With little joggers, runners, rollerbladers and cyclist using the tracks, night cycling at East Coast Park is exhilarating.Truth be told, I have never night cycled at ECP before, and doing it on a weekday slightly past midnight, its pretty exhilarating. With no one to give way to, or slow down or any other human traffic... Continue Reading →

A Dahon Vitesse D7
I have been trying out a few foldable bikes this past 2 weeks or so. From Taiwan made ones, to Birdy, Strida, Bromptoms and so on. But I think I will settle for a Dahon Vitesse D7. Costing around SGD 899, I think this would be a good bike for me to start exploring the... Continue Reading →
Awesome: Fine dining steamboat
Usually a group of my friends would come together and have a bbq or something. But this time round, its slightly different.

This is what I bought at the recent IT Show
A 1TB portable hard drive from Iomega. Price: SGD 119. Pretty good in my opinion. The present 500gb portable hard drive is currently being used as a Time Machine.

A new lens (finally)
I love to take photos. And that would mean that I would need to buy better lens to improve on my photography skills. But they are darn bloody expensive. And without any form of financial returns to my investments which amounts to nothing more than just a harmless little hobby to keep myself entertained, I... Continue Reading →
