Yummy Mussels
Not knowing what to have for our dinner last evening, we drove around aimlessly for more than half an hour when Mich suddenly suggested that we visit an old haunt that we used to frequent. We ended up having a delicious dinner and reviving lots of old memories. :-)
Where did we have our dinner? The French Stall, along Serangoon Road. ;-0

Earth shaking experience!
We had an earth shaking experience today, literally! At 7PM, we were in our hotel room in Tokyo when an earthquake measuring 4.9 on the Richter scale strike eastern Honshu about 45km away from Tokyo. We could feel the room shake for a couple of seconds; the feeling was a quite surreal. Luckily, it was not a major earthquake and everything went back to normal after that.

Aperture 2.1 plug-ins
The new architecture of Aperture 2.1 opens up a new capability for third-party developers to develop plug-ins for our favourite digital image management software. Rob Galbraith recently published an article on Aperture 2.1 plug-ins, of great interest to us was the development of Noise Ninja by PictureCode. We've been using Noise Ninja to correct noise related issues in our digital images and are eagerly awaiting the release of Noise Ninja plug-in for Aperture. We're sure it will saves us lots of time in our digital photography workflow. We hope other developer will come up with other great time saving plug-ins for Aperture.
