New Shoe

Today, I bought a new shoe. A Timberland Chukka Earthkeepers. simple, nice and most of all, comfortable.


Piror to getting that, I was at Aldo looking at the boots they offer and found a really nice one. It's nice to me la... and I tried and I like it a lot, but they do not have brown for size 43. If only my feet size is smaller by a size, I will just get it straight away.

My life is almost back to normal

After few days of "indulging" on the doctor's medicine that caused me to so drowsy and nauseous, I am relived that they are non left. Sometimes, I felt a bit uneasy when I cannot get to sleep as easy when I was taking the medicine. But it is better than having to feel so uncomfortable everyday.

My flu and sore throat is still persistently staying with me and they doesn't seems to bare to leave me. Been eating chinese pi pa gou since I finished my western meds.
Meanwhile, I am looking for a USB fan. I saw a very good and power USB fan at the PC Show last week but it was not on sale. Looks something like this:


I found it in 2 websites. One from its own GreenHouse website and anotherfrom a local online shop. It is crazily expensive. Another one that is metallic which looks really nice found here.

If I can get it cheap in Singapore I will grab one. If not, I will grab one when I visit Shanghai in September.

Getting sick again

Singapore's weather is horrible. One moment, it was very windy and dark clouds covered the sky, showing signs of rain approaching. But the next moment, it was sunny and hot. I think the strong wind blew it away.

I woke up today with a mild sore throat. I promptly had Pi Pa Gao in the morning, before lunch, and after lunch. Not only it did not work, the itchiness seems to be getting worst. The sore throat even cause me to have a mild headache.

I don't get sick so often in Tassie. But when I am back in Singapore, falling sick seems to be an almost weekly affair. I miss Tassie.

Sony Alpha Nex-3 and Nex-5

Sony came out with its prototype launch few months back and the design was slammed.

The design was some what looks cheap, but of course, they had already said that is is a prototype.

Then, just a few weeks ago, Sony announced the preproduction models of the nex-3 and nex-5 (below with thicker grip but smaller body).


Reviews by friends and members from forums said that it is as good as the α550 and possibly even better. Being a user of α900, the nex-5 is a camera that I will want as a compact yet able to produce DSLR resolutions images. No it is not micro 4/3. This small beast packs a APS-C size sensor.

HSBC Treetop walk @ MacRitchie

It was quite a disappointment that pets aren't allowed in parks. Probably they are right about the introduction of domestic animals that will disturb/confuse the wildlife. Anyway, there are many restricted places in Singapore that do not allow pets. I wonder if Singapore is a good place to keep pets, i.e. dogs. I think there are still lots of restriction here. Even pets are not allowed around outdoor eating area.

We had to put Trio, Laney's dog, in the car while we, together with Laney's ex-classmate, made our way to HSBC Treetop walk. A very long journey in and It wasn't as fantastic as I thought it would be. The one way regulation was one of the let down. Anyway, good exercise and a healthy walk.

This image is not suppose to be B&W but somehow it turned out that way.

Ubin Trip

The last time I went Ubin was in early 2008. There isn't much changes on the island, which is great. This time, I went with Lixia and Laney. That's the way it should be. It was fun to cycle around, enjoying the wind 'gusting' onto my face. Our trip was cut short due to the rain. But it's okay! I had lots of fun and there will be next time.

Zoomscape

Finally I bought this book last week. Hardly any bookstore sells this book, even on-line.



I think I will bring along to read it in the train during my journey to work. I have been wanting to get this book since last year.

Changing blog template, again...

I decided to change my blog template... The previous template seems to be a bit crappy after sometime. Looks refreshing initially but it doesn't have the timeless quality I am looking for. Therefore, I recreated my blog and came out with some personal touch in this template. I hope it works wells, at least it does now.

Thanks for viewing

Losing people who I loved

There are a lot of changes in my life again. I lost my father 2 mths ago during CNY. It has been hard for me and I to think everything is my fault to have them happened. I have too many regrets. I wished I can turn back time.
