A long time out of Singapore
Geez, it has been a while since I was in Singapore, it has hardly changed, the city state is a financial and shipping hub and ideaĺly located in South East Asia. Clearly the richest country in South East Asia, Singapore is highly structured, highly organised and highly motivated. It was once joked that Singapore is a…
The battle of Penfolds shiraz
Its a hard choice to make, a Coonawarra Bin 128 or a Kalimna Bin 28 as both are fairly rocking. The big bold Bin 128 or the softer smoother Bin 28? Let’s get started with the Bin 128, the Coonawarra region is a relatively small and the terra rossa soils are famous for producing concentrated…
Dive instructor course focus

The walls come tumbling down

This was a risky move that created the turbulence to disrupt the flight of the drone causing the drone to spiral…

The Tissot Visodate – excellent vintage styling
I find the Tissot Visodate an excellent vintage example of revisiting a classic watch style. The Visodate has an excellent vertical brushed dial, The text on the dial is minimal, this is well done and the use of the old Tissot logo is a nice touch, Tissot has a pretty decent catalog of vintage timepieces…
