About

Brandon Lee

I'm a writer and user experience design meddler based in Singapore. My current work involves digital products, marketing, and content for brands. Like anyone, I fuss over photos, try to find time for books and games, and would rather be in Japan right now.

I got a crazy cool papercraft PS4 as part of my leaving gift. Don't know what to say, guys. On account of us both leaving this place, which has been my second home for the past 7 years, @legendaryhappiness 3D-scanned and printed a horrific frankenbust of our two heads combined. Lads Traditional Singaporean breakfast of runny eggs and sock-brewed coffee, minus the kaya toast, with @legendaryhappiness Boozy weekend cocktail workshop at the airport, courtesy of the Secret Mermaid's bar manager, Kelly. Lots of fun, plus we got to infuse our own spirits based on guesswork. I made a tequila with rosemary, lime, and some funny bark that smells like cinnamon. #cocktails #mixology @the.secret.mermaid By the Singapore river. #iphonephotography Last week with visitors to Singapore. Public holiday island vibes at home. #konabrewingco #castawayipa My NES Classic finally got some use at the office yesterday when global leadership visited. #latergram from another rainy day a few weeks back, on an art trail in Holland Village that took us to people's houses serving as exhibition spaces. The clothesline wasn't art but who's to say, really? #singapore #ohhollandvillage New find at 7-Eleven: #Japanese canned emergency bread for $6.80. #food Formal response to the Japanese Occupation of 1942. #nasilemak #onigiri #notinjapananymore Still pretty conflicted about this, having really wanted to like it and putting race issues aside. But it's less Ghost in the Shell and more Female Robocop in Hong Kong with a few frames stolen from GITS.
