Warcraft Rumble from Blizzard Launching on 04 November 2023 !!

As long it is Warcraft and Blizzard, it is a platform that will stay for the long term. This is precisely what most serious players are going for. Looking forward to this F2P mobile game on all of our powerful smartphones 😄

CocoNutnut Special Promotion from NorthPoint

Wow this deal is really too good. Although it is not Mr Coconut, CocoNutnut's Coconut Milk Shake is exceptionally good both taste and value. 😗We got one for each of us and hope that this deal will go on forever. No deadline specified in this deal though. Get it while it lasts ! Don't say i never jio.

Telesin Backpack Strap Mount

Bought this Telesin Backpack Strap Mount for my GoPro Hero 11 to take video footage especially for night markets while carrying backpack. So far i tested that it is good and i could continue to mount my shorty stick together for a quick stationary setup.

Haagen-Dazs Promotion and Rose Gold Scooper !!

Current promotion till end of October 2023, they are giving out the Rose Gold Scooper with purchase of $28 worth of Haagen-Dazs ice cream. Bought the three Haagen-Dazs ice cream with its own $9.90 per tub of ice cream promotion as well. Trying its macrons series as well.
 

Disgaea 7 Launch !!!

Wah Wah Wah !! I have not finished my Disgaea 6 and Disgaea 7 is out tomorrow on steam. Thats really fast and it seems that Disgaea 7 gameplay looks good while retaining most of its traditional gameplay. Looking forward to get it at the next discount deal !!

Water increase again on April 2024

Water Price is going to increase again by 18% in 2 phases from 01 April 2024 due to rising costs. Well, I was right to forecast this is happening since 10 years ago. No amount is going to help us in terms of living cost in the long run. The finanical support is only short term solution while they are buying big houses and have sky rocket salaries. That is precisely why i had done some drastic measures recently.

iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro still beats upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3

According to the article above, iPhone 15 Pro's A17 Pro still beats upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in ROG Phone 8 Ultimate hands down. This only prove that Apple wants its iPhone 15 Pro range to dominate in the gaming market as well. I agree what Apple is doing there and so far track record shows that even the last generation of chipset is able to outperform in the intensive mobile gaming. Take a look at the Mobile Legends world championships, Clash of Clans or Clash Royale, all of them are using Apple to compete in the gaming competitions.

NFT is worthless now as of Sep 2023

NFT is totally worthless as in Sep 2023. I feel very sad for those who actually paid quite a hefty sum of money towards these NFT and think that it will be worth a lot of money in future. Now it is an irritating piece of art that in fact give us learnt an important lesson.

Espresso Cup over Lungo/Latte Cup

Got this espresso cup 80ml to focus just on espresso extraction and of course drinking espresso instead of using a bigger cup for other purpose. One shot of espresso for a quick boost before heading out for work. Fast and easy. Lesser maintenance as well, don't need to wash so much given a short morning timeframe.

High Rise Mixed Used Development Condo in SG are out of reach !

High Rise Mixed Used Development Condo in SG are really getting out of reach ! Just for a studio apartment in Jurong East 500 sqft is at SGD$1,000,000++. Most of us have hardly salary that could last throughout our career to pay off the loans with bank interest. At a typical size that can live comfortably is around 1000 sqft. But you have to be able to earn SGD$2 million to pay off this living space.

 

Got the iPhone 15 Pro Max on Day 2 Worldwide

Ok got the iPhone 15 Pro Max on Day 2 of launch worldwide with ease. Lucky my standard telco Starhub have stock when it is actually showing no stock on the sign. Need to really ask them to release the stock. So happy to get it early without any queue at all. Say No to scrapers !

Mini Pasar Malam @ Canberra Plaza

I'm very much more exciting to see mini pasar malam at a small heartland than in a big heartland. Although its now slightly on a pricer side, its quiet and less crowded. More enjoyable at a small township.

Is it Legal Tender?

Having kept many special edition currencies and coins. At one point, i was thinking whether is it really legal tender? Well according to MAS, it is ! However, these special coins and currency normally worth much more than its face value. So pretty interesting that someone did tried it. People will not accept because not everyone knows it. Thats pretty much the reason.

5% global smartphone market by 2027?

To be frank, not everyone is ready for foldable phones. Hence its a little difficult to predict 5% global market share by 2027. I still flip phones are just gimmicks, fold devices are more useful in most case. But of course, price is also a concern. Target will be met pretty easily if price of fold devices are cheaper.

Gashapon Bandai coming to NorthPoint!!

Finally, Gashapon Bandai is coming to NorthPoint!! So happy, because I do not have to travel so far to visit this and have the option to go closer. Will look forward to coming here often !

Concessionary fares going up by 4 to 5 cents...

Wah jialat, GST haven't increase, all these transport fares are increasing again ! How to say cost of living isn't rising?? No choice, still have to work and earn more. Sideline also need to enhance more and earn more to supplement your bills and rentals.. 

Nespresso Essenza Mini

Bought and subscribe to their $1 subscription plan. Got the bundled set for $48 per month to save from my frequent outdoor coffee. Coffee in Singapore are really getting more and more expensive. With this, i am actually spending lesser for more quality coffee. Got the All Time Favourite bundle as well, to quickly explore all the various brews to calibrate to my usual capsules. After testing out for the past week, so far, i am enjoying it so much and even bring out coffee in my thermal flask to work.

[Starbucks] Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake

Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake is something different to try other than Good Old Cheese Cake. But the base cheesecake seems the same. Its more of the salted caramel and chunks of apple in it. Currently at SGD$7.90. Still good to enjoy with my own brewed coffee.

  

JolliBee 3 Piece Chicken Meal

Haha really attempted many times on the brown gravy, but really not to my liking. My colleague told me that it is actually chicken liver. So i am thinking ohhh no wonder, tasted so weird.🤣 Anyway, the fried chicken i will agree that it is nice and well marinated. Just that price is a little high due to cost of living and portion is quite small for its price. Seems that everywhere is almost the same. 

5G had been upgraded for all Simba SIM coverage

While i am roving across Singapore during the weekends from my job, i also realised that my Samsung Z Fold 4 was accessing to 5G network. However, it is only at certain towns or places. For example, my house area only can get 4G network. However, while using 5G at a specific work place, although it is on 5G, it is not getting the desired speed. So i don't really care since i am still paying the same monthly $10.

Tabao Jumbo Seafood Restaurant

Normally i would had having these food at the restaurant itself. But because we were busy with the little one, my parents ordered takeaways from Jumbo Seafood, the award winning Chilli Crab with other dishes. The chilli crab was undoubtedly best ! Just that portion abit little haha, best to have it at the restaurant itself.

Hotel Hygiene damn important lar !

Regardless of whether you are a very luxury restaurant or well known restaurant, food hygiene is very important lar. It is the people lives of you and me. Rating down, if the price is low, people will still come to eat la. Not sure what, but most likely is the cause of the people who prepare.

8 in 10 are not claiming for SkillsFuture

Problem is the credits really is not enough. Most of the professional courses far exceed the value. I myself used it to learn a new skill. But now, i want to learn something else, credits are not enough and have to fork out thousands of dollars extra in order to learn. But thats just one part of a problem, many of us are still managing with cost of living and house chores. No time and no money unfortunately.

Need a coffee to shorten the work !

I Love espresso especially Starbucks one. Tend to brew at home for a nice cup of coffee. But due to the fact of my busy schedules at work, its getting difficult to prepare my cup of coffee in the morning. I'm currently looking at Nespresso range of capsule coffee. Will go down to take a few samples before I subscribe to their $1 machine service.

[Clash Of Clan] New Chess Scenery Skin

Finally something nice and have class. Wonder should I spent S$9.98 on this game which i had spent several years on this. Shall decide for the next 10 days to see if i will be sick of this skin to see it everyday. Had not spent a single cent yet on this game at all. It will only be an an aesthetic move if i will to buy.

Texas Chicken Cash Cow !

 

Haha Texas Chicken is back this time with its Chicken Hoodie. Every $34.90 set is crazy ! They really gotta milk these crazy people dry. Let's see how is the craze going to be this time. LOL ! 

Apple taking a shot? Everyone is also taking a shot what.

Strong is strong, but Apple is not able to produce as much and there will be shortage. Hence the whole situation looks like strong demand, but in fact, it is not producing enough. Its all about price, produce and marketing stragety.

Lenovo Legion Go is announced !

Thats what real competitiors really benefit consumers ! Not only it is getting better and faster, we are spoiled of choice to select whichever console that benefit us ! However, with such good devices, nowadays people don't get much time to utilize it. People work for money, work for time... Let's wait till people get a hands on on this in the public domain.

Preschool still have many black sheep

Its good that they were fined with $5000 and licence reduced to 6 months with immediate effect. But i felt ECDA should do more. Every child is its parents most precious. We are paying with sweat and blood and we expect child care to do a good job. If principal is rotten, the teacher are even worst.

Battle NET Discount till 17 Sep 2023

Bought this Warcraft III: Reforged on day 1 of launch at full price. But i really did enjoyed the game alot. Bought it because they disable the old Warcraft Frozen Throne and prevent me from playing online. 😩 Nonetheless, this is a perfect deal that i recommend those who is still interested to play and had waited for a long time to get it. Price is USD, but still cheap !

Fold Durability Test are nonsense

Felt that sometimes these test are bullshit. I invested all the protection cases and screen guard. Utilizing less than 10000 times fold through my 10 months of usage and it had screen issues where Samsung Premium support had came to my house to fix it. Still have 1 more year extended warranty to last as i was hoping it can outlast 2 years of full usage.

Canberra Combo 105 is reopened after renovation !

This time we have better food choices. It is like a mini kopitiam spanning several different stalls selling its own stuffs. So we tried the both the Mee Rebus and Mee Siam as well as Butter Coffee and Kopi Peng (Iced). So far food is ok, but still got room for improvement. Butter Kopi was good as they really give a large slab of butter. Kopi Peng is ok. But place is clean and nice now. Hopefully it will stay this way 

Apple iPhone 15 Launch 2023

For Singapore Apple Fan Boy and Regular users 🤣, the online event will be held on 13 September at 1AM Singapore time. Time to see what magic will Apple be releasing and casting for long queues again. 😄 My bet is not much changes though.

Bringing my Dyson V10 for Maintenance

There's only two service centers in Singapore for Dyson. They are located at Capitol area and Jewel Changi Airport, so i brought it down to Changi Airport. I had used Dyson V10 for about 5 years now. Till one day, it happened that it cannot be charged. So we arranged an appointment, however the good thing is, they are able to assist me earlier than my appointment. And they were quick to identify the issue and provided me several options to fix this. Spent $30 to replace the charger and it is good to go. Might trade in next year to a latest model. Dyson indeed have very good products.

Finally ! HD videos on Whatsapp !

The long awaited HD videos sharing had rolled out on both iOS and Android platform ! It is indeed one of the most important functions which everyone enjoy, especially me who required to send multiple videos and image contents for both personal and work. Let's hope whatsapp will not remove this due to whatever reasons.

Regardless of which Presidential Candidate is elected, i enjoyed my snacks !

After a long night of watching closely who had been elected as the president of Singapore. I am glad that my votes goes to the elected President of Singapore. It was pretty obvious who will win in this presidential elections 2023. Regardless, i enjoyed my share of snacks in the evening while spending time with my family. Thats is the number 1 importance ! ☺

Singapore Presidential Elections 2023

As a voter in Singapore, i will do my best to vote for the right person who will bring both ourselves and our future children to the right direction and prospects of Singapore. Just do it and enjoy the public holiday ! 😄 Happy voting !

Wall Budget Ice Cream Promo

Well, in order to save money and have a little sweet tooth, time to time we will have to search for good deals. So we chanced upon this $4.80 per Ice Cream Tub and went on to buy 4 of them since there is a limit of how much we can buy. So far, if you got to compare with other branded ice cream. You can really taste the cheapness of the ingredient they used. However, it is still acceptable for me. I had ever tasted the worst one and threw away. But still can eat and enjoy for this. But of course for their original price of $9.50, i will definitely avoid buying this.

Bad Internet Connectivity underground in the MRT

Wah liao ! Thanks to the internet connectivity from Starhub and Simba, both cannot make it in the tunnels and kept disconnecting my Ranked Game from a winning battle to a losing one due to the drop of internet connection. Sigh, after so long from condemning 2G and soon 3G, 4G still unable to get connectivity throughout everywhere. Simba is much worst than Starhub though. Hope Starhub can improve this !

Durian McFlurry !!

Unfortunately, this D24 Durian McFlurry is happening only in Hong Kong. Wish it comes to Singapore ! Could be number 1 place of all McFlurry if it really happens here in Singapore. But who knows, there might be a chance. So we just need to be patient and wait for it. 

Polling Card had arrived !

Polling Card had arrived. I am ready to vote this upcoming 01 Sep 2023 Voting Day. Do it wise, consider twice so that cost of living will come down. Meanwhile, still munching on instant noodles to get by. Nowadays instant noodles doesn't come cheap as well. 

Wash your bottle daily?

Well, we all understand that bacteria will eventually build up in the same water bottle used to drink our water. Although people often say how often we actually clean our water bottle? For me, i wash them everyday. But the question is how effective we are washing them and what material is our water bottle? For me, i only wash by rinsing with tap water and force. After which, we just fill it up with filtered water and off we go. However, i do notice like there are some residue in the water though.

Mister Donut from Japan finest Donuts @ Novena Square

It had been out for quite some time in Singapore. However the queue are still long and they still limit people to get at maximum 10 pieces each queue per person. On top of 10 pieces, the popular de ring selections only can buy maximum of 4 pieces. I had spread out my orders to try out every single piece of donuts they offered. Currently selling at a promotional price of $23 per 10 pieces in a box. Will try it out and give my review. 🤣

Singapore Airlines beaten by Japan Airlines in 2023

Haha regardless what, i still love both SIA and Japan Airlines ! They are still both very good airlines and have a healthy compeition. Service wise, both are still top notch among all other airlines. 

Dinosaur McFlurry

Dinosaur McFlurry, well, i think this might probably be the worst Mcflurry of all other mcflurry. The ingredients used are quite disappointing and i could only taste the sweetness, nothing else. Best to avoid this. Furthermore paying $3.60 for this, isn't worth it.

SPAM Luncheon Meat Price Increase Again !!

Jialat liao ! SPAM Luncheon Meat Price Increase once again to $6.31 from the $5.95 range. This is even before the increase of GST next year and within a year, it actually increases multiple times yet my salary can't catch up with only one pathetic increment of 1 year interval. Sigh. This is a major problem. Costs and Expenses are rising faster each day.

Is Z Fold 5 really better?

Well i would say the tweak is really very minimal if you compare with the Z Fold 4. Being a Fold 4 user, i compare with my friends who recently got the Z Fold 5, its really hard to see the difference, not even saying physical improvement. Of course, it is easy to see that there is no point upgrading Fold 4 to Fold 5. But from a Fold 3 or Non-Fold users, i believe its still worth getting it.

Registries of Marriage goes online !

Registration of ROM cert can now be taken online, no need to go down to sign physical documents. But seriously whats the point? If it is so troublesome, i don't understand what for getting married together? It is supposed to be two families' gathering to celebrate the good day together. Nowadays anyone can do so without families' presence. Sigh.. 

Finally ! SUSHI Gogo is opened at Canberra Plaza !

Finally a proper sushi chain is opened at Canberra Plaza. Will be one of the supporter to support it to make sure the business stays on for a very long time. It is a takeaway outlet, but i was hoping for a sit in restaurant for us to have hot green tea and enjoy the sushi. Hopefully it will be good.

Rechargable Batteries also gone bad within a year

This set of batteries only lasted me one year before going bad and hit with the red blinking error which indicates bad battery. So have to replace these batteries, although its 1 year, but i had only gone through 4 times of recharging. Oh well, think better to go back to traditional one use batteries !
