I was walking around town yesterday when I saw an event hall selling consumer electronics like headphones, speakers, powerbanks, and sound bars. In particular sound bars from JBL. They were selling at an offer price and I was intrigued by what they had on sale. I came across the entire line of JBL sound bars,... Continue Reading →
Now this is going to be interesting. My upcoming trip to Sydney will be my first solo trip without an itinerary. Yeap, that's right. I did not plan anything for my upcoming trip. The only thing that I planned was my flight, my accommodations, and one outdoor activity that I decided to book in advance... Continue Reading →
I have been using Smugmug to host some of my photographic works over the past few years. The photos that I took from my trusty Olympus OM-D camera were all saved and backed up using the Smugmug file storage services. Now I am disabling the account because I haven't been using the website much. The... Continue Reading →
As part of the room revamp project that I started sometime late last year, one of the final touches being made to my room and my desktop area was to fix the Nanoleaf Aurora panels. I bought the starter kit with 9 panels and an expansion of 3 addtional panels, making it a total of... Continue Reading →
As you know, my room is my sanctuary. I can go to great lengths to decorate my room to my liking. A personal and safe space where I can hang out and be alone. So it is no surprise that I invest quite a bit on a PC desktop set-up, starting with my gaming PC,... Continue Reading →
Every once in a while, Lego releases some truly spectacular sets. Like the Saturn V rocket, for example, that propelled Neil Armstrong, Edwin Aldrin and Michael Collins to the moon. At exactly 1:110 scale, this piece stands at 1 meter in height. It's been a joy building this set. Now, where and how do... Continue Reading →
2017 has been an interesting year. It was the year I started my Master's studies, MSc in Science Communication, the departure of my supervisor at work, my computer rig GPU upgrade to an Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080ti, vacation in Vancouver and Seattle, the first for me on a North American continent, purchase of my first...

Today is my official last day of work, wrapping up 2017. I will be on leave for the entire week after Christmas leading up to the new year, ushering in 2018. There are still so many things I need to do, chief among them is to finalise my final year project so that I can... Continue Reading →
After 4 days of using it, I decided to return my Airpods. This is the first time that I had to return an Apple item because I was unsatisfied with it, and also because the money could be better spent elsewhere. Knowing that the less satisfaction I get using a product, the less often I... Continue Reading →
2 days ago I ordered the Airpods online on the Apple Store. The same day, I collected at the Apple Store Orchard. This tiny little thing has been in high demand for almost a year since its original release. I had the opportunity to collect the Airpods on the same day I ordered it due... Continue Reading →
To photograph the following image as seen above, with all my current Apple products that I own, it costs me S$4624. The 13 inch Macbook Pro (non-Touchbar), the Apple Watch Series 3 Nike Sports Edition (GPS) and my new iPhone X (256GB). I never realise until recently that just these three items would cost me...

After much deliberation, I decided to purchase Applecare+ coverage for my Apple Watch. This is my second time buying Applecare to get enhanced coverage for my Apple products, the first being the Macbook Air many years ago. Applecare+ would provide enhanced coverage for my Apple Watch. Aside from the additional year warranty (total of 2... Continue Reading →
The watch is with me when I run, work, walk, eat, sleep. So how do they perform? Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic. I am extremely pleased with how it performs no matter the situation. I am completely blown away by how much biometric data it records on the watch and to my iPhone. It records a... Continue Reading →
I have bought many Apple products over the years. It is not entirely inaccurate to say that I am a loyal fan of all most things Apple. It started with the iPod touch, then the iPhone 3GS onwards right to the recent iPhone X. All my mobile phone had been Apple iPhone starting with the... Continue Reading →
When Apple announced that they were going to open an official Apple store in Singapore, I was stoked. For years I had been hoping for an official store to make their landing on this tiny island nation. Previously, I visited other Apple store around the world, like those in Hong Kong, and The Netherlands. Those... Continue Reading →
After wearing the watch for 48 hours (not continuously, but I do wear it while I sleep, more on that later) I must say, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It seems that the more I wear it, the more beautiful it looks. I never realised how beautiful the watch is. From the overall design, build quality... Continue Reading →
After a month of intense deliberation, I decided to pull the trigger and buy myself an Apple Watch series 3. This purchase would certainly blow my spending budget for the month. Not to mention the iPhone X that I recently bought a few weeks ago. I silently shudder as I wait for the credit card... Continue Reading →
On my last post, I talked about my initial impressions of using the iPhone X. I talked about the screen, the phone size, the overall build, the famous notch (love it or hate it, it is gonna be there) and the flagship feature, FaceID. Battery Battery life is great. However, I do feel that the... Continue Reading →
The last time I talked about how the purchase of the iPhone X was purely on impulse. It wasn't a planned purchase, especially on something that costs a whopping S$1888 for the 256GB model of the iPhone X. I somehow got lucky that there was an in-store pickup option available when I was just fooling... Continue Reading →
This is an impulse buy. I do not need this phone. My current iPhone 7 plus served me well for the past year and continued to serve me well till today. Last night, I went to the Apple online store and realised that in-store pickups were available. I immediately pounced on the opportunity to... Continue Reading →
