Drew's world: Wilson Pro Staff 85 and variants

http://drewsworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/wilson-pro-staff-85-and-variants.html

Sunday, July 14, 2013. Wilson Pro Staff 85 and variants. Well I go back to the PS 85 nearly everytime but if I had a choice I think the newest incarnation - the BLX Prostaff Ninety comes the closest. Without lead tape it feels like a slightly head heavy version of of the PS 85 with more power but less controllable and not so nimble at the net. Will I be getting another PS 85 variant? I seriously don't think so. There are only so many rackets a man can have! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Drew's world: The Big Wet Taxi Problem in Singapore

http://drewsworld.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-big-wet-taxi-problem-in-singapore.html

Wednesday, July 17, 2013. The Big Wet Taxi Problem in Singapore. I am writing this post as we speak at Changi Airport. It was raining this morning and as all Singaporeans know that spells big trouble if you are looking to get a taxi. From home, I tried in vain to book a taxi for 30min and just gave up. Where do these taxis go during rainy periods? Do they hibernate or more likely hide at coffeeshops and have their kopi? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Friday, October 19, 2012. Auto gearboxes a cause for bad driving. A colleague of mine TW recently made a remark that the prevalence of cars with auto gearboxes on Singapore roads has resulted in driving standards getting worse. I tend to agree with his theories. Drivers are getting lazier nowadays. Even signalling is become rarer on Singapore roads. Alas, with the demise of manual cars (you can't actually buy a manual car anymore unless a special order is made) this theory is a moot point. You see my fri...

Sunday, August 04, 2013. All I can say is that even though they are made in Romania and not Italy, the quality and fit and finish of these shoes are top notch. The quality of the "leather" is very good and thick vs the Shimanos. Even the inside of the shoe is nicely finished and smooth to the wearer. All in all, I think its a great buy for the money - around 80 Euros. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Simple template. Powered by Blogger.

Wednesday, September 26, 2012. What's next for Apple? Apple is now the biggest company in the world based on market valuation. Over the past few years, the iPhone has been their main seller, their número UNO product bringing in the most profit. Unfortunately, I think so many iterations of iPhone and shipping so much product I think the market is kinda tired of the iPhone. It has become boring especially with so many people having at least one generation of phone. B) Apple iPad - the iPad mini will be lau...

Tuesday, November 06, 2012. Stringing 101. for dummies. I have been stringing my own tennis rackets since 2000. I was fed up with some questionable stringing jobs from stringers in Singapore. When one "reputable" stringer broke my beloved racket at the time - a vintage Dunlop Max 200g, I decided to invest in my own machine. Firstly, buy a machine and learn how to use it. Types of string and stringing methods. Has stringing my own racket helped me in my game? No I would say that you should only do this if...

Monday, April 15, 2013. You know things are bad when criminals dont look like criminals start looting Singapore. While Singapore residents must certainly step up efforts to secure their own homes as suggested by the article, and the Singapore Police and neighborhood watch organizations should definitely increase their vigilance, the fact that these crooks have the ability to blend into their surroundings as their "Caucasian looks help them pass off as expatriate.

Friday, March 15, 2013. A quick glance at Apple's share price now shows USD450 bucks a share. Thats a long way down from less than a year ago when Apple was trading at nearly USD750. Will any of these increasingly desperate looking maneuvers work? After all, what has Apple done in the past to make their products desirable in the first place? Was it to copy what other companies were doing and releasing products faster to meet customer demand and competitor moves? The answer is no. Like what was that about?

Tuesday, October 08, 2013. Italian steel road bike - Pegoretti Marcelo. Which Pegoretti to choose was going to be easy. I was only considering non-stainless steel (couldn't afford stainless! After waiting anxiously for weeks for the frame to arrive all the way from the US, I finally had my Italian bike. It needed touching up of the frame for rust spots (see pic below of the frame at my trusty paint touch up shop) and a good spray of anti - rust in the inner tubing plus waiting for parts to arrive but...
