New Google Chrome Logo

I wonder why Google changed its Chrome browser logo from the 3D one (above) to the flattened one (below). Today, 3D thingy is the "in" thing.

Which do you prefer? 

Lotus Roots

The lotus root is an interestingly designed plant showing the creativity of our Creator! We're having black bean lotus root soup!

Broken Clock

After 7 years, our cheap clock started to disintegrate. The clock face started to crack and peel off. But the mechanism is still working fine. 

Broken Glasses

Few days ago my glasses broken. It was the second time the frame broken. I think it was due to corrosion due to my sweat. The new one I got is made of titanium. Should be more weather proof. :)

iPhone 5

iPhone 5 has a large 14-inch screen that is bigger than music score book! 

Potato - Day 8

The shoots are growing fast. See the day 1 photo here.

Easter Sunday

Our first time buying a Kinder Joy chocolate egg.

 Opening...

Half of the egg container is for the chocolate and the other half is the mystery toy.

Yummy chocolate balls.

This is the mystery toy inside.

Vanish stain remover - 2nd cleaning of my Deuter bag

After my first cleaning didn't turn out well using normal washing powder in last year July, we decided to use Vanish fabric stain remover powder.

We didn't expect so much soapy and bubbly water! We didn't encounter so much bubbly water when we used normal washing powder. Wonder if we cannot use it on a front-load washer?

The result is good! If you compare to the photo taken last year, you can see a vast improvement. Vanish really vanishes stain! :)

Pasir Ris Park

Today, we went to Pasir Ris Park. It's my first time there!

Cycled for 1 hour. Pasir Ris Park is very conducive for cycling and blading as there wasn't many people. On the other hand, East Coast is always superpacked with people.

Beach always has nice view and ambience, especially here as it is peaceful due to lesser crowds.

This iconic playground is in Pasir Ris for over 20 years but it was my first time seeing it.

We discovered there is a pony stable where kids can ride the pony. I wanted to pat the lovely pony but was afraid that it would bite me.

My dear zooming into me fast!

I think the water must be deep since large ships are so near. We cycled towards the east, next time will do the west side.

Republic Polytechnic

I think I am not suitable to teach in a problem-based learning environment. I saw an old bro-in-Christ from the Navigators there who is a part-time facilitator. Didn't see him for so long. Feel pretty good to meet up again :)

iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours

Bought this "Sams Teach Yourself. iPhone Application Development in 24 Hours" book from the PC Book Centre at Funan some time back. I like its full-coloured pages, easy to follow style. I am having fun learning Xcode and Objective C! :)


With programming background, Objective C is not difficult for me to pick up. 

Steamed Tofu

Hungry! So, I took out some tofu from my fridge and steamed. Added dark soya sauce. It tasted nice! :)


Tofu is such a wonderful thing. Simple, easy to cook, taste nice and nutritious!

Up DVD

Up is one of my favourite animations. Well drawn graphics, good and meaning plot, solid character designs, entertaining, memorable, sweet scenes and music... that's why my dear rented it for us to watch together again. :)

How Long Does It Take to Steam a Black Pomfret

I googled to find out how long does it take to steam a black pomfret. But I couldn't find any info because no one does that!


I steamed this 20-cm black pomfret for 25 minutes with only ginger slices. The timing is good; the flesh tastes nice with a bit of the Kikkoman soya sauce from the Cold Storage sushi shop.


Who say steamed black pomfret not nice? :) It costs $6 and when eaten at restaurant, it will probably cost $25 I guess.

MRT Station

Free Movie Vouchers for Doing Survey

I got a good supply of movie vouchers as my wife did a survey! :)

National Library Book Exchange 2011

After going for National Library Book Exchange programmes twice in 2009 and 2010, we don't want to miss out the good deal this year! But we got fewer books as we gave 10 book coupons to my dad, who loves to read.

Installing Xcode 4

Going to enjoy some fun with Objective C programming for iPad and iPhone apps! 

Using external monitor as extended desktop is really useful in software development. One screen showing the IDE while the other shows the online help resources. Mac OS X allows desktop extension without any configurations.

Facebook on SSL

https-ed my Facebook setting after seeing the wall post. :P

Potato - Day 1

Some shoots grow out of the potato eyes! Day one.

I think quail eggs against a white background is very beautiful. I love to take photos of eggs and also eat them. :)

Mushroom

Mushroom in a box...

Iced Milo

Just love the iced Milo! 

Ground Computing

Have you ever tried surfing the Internet lying on the floor? My dear surfing the Net on her MacBook Air on her yoga mat. 

Pizza Hut delivery is punctual

I called to ask how long the delivery will take before confirming our order. I was told the delivery time was 30 mins. So, I started timing the moment I put down my phone...and guess what, it really arrived exactly 30 mins!

Hot Potatoes

Nike Running Shoes

I bought this pair of shoes for running...but I haven't been doing it!

Flowers

Flowers in Ikea glass vase on dining table. Taken using Canon S90 compact camera.

School Re-opens

Looking at these white shoes reminded me of my days in primary school!

Mirin Steamed Chicken

We steamed chicken with mirin. The chicken fillets are hidden under the mushroom and bell pepper.

Tender chicken fillet dug out.
