So I did it again, as it has always been with Apple products. I just cannot resist the temptation to pull the trigger and make the upgrade, despite not needing the upgrade. Defying all logic, I opened the Apple Store app on my iPhone on a fine Friday morning, while sipping my coffee, just before... Continue Reading →
Today, right on time at 9pm, YouTube started popping out initial reviews of the brand new 12.9 inch iPad Pro with Mini LED display. Right on time, reviewers like iJustine, Matti Haapoja, Justin Tse, Dave 2D, and DailyTekk, just to name a few came out with videos showcasing the unboxing and initial impression of the...

I am not a sneaker head. But when I saw this pair of shoes being advertised by JDSports, I just had to get it. In my opinion, it is one of the best collaborations between Marvel and Stan Smith Adidas. And what better way than to sell a pair of shoes in the sustainable spirit... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I went to Courts to ‘look see look see’ when I stumbled upon the latest soundbar from Harman Kardon, the Citation Multibeam 700. Previously I tested (in-store) a similar but older model from Harman Kardon, the Harman Kardon Citation Bar. It’s a longer soundbar that also sounded impressive while I was testing it. It...

It was tempting at first. The temptation was always there, right up to the last minute when the orders were open at 8PM. But I resisted the temptation. As much as I would like to experience the dazzling XDR display that Apple advertised in their 12.9 inch iPad Pro lineup this year, for some reason,... Continue Reading →
So I had a look at the bag above in one of the LV stores several weekends ago, and after seeing it in person, feeling the leather and checking out the amount of space in the bag, I have concluded that it was not worth it. They didn’t have the tri-color version as you see... Continue Reading →
Almost every season, Apple will release a number of new watch strap colours. It can be the solo loop, the sports band, the leather band or the sports loop. I have a small and growing collection of watch straps ever since I bought my first Apple Watch (series 3) back in 2017. Anytime a new... Continue Reading →
To buy or not to buy? That is the question. I enjoy using my current 2020 iPad Pro. I paired with the Smart Keyboard Folio, so that it not only protects the iPad Pro but also gives me a dedicated keyboard for me to write stuff. In fact, all my blog posts are written on... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was Apple’s first product announcement of 2021. It was hotly anticipated to announce a slew of new products such as the Apple TV, new iPad Pros with better display (possibly mini-LED) and a newly designed iMac. Apple mostly delivered. With the except of the lack of an iPad Mini announcement, just about every rumour... Continue Reading →
I have been using Razer’s 60% keyboard, the Huntsman Mini for about 6 months now. I used it for both work and play and I am officially convinced that the money spent on this rather pricey keyboard is worth every dollar. Everything from the build, overall weight, stability, to the quality of the keycaps is... Continue Reading →
A article from The Verge, reported that supplies of GPU will outstrip demand throughout 2021. Yikes! The constraint supply is not only affecting GPU makers, but most other industries that rely on chip making. This can be anything from desktop CPUs, mobile CPUs, and chips needed for wireless communication and even modern cars. These chip... Continue Reading →
It has been almost a year since I bought my leather Dunhill backpack. I have been using it for work on most occasions that remarkably, the back still hold up really well in terms of shape. Despite being all leather, the bag still looks almost like new with no visible blemishes on the surfaces of... Continue Reading →
I started out as a research officer at ASTAR in 2014. It was my first job after graduating from university. Fast forward six years today and I am still in the same job. I would never have imagined that I would stick to the same job, working alongside colleagues who made work life so much... Continue Reading →
Four years ago, in 2017, I dabbled in the mining of cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum. It was a new hobby for me, pairing my love for building computer rigs (which includes mining rigs) and to make some money on a sidelines selling the Ether that I mined from the rig that I built. At the time,... Continue Reading →
It's been a month since I got my hands on an RTX 3080, and I have had the opportunity to test it out on a slew of games, from AC Valhalla, to Control, Cyberpunk 2077 and even Death Stranding. In the past month, I put the GPU through its paces and I must say, that... Continue Reading →
A game that is seven years in the making, plagued with multiple delays throughout 2020, and now with just 4 more days before the official launch of the most hyped game ever to be released in the history of gaming, its none other than Cyberpunk 2077. In a weird way, the delay have been fortuitous... Continue Reading →
I am truly grateful to be able to get my hands on a brand new RTX 3080 GPU. Ever since its official launch more than two months ago, these things are still very rare as demand is still outstripping supply. It is so rare, that people are scalping these things and selling them at way... Continue Reading →
After spending two months hunting for an RTX 3080, I finally found it! Although it wasn’t exactly the brand or model that I am looking for, the Asus TUF RTX 3080 is still a slick looking GPU for any build. Reviews praised the GPU on its industrial looks, premium materials used (such as using a... Continue Reading →
It's now close to half a year since I got my 12.9 inch iPad Pro. I upgraded from my previous 2018, 11 inch model. I have been using it ever since and I have not regretted upgrading to the larger model. I initially thought that the larger model was too big to use. So in... Continue Reading →
So a couple of weeks ago I went to World Farm, somewhere in Yishun, because my mum wanted to buy some indoor plants for the house. As I took photos of the flowers, and the plants, I forgot how amazing the iPhone 11 Pro Max's cameras are. To have such an amazing camera for general... Continue Reading →
