Where we’re going, we don’t need runways! Join me for a short flight to Bribie Island on a beautiful Savannah trainer! I spotted a Kittyhawk and a wacky plane-copter-car before take-off! Epic!
It was a hot summer day, a perfect day to finally leave the house to fetch some much needed sunlight for those wiggly toes. Surprisingly, the climb itself wasn't as challenging as Mount Beerwah. I found the ascent more difficult than the descent because some of the holds and pathing were not very obvious. The return climb took a little more than 2 hours. Enjoy the climb!
Ever wondered what it's like to fly from Singapore to Australia during a pandemic? I've got you covered. It was such an extraordinary period with much uncertainty, but I was glad to be repatriated to Australia as soon as the travel ban was lifted. The trip from Singapore to Brisbane via Sydney, followed by two weeks of mandatory hotel quarantine, was certainly an experience of a lifetime.
Living in a densely populated city during a pandemic was quite scary, especially when I needed to venture out of my apartment. Here's what a shopping trip looked like at the tail end of the nationwide lockdown as a local resident. Sim Lim Square is the largest electronic retail complex in Singapore, known for selling the cheapest PC parts, gadgets, and IT services - or so I thought?
In March 2020, major airlines like Singapore Airlines cut up to 96% of their capacity as countries around the world tightened border restrictions. Within weeks, international air travel had almost completely ground to a halt. I created this cinematic visualisation to highlight that moment by contrasting air traffic data from two distinct time periods. What a strange period of history that was!
Here's what a week in the life of a postgraduate engineering student looks like at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra campus. This was part of a systems engineering course I took (right before the international travel ban) as part of a Master's program, where students were invited to attend an intensive week of on-campus classes at the start of the semester.
Here's what a realistic but uneventful day in the life of my role as a systems engineer looked like when I was working abroad in Singapore. Ok, “uneventful” may be slightly misleading since I filmed this literally on the day before Singapore rolled out their nationwide lockdown. Also, the disproportionate amount of time spent on Stack Overflow may not be representative of a productive day. :)
Join me on my kayaking adventure in Ha Long Bay as part of an overnight cruise I did in August 2019, right before the big bad pandemic! This body of green-ish water covers over 1,600 islands and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Pretty cool huh? See if you can spot the monkeys!
Are you tired of the same old roads and those annoying yet civilised traffic jams in your city? Well, come along with me to Vietnam and experience the thrill of a lifetime! Let's play a real-life game of Frogger as we navigate through the chaos of slow-moving cars, fast-moving scooters, and decorative traffic lights. Who needs travel insurance anyway?
Each year at exactly 4:59 am on July 15, thousands of people race through the streets of Hakata (Fukuoka, Japan) dragging massive one-ton floats. Each team has about 30 runners that carry the float, while others spray water in front of it to reduce the friction between the float and ground because these floats don't have wheels. Japan is simply amazing!
