As you know by now, I am a huge fan of Bluelounge products, my latest purchase from them this time round is the CableClip. I got all 3 sizes (Small, Medium & Large) from Challenger at Funan. Each cost SGD$16.90 and after 10% member’s discount, it cost SGD$15.21. I have to say these clips are pretty expensive, but I think of it as supporting a company that makes great products!

The Bluelounge CableBox is the first Bluelounge product that I bought. I bought it when I was in Hong Kong back in April 2011 for HKD$288 (~SGD$45.67) at city’super. Too bad they only have white color over there.

In Singapore you can find both the black and white color at Challenger (Funan) or at EpiCentre@Ion Orchard retailing for SGD$49.90 (Member’s Price: SGD$44.91).

Do note that at most you can only fit in a 5-Socket (3-Pin) Power Strip into this CableBox. I got a 6-Socket Power Strip and it is too long for the box. Too bad the CableBox does not come in a larger size. However, they do come in a smaller size, take a look at Bluelounge CableBox Mini.

Challenger at Funan will be open 24 hours daily starting tomorrow, 1st March 2011!

Address: 109 North Bridge Road, #06-00, Funan DigitaLife Mall, Singapore 179097

Finally there is a computer store that is open for 24 hours daily besides Mustafa.

I think it will be useful for people who need IT supplies like certain model Printer Ink or Laser Toner the very last minute and you can’t find those in any 24 hours hypermarket.

If you can’t sleep at night and got bored of 24 hours hypermarket, you can drop by Challenger for a walk as well.

The first person in the queue started queuing at 3.30pm and only at 7pm they started giving out the queue number. At about 10.30pm, there was about 140+ people in the queue, but I think it eventually went up to 200 before midnight.

I have been using Windows 7 for quite sometime since it was available in my school’s MSDN AA on 14th August 2009. I am very satisfied with it, definitely an improvement over the failed Windows Vista or the long running Windows XP.
