Road Trip : France

We left Stafford at 8PM (GMT 0) and reached Paris the next day at 6AM (GMT +1). We didn't manage to spend much time in Paris as it was too risky to park a car full of goods in anywhere in Paris. The drive around Paris was interesting enough though.

We then left for Lyon which was another 4 hours drive. Spent 2 days there before heading to La Clusaz, the alps. All in all, the 11 days trip covered much of France's major city. Annecy was beautiful, Marseille was amazing, Lyon was great, Relevant was classic and the list just goes on. The trip was ended with a 3 day 2 night party called Payes Ton Fohrain, the most wicked party I've ever been to.I'm definitely missing my white brother Daniel and ADS brother Stanislas. Can't wait for our next trip in Malaysia. I'm definitely going to make it worthwhile for you guys :)

Wireless Mobile Museum Tour Guide System Using RFID

After all the hard work..The least I can do is share the proposal :P Do share your opinion.

Wireless Mobile Museum Tour Guide System Using RFID

The purpose of this system is to provide tourist or visitors of a museum a rich interactive experience on their visit. The system will be equipped with functions that will allow the user to obtain more information about the display and its artist. Information about the history of the artist, video presentation of the display and even peer to peer information sharing will be made available on this system. This helps to provide more exposure about the display to them. As an addition to the system, users will be able to locate any additional work of art from the same artist within the museum ground if it’s available.

Tourists who may find every display foreign to them will be able to obtain the history of the display. Basic information such as when the display was made, why it was made, and history of the artist will appeal to them to commemorate the trip.

Visitors may enjoy self guided tour around the museum with the system guiding them with directions from one display to another. During the trip, as visitors scroll through the museum, scanned RFID tags will provide them with basic information of the art. Optionally, users will have the choice to manually browse the displays by themselves. By doing so, tourists need to walk themselves all the way to the information desk to obtain information.

They may also save adequate time if the information desk is occupied at that point of time. Members of a tour group would find this system more informative as it provides a wider scope of information than the tour guide who is bounded to a limited time for every display.

Tha' Trip : Easter Break

I've had nothing but a good break this time around..The whole week stay in Chelmsford has been warm and fuzzy (& that's how I describe London to Izza)..Despite feeling lost without my D40, I had to thank my Android for saving the day when I left my camera back at Daniel's. However, I still stick to my opinion that the G1 Android's camera is really lousy in terms of quality and settings alteration capability..That of course, is another story for the future.

Somehow, I manage to lose my debit card in the past few days. The last transaction that I could recall was at McD'z in Wembley park..Luckily I was quick to notice and called em' guys at Lloyds to have it cancelled. My new card arrived today even though I was told that it should arrive on Saturday.

Had a mild breakfast in the morning at Chelmford's McD before heading to London. It was a session that simply reminded me of the days back when we used to sit and chat at the mamak or some random place. London had another surprise in store for me. I met up with Izza after ages..she hasn't changed a bit! We had lunch at Nando's before we parted..Overall, it was a short yet fun trip..It's all back to FYP now...another 8,000 words and a functional system and i'll be all smiless!

1 Down...2 To Go...

I'm almost done with London..this trip has been a really good surprise. We've been anxiously waiting for little Gavin to crawl out, but he's stayed put for over 5 days. It was the curry that finally did the trick. 04:49PM on 7th April is when this sneaky boy was brought to this world. It was a good experience to be one of the first-few see this new born.

The plan tomorrow is to hold up a banner saying "The Asians Kidnapped The Indian" while Daniel and Mun Hong is around :P Then again, tomorrow's gonna be my last day in London, gotta catch up wif Izza and Aliff if possible before heading back and dedicating the next 2 weeks to my project.

Bon Anniversaire Bastien

Some of the wildest birthday celebration i've encountered, yet, it was nothing but pure fun. It started of with a game of hide and seek. Our birthday boy roamed Newall Avenue clad in a gold flaked g-string searching for hidden clues. These clues then lead him to the final destination, back to the kitchen at home where candles were placed throughout the kitchen, champange bottles and birthday cakes were placed on the table. His love for tomato ketchup earned him 10 bottles of tomato ketchup from different brands. cool eh..Well, his real gift was a t-shirt, which was nice..

Making The Right Call..

Apparently there's further development in my summer plan. If the road trip to Lyon does take place on 7th of May, it will be a week in France. And the development?It might be another week in Ibiza, Spain if cashflow permits. Ibiza does sound a.w.e.s.om.e...The one place dJ'z throughout the world head during summer to launch new beats and mixes...we'll see how it goes
