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.

After using my Lenovo ThinkPad 13 for 7 months, I decided to sell it away. I came back to the Mac. When it was announced at this year's WWDC that Apple is going to refresh the entire Macbook Pro line with the new Kaby Lake processors, I just could not resist it. I put my... Continue Reading →
I've told myself time and time again that I would do a short write up on my experience of my recent solo trip to Vancouver and Seattle.

It is an open event, where anyone who visited the Science Center on that day were free... Continue Reading →

It's been a while. I have been very busy so far in life. Aside from work, I have school and loads of assignments that just never ends.
