With a circuit breaker lasting two months and a gradual lifting of circuit breaker measures, life will not immediately go back to normal.

In the last few weeks, I have grown increasingly fond of the characters from Money Heist. Spain’s groundbreaking, intentionally renown Netflix series, spanning four seasons, is approaching it’s end. At least for me. I have been following the show, slowly but surely. I tried not to binge watch the series, for I know I will... Continue Reading →
Recently, I bought the new 12.9 inch iPad Pro together with the smart folio keyboard. In the midst of a circuit breaker, the iPad Pro quickly became an indispensable gadget that I use daily, providing me with not just hours of entertainment, but great multitasking ability to do my work that much more efficiently. I... Continue Reading →
With the world in lockdown due to the Coronavirus, and Singapore in the middle of a ‘circuit breaker’ discouraging anyone from socialising outside, it is no wonder that the gaming industry is having a renaissance.

Midway through the circuit breaker, and I have encountered a Netflix gem. I knew this show would be groundbreaking, but I just never had the time to start watching it, until recently.

Right now, I am staying in a serviced apartment in River Valley while waiting for my new apartment to finish renovations. In fact, renovation hasn’t started yet and will not start until the circuit breaker is lifted in the beginning of June. Which means that I will temporarily be staying in the serviced apartment for...

This might sound sudden but last week, I bought the new iPad Pro 12.9 inch, space grey, 256GB model. And today, it arrived at my doorstep. With the whole lockdown and circuit breaker measures currently in place (and for the foreseeable future as the measures are slowly lifted over a period of time) I am... Continue Reading →
It’s been close to 4 months now since Covid-19 exploded all around the world. I first heard of the virus infecting people in China sometime before Chinese New Year, back in January. But just a few months before that in 2019, my family just went on a trip to Iceland in October, Morocco with my... Continue Reading →
First thing I notice about the Apple’s trackpad: It’s huge! When it was announced that Apple is going to update iPad OS to feature trackpad and mouse support, I was pretty excited. A new, but familiar way of interacting with our iPads will certainly be a game changer. Most importantly, if implemented well, it will... Continue Reading →

I have read the reviews. I have watched the unboxing videos. I have watched all the first impressions of the device. And almost everyone said that the new Magic Keyboard for the iPad Pro is one solid (and heavy) accessory that gives a superior typing and trackpad experience for iPad Pro users. It is really...

With the month-long lockdown in place in Singapore, the schedule to renovate our new house has gone off the rails. We were originally slated to move into our new apartment by the end of April. However, the lockdown will only be lifted on the 4th of May. During the month-long lockdown, no renovations can be... Continue Reading →
So the other day, I did a small mention in my earlier post that with the Covid-19 pandemic and the ‘circuit breaker’ measures in place (also known as a lockdown) I bought a Lego Technic set online. It arrived a few days later and soon afterwards I started building the set. This 2573-piece set is... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, sometime in the middle of the month-long circuit breaker in a midst of a global pandemic, (or lockdown, depending on how you define it), my friend and I completed the entire story campaign of Borderlands 3 from start to finish. It took us 44 hours to complete the entire campaign. I bought the game... Continue Reading →
Should I order? It’s very tempting, especially when they included the trackpad into one near little package with backlit keyboard an a generous 1mm key travel just for the iPad. And the cantilever that floats your iPad pro makes any fans of minimalistic desktop set-ups drool. But it is so expensive. I will most likely... Continue Reading →

I am a sci-fi buff. I had my fair share of sci-fi novels that I have read throughout the years, like Isaac Asimov’s Foundation Series, or Orson Scott Card’s Enders Game series. Recently, my all time favourite, Liu Caixin’s epic trilogy, Remembrance of Earth’s Past series and James S.A. Corey’s The Expanse novels. But strangely,... Continue Reading →
