Warden and I are not big on alcohol, be it wine, hard liquor or liquored coffee. But for some reason, there is a bunch of alcohol sitting in one of our storage units. Some of which I am not even sure are still consumable. For instance, we have 2 bottles of Hoegaarden sitting in the [...]
Wood Street is usually a quiet place as the clock moves closer to midnight. But not this night. There was an unexplainable electrifying feel in the air, never felt before this part of town.

Warden and I were there some time after 6pm, and joined [...]
I went out on a spending spree and finally got myself a much-needed tripod. Alan Photo did not give me any good advice on a choice of tripods, and the sales guy actually told me once to go back after doing more research on the Internet! I went to Cathay Photo at Peninsula Plaza, knowing [...]
