Urbanhideaway 2.0

it's not about where, but how you live

First post of 2010

It’s been really a long while (again) since my last post, which was a few months back in 2009. Many things have happened since.

Fortunately, there were not much of a surprise from Apple late in 2009, which gave us a lifeline on our inventory! Another fortunate and one of the highlights of 2009-2010 was that I was given the chance to join our team to the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas in Jan’10. The trip in itself is a blessing – a much needed break and travel, as well as a chance to widen my horizon. I’ve taken a series of photos and posted them on my Flickr page.

Moving forward, Apple has just announced the much anticipated “tablet” which turns out to be called the iPad, a blown up iPhone. While many people think that Apple might have lost it this time, I feel that Apple has something else in their sight, not just a device to kill the Kindle from Amazon. The game has just started so it’s too early to tell at the moment. But I’m betting on Apple to do something amazing as always.

So moving along in 2010, I’m planning to move Urbanhideaway cum my personal homepage, either to another home totally or changing to a more subtle theme. So watch out ;)

Opened a couple of years ago, Vanilla Cafe has many regulars coming back to enjoy the food, decor and books at this renovated 60’s house. On entering the front gate, you will find the two-storey bookstore on the left with selections of both Thai and international publications. Read the rest of this entry »
