Apart from just doing sound, I have discovered another interest of mine. This ‘job’ requires a whole new skillset, set of ideas and thinking. Mixing a live band requires good ears and some experience, designing a stage lighting setup requires creativity and an eye for detail. The workflow and SOPs for operating a sound board [...]

Just got back from a 1411km drive to and from Malaysia for a family (grad) trip. And it was wonderful. More details about the trip to Malaysia another time. Now, about the trusty workhorse that brought us safely back to Singapore after a long long drive up north (and it has been serving us well [...]

Look very closely. No, it’s not a hotel reception with a Peranakan theme. This picture was taken at GV’s new theatre which opened at 112 Katong in December last year. Thanks to my good-ol’ friends who gave me a pair of tickets (36 to 38 bucks per pax) for my birthday, I was able to [...]

This is Joan Bowen restaurant/ cafe, situated along Jalan Wangi near the old Mazda showroom. Right up to about [...]

Ever since I bought the iPad 2, I have never been able to find a reasonably-priced cover that can duplicate the functions of Apple’s Smart Cover. Most of the leather cases I see, touch and use were either too cheap-looking or lacking in built quality. Nothing could beat Apple’s Smart Cover in my opinion. An [...]

My first-ever laptop decal from Good Golly Graphics arrived in my mailbox today, a mere 8 days after finalising payment over at Etsy. It came in without any creases as there was sufficient hard cardboard inside to protect the valuables within. By the way, if you want the camera on the left, please let me know [...]
