Superbee Honeyworld
10:09 AM on Friday 13 June 2014
We took the time to visit Superbee Honeyworld which was pretty educational for the kids. The take home message is that almost everything that we saw in the Bee movie is wrong. Here are the ones which I can remember: All worker bees are females, males do not really work. There is no such thing as Pol ...

At the airport to Gold Coast

We took a couple of pictures while waiting for boarding. We were wearing the new family T shirt which Pauline got from her trip to Hong Kong. It is the face of an owl and the kids are in red while Pauline and I are in pink and blue respectively.

Renovation

Due to the renovations going on, the site was down for a couple of days. They needed to take away my current table so I had no place for the computers till that spot was cleared. Well it is back online now and that is good. The renovations have been happening for a week and more now. The entire hous ...
East coast park
09:23 AM on Sunday 25 May 2014
The family was at East Coast Park prawning. I am not a prawning person so I walked over to the beach to take some photos. The following is a panorama done by taking 38 images hand held and then stitching it together in Autopano Giga. I must admit that Autopano Giga makes it so simple. The final imag ...
GX7
10:14 AM on Monday 19 May 2014
We got a Panasonic GX7 for Esther as she was very interested in photography. When we were at the Gardens by the Bay, she was full of energy taking photos. The Olympus compact that she was using does not really produce very small images. Using the GX7 brings back memories of the GX1. It handles great ...
