Bali Trip 2009 - Day 2 - Mountains Are Love?

Sightseeing is a must in Bali, particularly to the “volcanic” regions and also Uluwatu temple which is a temple right at the southern tip of Bali facing the Indian Ocean.

IT Show 2009 & Orchard Walk! - The Indulgence, The Horde & The Damage Report!

IT Show 2009 was over last weekend and to be honest, despite the “whatever-you-call-it-recession”, the crowd in this year’s IT show was more than ever, in fact it has the most number of people as compared to the previous conventions that I went to.

Rice Field Art In Japan

Rice is one of the staple food consumed by the human population and in Japan, farmers from Inakadate create rice field art by using different rice to form various arts. The procedure of preparing till the day that the field is ready for harvest is not a 1-2weeks thing but rather, months. I went to source out more this rice art and found this very nice website about it. Photos included :D

Uniquely Singapore - The “Not-So-Otaku” “Travel”- Takashimaya & Paragon

This post was supposed to come up some time ago but due to EOY and some stuff, this was delayed but nevertheless, better be late than never. December is pretty much the best time to go Orchard to see some “bling bling” lights and Christmas decorations. Christmas sales, promotions are everywhere as well. Been a while since I walked the entire Orchard but are a couple of nice shots I took that night.

Uniquely Singapore: Prologue to my “Not-so-Otaku” travel…

Over the course of the next few days, I will be posting up photos that I took when I was bringing them around. Of course, just the photos of the scenery only. Call it it a travel log or something, it is taken at my own time with my Canon Powershot S5 IS (yes, i do not have a DSLR). I will be starting the post with a few photos that I took in Changi Airport.
