[Random] Toys for year end

It has been a while (again) that I paid some update on this blog while letting some of my adventures to langkawi/krabi/taiwan pictures collecting dust. But it must have been a very looong vacation for me since my trip back from Singapore.

Update 14/01/10: It appears that the speakers sucks as usual, much worse than first generation of iPhone. I know that iPod is meant to be used with earphones, but that does not warrant them to use such a terrible speaker that you can barely hear between I and Hi. Wtf.

Besides that, it works like charm, only not able to send SMS, do video recording and compass. Anymore?
Got this few days ago from Machines, The Gardens, Midvalley.

And if you watch Kamen Rider DCD, you might instantly recognize the trademark pink camera. Better known as BlackbirdFly. The holga flash and the 3-frame Actionsampler is all bought from Orchard Central, Singapore during Christmas. The guy in the shop quoted normal BBF at 180SGD while this one is around 220 (if I remembered correctly).

Happy new year1

[Life] An agency’s life

It has been a while since there is a change in my life in terms of career opportunity, but I had been offered a place in an interesting agency. The time’s not long due to I’ve decided to make a tough decision and start things on my own after 2 months of my service there. It’s a short time but fun.

The usual joint that I’ll stay before board the bus to Singapore every Sunday night. Look at OdysseyNow. Good and honest service.

This grumpy cat stays near my residence in Singapore.

[Rant] Looking towards a new direction

It could just have been more than half a year I have not been blogging officially on my life except bit and pieces on some interesting thing I have found. Been working as a designer in Singapore for the past 2 year, a lot of thing has grown to me, in all aspects. And there’s a period of time I felt strongly that I have to move on and look for something that I believe and meant to do in the beginning but just because limited by resources.

Pictures below are taken somewhere around the last month of me in Yolk. It’s good time.

[Rant] May Flu Bless You

It must have been a while since there is a proper update on what is happening around my life in the past month. I hate it during this period of time so much, but it’s something that we will have to go through, some seasonal flu shit, in a more larger scale nowadays. The month of May has been a crazy one with so many sleepless nights and people around getting infected with the “seasoned” flu, and people getting paranoid over a lot of things.

Well one of the highlight would be my frustration over my macbook’s keyboard are finally curbed with this below. I know it does come with a hefty price tag for a keyboard, but it’s either i fork 500 ringgit for the replacement on the top cover (i didn’t buy ACPP, damn) or vice versa) 

It’s actually pretty well built, and I think most of the newer iMac owners would appreciate this old fine keyboard. 

Would take a bit of  getting used to that some of the function keys are repositioned. But my overall impression on this keyboard, is really good. The build’s pretty solid, the keys felt snappy and you can type pretty fast on it, just probably the most common question would arise from everyone’s mouth after a while, how would you clean it?

And no, I didn’t buy the album, in fact, I won it, (or precisely, “we”, my girlfriend and I were walking down the Orchard Road after dinner in Singapore) from some street event by a local radio station here. Just some random Q&A and got it

I still think they’re pretty… experimental to me.

Hot hot heat!
It’s undeniably also a freaking hot month to come for us. And reported on the news that the temperature might go up by few degrees more. Some of the capture taken along the balcony at my workplace. I hope you’ll be able to feel the heat from the heavy shadow casted on the floor. Yes, it’s that hot.

[Random] People actually search this?

I’m wondering how many of you guys actually does these.
