To promote their upcoming game, they were slashing the price of the original game... Continue Reading →

At the beginning of the year in 2019, I took the plunge to switch my telco from Singtel to Circles Life. I took up their promotion of a $120 credit paid out over 12 months, in which it will be applied to deduct your overall monthly bills. I took the $28 plan with bonus data... Continue Reading →
This self imposed ban on PC upgrades for 2019 is going to be a tough one to uphold. The details on the upcoming AMD Ryzen 3000 series of CPU is still sparse and it is hard to separate fact from rumours. But if rumours are true, we might see a 16 core, 32 thread CPU... Continue Reading →
I achieved my fitness goals for 2018. I got a silver for my IPPT. I exercised regularly, at least 3 times a week.

Last week I pulled the trigger and switched telcos from Singtel to Circles Life. I did this despite having an ongoing contract with Singtel on my current cellphone line.

I am an avid reader but not a voracious one. I suffer from episodes of intense reading sessions followed by absolute disgust for books. I go through these cycles several times in a year.

So previously my family booked a couple of a AirBnB accommodation in New York. It was the most economical option available, considering that hotel stays in New York is crazy expensive.

Last week, just before I was due to fly to Jogjakarta for my holidays, I decided to go to my colleagues house to finalise the accommodation for our Morocco trip in 2019.

The damning report on Facebook by the New York Times, was a fascinating read. I have suspected for a quite a while that Facebook is on a decline.

My only regret was not... Continue Reading →
