Mingsha Sand Dunes
It was very hot at Mingsha sand dunes in Dunhuang, China. I took this with Fujifilm XT-3.
Tianchi Frozen Lake Panorama
I recently came back from a 2-week-long trip in the Northern parts of China. It was around -4 degrees on this lake sitting atop the mountains. Windy too. Going there back and forth was a bit nauseating as the mountains were pretty winding, especially when heading down the mountains. It was so cold that I…
Legends of the Condor Heroes: The Gallants Review (Spoiler Alert)
I watched two Condor Heroes TV series during my childhood, one with Richie Ren as the male lead, the Taiwanese series, and the other, a mainland China series. I was entertained as a kid, and they remained my beloved series to this date.

Innisfree Jeju Cherry Blossom Tone-up Cream Review
For those who have limited time reading, I’ll get directly to the point, I don’t like it. I’m partly to blame. I didn’t realise tone-up meant an actual tone-up. I thought it was a normal moisturiser with a long arse name hahaha. You’ll see why below. Pros Cons

Unpacking the Reasons: Why I Disagreed with the New Granola Packaging Design
Back when I had freelance work with Tasty Grains granola packaging, I felt that the packaging accomplished the business perspective—standing out in a market where there are a lot of competitors (supply) and not enough demand. Fast forward a couple of months, it was a busy period with work, but the client stumbled into an…
Aquaman 2 Review (Spoiler Alert)
I had low expectations for this movie given the overall bad reviews I saw before watching. It wasn’t as bad as I expected. Of course, I was surprised by Amber Heard’s screen time given the controversy that has happened in the court between Amber and Johnny Depp. I guess they started filming before all that…
