Reflections of parents of not-so-young-kids-anymore
Continued from the last post – my early handling notes and first impressions of the new E-PL9! The normal retail price of the E-PL9 with the EZ14-42mm kit lens is SGD998, but it’s also just recently seen a significant price
One of my favorite set-ups for the m4/3 system has been the Olympus E-PL6 and 17mm f1.8 body and lens combo, and I’ve blogged several times now about how incredible the all-round package is in when taking photos of our
A follow-up to a post from January this year when I wrote about a lightweight sling bag I’d picked up for general purpose use! The Billingham Hadley Pro and Sirui MyStory 13 has taken turns out of the country now
The DJI Osmo Pocket came on its first major outing during my 11 day trip to Japan, and I recorded approximately 100GB of 4K 60fps video – 112 videos in all – using it. The Pocket performed perfectly. Well, almost,
Continued from my last post, and more random non-connected thoughts and casual observations I had this trip. There were two serious accidents involving Personal Mobility Devices (PMDs) back home in Singapore while I was away, both resulting in fatalities. In
I’ve got quite a few notes to jot down here, so my post-trip Reflections will span two posts. I did two trips to Japan previously in 2009 and 2010, blogged here and here. The first visit was also work-related where

Unlike our upcoming 15 day family trip to Japan at year’s end, planning for the non-work segment of this 11 day trip was straightforward. I was free of the usual constraints when traveling with young children, e.g. their meals, places
Excepting the conference banquet, the extent of my dining this 11 day trip was all casual, and centred on just a few cuisine types: tonkatsu, beef bowls, and ramen. Ramen across the restaurants I tried were all at least minimally
My itinerary – both the work and leisure segments – were centered over three cities: Fukuoka, Tokuyama, and Hiroshima. I was interested to try staying in different hotels as much as possible, so intentionally chose a different hotel even though
Yanagawa and Dazaifu really felt like two places from completely different eras: the former is truly laid back and with the quiet, everyone-knows-each-other, small-town feel. Dazaifu on the other hand felt like the typical scenic tourist spot. To be fair
Unlike Dazaifu, the other interesting bits of Yanagawa town aside from the river boat punting tour are spread out. The small town didn’t feel crowded at all, compared to the crowd masses in Dazaifu later in the afternoon. It’s an
