Just a nerd. Also, I have birds.
Been absent from here for a bit due to work and just being busy with other things, but finally going for the holiday. Hope it'll be a ton of fun!

It's been a week since Berry's passing, and it's still hard. I miss having her on my glasses, her cuddling on my chest when I lie down for a break, and her asking for scritches at the most inopportune moments.

Apologies if my next few posts are about Berry. The sudden and traumatic nature of her passing means she's still very much on my mind. Having trouble processing some of my emotions.

My heart is broken. Yesterday morning, Berry the lovebird had a seizure and died soon after. She was much loved by us, and in turn, she loved us. She lived for two things: Food and cuddles. 1/10 #lovebird #pets #parrots #parrotsky #rainbowbridge

The #digicam trend is still going strong (surprising me), to the point #Canon re-released an old #IXUS/#ELPH camera. It costing more might turn off the younger crowd though. The Japanese manufacturers still need to do better to capitalise though. #cameragear

Canon updates a PowerShot with higher price and fewer features
The PowerShot 360 HS A is largely the same as its predecessor, but has a few cut features.

Made the mistake of ordering two sets of Indian food for takeaway. The amount of rice left on the banana leaf is what's left after the two of us took our share, and this is the rice from ONE set. There is still another equally large packet of rice in the fridge! #ded #toomuchfood #indiancuisine

Have used #NovaLauncher since 2012, heartbroken is the word. I've not seen a launcher that can do the breadth and depth that Nova Launcher does, nevermind for what I paid for it (less than a dollar during a Google sale). Alternatives? #android #smartphone

Nova Launcher is shutting down, and Android fans are heartbroken
Nova Launcher, one of Android's most loved customization tools, is now going away for good and Android fans are not taking it well.

So, while the Keychron Q1 isn't exactly a great board (again US$150 for this just a few years back), but the keycaps and the switches more than make up for it. Really enjoying typing on this build. #mechanicalkeyboard #penguinbellyslide #haimuxgeon

The finished set. I can see where Keychron's not-so-great reputation comes from, for what used to be a US$150 item, it's really not that great; as someone who doesn't really care about how a keyboard sounds, it's making me notice how bad it is. #mechanicalkeyboard #keychron #penguinbellyslide #haimu

I feel like if your justification for having a high resolution camera is to use it for cropping, I think you just need a more appropriate lens set or camera system. #photography #cameragear #cameras

The wind this evening favoured my viewpoint, so I think I managed to get nicer photos of the #fireworks from tonight's #NDP preview. Also, Live Composite feels like cheating. #photography #microfourthirds #lumix #Singapore

MBTs are so damn loud, I'm easily 300+ metres away and I can hear the Leopard 2SGs roaring. War vets probably all have hearing impairments. #ndp #Singapore
