By the Kobe Port

Surprisingly, Kobe wasn’t what I expected. It was much smaller with no tourist information. Me and my dad missed the train stop the day before and we ended up in Hemeji – which was far better! Nonetheless, we had a nice coffee whilst waiting for the world to go by. On a better note, the …

Not Singaporean Delicacy

Just couldn’t help it with the title. Since everyone seems to be curious at the kind of food we sell in Singapore. We eat snake, pigeons, cats, dogs and Kangaroos. (As if!) Sure looks like some really tasty chicken doesn’t it? Well, take a look at what it came from. I heard sewer rats are …

Overseas Travel Lite

You can see my laptop bag …

Leuven has its own version of Manneken Pis

Last weekend, I went to Leuven, and fell absolutely sick in the meantime. I went with the test team, or the Dynamic Duo of the Testing world, as well as Dan & Bart, which most of us worked together with my Masters thesis last year. Of course NXP Semiconductors has changed dramatically as a company …
