NEM at GITEX Future Stars Dubai 2018

ABBEY: We were invited to help in introducing and promoting NEM blockchain technology in Gitex Tech Week in Dubai. A booth of NEM was setup under blockchain category and 10 of its projects were also there. It is a great experience to interact with people from various industries, government and education (students included). We also approached other exhibitors for collaboration.

Keynote speeches, futuristic technologies (humanoid robots, flying cars), and arcade games like basketball shootout and air hockey gave the attendees and exhibitors a break from normal routine. Popcorn, hot drinks and cookies flowed at the event. There are also stores for quick snack and lunch.

The highlight for NEM is the MOU signing with Ministry of Community Development (Government of Dubai). This gave the foundation recognition for being a great blockchain platform.

WILL: "Wilma, I need you in Dubai!" Huwaaat?! Well, a man from HQ gave me a heads-up two weeks before. (Still, nothing beats my Ma’am Weng. Haha. She will tell you on the afternoon, and your flight will be tomorrow morning. Haha). 

As a volunteer, it is a moment that you will feel appreciated. Even though we will be there to help the NEM Middle East Team in day time, Abbey and I can make sometime to catch up with our friends and relatives in Dubai. Thank you to NEM FAMILY! 

So what we have in GITEX? We are surrounded by startup from different countries. Wondering why there is no Singapore presence there. Big booths was occupied by startup hubs. There is a room for investors lounge and there too much fun in the area. There’s free basketball, air hockey, free coffee and popcorn! Yum! 

The other hall consists of big boys! Huge boots of Huawei, Oracle and many more! 

Next booth was all white and you know why! That’s the hall of government agencies for all of the emirates. New projects, robotics and NEM MoU with Ministry of Community Development (MOCD) Government of Dubai was signed here. 

NEM will power MOCD’s notarizarion, voting and registry. Wooohooo! Well done NEM Middle East Team! 

We met people from different projects and government who we are seeing to have future collaboration with NEM. 

Thanks GITEX and NEM team! We learned many things just from observing! 

Till next event guys! :)

Siam Square Mookata: Cheap Mookata in Punggol

ABBEY: After a 14-km bike ride from home and roaming around Coney Island we had our mookata at Siam Square. 

We picked 10 items on the menu like a couple of pork belly slices, mushroom, pork liver, shrimp, balls, cheese, and a heap of veggies. They made the soup tasty. I liked their chilli dips. It gave kick as I munch on those pork slices. The cheese is combination of mozzarella and cheddar and yes we got cheese strings as we pull. 

WILL: We want to cycle around Punggol and glad that our friends joined us to Coney Island. And for your information, the shortest way to that Island is under construction. So, we circle to another path. :) 

It is tiring! OMG! Really tiring and we got an excuse to splurge on our dinner. We got Siam Square Mookata! Be early as it is get full by 630pm. 

So what we got? Cheeesseeeee! The thin slice grilled pork deep into the melted cheese is epic! Yumm! We ordered pork liver too for our friend Shane and more plates of pork. Darn! It is affordable. Our stomach is full and yet we we payed for only $11each! 

Recommendable! Good food with a good view!

Venom (2018)

ABBEY: We haven’t watched in cinema for a while. So I requested if we can watch Venom. Wilma booked a pair of IMAX 3D tickets.

Now I’m confused. Is Venom a hero or a villain? The movie is having a “Deadpool vibes” as the characters keep on throwing punchlines and jokes. Tom Hardy acted good though. I do hope that in sequel, they will show more the adventures of Eddie Brock-Venom tandem and how he went to the dark side.

Venom (2018)

WILL: Abbey keep on bugging me for us to have a movie date. I am really sorry, that I do not have time to go and I am thinking that there’s no worthy and good movie to watch and spend money. Haha. 

At last, Venom came. I am not a comic reader so I am expecting that this Venom movie will be dark. Hellloooo! Villain movie! But I am wrong. Venom is the hero on this! I laughed few times. Not really what I expect. Haha. 

Good movie? Hmmm 7/10.
