I haven't been actively updating this blog for several months now. That does not mean that I have completely abandoned it. I am currently going through some major reshuffling in my life. My priorities in life changed since the last update and I am still sorting it out. Rest assured, however, is that it is... Continue Reading →
These sets of photos are long overdue to be showcased here. I almost forgot that in November 2019, I paid a visit to the newly revamped National Gallery and took photos using my trusty Olympus OM-D EM5 Mark II camera. Looking back, these are the last photos taken using that camera before switching to Fujifilm... Continue Reading →
The past week I have re-kindled my love for photography a little bit. Ever since I started dusting off my X-Pro 3 from the dry box and giving it a spin to see if it still works, it reminded me of why I like taking photos. It also cemented the fact that my love for... Continue Reading →
One of the most under-utilised devices I have laying around in my room at this moment is the Fujifilm X-Pro 3 camera. I bought the beautiful, titanium encased camera back in 2019 when it was just launched. I was immediately attracted to the design and build quality of the camera that I was willing to...

With Singapore approaching the tail end of the Circuit Breaker, (amounting to almost two months of lockdown) and economic activity in Singapore gradually thawing, life will never be the same as before. Social distancing and the wearing of face masks in public will be the new normal moving forward, whether you are in a mall,... Continue Reading →
The Singapore Airshow 2020 was the first such airshow that I ever had the chance of attending. The airshow happens once every two years, and the biggest names in the aerospace industry will gather in Singapore along side defence officials representing their home countries. There, they will set up various meetings and make multi-million dollar... Continue Reading →
As you know, Singapore is in a midst of the Coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak with over 70 people infected as of today. While the spread of the virus is not as severe or far reaching as that of China, Singapore has imposed travel limitations to anyone coming to Singapore from China. This has terrible consequences...

I saw a pretty good deal on a second-hand lens on Carousell. someone was selling their year-old prime lens, the 35mm f2.0 lens for S$350. It was a good deal. I was in the market for a second prime lens to be part of my budding Fujifilm line of lenses and to pair it with... Continue Reading →

I meant to post this weeks ago, but it was only recently that I managed to find time and get around to doing it. I went to Changi Jewel for a mini photoshoot with a couple of my friends. They have not been to Changi Jewel and they wanted to take some photos of the... Continue Reading →
On Christmas week, my extended family had a gathering in one of my cousin’s place and I had the opportunity to put my new Fujifilm camera through its paces. Specifically, I wanted to shoot and take pictures of my family members at the gathering using only one particular film simulation. As you know, the new... Continue Reading →
On the 28th of November, during lunchtime, I received a call from my local camera store. He was calling to inform me that the Fujifilm’s latest camera, the X-Pro 3 has finally arrived. I was super excited. I headed down to the store after work, and collected my camera. What a beauty! I got the... Continue Reading →
Two weeks ago, I made the plunge. I paid the deposit and pre-ordered the X-Pro 3. Such a big purchase was not done lightly. As always, I imposed a two-week cooling off period, where I will not think, read or watch anything related to the X-Pro 3 and only revisit that thought after the cooling... Continue Reading →
I have loved photography since I first own a Canon DSLR. Though I am by no means an expert in photography but it has been a consistent hobby of mind. I have never grown tired of photography. And my love of travel simply magnifies my love of the art of photography. Recently I have researched... Continue Reading →
So two days ago I took a gamble and invested S$150 off Carousell to buy a new pancake lens, the Olympus 14-42mm F3.5-5.6. Its part of a kit lens in some of the Olympus camera systems. Being a pancake lens, this is, according to Olympus, their slimmest zoom lens they have ever made. Olympus’s slimmest... Continue Reading →
