Work trip to the Netherlands

Sun, 01 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0530

Back in the Netherlands, didn’t get much time to look around. Was in Amsterdam for a day and last time I was here I missed out the opportunity to see the Rijksmuseum.

Highlights were finally getting to see a Vermeer. It was amazing, saw Operation Night Watch in progress. Thank you Minal for accompanying me on the art, pastry and coffee experiences around Amsterdam.

Also hidden was the Asia pavilion, had a look there as well.

I was there for work so most of my time was spent in Oisterwijk apart from a brief excursion to the Railcenter in Amersfoort, which was a treat for someone who likes trains… like me.

The cheeky selfie is at the Dual Inventive office.

Walk around Pettah

Tue, 17 Dec 2019 00:00:00 +0530

I always loved going to the Pettah market, the chaos, cheap tech and especially the old stuff.

Didn’t have a plan this day, walked around taking pictures of the famous red mosque and looking at old electronics.

Got to have some extremely surgery tea.

First time in the Netherlands

Mon, 21 Oct 2019 00:00:00 +0530

Another work trip, this time to participate in [Consumer Identity World EU 2019] organized by KuppingerCole Analysts AG.

I was a speaker at the conference which was exciting. I had a bunch of free time which I used to check around the Netherlands, which is lovely.

The conference was in Amsterdam, I also checked out Utrecht where I was excited to see Museum Speelklok and then took the TGV to Rotterdam. Walked around in Rotterdam to see the design/architecture, saw the Cube Houses at Overblaak finally.

Summer in UK

Sun, 26 May 2019 00:00:00 +0530

I had to travel for work for a PSD2 go-live whilst at WSO2. This was my first time in Europe (pre Brexit), and it was for about 2 weeks.

Was based in Leeds for work, and traveled to York, Pilgrimage to Liverpool and London during my free time.

It was really enjoyable.

Singapore on Film

Tue, 09 Jan 2018 00:00:00 +0530

My mother had to travel to Singapore for some work and I tagged along. I had plenty time to walk about. I visited with a plan, scoping out locations to buy and process film.

Buy then I had got a film SLR from eBay, a Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP. Also from eBay a Helios 55-2 funnily they were the cheapest lenses you could get back then.

Film was processed and scanned at Triple D Minilab Centre, Burlington Square, Singapore.

Viceroy Special

Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0530

I can’t remember the exact reason why the Viceroy Special was out, but I got the chance to go for a ride on it with my Uncle who’s a big railfan.

First roll of film I shot

Fri, 01 Jan 2016 00:00:00 +0530

I already had a digital SLR, but the whole aspect of shooting film really fancied me. Undoubtedly inspired by Photography Youtube.

Picked up a Yashica Electro 35 GTN for really cheap that was listed on ikman.lk, and film was still in some photo shop, they did look at you funny.

This was an electronically metering camera (thus the Electro) and it was quite hard to find the battery. Nothing a couple of watch batteries and a tinfoil ball can’t fix.

The photos was processed and scanned at Photo Technica Colombo.
