Huawei Watch

Posted on 11 May 201623 Dec 2018   by CY

I’ve had loads of luck with Amazon purchases. Even without the Amazon Prime membership, their free-shipping options to Singapore has made it possible for a lot of items to be bought online and delivered here and costing less than what

Posted on 7 May 201625 Feb 2017   by CY

While waiting for the Huawei Smartwatch to arrive from Amazon here, another item that I ordered got delivered in the interim. A new backpack for work and the upcoming Melbourne trip – the Thule Enroute Blur 2 Daypack and from

LG G Watch R – Kaput

Posted on 4 May 201623 Dec 2018   by CY

I’ve a pretty good track record of using Android devices. None of the probably about a dozen Android tablets and smartphones I’ve used in the about last 7 years have failed in a fashion that I haven’t been able to

Posted on 25 Apr 201625 Feb 2017   by CY

The Meike MK320F for the Fujifilm cameras arrived yesterday. The Chinese company has an online store, and the MK320 Speedlite is also available through places like Lazada. You’d likely going to get it cheaper off eBay though. There are numerous

Melbourne, Jun 2016 – Planning

Posted on 21 Apr 201613 Mar 2018   by CY

The most recent family vacation to Club Med Bintan in December last year turned out to be such a let-down that we’ve sworn off beach resorts for our family holidays for the immediate future. I reckon that the disappointment was

Fujifilm X70 – Part 3

Posted on 17 Apr 201625 Feb 2017   by CY

And some pictures of our kids with the new X70! The camera was configured for shutter speeds of 1/80s and ISO3200 max, and also a mix of program-auto and aperture-priority.

Fujifilm X70 – Part 2

Posted on 15 Apr 20163 Apr 2018   by CY

Early impressions of the Fujifilm X70 after about a week of use! The default color profile coming out of the X70 is subtly different from Olympus m4/3s. Not a scientific test now as I’m not a visual person, but the

Fujifilm X70 – Part 1

Posted on 13 Apr 201625 Feb 2017   by CY

I reckon I’m one of those very lucky hubbies – since I have a wife who chuckles whenever I bring home a new toy! This time round, it’s the Fujifilm X70. The impetus for this new acquisition started 2 months

Aftershock S17 – Part 2

Posted on 24 Mar 201613 Jul 2018   by CY

After another week of pretty intensive use of the new Aftershock S17, my summary takeaway is that it’s a machine that’s for the most-part well-worth – and even some part beyond – the very reasonable price paid for it. The

Aftershock S17 – Part 1

Posted on 14 Mar 201619 Feb 2024   by CY

Getting the Aftershock S17 might seemed like an impulsive decision, but it has really been longer in gestation than just a few weeks. A good part of that lied in that I have been wanting to move my main location

Notebooks through the ages (2016 edition!)

Posted on 26 Feb 20169 Mar 2017   by CY

Another four years since my 2012 post on notebooks, and the 2008 before that. Right about time to do another update, since there’s been a whole bunch of machines since that point. Here’s what the table looks like now: Manufacturer

Samsung Gear VR

Posted on 22 Feb 201625 Feb 2017   by CY

I’ve mostly stayed clear of virtual reality headgear, on account that the few I’ve tried in the last couple of years have invariably induced massive bouts of vertigo within minutes. I’ve also found these head mounted gadgets massively discomforting, to
