MacMeetup and Dark Knight

18 Jul

My honours student is in the thick of her group’s Tioman presentation preparations, so I breathed a sigh of relief. My knee is still loose from a week of scrambling up trails and rocks so I was glad to be spared the agony of joint-sucking mud.

I used the time fruitfully and hightailed it for The Dark Knight. Time well spent. Then it was on to a our second Mac Meetup Singapore for the year. Besides the pleasure of meeting old friends, each time I also learn new things or methods that is the critical missing element when you unpack a brand new mac.

Posted a short recap at the meetup blog and Flickr Uploadr took care of the photos. Now to go feed the cats.

Cycling in Singapore meetup

17 May

Theo, Chu Wa and myself at least grabbed a photo in Holland Village Swensen’s, courtesy of Ladybug, before we left on Thursday night. We were there for a Cycling in Singapore blog meetup. The few of us who pen this group blog some from a different experience of focus on cycling to work, foldables, leisure cycling by the layman, park connectors, transport and urban policy and design, opportunities for family cycling, etc.

We started the group blog in August 2004 and have been steadily blogging since. There were times when we went quiet. In the past year posts and comments have picked up and we all agree it has been a useful repository.

It has been a couple of years since we ALL met, although we have met individually. We don’t blog half of what we observe and there were too much news, thoughts and strategy ideas that our mailing list could cope with. So we met to exchange thoughts at the speed of sound!

Unfortunately Paul Barter had just left slightly before Chu Wa took out his new camera. He had a home-cooked meal waiting. Chen Munn was away in Russia presumably taking photos off cyclists and bicycles, amongst other things!

We had a fruitful time and agreed not to wait so long for the next meetup! As we waved each other off, Chu Wa cycled his foldable off to the nearest MRT and Theodore headed home on his commuting bike.
