When games on Steam go on sale, they really do go on sale. I'm talking about prices of video games, some of them new and recent, others, critically acclaimed classics slashed to as much as 90% off! Like recently, Steam held a Warner Brothers games division sale, slashing titles from the Lego and Batman franchise... Continue Reading →
Almost a year ago I bought an iPad mini 4. I was excited when it came out. I bought the gold, 128 gb model and I used it primarily to read books and magazines while on my long daily commute. It served me well. It's a great reading companion while in the subway to and... Continue Reading →
It's been 2 years since my last handset upgrade. I must be one of the lucky ones to secure the initial batch of iphone 7 plus. Successfully managed to preregister my interest in getting one from SingTel, and then securing my reservation and collection slot a few days later. The iphone 7 plus is sold... Continue Reading →
So now that I have my gaming rig set up and running, you may not realise that I am actually playing on a 42 inch full HD LCD TV. I have a couch in the room, in addition to the TV. I used the TV to play games on the PS4. Consoles and TVs go... Continue Reading →
There has to be games installed after building my first PC rig. What better way to show off the rig in terms of raw computing performance than playing some graphically demanding games? As soon as I set my PC up, I got started installing and buying a few games that might not only interest me,... Continue Reading →
It's been about a week or so of using my new DIY PC and I am loving it to death! Months of research, and lots of patience really paid off. I am very proud of my work. There were several false starts of getting my rig up impulsively, without thinking it through properly. I would... Continue Reading →
Some of you may find it hard to believe, but being able to build my own PC rig from scratch based on the parts and components that I chose happened to be in my bucket list. I suppose building a PC is like art. It requires patience, and lots of research, slowly building your knowledge base. The greatest satisfaction comes... Continue Reading →
Building it was more difficult than I expected. Coming from someone who is building an entirely new PC from scratch for the first time, it was quite a challenge. Fortunately I did my homework and all those hours spent watching YouTube videos and reading up on all the technical aspects of the parts that I... Continue Reading →
Over the past few days, after months of research I have finally finalised by PC build. This would be my first time building a PC from scratch after more than 10 years. I have a lot to learn since then. Technology moves so fast and so much within that span of time. The DIY and... Continue Reading →
I am at a tipping point where I am very close to buying all the parts needed to build my very own DIY PC. I think I can safely say that the tipping point for that decision came about when I impulsively bought 2 EVGA GTX 1070 SC Gaming ACX 3.0 GPU at a relatively competitive price... Continue Reading →
For months, I have been agonising over whether to get a DIY PC. I have spent hours upon hours researching on the various parts and relearning all that I knew about CPUs, PSUs, and all the latest technological advancements in the world of graphics cards and motherboards. It was an uphill climb. The last time... Continue Reading →
Last week I successfully convinced my dad to get a new TV in the living room. We were in the process of doing some spring cleaning for the upcoming Hari Raya. We were trying to tidy the living room space, especially the TV console, where the wires all around were beginning to be an eyesore. At the same... Continue Reading →
There is only one thing that I am interested in. New MacBook Pros! I have a feeling that they will not reveal any hardware this year at WWDC. Rumours on new MacBook Pros have been sparse lately, except for the fact that it might come out with a snazzy little OLED panel display at the top... Continue Reading →
Toying with the whole notion of "what if's", what if, I am rich, not terribly rich, but rich enough to spare thousands of dollars on a luxury watch? What kind of watch would I get? I love my Tissot Visodate which was featured on my blog a few days ago. I bought at around SGD... Continue Reading →
I don't usually write profiles of actors or actresses on my blog and it might be the first of many to come. First up, I want to talk about Vera Farmiga. Vera Farmiga is currently starring as Norman Louise Bates in Bates Motel. Now in its fourth season, the story is actually a prequel... Continue Reading →
So Ramadan is upon us. And that means I have to fast. I am not a particularly religious person and it is not unusual for me to not fast the full 30 days that is required during Ramadan. But I try my best. It's been a couple of years since I started working full time.... Continue Reading →
After publishing my post about the PC Show. I received a notification from WordPress that it was my 1000th post. 1000th! Never would I have imagined reaching that milestone. All those years of blogging on and off throughout my life (15 years worth of blogs) have finally reached this point. 1000th post. Wow. Just wow.... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I went to the PC show. It was crowded, but not overly so. Surprisingly, it was walkable and I rarely had to squeeze among the throng of crowds. Held in Expo halls 5 and 6, I was impressed by the M1 booth. It was huge. I cannot remember the last time the M1 was... Continue Reading →
1Gbps. That's the speed I am getting from MyRepublic. This would be the first time trying out MyRepublic Broadband services, after being on the Singtel camp for close to 10 years. It's that time of the year where I am eligible to re-contract my broadband services and that means time to shop around for the... Continue Reading →
The first mechanical watch I ever owned. The Tissot Visodate. I had it for close to three months now and I love it to death. It barely leaves my wrist during waking hours and I can stare at it for a long time, mesmerised by the smooth, sweeping mechanism of the second hand as it... Continue Reading →
