Dad bought me a lovely Canon 400D body for my birthday recently (Thanks, Pa!).
I’ve been shooting quite randomly - at plates of sushi, ceiling lamps, people, friends. I really like it. It’s a lot more 21st century than the Nikon FM that I loaned from my dad years ago.
I’m [...]

I must thank my wife for organizing and paying for a weekend trip up to Genting Highlands. Even though we didn’t play the rides and gamble our life savings away, we still had a lot of fun.
It was dearly misty up there, and she seemed to like that [...]

I am a product of lifelong learning. Perhaps I’m addicted to it. I find it hard to sit through 20 Simpsons episides all at once, but I can spend hours trailing through Wikipedia articles.
Recently I’ve been depressed over a lot of things - [...]

His Royal Highness, The Duke of York, Prince Andrew graced us with his presence at our office a day before Independence Day. We were told many things regarding protocol, since we didn’t want to look like fools in front of a member of the royal family (especially not one [...]

LL and I were in Ipoh today for a friend’s wedding. We arrived really late last night and checked into the Heritage hotel, which has not been updated since the 80s, and attended Geekchic’s morning wedding service.
I have to say the service was FAST. I believe we got over it in 1 hour. There was [...]

Sunset walk…

I am soon approaching 30. My life is becoming more and more dependent on tiny little decisions which I make every single minute of my waking life. As I begin to think about the future, the onset of a potential decision making moment swims around and endless cosmos of [...]

I had a few young people over the apartment tonight, for a farewell gathering of one of our youth group members who will be furthering his studies in Michigan soon.
I like opening up my apartment to this group of people, particularly because our home is an extension of [...]

I’ve recently got myself a Remember The Milk account. It’s a web service that allows you to keep track of your tasks, and for the most part it does the job really well. It sends me email reminders, integrates with Google Calendar, and a host of other things.
The problem [...]
