Four years ago, in 2017, I dabbled in the mining of cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum.

At the time,... Continue Reading →

I am truly grateful to be able to get my hands on a brand new RTX 3080 GPU.

So a couple of weeks ago I went to World Farm, somewhere in Yishun, because my mum wanted to buy some indoor plants for the house.

I love this album. It has such a chill vibe. And the audio mix is awesome. This album must be heard on a good pair of headphones to truly appreciate how well the audio mix truly is. You can literally hear every instrument being played in all the songs of this album.
On Prime Day, I bought the Razer Hunstman Mini keyboard. It was going for about $160, instead of the usual $189 at retail, so a small discount, enough to push me to the edge and click on the 'buy' button.

At the end of 2019, I made a huge investment in upgrading my camera gear. I bought the brand new Fujifilm X-Pro 3.
