Unique and Biggest Library Cruise

Unique and Biggest Library Cruise is at VivoCity on 07 May to 21 May 2023 and is free to enter from 1pm to 9pm. However, you will have to book in order to enter due to limited capacity. At least it is something new for people to enjoy. Enjoy while it is on board in Singapore !

Gatsby Technical Design Clay

Gatsby Technical Design Clay is something i used for a long time to make a messy but standard style. However lately, i had visited several stores and it seems that they no longer have this selling on their shelf. As i had depleted my stock, i am still on a lookout and tried finding online. Only to find that this product has discontinued. GG time to look out for similar experience products, but spent a couple of clay. It is bad and doesn't give a consistent effect. Time to do a last minute R&D now. 🤨

Durians dropping in price, but is that the case?

Thats what the news always say... Whenever i go and see how much the durian actually cost, it doesn't reflect the cheap price and all the sellers kept saying the cheap one finish already. 🫤 Starting to doubt durian news. All is fake news !!!

Big Watermelon !!

Under the hot weather, wanted to hydrate ourselves, so spend about $6+ for this big Watermelon from Sheng Siong. My wife cut half and we start to eat. I realised that initially was shiok, but damn cannot finish, the portion really too much even it is just water. Furthermore, i'm actually in a thirsty state. Oh well, tried to finish as much as possible and is indeed sweet. But at least still cheaper than bubble tea.

My fastest Tools ever to boost my work efficiency

As the title goes, i had finally get my hands on my latest NVMe drive with up to date M.2 SSD Enclosure just to boost my overall imaging to even higher level. My existing ROG Strix Arion with Adata NVMe which i had been using for more than 2 years had been able to handle fast within a minute. As tested with a normal USB 3.0 HDD, it takes 6 minutes 50 seconds to complete a job. My ROG Strix Arion with Adata XPG SX8200 took about 38 seconds. Yet to test this WD Black as the transfer speeds are even better than my Adata ones. Can't wait to test out this baby !

Singapore Temperatures are getting hotter and hotter !

Weather is really getting hotter and hotter. These days, i hardly eat at the hawker centre, because i will sweat like crazy. Instead, i would rather tabao back to office to eat or eat at fast food restaurants. I guess most working staffs will agree, as it will be unpleasant to sweat in formals or whatever we are wearing and felt sticky the rest of the work days.

Forest City is confirmed a goner.

As of current, this piece of reclaimed land in Malaysia is confirmed a goner. Those owners who had already bought the units there is as good as money is gone. Because of the lack of people who move in or purchase the units. Sooner or later, no more maintenance to be done there and soon, many upcoming problem will arise. Doubt much can be done there, whereas Singapore Land is 😮‍💨

Another Lazy Afternoon to Chin Lee @ Canberra Plaza

As usual, ordered their signature dry cha kuay tiao which is almost as good like my number 1 Carrot Cake in Marine Terrace which had extinct since many years ago. Their dim sum also running a 10% discount and had a simple brunch for 3 pax including a little one which still cannot eat these. So far these dishes still meet my expectations and certainly a nice and cosy place to chill in in my little neighbourhood. No crowd and comfortable. 😁

Changi Village Hokkien Mee & Carrot Cake @ Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre

Came to try this Changi Village Hokkien Mee stall located at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre because whenever i came in the morning, they were not opened. So happened that i came in the afternoon and the stall is opened finally. In short, wok hei not much, but the hokkien mee is not bad. Carrot Cake both white and black is kinda normal. But price still quite ok. Nothing special. 😐

Whatsapp - One to Many devices !

Finally whatsapp will be able to allow one whatsapp account on multiple phones. These are important for most people who just need one personal and work account working on all their multiple devices. Like me, i have 2 phones, 1 tablet and it is really good that i can now manage my main whatsapp on all three devices ! Now the most important feature is for it to work on iPad Mini instead of just using whatsapp web with limited functions.

ROG Ally Official Announcement

All right, apparently it is no longer an April Fool Joke as it is going to be launch officially on 11 May 2023 at 10PM Singapore Time. And also because it is May now 😄 It is going to be a really awesome device both hardware and software. It is also because of Strong gaming brand such as ROG. Performance will most likely be key, but price might be a problem for most players. However let's look forward to 11 May 2023 and slowly decide whether to get it or not.

BeatStar Into The Night Competition

Haha lately had returned to this game to calm my senses down. Actually its a fun game at the same time, exploring new music and play my favourite songs. Took part the event and surprised that i won 1st place. 😅 So have three free rolls of resources. Anyway just a random post 🤣

Orico M.2 SSD Enclosure

After utilizing my ROG Strix Arion for more than 2 years now, i guess its time for me to get another one to supplement and increase my job's productivity. Transfer speeds are critically important for those who needs to get the job done within tight timeline. With company's issued HDD, its already a joke to use them in today's standard. With this new Orico M.2 NVMe enclosure, i am able to double my work efficiency. Next, i will be getting a newer PCIe 4 NVMe hopefully for a better speed achievement.

1 For 1 Deals at Starbucks and KFC

1 for 1 Starbucks and 1 for 1 KFC Breakfast American Wrap for a rest day is both cost effective and can be enjoyable. So two american wraps and one starbuck drink is the perfect breakfast at half the cost :) Also took the chance to try out KFC American Wrap, actually not bad, but think not worth the full price though. As for Starbucks, needless to say, my Iced Latte with double shot espresso and Java chip for my wife.

FairPrice Enriched White Bread

At $1.70 for a jumbo size white bread is still one of the most affordable option for today's standard. Taste wise, you would felt much difference from Gardenia or Sunshine counterpart. So it is worth every penny and quality is decent. Having this to save and squeeze more money out of it. 😐

Anbernic Console 😆

Finally owned and played it consistently for the past 2 weeks. I got to say that it is very value for money. The build quality is solid for its price and no more tweaking for now. It comes stock with tons of games and i really mean TONS ! Not only tons of games, it contains games of many different consoles such as PS1, Vertical Arcade, CPS, NeoGeo, FBAHack, Mame, GBA, NES, SNES, SMS, MD, GBC, GB, PCE, NGPC, GG and WSC. As for design, i select the classic Gameboy design.

Honest Review of some stalls at One Punggol Hawker Center

Well, not all food were great. While working near One Punggol Hawker Center, tried two stalls, one taiwan Bak Chor Mee and one selling Bak Gut Teh. Not much comments on the Bak Chor Mee as it is quite costly for both its portion and quality. As for the Bak Gut Teh which costs me $9 without rice, the meat portion were big, but quality was very bad. Besides that, i was seeing how it is being prepared, the foreign uncle dropped the ingredients on the stove which is dirty, but picked it up and went to cook it. Taste were very disappointing. I would best advise people not to try the Bak Gut Teh stall though. 🤨

Pi Pa Gao + Cooling Water + Vicks sidekick

As i was sick with high fever since morning exactly last sunday, i took a total of 8 panadol to last through my work. [Yeah i work on sunday -_-] In addition, i added these mediciation which works perfectly after a day of constant usage for my High Fever + Cold + Flu + Headache. The rest still works well, but special mention on the covenient pack which is great to consume anywhere anytime. I think its around $7.20.

Lee Wee & Brothers Nasi Lemak

Ended quite late for work, but since i'm still in the area. Tabao Lee Wee & Brothers Nasi Lemak. However, i reached there around 7.20pm, so it is left with Chicken Cutlet Set. Bought it at $5.50. So within the set, have the Chicken Cutlet, peanuts, ikan bilis, chilli, cucumber, fish cake and its Otah. The otah was not bad, so is the chicken cutlet. As for the rest, i felt its so-so. But decent and i like that they preserved their crispyness of the peanuts and ikan bilis in a little packet.

Apple Card Savings Account

Wow, so envy of US citizens. I think if this is implemented worldwide, the current Apple fan base will be enough to sign up for this and invest. However now it is only launched in US. Hopefully with this app, it allow customers to get special deals on Apple products, it will definitely boost Apple's sales in a longer run. For now, let's give some time to hear what US citizen got to review on this and see if Apple will expand to Asia.

Texa Chicken Bag Handling

Aiya, these limited edition stuffs always happen in SG. Many people willing to queue for hours to get and turnover to those who didn't had the chance to get it. But in a business point of view, these methods are still relevant and great at getting more business and customers' base. However, these businesses' management need to know how to handle these situation well enough so that it will not affect their employees on the ground. Unfortunately, even in most sectors, management still heck care what difficulty the employees are facing on the ground. 

Samsung dropping Google for Bing

To be frank, i personally still preferred google search. Well, not end of the world. I still will download Goggle Chrome from Play Store and used them for future Samsung Galaxy Devices ! Personal Preference wise, i tried Bing and don't really get what i want in the search. Even for PC, i still prefer google chrome than Microsoft Edge, but i still love both Google and Microsoft as a company. 😀

Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra :/

Let's hope it is true. I am long looking for a impressive zoom function. The current Samsung S23 Ultra zoom capability still not up to mark. My best zoom camera phone is still the Oppo Reno 10X Zoom. However, i hope the claim of this article is true lah. One more nonsense Samsung is saying was Samsung planning to use back Exynos chipset again. Oh well, until it really prove to be good, otherwise i will still stay away from it.

KFC Drumlets :)

Not only i enjoyed KFC Crispy Chicken, but also the new KFC Hot Devil Drumlets !! With both lime and bbq spicy flavor, i still prefer the lime one as it gives a more sour and spicy taste. Perfect combination, bbq ones taste good too except that it is quite common. 12 drumlets portion is actually good for 3 people but i enjoy it at 2 pax :)

F&B Container Park - Another one of Singapore's Biggest !

We had a few of these concept at places in Singapore. However, this new place will be one of Singapore's biggest size Container Park. Best of all, we will be able to enjoy both the sea + Aeroplane landing and takeoff. As Singapore is a small place, i personally still like to go to Non-Crowded places to chill. For a start, it will be big bang, but hopefully the large crowd will die down soon. However being ssid this, stall owners need constant crowd to make good money too, also to be able to cover the rental. Lets see.

Book Depository | One of my book rejected :(

While i am enjoying my last order on two books, one of my book got rejected. Not sure the actual reason whether it is shortage or no longer available. So they will be refunding one of my book cost. Still pending one more book to deliver by next month. Again, i love getting my books from Book Depository as they really carry good value and service for their book delivery. Not forgetting i like how they deliver the overall package !

Anbernic RG35XX - Game Boy For Adult

As the title and review goes, this unit, RG35XX is indeed a Game Boy for adult. Only those who plays Game Boy in the 1990s will truly enjoy this console. I'm one of them. Still remembered that i often work part time job just to buy game cartridge. Often hold the heavy game boy by my gate side to play games. At that time, one flagship game only costs S$30. However this unit contains tons of games of different consoles and even arcade games !! Definitely recommend anyone to buy it !

Wow ! Millennial is just awesome !

Wow oh wow, taking grab 99% of the time. For myself, i think twice and give up if it is just a causal or tiring trip. In fact, never took grab just for causal or lazy trip. The moment i take grab is only when emergency occurred where i required to rush to the hospital fast. For a single, last time i do spend alot on dining. That i can understand. Maybe because i'm not a millennial, as i treat money and cash very strictly. Millennials' spending habits is really alarming, however it does spur spending and its good for our economic, however, millennial really need to save or invest enough, or else all will cry for money 😅

Ragnarok Origin - Difficulty Starts at Second Job

Well, choosing as a merchant and eventually goes into job change as a BlackSmith now. The difficulty is actually now. Not knowing and hard to sustain the equipments and grinding process. Levelling up is all right, but the more important part is rather the upkeep and keeping up with the overall power level. Meaning even if my level is high, but unable to grind at monsters which have similar levels as I am. Really need to do many microfarming and keep enhancing the various weapons and armors ! Let's see how long i will last.

Next Gen ROG Phone 7

After using ROG Phone 1 for a few years before i sold off, almost getting ROG Phone 6, but eventually preordered Samsung Z Fold 4. Shortly after, then suddenly ROG Phone 6 released. 🤨 ROG Phone 6 in my opinion, its already damn good of a device. However, i might be considering this upcoming Asus ROG Phone 7. If the price, specs and design are right, this will be replacing my Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max.

NTUC - Buy Fresh Pork and Free Rice :D

Seeing this promotion often make me decide on the spot decision especially on what to cook for lunch or dinner on a weekend. So yeah, after breakfast, happened to see this promotion during my groceries shopping. Free 500g Rice for every $15 purchase of fresh pork. So decided to get Pork Ribs and make Bak Kut Teh with Songfa Bak Gut Teh Soup base. Good bowl to nourish ourselves after endless and sleepless nights 😄

Ragnarok Origin - Latest Mobile Game Released on 06 April 2023

The latest Ragnarok Origin is on Mobile now ! I had created my character and will be taking on the Merchant job. So far the game mechanic is very good. Will be going long term on this just like i played Ragnarok M Eternal Love for 3 years. Let's just hope that F2P can go far for this.

VitaMilk - Simple and Easy to get Soya Bean Milk

Vita Milk still one of my favourite choice as a quick chilled Soya Bean Milk. Although price had increase in the recent years, i still continue to support this and price still affordable. Drinking from glass bottles are way better than plastic or can form. In a way, the soya bean milk is quite similar to condensed milk. 😁

Cheap cheap instant noodles deal

Long time never ate instant noodles because not healthy lah. But lately due to busy schedules everyday, no choice but to resort to instant noodles again. So whenever i cook three packets for two pax, i am actually paying less than S$1 for a meal for two pax. So far, this curry flavor taste ok but still need to get used to it nowadays.

Book Depository Closing on 26 April 2023

It is very sad to learn of this since i had been getting most of my IT textbooks and Financial books from this source as the price were so much better than our local bookstore. The only thing is after this online store is closed, my alternative source is back to KinoKuniya which is very expensive without membership. The membership itself is technically expensive too. Oh well....

Asus ROG Ally - ROG very first gaming handheld Console

ROG posted on their very firsf ROG handheld Gaming Console on 1st April 2023. Unsure whether it is a April Fool Joke, otherwise it will be very cool ! Unfortunately, i already bought and ordered one Portable Gaming Console which i will be posting soon. Based on this video made, seems that it is very legit device. If its fake, really well made ! 😄

Chin Lee Tea & Dine Lazy Afternoon

Tabao many times and supporting this restaurant for quite a while since it opened at Canberra Plaza. Usually will tabao their takeway menu and eat at home while working on my part time job. Tabao Yangzhou Fried Rice, Hor Fun with gravy and two Soup of the day. Just realised the cake shop beside had closed down, but quite obvious since not much business noticed over there unlike Chin Lee. The food ordered were great, as well as the soup, but felt that the soup is abit overpriced for its quantity though.

New Mcdonald Sweet Paprika Chicken McCrispy

Finally get to try the Sweet Paprika McCrispy, Criss Cut Fries and Calamansi McFizz. Honest review about the mcCrispy chicken is quite normal. Best to eat it when its hot and juicy, otherwise, it will not be nice. Criss Cut fries is probably the best fries for all the other fries in McDonald. Calamansi Mcfizz is not that great as well. So overall, doubt i will be eating this again for this season.

WWDC23 Confirmed !

Apple Event, WWDC23 is finally confirmed to be on 05 June to 09 June 2023. Looking forward to what software aspects of innovation and improvement to be revealed during the event. It is always good to have newer features or functions added to your existing Apple devices to help improve productivity and fun to using its devices. This is beneficial to me especially since I'm already decided to replace my Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max to the upcoming Apple iPad Mini 7 hardware refresh ! I am still maintaining my primary device to be a Samsung Fold 4, similar to what Bill Gates is using as well. 🙂

Malaysians also own Singapore cars and pump RON95 lah ! So obvious !

This is the perfect example that finally people realised ! Not every Singapore Car are driven by Singaporeans. Although there were black sheeps from Singaporeans, there are many malaysians who owned Singapore cars and drove in to pump RON95 for decades !! Just that people often stereotype Singapore cars. To those Singaporeans who pump RON95 really malu and throw face lah. Just pump the better petrols for goodness sake, its still cheaper what u pumped in Singapore. If can't afford, don't own the car.

PNY NVMe PCIe Gen3 x4 1TB Worth the money?

Having own 1 of the earliest release of Adata XPG SX8200 500GB and ROG Strix Arion NVMe SSD enclosure adopter to help increase my work efficiency, it really does the job well due to its high read and write speeds. After 2 years, i decided to get another one, but looking to get other enclosure and NVMe SSD. So i chanced upon this PNY M.2 NVMe SSD. Probably saw the exceptional cheap price with 1TB of storage. Made me curious of this product. As a result, yeah reviews isn't really good. Seems that cheap product really doesn't mean it is good. Shall explore other product, and skip this. 

Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve is coming to iPad Platform !

Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve is coming to iPad Platform ! Although DaVinci Resolve have its Paid version, many still enjoy the free version ! Its cut and colour pages features is already very powerful for simple editing. As i am personally looking to tech refresh my Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max to the iPad Mini 7 which is releasing sometime in 2024, many of these useful apps really help to enhance productivity. Still hoping that there will be a major upgrade to the upcoming iPad Mini 7 !!

One Punggol Hawker Centre offers 10% Discount !

Ate at this One Punggol Hawker Center a few times there and gotta admit that the food and drinks were quite costly there. Fortunately, there is a Timbre App which you can enjoy 10% discount for all food and drinks there. However, not all enjoyed cashless transactions where you have to top up and at times money got locked up only to purchase food and drinks at the said location. But if you frequent there, then maybe better to use the app. FYI, the discount is borned by the stall owners, so do support them !

Back to eating Oats every dinner time !

Looks like its time for me to start taking Oatmeal every dinner time if i make it home. If at work, then no choice. Not only it will reduce weight and most importantly overall costs and expenses, it taste delicious too ! Back in the days like 17 years ago, my dad will often make oats as our breakfast. With the condensed milk, it really taste heavenly ! 

Second Death Anniversary to my Son

Today is the day i pay my respects to my son, Jordan who had passed away on 28 March 2021. Its already two years, but i can never forget who and how important he is to me. Till today, i still have you as my wallpaper on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and previous iPhone 12. I hope you are in the safe hands in heaven and move on 😢

New KFC Durian Golden Mochi

Well, besides getting their 3 piece chicken meal to fill up myself for the second job in the night, decided to get a small box of durian. 5 durian balls in the smaller box for $3.95. My wife said not not bad. For myself, i think its all right, still devoted to pure durian. 😆

Passing the Leader Throne to the next gen of players [Clash Royale]

As of today, I will be officially handing over the throne to Nick from Singapore Clan of Clash Royale. I will step down as leader of Singapore Clan as i am currently really very busy with my personal life. However, i will still be active in the game and do all the clan war daily :P

Lock - Too secure or too loose also Jialat !

Just by quoting two latest news that people had a chance to get trapped in isolated place anywhere in the world. The best advice is to bring your mobile phone whereever you go ! Don't think of it as a short trip to the toilet or nursing room, communication is key to get help when ever possible. 

Nearby Don Don Donki Northpoint Early Marketing

Came here while on my OFF day to get some Brunch before heading out to run some errand. Early morning shopping at Don Don Donki where there were no crowd is a blessing ! Some food items might not be available, but you can be certain that you will be getting the freshest food item. The Soba was ok, as i think there are better ones out there. The tonkatsu curry was good, but quite pricey. Vegetables was imported from japan, a little expensive, but the quality is there.

All prices will raise one. Even Apple !

Late last year, Apple mentioned that they will reduce the price of their upcoming iPhone 15 Pro. But then only a few months later, Apple decided to raise price for the iPhone 15 Pro. Its natural, if they don't raise, then i worry since I am part of Apple's Shareholder. However, iPhone is still the world best choice of mobile device, especially the new generations. Based on my current needs, i basically will sell off my iPhone 13 Pro Max for the upcoming Apple iPad Mini 7 which will be refreshing in 2024.
