Got My Apple 32GB iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G!
Got my 32GB iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G thanks to a friend who queued at VivoCity's Infinite store from 6am. Stocks were extremely limited, white especially; one person could buy only two units, just like the first launch.
April
Crumpler Pouch – Artisanal Loaf
Bought Crumpler's Artisanal Loaf pouch from the VivoCity store for S$40, dropping to S$36 with the CitiBank card discount. Grabbed it before flying to Hong Kong to hold all my chargers and cables, with room to spare.

Motorola Mobility Brings Motorola XOOM Wi-Fi To Singapore
Motorola's XOOM Wi-Fi reaches Challenger, Courts, Newstead, Best Denki, Harvey Norman and Mustafa this Friday at S$888. Running Android 3.0 Honeycomb, it packs a larger, higher-resolution display in a smaller form factor with dual cameras.
SingTel Red Prestige
Finally upgraded from SingTel Red Rewards to Red Prestige membership. Red Rewards is SingTel's loyalty programme, letting residential customers earn points off their bill to redeem from a wide catalogue of products, lifestyle perks and lucky draws.
Power Support Smart Pen
Bought the Power Support Smart Pen for Li Xiang at Challenger for S$39.90. Four colours are offered; I picked Brushed. Made in Korea, it feels solid, though I can't draw on my iPad so it suits designers better.
Todai Singapore
Todai Singapore opened on 18th February 2011 at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, near the Marina Bay Financial Centre. The huge 1,300-square-metre space seats over 400, with four private rooms and more than a hundred employees.
Cacti
Spent the weekend wrestling Cacti onto this VPS. Because it runs WHM on CentOS, packages like Apache, PHP, MySQL, Perl and Ruby are installed outside Yum, so the dependency check kept failing when installing rrdtool for graphing.
