article you should already have basic understanding of what SEO is about. If not, you can always refer to our previous post on  What is Search Engine Optimization?   SEO can be categorised into two sub groups Off page SEO and On page SEO. This is how I look at Off page and On Page SEO... The context is pretty much similar to that of a human behavioural psychology theory. Nature vs Nurture . How it affects the development of human or in this case a website. On Page SEO is similar to "Nature" while Off Page SEO is similar to "Nurture" Let me explain further... Some said that Off page SEO is 30% responsible for the overall SEO process. In my opinion both On page and Off page are mutually responsible for a site to achieve #1 ranking.

While folks from certain parts of the world are enjoying their summer vacation at the beach, mine ends this week. :( Why do Holidays always seem so short?

As usual a little introduction about the food that I am going to cook. Hmmm... What exactly is a white pizza?  Is it a must to have white sauce (roux made from butter and flour) as the toppings?  Even I myself wasn't sure about the real definition of it either.. So I did some extensive research on the variations. And I found out that the only difference between a red and a white pizza is white doesn't use tomato sauce. A white pizza can be made simply from only just cheese and herbs.  Anyway without further ado Lets start me cooking show! Popeye is hungry! Healthy White Spinach Pizza 45 min

Homemade Pizza Dough Time:1 hour Been a long long time since I had a decent handmade pizza. So Today I decided to make one myself! No. I am not going eat those off-shelf factory frozen pizza. Most of them taste disgusting in my opinion. Instead of buying processed food, why not learn how to make your own pizza dough from scratch? Make your own fresh pizza!

I remember when I first started my blogging it was 10 over years ago. Till this day the blogosphere is still expanding. More and more people are blogging and which is why you are here to start your own! For me, blog is just like a diary and notebook. I only write down memories that I choose to remember, express my own personal thoughts, useful information and personal experiences. Some people like to write about their gloomy life while others may blog about serious news.. Basically, you can write just about anything on a blog. And if you are searching for a free blogging platform then this article is written for you! These three, in my opinion, are my top recommended blogging sites for beginners. Best of all is! they are free! and they are much less likely to face the shut down threat.

Oh yeah we dont have Kapooya Kapooya but we have dropping ice grapes .

In the early June, a cooking challange was issued to Chef Ramsay by SingTel and a group of well known food bloggers in Singapore. How did all this happen? Is actually the result of debates among Singapore food bloggers whether or not if Singapore hawkers are Michelin-worthy?

Busy scrambling around Singapore looking for a cheap respirator mask? Surgical Mask Anyway there are a few points Mr Durian expect you to know before getting your self-defense mask.

For the past few days this tiny island, I am living on, has been enveloped by thick choking smoke. Due to illegal forest burning on Indonesia’s Sumatra island, Singapore is now covered with haze. Deforestation in Indonesia This is not the first time Singapore got hit by the particulate air.  Earlier this noon the highest PSI (Pollutant Standards Index) record of 266 in 1997 was broken.  I cant believe it.. Singapore's PSI hits 401! 

The Good old classic Pong Game Well how many of you remember playing this classic old game on your green computer screen?  I do. Yeh! this is the game that kick-start the whole video game industry. 

Saboteur? Sabotage? Mr Durian writing a card game review? Are you serious? YES! We played this game throughout the night of my birthday haha and we had great fun! Yeah. I seldom play games but that doesn't mean I don't play them.. Most games bore me after a while.. But if you are looking for a good casual card game for a group of people, I strongly suggest you getting Saboteur. I got mine from  Amazon. Anyway, this game has been out for quite a while and I have been playing it ever since. Is arguably one of the top rated casual game. Even as a non-gamer, I enjoyed playing this card game very much. This game revolves around a crew of gold-digging dwarves and the saboteurs. The good dwarves win when the gold is found . Meanwhile the saboteurs will sabotage the good dwarves from getting to their gold. Role will be assigned at the start of each round through card picking and will only be disclosed to others when the round ends. Then each players take turns to either

It's Time for another Mr Durian's cooking show. Today we will be learning how to cook the Steamed Spicy Pork Ribs with Fermented Soybean Paste. This is one of my "comfort food".. Basically, I can eat this everyday and never get tired of it. The feelings I have for this dish is like how Taiwanese would crave for their (卤肉饭 lu rou fan) braised pork rice. Mmm~ Let my Imagination run wild  Sitting on top of the white steamy rice is the rich flavourful spicy cooked meat, covered by a layer of glistening oil. Mmm...The smell - The soybean paste gravy - The umami flavour! I am already starting to salivate.

Going to hire a SEO company to rank your blog? Only SEO word collage Whether you are building your own personal blog or corporate blog. Believe me is much more effective to rank your own blog then to hire someone else to write it for you. Take a look around and you'll notice that most successful bloggers write their own blogs. No one knows about you (your company) better than yourself.

Oh yeah. This marks the beginning of my blogger SEO guide . Even if you are not a blogger these 10 golden rules still serve as a basis for you to succeed in optimizing your website. And if you managed to follow what is being engraved on the stones I created, you are on the right path to  White Hat SEO. Some must be thinking.. Why? Why should I stick with White Hat and not go Black Hat ? Reason is very simple.. Google's search algorithm is always changing for the better. Why? To wipe out all the black hat spams and low quality sites! Of course! If you choose to venture into the dark side.. Be prepared to get your ass slapped by some black/white animal someday. Therefore to create a true everlasting successful website/blog .. My advice is .. . . To follow the 10 Commandments!

Hey Spidey Can you sense it? Can you sense my happiness? Just a few days back my blog got approved by Google Adsense. Have been blogging hard for the past few months for this day to come (And of course I will continue to do so. :D) For those applicants living in Asian countries such as Singapore would probably understand how I felt waiting anxiously for our accounts to be approved because of  the irritating 6 months rule that was implemented by Google adsense few years back. If you got your Adsense account before they implement this rule Lucky for you. Now if you are applying Adsense from India, China, Singapore or some other parts of Asia, your running/active site must clock a certain domain age in order to get in. Although is stated clearly in their site that 6 months is the minimum required criteria. However if your website has high traffic is still plausible to get your account approved in less than 6 months. I got approved in slightly less than 6 months. What I want to

Oh man.. We all know it! We all have experienced that before! It was such a pain in the ass when migraine starts knocking on our head.. I hate it!

Patties are usually made from ground meat packed together with large amount of salt and seasonings. Sometimes eggs are added in as binder agent to keep the mixture from falling apart. The grounded mixture will then be shaped into flat round cake for cooking or storage. In the modern days patties are often served sandwiched between split buns. As fast food companies started incorporating burgers into their menu. It then quickly became a popular global food . And who knows what junk has gone into making these fast food meat patties. Perhaps connective tissues and cartilages?

Oh yeah.. This is a squeal post to  Why am I not selected for CPUV Campaign?

新年快乐！Ok I am feeling so bored that I decided to make this post.. on the first day of snake year. Chinatown Boxy Snake Snake is a very old game.. it came out in the 1970s..  became quite popular in the late 90s. you'll know why if you happened to own a Nokia phone in the 90s haha.. aww memories.. and the bounce ball game Any way now if you feel bored.. you can play snake on youtube. This is me playing snake on the happy new year song I composed.. Youtube Snake Random stranger: Show me how you play leh?? Mr Durain: Iyah Simple lah..

Good Stuff 酿蚝豉 蚝豉 (Oyster Crépinette) pronounced as haosi(好事) which can also means "good things" is a Traditional Chinese New Year dish of the Hakka Clan. Since my mum is a hakka chinese she would make this dish for reunion dinner every year. I can tell you that this dish is not something you'll want to make and eat every day.. reason is.. it requires alot of hard work + time... and not very healthy cause it uses caul fat ..

Caul Fat First! I believe most of you dont know what is Caul fat? They are use for wrapping meat like a sausage wrapper keeping the moisture in while cooking. They usually melts away after frying or baking leaving a silky smooth texture on the outside. This might not be a common cooking ingredient that you'll see in your everyday cooking show. Even if you have seen one you might not know what is it called. Needless to say, which part of the animal did it came from.

Slithering Snake spotted in Chinatown Shopping for Shoes Chinese New Year is just around the corner. The year of Snake is coming ..is time to say good bye to the ferocious dragon... but the mood of new year seems to be gradually dying off every year.. wonder if any of your felt the same.. Interesting keyboard Slippers Anyway me just went to Mustafa Centre and did my shopping .. and Thanks bro for sponsoring me the top Normal people like to go china town to get their 年货 (new year goodies) but abnormal people like me like to go Mustafa Centre to shop.. and is great to see more and more Chinese shopping there haha.. They sells all sorts of things... household appliances.. clothes.. food... who knows maybe you'll find some interesting stuff over there..  ---> Happy shopping people!! at the same time dont forget to do your spring cleaning at home.. Spring Cleaning Looks clean?
