Before I came to Singapore, I thought electronic stuff are cheaper in Japan. Surprisingly, after visiting some electronics stores here in Singapore, I was proven wrong. Famous LCD TV brands are often sold at half the original price that it is so tempting to indulge in one. That is why many […]

A few weeks ago, our team leader approached a teammate and me and asked what physical “features” of a work laptop we prefer. I tried using one of the company’s 12-inch notebooks. It was very light but it gave me a headache because of the small screen. So I said I prefer […]

The photos I post here are mostly taken using my mobile phone, some I got from friends. I still love my mobile phone when I was still in Japan but I could no longer use it even its camera, because I need to buy a transformer to be able to charge it! The […]

Three years have already passed since my manager in the previous company offered us a laptop computer, payable in 3 installments, interest-free. She (my laptop) is Dell Inspiron 1300. Although I have heard bad comments about her, I had no choice because she was the cheapest option. I was told her lifespan […]

I don’t want to expose Shaynna to kid-unfriendly TV shows and computer games. But I guess she also needs to be exposed to such things. I am just so glad that she has learned self-discipline on her own.
I visited XBox website and found some family-friendly games like Ice Age! I still have […]

My parents had a wireless broadband connection installed at home more than two years ago. Because of that, I was able to cut back on my long distance call expenses. At least I get to hear them almost daily. They could also see me through my web camera if I am […]

I couldn’t have survived my now two and a half years of stay here in Japan without my most faithful companion: my good ol’ Dell.
When I first stepped into my current apartment, only the necessary appliances were provided. I was glad that the company provided a small TV, but there’s nothing else to choose […]
Am I really getting old?
Posted on January 28, 2009 - Filed Under Gadgets | 6 Comments
The first video game console that I’ve ever played with was an Atari ST. I can still remember the petty fights with my younger brother due to game preferences. Then our parents bought us a Nintendo Family Computer. As expected, my brother was superior and I always end up as an underdog. So he […]

The phone that I got when I arrived here two years ago is already outdated. It is not even a 3G phone, not blue-tooth capable, and could support only up to 500MB mini SD card. It may have a 3.2 megapixels camera but with its memory capability, I can’t put in music, videos, […]

It was around the year 1997 when my father (Papa) brought home our family’s first computer. It was just an Intel 486 and the hard disk was just about 2GB. Installing an application would take about 30 minutes! But I was more than happy at that time because Papa also brought home […]

I took up Computer Engineering in college, so we had a few electronics and communication courses. Trying to make those circuits work was really fun but I hated calculating frequencies, resistances, capacities, etc. Why am I talking about this now? My cousin happened to ask me about Cat5e Keystone jack […]

MP3 players - Almost everyone has an MP3 player and I’ve been wanting one since I arrived here. I badly needed one especially when I was working in Kobe. The 4-hour travel to and from work was so boring. But I have priorities so I was just contented visiting the […]

I was very depressed so I gave my self a treat … a hair makeover!
And it cost me 20,000 yen! He he… I wish! I really had a good laugh trying out different hairstyles and as I have suspected, I look hideous in lighter hair color.
Just for fun, you could try playing with your favorite […]
