Macro lens aperture
07:45 AM on Thursday 22 August 2024
I really like macro photography as they reveal a world which is not obvious. As the depth of field is very limited in this situation, small apertures are a good thing.

Door lock issues
11:18 AM on Saturday 10 August 2024
So the digital lock from Bosch has been acting up. It was very non-responsive, requiring several presses to get the door to open which was quite irritating. Called the seller and they said to change the batteries to Panasonic EVOLTA which were very expensive. However even after the change, it was no ...

06:50 PM on Friday 12 July 2024
We have been going to this really good North Indian restaurant at Raffles City called Shahi Maharani for a good number of years now. This evening we brought Grace and Mayling. As usual, the food does not disappoint.
Jason Leong
07:43 PM on Friday 05 July 2024
Pauline is a big fan of Jason Leong the comedian. We have been to his shows in Singapore quite a number of times but this tie, she gathered her teacher friends along. And the funny thing is that they had an issue with their printer and printed A3 sized tickets. The ushers and we were so amused by th ...
