Miko the labrador (4M) loves to chase drones. This is his 6th EMax Tinyhawk III series drone, and it's sporting several cracks on the frame - marked in green. His previous owner told me that he loves to

A common thread in many relgions are purification rituals involving self-deprivation and sacrifice. Thaipusam is a Tamil religious festival that honours the occasion when Goddess Parvati gave Lord Murugan

Waimangu Volcanic Valley was an unplanned visit. When my brother-in-law came to visit his mother, we decided to go to Rotorua for a few days. They were interested in seeing something geothermal, and I

Peranakan culture comes from a blending of Chinese and Malay cultures through intermarriage. They have a distinct cuisine, and the Kebaya Dining Room is a great place to experience this in a historical

This cute fishing village was tucked away in the southwest of Penang Island, Malaysia. I'm not a fan of seafood - you could say it's my arch-enemy, but perhaps I should build a bridge and get over it.

I experience vertigo, once rooted in fear, now manifested in a disorienting loss of balance and direction rather than a fear of heights. This photo, taken as I ascended escalators at Gurney Mall in Penang,

Hello, fellow drone pilots! In this post, I'll share my insights and experiences with various 1S PH2.0 batteries while flying a 75mm tinywhoop FPV drone.

I went for a scout today looking for flight spots. I've wanted to capture this stormwater sump/wetland for some time because it could be fantastic. This was my first attempt, and I learned a lot. Firstly,

In this Lightweight Travel Tip I talk about alternatives to shaving gels and cremes. I don't carry these items anmore because I make do with whatever I can find when I arrive. As long as it creates a bit

In this Lightweight Travel Tip we discuss medications. Again, take just what you need with a day or two extra in case of delay. Medicines might not be easily available at your destination - what with different

In this Lightweight Travel Tip I go to the extreme. Yes, I actually did this on my last long trip and nobody complained about my hair. I know a comb is light and you'll put into in a toiletries bag so

In this Lightweight Travel Tip we look at toothpaste. I like using dry tabs instead of wet paste. Tabs weigh much less and you can make your own by squeezing paste drops onto greaseproof paper and drying.

In this Lightweight Travel Tip we talk male grooming. An electric razor is heavy. Disposible razors are a good choice and, with some care, the heads are replaceable. On a two week trip, I took one disposible
