Me, UTM and Reader’s Digest

For those who read Reader’s Digest, I wonder if you noticed something or should I say see some familiar faces in the September 2008 issue. 

The editor revealed that this issue has been enhanced with new look and great content. They even added a few extra pages to the magazine. In this issue they introduced the higher education section in the Special Advertising Section.

Guess what? Universiti Teknologi Malaysia as well as other public and private higher learning institutions each has something to market about themselves. Competition is indeed stiff nowadays.

The thing about university and colleges is that they can’t use models (as in the fashion world) to market their services. They simply need energetic, young, professional-looking, confident and brilliant graduates to be their “fashion models”. I am glad that I fall into that group, and my friends too!

You may find this in the Special Adverising Section, page H24 of the September issue. To my friends out there, go and grab one of this issue. It is so rare to have our faces in magazine.

Thank you so much Ida for informing me about this. I am beaming now, smile is in the air, laughter is in the air. Forgive me for repeatedly saying September is a great month over and over again!

Google Chrome, on the go

Moyte! Google is launching Google Chrome! The Official Google Blog, Wikipedia and PC World has confirmed that the BRAND NEW BROWSER will be released in a short while. Google Blogoscope has a collection of screenshots of the much anticipated browser.

More interestingly, Google has came out with a creative idea to introduce the whole concept of the development of this open source browser, they drew comic.

Being a FireFox fan, I would still want to try with the beta version of Google Chrome. Perhaps I will like the new browser. As far as my browsing habit is of concern, Internet Explorer is now history, Opera is going to be history soon!

For those who are interested to try out the new browser, feel free to point to the official Google Chrome address. Note the official download will be available to the public at 2pm ET (GMT -4), September 2. For Malaysian time, it will be 2am (GMT +8), September 3.

See, September is the best month! Lots of goodies and surprises.

Update @ 650am: I have successfully downloaded Google Chrome.
