Yesterday evening I was at Suntec City, walking around and doing some window shopping when I stumbled upon a video arcade game shop called Cow Play Cow Moo. It is a weird name to name one's arcade game shop. On the other hand, it is also a pretty crafty name to name one's arcade game... Continue Reading →

Yesterday my Macbook Pro arrived. I ordered the laptop 2 days ago, which is just a couple of days after it was officially announced.

GoPro Hero 5 Session. The Next Best Thing to a DSLR or an MFT
Previously, I talked about how it pains me for having to ditch my MFT camera in my upcoming trip to Vancouver. As I am going to do lots of hiking (weather permitting) it is just not practical for me to lug or my camera gear to my hike. So the next best thing to not... Continue Reading →
Pains me to ditch my camera for my upcoming trip
Early on while planning my trip to Vancouver, I made a firm decision to ditch my Olympus camera and all the lenses that I own. I wanted to pack light.

Speaking of memory lane
I have been keeping a journal and writing my thoughts, feelings and experiences throughout all these years. I've never kept a traditional journal where you wrote stuff with a physical journal book. I grew up in an era of the internet and while it was the early years where the noisy , 28.8kpbs modems were... Continue Reading →
I miss school. Alot.
Now that I am officially a student again (graduate student), I eagely look forward to my night classes on mondays and wednesdays every week.
