Freedom Trail: Old South Meeting House & Old State House

Posted on 13 Jun 201017 Jun 2010   by CY

Right in front of Borders was a small plaza area with status (below). I’ll need to find out what they are, but the two statues seemed to depict a happy family on the left hand side, and another suffering family

Beacon Hill

Posted on 13 Jun 201017 Jun 2010   by CY

Just so that one doesn’t get the wrong idea that all the blog posts here that I’m in Boston for fun and sightseeing, I better mention again that I’m really here for work and my project with MIT! However, professionalism

Cambridge and Abouts – Part 1

Posted on 12 Jun 2010   by CY

The home I’m putting up is in Cambridge, a college town that’s dominated by Harvard University, MIT and other college campuses. The home is an about 8 minute walk to the subway station (which itself is 4 stops away from

Bed and Breakfast @ Cambridge

Posted on 11 Jun 2010   by CY

Ling’s especially interested in the place I’m staying at. It’s a homestay Bed & Breakfast in a three storey house: two guestrooms on the top floor, with the family staying in the lower two. I was picked up by my

Singapore to Boston

Posted on 11 Jun 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

While statistics continually show that flying is the safest way to travel, it still remains a mode of transportation where I still can’t say I’m totally at ease with when I’m using it. I can even remember a time when

A 24 Day Journey

Posted on 10 Jun 20103 Apr 2018   by CY

Posting from Changi Airport.:) It’s sort of ironical that my ‘longest’ short-trip isn’t for pleasure but for work. At 24 days away from home, it would had been oodles of fun if the trip had been to say Europe or

MIT, Boston, June – Preparations

Posted on 25 May 201026 May 2010   by CY

Follow-up on my post a month ago.:) Decisions got finalized late last week, and it was quite a rush yesterday to work out all the travel and accommodation arrangements. A good part of it has been in planning for weeks

MIT, Boston, June – Part 1

Posted on 29 Apr 201024 May 2010   by CY

I received news earlier this week that a trip I’d been planning is indeed going ahead. The year-long project is a collaboration between the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and my institution, and it’s being co-investigated by an MIT researcher and

Panasonic HDC-TM700

Posted on 8 Apr 201018 Apr 2010   by CY

Another post about toys.:) I picked up my first HD Camcorder – the Panasonic HDC-SD20 – more than a year ago mostly for Hannah’s coming into our family. I was initially a little reticent about having my home-video processing work

Bag Fetishes

Posted on 5 Apr 20109 Mar 2017   by CY

I’ve posted here about my occasional obsession with camera/notebook bags – which at some level speaks about gender equality; that Ling has her thing about handbags, I’ve got an equivalent thing about camera and notebook bags too.:) Anyway – the

Women Expectations

Posted on 21 Feb 201021 Feb 2010   by CY

There’s no pleasing Ling sometimes. When I showed her my draft itinerary for a possible Japan trip in December to the Kansai region, she gave the sort of look that said it all “But I want to go to Hokkaido,
