12 Jun 2009 Canon EOS 500D
 |  Category: my life  | Tags: , ,  | Comments off

Can’t find words to describe this camera. The Canon EOS 500D. Within minutes of trying it, I was hooked. Of course, I don’t have the shots with me to post it here.

I love the ease of handling and the form factor is awfully great for the ease of gripping the camera and steadying it. A plus point would be the weight of the 500D is quite light, allowing less strain on the arms.

Of course, I shall not say more, but do stick around for Gear65’s coverage of the Canon EOS 500D. Stay tuned.

12 Jun 2009 Why I like Coffee
 |  Category: my life  | 2 Comments

Coffee has always a special meaning to me, where a leisure cuppa can bring about some wonderful feelings.

And nothing beats about having a freshly brewed cuppa, with some lovely coffee art to top it off. It never fails to bring about a smile to my face. Of course, I dunno how to brew coffee, but at least I can appreciate coffee!

Been spoilt by the coffee at GeekTerminal, and hey, it’s not a bad thing. Because I really enjoy the coffee on its own, without any additional sugar. :)

Not that I dislike my traditional kopi, but hey, having coffee of various varieties is a treat. And yes, I am still on the look out for coffee… Tip me off and I will visit the place for myself.

Of course, for the record, I am appalled by the way how Spinelli (Changi Airport) made that cup of latte. In fact, it totally shattered my confidence to enjoy another cup of coffee anymore from them. Imagine a cup of latte, the barista poured in the milk first, then the espresso. Horror. I had to stir for a good 5 mins to make sure they mix together.

It tasted milky. No coffee taste. Boo. I could do that too. Make coffee, boil milk and pour that together.

So now you know why I am so against Spinelli’s coffee. Maybe its the barista. Or maybe I should give them a chance by visiting them again to see if standards have changed.
