Welcome to the Singapore Zoo

Return Visit to Singapore Zoo

Feb 1, 2011 In Outings . Comments (25)

I have been wanting to revisit the Singapore Zoo for quite some time now. For this trip, I rented the Nikkor 28-300mm VR for a day at an affordable SGD $30 from the Camera Rental Center. My existing lenses did not have that kind of reach.

Workout Schedule Switch

Jan 15, 2011 In Life Scribbles . Comments (4)

A week has passed since I started my new job. Previously, I asked you for your take on when I should schedule my workouts. The poll was closed on Monday and the result has been tabulated. Slightly more voters (2.63% to be exact) preferred to train after work has ended.

Destroying the Viral Wart

Months back, I noticed this rather disgusting looking skin growth on my left sole and up till now it has not shown any signs of recovery. I took it upon myself to get some medical advice and it turned out to be a viral wart.

Giving the Workstation a New Look

Dec 3, 2010 In Life Scribbles . Comments (25)

I have never liked having my things arranged in the same way for too long. It gets boring. My workstation has gotten a new look and suddenly I have gotten a fresh spurt of enthusiasm in doing things (that includes blogging) on the iMac.

Temporary Furry Resident

Dec 1, 2010 In Life Scribbles . Comments (15)

Since last Wednesday, there has been a new resident in the house; a furry one. It is none other than my Dad’s dog. I am not sure of the breed though. The name’s Cookie, and yes he is a male. At times, I do pity him for having such a suggestively feminine name.
