Resort world S.E.A aquarium

It has been a long time since I went Sentosa. I was given a free ticket to S.E.A aquarium. It is the world's largest aquarium and maritime museum. My wife suggested to bring the whole family along as we only need to purchased another 2 adult tickets. The kids entry will be free due to their age.

And so here we are at the aquarium. Pretty big place and it has a huge varieties of marine life species. I recommend going in weekdays due to lesser crowd as this is one of the tourist destination locally. I believe weekend will be very crowded. Personally, I find it more comfortable than Universal Studios due to the fact that the whole place air-conditioned. I had a more comfortable walk at the area. 

I had take quite a number of pictures there. Below are the pics resized.

Nikon P900

My old Panasonic FZ35 bridge camera has died some time ago. I do not have any replacement. However, my family has decided to get a bridge camera after hearing about its amazing zoom capabilities. So it will be shared among us.

And the camera in question is the 2015 Nikon P900. It has a amazing 83x zoom which is equivalent to 2000mm in 35mm terms. That is really far. For its detailed review and zooming powers, there is a number of reviews online. One particular photos stands out is the moonshot which is able to see the craters.

Locally, the retail price is 889 SGD. After discounts at our favorite camera store, we got it around 750++ with some free gifts thrown in.

Here are the pics:

Mini Review: Holding it in my hand, the body is pretty light. The lens part is the heaviest which is understandable for that kind of zoom range. Overall, it feels more like a DSLR handling and of course the image quality can't be compared to it. 

But the pictures give reasonable quality and for its price as a "do it all" camera. A DSLR with a super telephoto lens will be super expensive and therefore I feel it is a value for money camera.

Aerocool DS cube

Once again, couple of months passes by. And I had changed my PC case to a new one but hardware remains the same. My old silverstone case is a good case which is small and compact. But the airflow is pretty bad although it is quiet. So the hunt begins with the same basic requirement that my MB must be sitting horizontally and only mATX size. So that filters out a lot of cases.

I came across this Aerocool DS cube while researching, they had done some fancy casing (not to my liking) previously. But their new DS cube case is nice, simple and logical design. I think they referenced it after Bitfenix prodigy case which is a mITX case which is not suitable for me. The DS fits right with its mATX design. For the unboxing and features, it can be easily found online so I am not doing any videos on it. I also got 2x aerocool 14cm shark fans (red LED) for top ventilation.

Another thing I wish to change is my CPU cooler, due to it compact size. It struggles to cool my CPU if I am doing any CPU intensive stuff. Otherwise it is pretty good cooler. With a new case and a taller clearance for CPU cooler height. It is time to change it, I choose Zalman CNPS9900. This design has been in the market for quite some time but they had been updating its kits to following the latest mounting holes for the CPU bracket. Personally, I like the design and it looks cool with it red LED fan. Do take note that mounting the bracket with cooler is a pain in the ass, they should change the mounting kit similar to my previous cooler which is a breeze to install. But the effort is worth it once it is installed.

Below is the pics for the case and CPU cooler.

Mini review:

After everything, the case cable is pretty good with only relevant cables running to my MB. It improves the airflow greatly and I am using the mesh top cover since I have fans running on top to exhaust the hot air. And my new cooler is doing a good job in keeping my CPU cool.
