Our smart developers built a very useful CNY travel tool which gives travellers a quick overview of the prices of flights and hotels to popular destinations - that are still available during this festive period. While many Singaporeans and Malaysians have already planned and booked their travel packages way in advance for this festive holiday, busy executives and travel procrastinators will welcome this new travel tool as it could be their way out this CNY break.
These search results are based on ticket prices and hotel room rates published on dozens of online airline, hotel and travel agency websites, and are updated periodically. If you’d like your ticket out of here, it may be a good idea to move fast as prices and availability do change every minute. Check out our CNY tool here

We the nerds actively push ourselves to be on the cutting-edge of current technological happenings. So it was no surprise that when CouchDB appeared on our radar, we jumped at the opportunity to try it out. A flat document-based model for data storage seemed like a good fit for some of our products.
And although CouchDB has an extremely elegant REST API to store/query/view documents, the Ruby-ists here at Bezurk will baulk at the sight of parentheses and braces. Death before inconvenience.
Enter ActiveCouch
ActiveCouch is an open-source Ruby wrapper for CouchDB developed in-house at Bezurk. In Jobs-ian style, version 0.1.0 is out and it ships…today!
Some of it’s functionalities include: convenience methods for creating and deleting databases from a CouchDB database, a Ruby DSL to create permanent views for a CouchDB database, the ability to query and retrieve CouchDB documents in concise ActiveRecord semantics, the ability to persist and delete documents from a CouchDB database and callbacks which enable you to execute methods at specific points in an ActiveCouch object’s lifetime (for e.g. before/after saving).
Like CouchDB itself, this is beta software, but is a living, breathing organism which is constantly evolving.
