I bought a new ARMAGEDDON 27-inch Gaming Monitor & Headphones #armageddon


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My new ARMAGEDDON (website) gaming monitor and headphones finally arrived. The first time I've bought gaming products from them, although I think I've bought their backpack before. They have been around for quite some time.

I bought a new gaming monitor because my old Asus or Acer (couldn't remember) had burn marks on the screen. My old monitor was 24 inches I upgraded to a 27-inch. I believe I've had the old monitor for over five years. It's a good monitor.

I was on a budget. I decided on the Armageddon monitor when I saw it was on offer for $100+. Others offered below the $200 mark but I decided on Armageddon brand. That's why I also got the Armageddon brand headphones. 

Once in a while, I like to try out other brands to see if they're any good compared to others. Prices, design, and specs matter to me too. I like the company's logo. Too bad they didn't include any stickers with their products like Razer. 


When I buy Razer products and get their stickers, I paste them everywhere. I think cool company stickers help create loyalty and also promote your company brands. So, Armageddon, you know what to do. Send me some stickers!

I love the Armageddon logo. It's a waste that they didn't include any stickers. I would also love it if they want to sponsor me (haha!). They have many latest products that you can check on their main website. I'm already thinking of maybe buying a new gaming PC from them.


My current gaming PC is from Aftershock (website). Check out my unboxing video here. Don't forget to like and share. I took a quick look at the video and realized, I've had this PC for seven years. And, it's still working fine. But, the hard disk died and I had to re-use the old laptop hard disk.

I'm upgrading to a bigger SSD for the main drive and adding more RAM or getting a new one. It's always good to update to the latest tech. Mine has been seven years. Even the Aftershock company has grown bigger. They have many new offerings and promo.


The tech has gotten bigger and better. You can get bigger SSD storage sizes. My PC had the GTX 1060 3GB back then. Now, it's the i9s and RTX 4090s. I still have my HP laptop with AMD Ryzen 7. Now, they already have Ryzen 9. 

HP has good laptops. I have people buying via my Amazon links. I also recommended my ex-colleague buy an upgraded version with more RAM and storage space. My recommended minimum is 16GB of RAM. I had a problem editing videos with just 8GB of RAM.

What do you guys think?

a hopeful memories | Yishun Dam | Nikon Coolpix P950 #nikon #yishundam #nikoncoolpixp950


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I had my Nikon Coolpix P950 for a couple of years now. Looking back at all the pictures and videos I have taken with it makes me realize I'm good as a photographer or videographer. I'm still learning though. There are still things that I need to understand. 

The good thing is that the more I practice and learn to use my camera, the better I get. Currently, I'm using my Nikon Z8 as my main camera. I decided to purchase it, although it was expensive. I count it as an investment in knowledge and skills.

I have always been interested in photography. I remember borrowing my mom's camera to take photos. Where is it now or what brand? Film is such a hassle. People like it but compared to the mirrorless camera, it's much easier to use and share on social media.

I remember taking many photos and when I sent them to the shop, some pictures couldn't be developed. One time, my platoon Sergeant, took out his film roll after it passed through the airport scanner. It's because people say the X-rays will destroy the pictures. 


He's such an idiot. I didn't have any problem with my films. I still have them after over twenty years. I took pictures using my phone and posted some of them online. Memories are what we all hang to in our later years. That's why I re-edited and re-posted my P950 videos.

Here are links to some photography and videography adventures I took using my Nikon P950. 
Recently, I also took photos and videos using my Nikon Zfc. Check 'em out below!
Watch the videos above if you want to visit or learn about Singapore or Thailand. 

I love the Nikon Zfc too. It's a good budget camera to bring along on vacations. It's so good, my nephew wanted to buy it from me. But, he changed his mind when we came back home. Anyway, I had great fun taking photos and videos with it.


I'm actually interested in the latest Fujifilm XM5. What caught my eye is that it has many film simulations for photography and videography settings. I like the silver design which looks like my Nikon Zfc. It also costs the same with or without the lens included. 

I think I suck at editing pictures and videos. That's one thing I'm trying to learn and improve on. That's why I mostly prefer shooting in auto and jpeg. But, the Nikon Z8 doesn't have auto settings. Which is good as it forces me to learn to shoot manually. Dabbling with all the settings.

I'm learning to edit my Nikon Z8 RAW videos with Davinci Resolve. I'm having fun upgrading my knowledge and skills. I want to make more great videos for my YouTube channel!

My mom bought a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5 #xiaomi #robotvacuum #robotvacuumcleaner


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

My mom had always wanted to buy a robot vacuum. She finally did after seeing one on a deal. She told me to set it up and see how it works. She got a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum E5. I like the design. Simplicity at its best. I had a problem with the iPhone app version though.

Luckily, I also have a Samsung Zflip 5 Android phone. I downloaded and quickly connected the robot vacuum to my phone. You need to download the Xiaomi Home app and follow the app instructions. It will ask you to choose the vacuum version and press both the arrow and the power button to link.

It was relatively quick and easy. It is also easy to maintain. At first, I thought, you had to unscrew to open the dust collector. You just need to press open the bin button and clear it all. I know it works because there was so much dust in it. 

For the price, I'm really impressed with the robot vacuum. It is surprisingly strong too. It literally pushed everything that could be moved. The chairs, doors, flower pots, portable aircon and even felled my bicycle inside my room.


You need to be sure nothing will get stuck to the robot broom rotator. Even if it did, a notice is sent to the phone. The app needs to be updated. Use the app to schedule the dates and times. You can also manually control it. Cool!

The robot vacuum reminds me of my Raspberry Pi car robot. You can build your own and even code it to run manually or automatically using Python code. This robot vacuum doesn't have a camera so you won't know where it's going. Will be good if it has.


I wish the robot could map the house and show its location in the phone app. You can hear the motor running but it's not as loud as a normal vacuum cleaner. It will work as long as the battery lasts and returns to its docking charger. If you want to, you can instruct it to dock.

The battery would last over five hours. I live in a small apartment building and it takes a long time to vacuum every section of the house. That doesn't include the time it got stuck. I'm not in a hurry for it to finish. It does a pretty good job.

I've had it for a few days now and I like it. It does the job. Sometimes, you need to sweep away that little rubbish it pushed from under the tables, chairs, or cabinet. I just remembered the part where you can pour water into the mop holder.   

I also added a floor detergent. If your house is too dusty, you can run it to vacuum the floor first before adding the mop part. Since the robot had cleaned the whole house, I let it vacuum and mop. Now, I feel satisfied that the robot helps maintain the house floor. 

In the future, who knows I'll be able to get a robot to clean the whole house!

rain rain go away come again another day | iPhone 13 #rain #rainsounds #rainyday


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

The other day, I saw a guy on YouTube talking about using an iPhone as their main camera, instead of buying expensive cameras and lenses for photography and videography. I commented that I've been using several iterations of the iPhone to do that!

I've talked about it on my blog years ago. Since I couldn't afford a camera, using my iPhone was the next best thing. Sometimes, I'd even use my iPad. In fact, using the iPad is much better as the screen is much bigger for editing. 

I discovered earlier that the iPhone camera is quite good. I use it mostly for my unboxing videos. I prefer bigger storage spaces. The most important thing was the free editing app available on the iPhone, the iMovie. I love the iMovie app.

Sure, there are many other good so-called 'free' apps. But, they sometimes come with watermarks and are worse now with the trial version. Which really sucks. They used to be totally free. I used to enjoy using the GoPro free app. Now, I don't use them.


I also have a Samsung Android phone. Sometimes, I use it for photography and videography. Now, you can use Google or Samsung free video editing software. They're good, too, and free. But, iMovie is still the main driver for me. 

In the early days, my iPhone used to stop working in the middle of my editing like my computer constantly froze. I'd have to redo it again unless I had saved it. It was really exasperating. My computer wasn't the high-end type. 


I didn't know it back then but if you want to do heavy video editing, you should get a high-end gaming PC or laptop. They usually offer the best CPU and GPU. The minimum is 16GB of Rams. I'm using my gaming PC right now. That is my main daily driver.

My PC seldom hangs when I use it for video editing. It has 16GB of RAM and has it for over 5 years. Think of upgrading to the latest available. I don't use it for video editing now as I'm running out of storage. Currently, I'm using my Apple Macbook Pro M1 Pro. 


The Apple MacBook is good. But, it's damn expensive. I took a plunge as I wanted a good laptop for video editing. As always, it has the iMovie for video editing. That's one of the reasons I decided to get a Mac. I have the 16GB version but if I had the extra dough, I would have chosen with more rams.

The MacBook Pro laptop was useful when I brought it along on vacation. I edited my photos and videos when we returned to our Airbnb house. I didn't have to wait to return home. Check out these videos which I took using my Nikon Zfc and edited on my Mac.

I've been making videos for my YouTube channel for years. There are over 1000 videos. I wasn't into YouTube in the early days. I just upload random stuff. It was only later on that I began to do unboxing videos and learn about video editing etc. 

Oh yes, the rain has finally stopped!

I decided to buy My New K&F Concept 32L Camera Backpack #camerabackpack


(All links will open up in a new tab.)

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I decided to purchase a new bigger size camera backpack. After checking around, I thought the K&F Concept fit the kind of backpack I wanted. After owning the Nikon Z8, I've bought more accessories for it. That's why, I thought, getting a bigger 32L would be useful especially, for travel.

Well, it didn't disappoint. It has two top hard cases. One, at the top and the other near the base. It's good because I'm putting my camera inside the sling bag provided for easy access. I can take the whole bag out or just take out the camera.

There's space beside the sling bag when I put it in horizontally. I use the pads provided to create a section for my top handle and field monitor. Now, I have everything in one place. Currently, I'm using the 28mm lens. If I want to change a lens, it'll be inside the top side of the bag.

I can also put my camera on the top side. Especially, if I'm using the 50-250mm lens. Which is obviously longer. It won't fit inside the sling bag. The reason is, I have the wheel handle on the left side. One of the reasons I like the bag is because you can improvise. 


Yesterday, I decided to redo the topside compartments with the pads provided. I needed a flat space for my pouch. I bought it separately as I thought, I could put all the loose items in it for quick access. The backpack has many pockets but it'll be for other things.

I plan to use the backpack when traveling to other countries. I bring luggage but that's mainly for clothes and maybe some souvenirs. My family sometimes uses my extra luggage space for their souvenirs. lol. They like to shop while I'm into taking photos and videos. 


When I got the Nikon Zfc, I brought it along to Hatyai Thailand for a week's vacation. It was a total blast. You can watch the video here. The Zfc is a great camera to bring along. It's not heavy. If you bought it with the 28mm SE edition it's a good lens for street photography and videography.

I mainly use the 28mm lens. Once in a while, I'll use the 50-250mm when I need to zoom. A zooming lens gives you that flexibility. For me, traveling is like a job. I'm more interested in taking photos and videos than relaxing and enjoying the vacation.


I do enjoy the experience though. I had great fun there and enjoyed myself taking photos and videos. That's also part of why I decided to get the Nikon Z8. The camera is a hybrid for photography and videography. I'm interested in learning to make cinematic videos. 

Now that I have built my camera rig with the Nikon Z8, I can't wait to try it out. I won't be able to use the field monitor or the top handle all the time. The cage, side wheel, and hand straps will help with stability. I also learned from some of the mistakes I made mostly during taking videos.

I've learned and improved a lot and have done some practice videos. Check it out on my channel!
