Bought the Crumpler Dry Red No. 3 from Crumpler Ion Orchard. It is retailing for SGD$299 and if you pay by American Express (AMEX) credit card, there is a 10% discount, so after the discount, it cost SGD$269.10.

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 3 is a carry-on cabin luggage and it fits exactly the cabin of the plane (I have seen my colleague used it). It measures 38cm x 55cm x 23cm (Width x Height x Depth) and weights 2.7kg.

I will be away for about a month starting this Sunday, 18th December 2011, to USA! I will be travelling to San Francisco, Los Angeles and Las Vegas!

I will still be blogging about gadgets and places of attraction in the US when I am over there! So stay tuned.

My wish is almost fulfilled when I made them on 31st December 2010!

For my 2011 resolution/wish, I would like to visit the US or any country with snow! I have not seen let alone touch snow in my 26 years of life before (Snow City is not counted as it is crap). I am so going to make this wish comes through. Tentatively planning to go to the US in December 2011.

I will be back in Singapore on the 16th January 2012.

Saw the Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 a couple of months back, but it was out of stock island-wide. So when the stock came back in last week, I immediately went down and bought it. I went to VivoCity but they did not have a new piece, so they reserved a new piece for me at their Raffles City branch.

Crumpler Singapore is very active on their Facebook Page, it is so easy to check on stocks and prices, just post on their wall, and they will get back to you within 48 hours! Thumbs up for their customer engagement!

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 is retailing for SGD$145 but if you are paying by DBS Live Fresh Credit Card or if you are an EpiCentre member, you get 10% off any purchases. I ended up paying SGD$130.50 for it.

The Crumpler Dry Red No. 2 is a traveling bag with its 3 compartments (Front, Main, Back) secured by zips (which I like) and it is able to fit in an iPad with extra allowance to place other stuff like a digital camera or books. I shall be using it for my US trip next month!

Bought the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit before my flight to London in iStudio located in Changi Airport Terminal 3 for SGD$54.21. Since I was departing to London and have a valid boarding pass, I do not need to pay the 7% GST/tax, if not the normal price is SGD$58.

The Kit is designed to work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters (for MacBook and MacBook Pro), Portable Power Adapters (for iBook and PowerBook), and AirPort Express.

The AC plugs included in the World Travel Adapter Kit directly support outlets in North America, Japan, China, United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong.

Took my last exams paper in NUS last Thursday on 3rd December 2009. It was an evening paper so it lasted from 5pm till 7pm. So technically I have graduated, but I can only double confirm it when my results are out on the 22nd December 2009.

Looking back last year on the 14th December 2008, I was also going to Taiwan.

This will be my second visit to Taiwan, this trip should be focusing a lot on food. I will be going with my NUS classmates whom I knew since year 1, shout out to Weiquan (knew him since Polytechnic), Kelvin and Hong Jun.

My flight, CI0752, will depart on the 7th December 2009 at 10:30am and I will be coming back via the flight, CI0751, on the 13th December 2009, reaching Singapore at 8:45pm.

I will be going with Li Xiang on a seperate trip to Hong Kong on the 19th to 27th December 2009.
