Night photography
A couple of colleagues and several Software Engineering students of mine headed out yesterday evening to take night shots of downtown. It was a fun and small event, though not much variety: it turned out to be a Nikonian gathering!
Breathing new life
I’ve blogged here a few times now about a classical music subscription service I’m on. It shouldn’t be easy figuring out which pieces you’d like to listen or buy. You’ve got many tens if not hundreds of thousands of compositions
Tot Naming Part II
Part II of baby naming, and a continuation from Part I I blogged last month. Here are the names going from F to N. F – Didn’t choose any names from this alphabetical character, since it wouldn’t have gone very
Tang Yuan Soup
There’s a Chinese saying that goes: you(3) yang(4) xue(2) yang(4). Translated to English, it means ‘monkey see monkey do’. That was what happened to me when I read Ann’s blog about her craving for round dumplings made of glutinous rice
Korea Strawberries in Season Now!

Ling took a cue from Ann the other day and blogged about her learning how to drive and also a bunch of driving tips too. So here’s my turn on it. I haven’t done too much checking around, but I’m
Seasonal Fruits
One new mindset which I have adopted whenever I go marketing is to buy fruits when they are in season. Fruits simply taste better and are cheaper in season. Take for example, blueberries. When in season, you can get 2 punnets for
Bystanders
I was driving home along Hougang avenue 7 one day and this little commotion on the road divider caught my attention as I was waiting at a traffic light junction. It was a cluster of mynahs (members of the starling family)
Platform Gaming
One of the biggest regrets I’ve got about playing computer games is my inability to handle most first-person perspective games. No, it’s not that I’m not quick on the trigger (mouse) in those things. Rather, it’s that I am especially
On the 37th (birth) day…
… here’s what Ling bought me: A new coffee mug which I can put photo inserts into. The current one I’d been using for several months now had some water seepage, ruining the inserts. This was a very welcomed replacement!
