I kept bumping into this AMB Mini^3 amp almost everywhere in headphone forums and DIY forums. Made me very curious to check it out and track down a local dealer here in SG for the kit. Yes, it comes in a kit form and you can buy it prebuilt too if DIY is not your thanggg...What can I say? I love the old Govibe Petite+DAC but this amp takes the cake. Everything just sounds better, clearer and the

I've been wanting to build a headphone amp for ages after stumbling onto Headwize many many moons back. When Jaben offered a kit for the same amp early this year, I just had to get it and I was glad I did. However it was running on those 9V batteries and I don't really fancy changing a new battery each time it runs dry. Not prepared to buy a set of rechargeables too. So the amp remain untouched

Easily the best gig I've ever attended.I've always thought that Mono sounds like a pretty average-ok "postrock-ish" band when I listened to their albums but to experience them LIVE brings the music to a totally different dimension. When they say they're LOUD, they mean it. My ears are still buzzing as I'm typing this.MONO!

I'm surprised what my little Fujifilm F30 could do with some photoshop. Love this camera to bits.

How time flies. Just a few years ago I was staying in Bishan with good old Kevin and Jimmy. Practically glued to teh interwebs and msn. Presently only good old S is still in touch out of the many that I've chatted with daily.So here's a nice little poem she'd posted to me during Christmas 2003. Found it still stuck to my 3M Post-it board while I was cleaning up my JB house. How cool lah.

Finally got to attend the second installment of Fretboard Frenzy, an initiative by Terrabox and Rosli Mansor to push the boundaries of local stringed instrumental music.It was an eye opener to the talents that are virtually unknown to the everyday Singaporean. There are talents in this damn island and if only people would wake up and notice. Cannot wake up ah? Then Fretboard Frenzy wake you up

This little rascal, sometimes she can be so sweet and sometimes she's the devil incarnate...Feeling pretty sian after being screamed at, ignored and bo chap'ed for her chewing on of all things... my inkjet refill inks. Had a hard time washing up the floors and grouting.Lucky for us, we've already booked her for grooming and now she looks like this. Reminds me something a very animated pet shop

So I finally caved in and started some reorganisation of the food and beer related posts. All future food and beer related post will go here.... Oh no... I'm a sorta food blogger now... hur hur hur... Still tweaking stuff here and there as I go along.

Again... hur hur hur... Konbu is killer... we were damn thirsty after last night's bowl and I'm damn thirsty now. Gotta reduce the amount of Konbu the next time. Down a pint of beer and I'm still thirsty... I'm extremely pleased with the tamago and kakuni. Si beh song....

And the ramen is done! And now its called Tanahseng Yakibuta Kakuni Tamago Tonkotsu Ramen!!! Over the top!!! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Yakibuta is a bit wimpy cos the shoulder cut was a bit tiny and was from the tip of the block. Tamago looks cancerous but the yolk was nice and molten... too busy slurping em down for pictures... Now with roasted sesame seed and white leek... enhances the flavour even

or Khinzirness... hahaha... I never could accept the renaming of BABI or PIG or TER or Buta to Khinzir. The sound of it is already wrong. It doesn't sound right. We were born and bred to recognise that mud wallowing animal as BABI or PIG or TER, so don't come and tell us its KHINZIR. Fuck political correctness. Babi bukan Khinzir! I'm happy that there are people who share my same sentiments...

This one is a funny thing. This "THING" is always lying around in my little room back at my parents place in Malaysia.I had a broken acoustic guitar in my secondary school days. Thats all I had. No fancy stuff like kids these days. We used to have a Malmsteen instructional video... in VHS all right that we used to passed around. "Now I'll play it slower..." and that fat swede starts ripping down

Just got my USA Custom Guitars 25" PRS scale Indian Rosewood neck today. Its got teh mojoh!Gonna pair it up with a semihollow ash body with a quilted maple top, Bill Lawrence pickups and individual "Switcheroo" styled selector switches. More mojo in the wooden exotic Chechen burl knobs. May either dye the top with Anderson inspired Bora bora burst or a totally in touch with my feminine side Pink

ahhh... was pretty excited this evening, can't wait to get it assembled. No beansprout, no menma... actually I bought a bottle of Spicy Chinese Bamboo shoot, the aroma was a real challenge but inside the mouth it tasted all right... but then... the aroma... urrrrrggghhh. I threw away the whole bottle. Here is the outcome.... tadaaaa..... I call this the Tanahseng Yakibuta Ekstra Tamago Tonkotsu

After all that boiling and reboiling and straining, I only got 2 measly container of Tonkotsu stock. Taste wise, too much carrots and too little porky sweet taste. I'd double up the amount of pork and half the carrots plus dump in a chicken carcass or two the next time. Then... its not flavoured yet so I'll reserve my comments till tomorrow.Braising time! Seared the marinated BDSM'ed pork loin on
