Nokia sent me the Nokia Lumia 800 a couple weeks ago. And I have only one word to describe it: wow. And that brings me to the end of review. Kthxbye. The Amazing Nokia Lumia 800 (more photos below) I kid. True to Nokia’s roots, the Lumis 800 has excellent built quality. It just feels...

Hello all! It’s been a very long time since my last entry. I keep telling myself to blog but I just can’t find the energy and brain power to research and write good entries after long days at work (which also involves a lot of writing and research). This entry is just a quick update... Read More →Related posts:Hello! It’s been while… The … 
My friends have been intrigued by aura reading lately. One of them found a shop tucked away in a mystical part of Singapore that takes photos of people’s auras for just $5. My aura on Feb 4 (left). My auras on Feb 15 (center and right). I’ve had my aura photographed 3 times so far.... Read More →No related posts. 
Happy 2012, everyone! My new year resolution came early — in November 2011. It’s to treat my body better. I’ve had a terrible track record at taking care of my body. Having bee … 
Singapore’s UOB finally launched its mobile banking app today. I use UOB as my primary credit card, so I’ve been waiting for their mBanking app for a long time. I was able beta test the app a couple days before the launch date, and I have to say it was well worth the wait! UOB... Read More →Related posts:Christmas Cards for You! Blogger Business Cards A …
I attended my first GovCamp last Friday. I couldn’t make it to the keynotes (which I heard where great!) but managed to sit through a few of the breakout sessions. For those of you who’ve not heard about GovCamp, it’s place for people to talk about eGovernment initiatives or how governments can use tech to... Read More →Related posts:Social Media is …
After reading on the recent debates on Occupy Wall Street in the US and watching the parliamentary speeches in Singapore, I’ve gained a new perspective on political divisiveness. I was always under the impression that political division was just a bunch of old farts vs a legion of hippies. Actually, it’s not too far off,... Read More →Related posts:Thoughts …
I just came back from an panel discussion organized by the Creators of Tomorrow. Their aim is to inspire more kids to become engineers. I can’t comment on the profession, since I’m no engineer. But what struck me at the event was the evident disconnect between the speakers and the audience of high school kids.... Read More →Related posts:Resolutions for a …
I recently saw some phenomenal shots from the Fujifilm X100 and it rekindled my passion for photography. Since the X100 is totally out of my budget, I decided to get a prime lens for my Pentax K-x instead. So say hello to Pentax DA 35mm F2.4 AL! Shooting with a prime lens is so much...

I’ve always been an inquisitive child. My bedtime story books were primarily encyclopedias. It’s not out of tiger mother coercion. It was simply the thrill and joy of knowing how the world worked. I loved learning about the stars, the plates beneath the Earth, the times before mankind dominated the world. Into my teens, I... Read More →Related posts:Why I …
I’ve been searching for a cute, chic and affordable camera bag for my DSLR for a long time! Most DSLR bags are too manly, and the stylish ones are out of reach (in terms of cost or a …

(You RSS subscribers need to click into the site to see. ) About the Re-Design This theme is all about serenity, simplicity and balance. I’ve cut out a few redundant pages and removed some unnecessary design elements, so that it’s minimal... Read More → Related …
I talked about sisu a while ago. It’s a Finnish brand of perseverance — the quiet determination that allowed them to withstand the brutality of cold and invasion for centuries. Despite Nokia’s decline in recent years, I’ve secretly been rooting for it, especially when I read Stephen Elop’s burning platform memo. I really wanted to... Read More … 
A couple of weeks ago, one of my very close friends forced me to read Eric Weiner’s Geography of Bliss. I like exploring the realms of philosophy and psychology but I’ve never really taken an interest in happiness. I’ve always believed that happiness had to come naturally — that thinking about it won’t necessarily make... Read More → …
If you’ve got time to spare, you should absolutely watch this video. I highly, highly recommend it but for those of you who don’t have the time, the speaker talks about two main ideas: Progress, be it organizational or societal, can only be made if there’s trust. And trust can only be built by people... Read More → Related posts:Life Lessons Learned …

Just came back from a short trip to a secluded beach in Phuket, Thailand. It was a wonderfully relaxing trip; one I desperately needed to escape from my increasingly over-analytical, anxious mind. While in Singapore, my mind just cannot stop processing. So many anxieties over inconsequential matters. But I think it’s not just me that’s... Read More → Related …
For a while now, I’ve been thinking about my career. Is what I do now, what I want to do for the rest of my life? If look at my skill sets, it does suit me well. I also love the industry I’m in.
