10:00 AM on Saturday 23 March 2019
The Rocket R58 has been leaking in the past week or so. Initially I thought it was an issue with the portafilter but a quick search on the internet showed that it was an issue with the gasket been worn out. Searched around for replacement gasket and found it at Papa Palheta ( https://papapalheta.co ...

Pauline and I took a short 2 day one night trip to Johor Bahru taking advantage of the March holidays.

Kite flying
11:00 AM on Monday 18 March 2019
We went to Marina Barrage for kite flying. Esther and I got a simple and cheap kite from SKP and that worked really well. Later Pauline got a much bigger one from the shop at Marina Barrage and that had a much longer line that allowed the kit to fly really far.

SIgN had a team building event at Universal Studio Singapore where the main activity was a scavenger’s hunt. My team was team number 8. The advanced scavenger’s hunt was for 4 hours and we must have walked around that park at least 5 to 6 times searching high and low for clues. But all the hard work ...
MacBook Air
09:00 PM on Saturday 16 February 2019
Got a new MacBook Air in my favorite space grey as Esther needed a laptop for her robotics classes. So I passed her my Thinkpad X1 Yoga. The Thinkpad was well made and well designed. But Windows 10 is still a confusing and incoherent mess compared to MacOS. The tablet mode of the Yoga was cool but I ...
