I am not mobile gamer, much less a handheld gamer. But last week I pulled the trigger and bought the Nintendo Switch Lite. I initially almost bought the Nintendo Switch, the one with the dock and the ability to play when plugged to the TV. But I decided to go for the cheaper option, after... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I went to Kinokuniya Bookstore at Takashimaya to do a little book shopping. I eventually bought three paperbacks that have been in my reading list for quite a while. Usually I read my books off Kindle, but on rare occasions I do miss the feeling of reading from a physical book, with an actual... Continue Reading →
Sometime in November of 2020, a couple of months after the launch of Nvidia’s latest 3000 series GPUs, I saw someone on Carousell trying to sell an RTX 3080 from a pre-built gaming pc that he bought. He wasn’t interested in using it. Despite being in a prebuilt, with the GPU used and fixed in... Continue Reading →
Previously, my AudioPro C10 speaker was just sitting on a bamboo bench that was placed beside the TV in my room. It was wasted space. I knew I can do better than just simply placing a Bluetooth speaker. I need storage solutions to better utilise every square inch of my room. With my burgeoning LP... Continue Reading →
Starbucks recently expanded their lineup of coffee beans, coffee pods, instant coffee, cold brews and even accessories like mugs and thermos under their “Starbucks At Home” series. It makes perfect business sense when the world was pretty much in lockdown due to the prevailing pandemic happening throughout the world. Just how do you get customers... Continue Reading →
Given how technologically advanced the latest iPad Pro 12.9 inch is with regards to the display, it is no wonder that the repair cost for the iPad Pro, if the device is not covered by AppleCare+ is exorbitantly high. Let’s take a look: Yes you read that right. Straight from the official Apple website. If... Continue Reading →
During the weekend I had the opportunity to use my brand new iPad Pro, specifically to watch HDR content. You can easily watch content on HDR nowadays, with Netflix, Disney+ and even Apple TV offering their lineup of content on HDR. The 5th generation iPad Pro 12.9 inch features a Mini LED display that pushes... Continue Reading →
So I did it again, as it has always been with Apple products. I just cannot resist the temptation to pull the trigger and make the upgrade, despite not needing the upgrade. Defying all logic, I opened the Apple Store app on my iPhone on a fine Friday morning, while sipping my coffee, just before... Continue Reading →

Right on time, reviewers like iJustine, Matti Haapoja, Justin Tse, Dave 2D, and DailyTekk, just to name a few came out with videos showcasing the unboxing and initial impression of the...

I am not a sneaker head. But when I saw this pair of shoes being advertised by JDSports, I just had to get it. In my opinion, it is one of the best collaborations between Marvel and Stan Smith Adidas. And what better way than to sell a pair of shoes in the sustainable spirit... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I went to Courts to ‘look see look see’ when I stumbled upon the latest soundbar from Harman Kardon, the Citation Multibeam 700. Previously I tested (in-store) a similar but older model from Harman Kardon, the Harman Kardon Citation Bar. It’s a longer soundbar that also sounded impressive while I was testing it. It...

It was tempting at first. The temptation was always there, right up to the last minute when the orders were open at 8PM. But I resisted the temptation. As much as I would like to experience the dazzling XDR display that Apple advertised in their 12.9 inch iPad Pro lineup this year, for some reason,... Continue Reading →
So I had a look at the bag above in one of the LV stores several weekends ago, and after seeing it in person, feeling the leather and checking out the amount of space in the bag, I have concluded that it was not worth it. They didn’t have the tri-color version as you see... Continue Reading →
Almost every season, Apple will release a number of new watch strap colours. It can be the solo loop, the sports band, the leather band or the sports loop. I have a small and growing collection of watch straps ever since I bought my first Apple Watch (series 3) back in 2017. Anytime a new... Continue Reading →
To buy or not to buy? That is the question. I enjoy using my current 2020 iPad Pro. I paired with the Smart Keyboard Folio, so that it not only protects the iPad Pro but also gives me a dedicated keyboard for me to write stuff. In fact, all my blog posts are written on... Continue Reading →
Yesterday was Apple’s first product announcement of 2021. It was hotly anticipated to announce a slew of new products such as the Apple TV, new iPad Pros with better display (possibly mini-LED) and a newly designed iMac. Apple mostly delivered. With the except of the lack of an iPad Mini announcement, just about every rumour... Continue Reading →
I have been using Razer’s 60% keyboard, the Huntsman Mini for about 6 months now. I used it for both work and play and I am officially convinced that the money spent on this rather pricey keyboard is worth every dollar. Everything from the build, overall weight, stability, to the quality of the keycaps is... Continue Reading →
A article from The Verge, reported that supplies of GPU will outstrip demand throughout 2021. Yikes! The constraint supply is not only affecting GPU makers, but most other industries that rely on chip making. This can be anything from desktop CPUs, mobile CPUs, and chips needed for wireless communication and even modern cars. These chip... Continue Reading →
It has been almost a year since I bought my leather Dunhill backpack. I have been using it for work on most occasions that remarkably, the back still hold up really well in terms of shape. Despite being all leather, the bag still looks almost like new with no visible blemishes on the surfaces of... Continue Reading →
I started out as a research officer at ASTAR in 2014. It was my first job after graduating from university. Fast forward six years today and I am still in the same job. I would never have imagined that I would stick to the same job, working alongside colleagues who made work life so much... Continue Reading →
