I am truly grateful to be able to get my hands on a brand new RTX 3080 GPU. Ever since its official launch more than two months ago, these things are still very rare as demand is still outstripping supply. It is so rare, that people are scalping these things and selling them at way... Continue Reading →
After spending two months hunting for an RTX 3080, I finally found it! Although it wasn’t exactly the brand or model that I am looking for, the Asus TUF RTX 3080 is still a slick looking GPU for any build.

It's now close to half a year since I got my 12.9 inch iPad Pro. I upgraded from my previous 2018, 11 inch model. I have been using it ever since and I have not regretted upgrading to the larger model. I initially thought that the larger model was too big to use. So in... Continue Reading →
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. As I took photos of the flowers, and the plants, I forgot how amazing the iPhone 11 Pro Max's cameras are. To have such an amazing camera for general... Continue Reading →
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. Honestly I don't really need a new keyboard, since my current one was working mostly... Continue Reading →

At the end of 2019, I made a huge investment in upgrading my camera gear. I bought the brand new Fujifilm X-Pro 3. I was smitten by how it hides the LCD display, forcing you to focus more on taking photos than looking at them after taking your shots. It essentially changes the way you... Continue Reading →
Last week, I felt pain at the back of my throat. It wasn’t the first time in the past month. The pain was quite excruciating, especially when swallowing or eating solid foods. It would persist for a few days, and then it would subside, though not completely gone. After about two weeks or so, the... Continue Reading →
I can’t seem to escape from the allure of upgrading my phone to the latest and greatest that Apple has to offer every single year. Despite the fact that I use my current phone for just under a year in most cases for the past few years, I still have the strong urge to upgrade... Continue Reading →
After close to a month, the new NVIDIA Geforce RTX 3080 is still nowhere to be found. It is as scarce and rare as ever. I have not been successful in getting my hands on one of these things as the demand is just astronomical. I am a little bit disappointed at not being able... Continue Reading →

Prices and relative performance improvements compared to the last generation Turing cards were compared through a series of gameplay demonstrations and bar-charts.

It’s been a month since my family moved in to our new house and I am quickly beginning to get used to it. In fact, I am starting to like living in the new house. It’s a lot more airy than the new house, mainly because we are living on the 13th floor, instead of... Continue Reading →

So back in December, my parents decided to downgrade their HDB flat from a 5-room to a 3-room apartment. It will be smaller but at least the new flat is just five years old. The new flat is a BTO flat down the street where we used to live, so it was not a complete... Continue Reading →
Up at last. It’s a great start. The speakers is perfect for my small room, and the space fits both the turntable and the speakers. I don’t care what purists say about putting the speakers and turntable on the same platform and affecting overall sound quality or causing audio skips due to the thumping music... Continue Reading →
