So recently I wrote about how smartphone cameras are getting so good that, as a casual/enthusiast photographer like me, lugging a separate camera and lens during my travels is no longer an attractive option for me.

Road 901. Perhaps the most scenic and beautiful road I have driven in this trip to Iceland. A light winter’s touch topped with a sprinkling of light snow throughout the landscape made this place surreal as if straight out of a fairy tale. Shot on the iPhone 11 Pro Max. In 2016, I went on...

I have always relied on UAG cases to provide the maximum protection for my new iPhone. It's a little bulky, but at least I have peace of mind when using my iPhone when doing outdoorsy stuff like hiking, trekking or just traveling and when I am simply on the go. The Plasma series is my... Continue Reading →

I successfully managed to get the iPhone 11 Pro Max on launch day. And it was a harrowing experience! (Sort of) So what happened was that I missed the pre-order window when the pre-order page was up on the 13th October at the official Apple online store. At that time, I wasn’t thinking about upgrading... Continue Reading →
Yes you read that right. With less than a week to go before the official launch of the new series 5 Apple Watches, I decided to cancel my pre-order from the online store.

Right after the Apple Event announcing a slew of new Apple products yesterday. I pulled the trigger and impulsively bought the new Apple Watch Series 5. It was purely on impulse.

Back in 2016, I bought the Audioengine A5+ powered bookshelf speakers. I love it. It’s punchy with a right amount of bass and size that is perfect for any computer desktop system. Fast forward today, it is starting to show wear and tear. The left speakers are muffled, especially at higher frequencies. The sound output... Continue Reading →
