Marina Barrage – Reservoir In the City

It has been a long time I haven’t been to Marina. My last visit was 5 years ago having a steamboat gathering at there. Now everything has changed, no more steamboat shops, but with many new constructions has been carried out.



Yesterday, I spent half day went over to take a look of Singapore’s reservoir in the city – Marina Barrage. It is also the 15th Singapore’s reservoir. We took the MRT and alighted at Marina station. Follow the signboard to a nearby temporary bus stop to take bus number 400. There is free shuttle bus service around, but the interval of the shuttle bus and public bus is 20 minutes. So if you missed the shuttle bus, suggest taking the public bus.

Suntec Games Convention Asia 2009 – Part 2: Cosplay



While spending most of the time outside the convention hall, I found the Silent Hill Nurse and Pyramid head is my favorite! They were just too characteristic, very real.

There was new things to learn. Some of the photos taken were quite blurry. I figured out possibly because all of the time I have been using Aperture mode and the shuttle speed was auto governed by the light. Thus during the event, some insufficient light moment will end up my DSLR assigned to a slower shuttle speed. This ends up getting blurry image. Plus the LCD isn’t prefect as big desktop monitor, we couldn’t tell is it alright until upload to the desktop.

So my theory is get a flash gun! So I will able to shoot at a least 1/100 sec shuttle speed and without compensate any exposure or aperture.

Ok, back to the Cosplay again. With plenty photos, hope you have fast internet speed.

Suntec Games Convention Asia 2009



Went to Suntec GCA2009 yesterday. Really nothing much to talk about the convention. I think many visitors had the same feeling as it was a disappointment. Not much game booths over there compare to last year. Half of the spaces was the performance stage and gaming arena.

Well, previously the STGCC09 had more games and this one. Not sure how will this go on year 2010.

Comex 2009 is here – Floor Plan



Comex 2009 is held at Suntec starting from today to this Sunday, 13 Sept. Singapore don’t feel any economy problem, because the electronic consumers show breaks the record again and again. The show floor is getting more and larger, 354,000 square feet and over 820 exhibitors! So expect Suntec Convention Hall Level 1 ~ 6 is going to be flooded with all various type gadget booths.

It is wiser to take a look of the floor plan before you get over there and get yourself lost among the booths. However, I could only manage to find Floor 4 and 6. Even on Comex official web site, they didn’t release any of the floor plan, weird. Couldn’t find those telecommunication, I guess they possibly take up the Level 2 and 3.

Facts about Singapore Internet Speed

I felt the internet speed these few days was not stable at home. Therefore, did some search of Singapore internet speed and found some interesting facts about it.

According to the latest report from Communications Workers of America (CWA), Singapore has been ranked 24th worldwide for the average download speed of 7.26Mbps. The first place is South Korea with the average of 20.4 Mbps. In Asia, Singapore is ranked right after Korea, Japan and Hong Kong. Even USA only ranked at 28th place.
