I have been reading a lot about NAS, DAS, cloud backup, cloud storage, RAID options and many many more. But still, I have yet to come up with the most cost effective solution and efficient solution to back up and archive my photos. First, there is always the traditional route of backing up my photos...

I had some time to review my blog and to see what I have written down here. Honestly, it kinda sucks. I haven't been updating much for the past year, and most of my posts are just simply uninspiring. I have never written anything thoughtful or reflective of late and lately I just can't seem... Continue Reading →
The next lens on my mind would be an equivalent focal length of 35mm on a full frame camera. That would roughly translate to about 17mm on a MFT system. There are 2 leading lenses available that I have set my sights on. One is from Olympus and the other, Voigtlander. The Olympus released the M.Zuiko Digital 17mm f1.8... Continue Reading →
It's been a little over a month with my brand new micro four thirds camera from Olympus, the OM-D EM5 Mark II, and so far, I have nothing but praises for this camera. It's an absolute beauty, yet works like a beast. This camera continues to amaze me with all the beautiful photos I have... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, a old but distant friend posted an old class photo taken during our primary school days. I think it was when we were primary 6. It featured everyone in our class including our form teacher whom we all loved and it brought back wonderful memories. For many years now I have been trying to... Continue Reading →
I had food poisoning just 2 days before my most anticipated holiday trip to Korea a month back. I was looking forward to my trip when food poisoning struck me down. Hard. Getting food poisoning in singapore is quite rare. I cannot remember the last time I ate outside and had a bad tummy ache.... Continue Reading →
A couple of days ago, I walked into an Apple store and got a chance to physically look at the iMac with Retina Display. All those first impressions that you read online on how gorgeous the screen looks were 100% accurate. It's that gorgeous and the screen totally sucks you in. You can't tear your... Continue Reading →
I got it as a gift from my recruits while I serving NS. I just completed my studies and I had to serve my remaining 6 weeks of NS when I decided to disrupt 4 years so as not to interfere with my university studies. They were my one and only batch of recruits that... Continue Reading →
It took me 2 hours to collect my phone that I reserved through Singtel. The collection was at the Marina Bay Sands Expo Hall 1, where they set up more than 50 counters for the 15,000 or so customers who managed to reserve a spot for an appointment to collect the phone they have selected...

The preregistration for the new iPhone 6 was up on Singtel's website yesterday. I took the opportunity to register my interest by entering my personal particulars including my email address. The preregistration is similar to past practices of registering your interest in getting Apple's new phone. With your email in their mailing list, you will... Continue Reading →
Last week, I feel ill of a sudden. It came without warning. One day I was feeling relatively fine, the next day, just as I was about to prepare to head to work, I felt feverish, my throat felt sore and painful, and there was general malaise throughout my body. I took panadol and dismissed... Continue Reading →
Hi there, I know it's been a long time since I updated my blog. The truth to the matter is that, in august, I started trying the Day One app as my alternative blogging platform. For 3 weeks or so I tried the app, and there are some really nice features that are just not... Continue Reading →

Buy a custom made gray business pants with matching brown belt. 4. Buy a custom made business shirt. 5. Buy another Playstation 4... Continue Reading →
While you can read any articles on The New York Times for free, you can only do so on a number of articles per month. This restriction is imposed to those who do not subscribe to The New York Times. I recently subscribed to The New York Times digital subscription with smartphone app access. The... Continue Reading →
I have been a National Geographic subscriber for more than a year now. The subscription I am talking about is the digital version of the magazine. It has all the contents of a regular physical magazine, but you read digitally, from your iPad or iPhone. Though you don’t have the physical copy, there are several advantages to subscribing to a digital... Continue Reading →
The other day, I posted about how I would carefully consider any purchases or expenses based on my needs and wants. I also showed a couple of examples how my thought processes went when it comes to deciding whether or not I should buy something based on my needs. I also talked about how I... Continue Reading →
The past couple of days, I decided to apply for a credit card. But I am torn between either getting the UOB One Card or the Citibank Dividend Card. Both are cashback rewards cards, but with slightly different perks. I spent months researching on the pros and cons of owning either of the cards. I... Continue Reading →
I am beginning to realise that the stuff you buy will eventually break, tear, discarded. The fleeting happiness of owning new stuff may feel good, but it is ultimately short lived. I have also come to realise that it feeds this negative feedback loop of wanting to buy even more stuff just keep one happy.... Continue Reading →
Lately there has been a slew of air ticket promotions from various airlines big and small. And lately I have this urge to do something crazy again. And that is to just book a ticket to anywhere, literally anywhere far away as possible from home and just enjoy my holidays there. Now that I am... Continue Reading →
2 weeks ago, I decided to purchase the Nexus 7, 32Gb, 2013 edition from Amazon. This will be my first ever android device that I will use. It took me weeks of research before deciding to get one. I was very hesitant at first, making sure that I am covering my ground and justifying the... Continue Reading →
