Dinner with a Visionary and Ping Party

I just had dinner with Ridz from XSMatter this evening. I got to know him at Nexus 2007 a few months back. He is one passionate guy, who has a lot of fire in his belly. He successfully organized VillageTalk a few weeks ago, which is modelled after very successful TED talks in the states. (The next VillageTalk will be held in coming September. Do look out for it.)

Over the dinner, he told me about his business, his next project, his ideas, his family and of course, his famous scandal with tstar. (Yo, Ridz, every pingsters knows.. you must be responsible ya.. haha..)

Talking to him made me realize that we have a lot of things in common. I will be meeting him again at Ping.sg 1st Year Anniversary party. (rumour has it that Ridz and tstar will be singing a duet.. haha..)

Oh, by the way, if you still don't know, Ping.sg is having its 1st Year Anniversary party at Geek Terminal this coming Saturday. Here are some of the people that I am really looking forward to meeting at the party:

- Uzyn (founder of Ping.sg and the guy who "hacked Today's RSS feed")
- Paddy Tan (founder of BAK2u, a mobile/laptop anti-theft software company)
- DK99 (Decay on the Net) I am voting him for Most Interactive Blog and Most Insightful Post
- Veron (sparklette.net) Voting her for Best Blog Design
- Eastcoastlife (eastcoastlife) Voting her for Most Controversial Post and Most Entertaining Post
If you are going to the Ping party, see you there!
