Sharpion's Dream

I was completely BLOWN AWAY by the Coffee in this place. It is a really small cafe hidden in Tiong Bahru, amongst the iconic heritage shophouses. Besides the coffee, the steak was awesome as well. VERY reasonably priced! I'm definitely going back there again. Thanks to AW for recommending! Here is the Google Map Link .

Logitect Brio 4K (S$216) Wow, the difference between this cam and my last one (Logitech C922) is night and day man! Main reason i bought this is to use Window's Hello to log into my PC. Besides being more secure than using a pin, it also is much more convenient. Get it here on Amazon .  HG Amaim Ghost MK2 (S$30) Was looking everywhere for this simple High Grade Gundam Kit. Managed to find in Carousell! Went to promptly get it, in pristine condition. Can't wait to build and mod this! Selling on Amazon . OHTO Pen GS02 (S$16) This is from a lesser known japanese pen making company that specializes in metal pens. It's not really that expensive but really feels good! We bought 3 of these already. Get it on Amazon .

Wow, i just realized that i have not written here for more than 10 years. Somehow as I age, i feel the need to, rather than express and share, more to record and reflect. So as before, I'll start listing the stuff i bought/came across etc. More to journal my purchases and to some extent, my life experiences. Recently, I have gone into reading a lot of self improvement books. This has been propelled largely by my need to achieve. I feel I want to get better. Here are some of the books I have bought recently.  These purchases have largely been inspired by William Wong, the Realstar Founder in the agency I currently work with, in my latest stint. His book is also listed at the end. The Magic of Thinking Big by David Schwartz  How to Win Friends and Influence People   by Dale Carnegie How to Stop Worrying and Start Living by Dale Carnegie Master the Art of Selling Real Estate by Tom Hopkins Now, Discover Your Strengths  by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O Clifton Listin...

As a professional who has worked in the web development industry for around 15 years, i have come across several businesses and websites. I would consider this one of the best online businesses I have seen. I seldom come across a site i like so much, so i decided to write this. The site is Massdrop PRODUCT SELECTION The community will discuss among itself on different items based on broad categories such as Audiophile, Men's Style, Tech, Writing etc. Each user is able to set up topics and recommend products for the community to vote. The highest voted product (with a min. number of votes required), gets selected and the Massdrop guys then get in touch with the supplier. BUYING Upon successful communication with the supplier, the product would then be added and people can start buying. Based on the number of people buying, the price would drop accordingly (just as with a real mass drop scenario). There is a cool feature which allows you to actually comm...

Candy Crush Tips Just hit level 1160 and there are no more levels to play :D Sharing what I've learnt so far: Try to remove orphan candy, leaving behind similar candy in closer proximity Think through every move as much as you can, patience is key If the move doesn't benefit, then just do something else Every level has a strategy, keep playing it till you find out the priority in which to do first, the rest is luck Only use powerups once u understand the level, this is like failing at it for at least 10 times Time is more important, don't be a purist, use money to save time or powerups Different powerups and candy combinations work better in different situations, there is no BEST combi or power up. Sometimes even NOT combining a candy gives the better result

Learnt about Blood Type Diets today. Not sure if its true or not, there seems to be several proponents and detractors. Anyway, here is a summary from about 5-6 sources SHOULD I choose to believe. Anyway it can't really hurt: TYPE B: THE NOMAD Emerged when type Os moved to the Himalayas as nomads, domesticating animals and living on meat and dairy. Only one person in 10 has blood type B Individualistic, relaxed, unconventional, uncooperative, goes against the odds, throws self into projects they love Least dietary restrictions!

Basically, it is completing what i started when i first moved it but as i ran out of money, i couldn't, For toilets, i can tell you that after years of dealing with poor toilets, the absolute best one in my books is TOTO. Go for elongated, double piece and whirlpool flushing system. It is absolutely awesome. As for fixtures, i have always used Grohe stuff except for the kitchen and other bathroom. Now that my stuff pretty much broken down, i upgraded the kitchen and bathroom fixtures to Hansgrohe and also the sink to TOTO. A question that keeps coming up even 7 years ago when i started this was, Hansgrohe or Grohe? Generally they are both good but if you MUST choose one, here is the answer i found most compelling: GROHE Some time ago, one of the younger members of the family that then owned Hansgrohe decided to strike out on his own and started Grohe. He positioned it as a company with a more youthful take on the products. Grohe didn't last long and the son cashed out qu...

Day 0 Wife calls me to say her foot has rashes and she WAS having a fever just yesterday and is still having a really bad throat. She suspects she caught HFMD because both our  kids (2 yrs and 4 yrs) are down with HFMD. She goes to the doctor, doc says its not and sends her home. Later in the evening, spots start to appear on her hand, we go back to the doc and yes, it is confirmed, she has it. Apparently the sores in her throat were very far down so it was hard for the doc to see. Anyway it has been confirmed. I joke that she is a statistic coz adults don't get this. Day 1 Got a bad cold today, whatever man, its just a cold. Whole family has HFMD but daddy is ok! Still continue my day as usual but as a precaution in case im a silent carrier, i choose not to go to work. Come back home and feel ok, however towards the night i develop a fever. Meanwhile, wife spots on her hands start to grow. Day 2 Really high fever today, ranging from 38.1c to 38.9c. Developed a really bad...

After 6 months of using my Sony Xperia Z1, I finally decided to go back to Apple. The phone just didn't do the basic stuff right (taking pics, usability, even making calls...i could go on...). The only thing im really gonna miss is the waterproof feature. Well, anyway, here is what my new phone (iPhone 5C Yellow) looks like: It's just a stand in till iPhone 6 comes out. Also, it completes my iPhone collection, so now, I have all models.

Been really spending too much time on these games, but they really rock! Diablo 3 Expansion Reaper of Souls This what D3 was meant to be, they fixed lots of things and made the replayability awesome! I'm currently playing a Crusader. Titanfall Not really as endearing as Battlefield 4 but extremely fun and well made. Gameplay really reminds me of Call of Duty.

Kill la Kill Very nice anime, 10/10. My buddy also likes it, which is weird, she never watches anime. Really unique and distinct, a classic for sure. Tempted to buy their cosplay stuff  here . Person of Interest Not really THAT good but watchable and interesting. Nobunaga the Fool 7/10 the most, just watching to finish it up Ping Pong the Animation Very interesting art style and anime. Though its a sports one, really can't get enough of the style.

Yoyos and Kendama Yoyos have come a long way since I was a little boy.Was interesting for say...a week, then I got pretty tired of them... Razor Deathadder 2013 Said I would never buy another razor product but just thought i'd try this sweet mouse. So far, its been working out great Soundblaster ZXR I love the control module, less so the sound, compared to my SB HD Titanium, can't really tell the difference. Orobotix Sphero 2.0 My kids really love this toy. To buy it in SG, you can go to either Expansys  or Apple . Samsung Digital Door Lock P718 Really nice and good, makes my life much more convenient. Installed from these guys , who are quite responsive and friendly.
