Got the Logitech Notebook Riser N110 from Challenger VivoCity for SGD$37 for my office use. It is to raise my MacBook Pro so that the screen can be placed beside my future monitor for dual screen purposes. In the mean time, it gives me a good elevated viewing angle.

My D-Link DNS-323 decided to give up to me 2 days ago and I have to find a temporary storage to transfer the data from my DNS-323. Unfortunately, I do not have enough space on my computer to store the data and my old external HDD has only 300GB and it is running on IDE. So I decided to get a new external storage as a temporary solution before I get a new NAS or if D-Link is reading this post would be so kind to RMA my DNS-323 (the warranty is over by 3 months).

More on the death of my DNS-323 in the upcoming blog post.

Hooted the Western Digital My Book Essential 1TB from Challenger at VivoCity for SGD$169 (member’s price) and I get to claim SGD$2.00 off for the carpark, so the final amount is SGD$167.

On top of that, for every SGD$50 spend at VivoCity shops, you can get to redeem SGD$1.00 worth of parking at VivoCity. So I got SGD$3.34 in carpark rebates by VivoCity and plus the SGD$2.00 given by Challenger, I got a total of SGD$5.34 in discount!
