20th July - Hot & Steamy by Rawbean Laden, on Flickr

Had dinner at 'Chicken Pot', which is an award-winning Hot Pot-style eatery from Shanghai.

They certainly incorporated Singapore's style of business - charging absurd prices for 'cheap' side-dishes (e.g. $1.50 for a piece of instant noodle or 2 raw eggs).

Other than that, the hot pot had a generous serving of beef (I ordered the Beef Behemoth), and was quite appetizing.

My Dell U2711 was delivered by courier an hour ago!

Other than the monitor which looks enormous, everything else looks small and tiny now!

23rd July - Boom Boom Boom by Rawbean Laden, on Flickr

Haven't captured fireworks for about 2 years now.

This isn't exactly an inspiring or wonderful shot, but it is my cleanest capture for the evening.

Should I get a LCW ND500 to replace my cumbersome ND8 square filters?

25th July - Strike! by Rawbean Laden, on Flickr

Was about to retire for the night when the rain brought a sporadic bout of lightning.

Decided to try capturing lightning for the second time (my first attempt didn't yield any results), and left the camera on tripod and remote for half an hour while I watched an episode of Three Kingdoms.
