Looking Back 2016, I moved into my new house on 14th May 2016. That is probably the biggest change in my life so far.
I managed to make my house into a smart home with Fibaro, SmartThings and a couple of Amazon Echo. You can read about my journey here and here.

The EA9500 is the highest-end router of the Linksys Max-Stream family. I did a review of the mid-range model which is the Linksys EA8500 Max-Stream AC2600 Router back in October 2015.
I got the ZUS Super Duty USB-C Cable together with the ZUS Super Duty Lightning Cable thanks to my brother, Leroy.
Unlike the Lightning Cable, the USB-C Cable is available in only design which is the right-angled USB end. Lengthwise, it is the same at 1.2m (4ft).
This is my second product from nonda, the ZUS Super Duty Lightning Cable. The first being the ZUS Smart Car Charger, which I am till using.
The ZUS Super Duty Lightning Cable is retailing for US$19.99 (S$29) and shipping to Singapore is a flat fee of US$10 (S$15).
Bought the Etekcity Digital Kitchen Timer from Amazon when they are having a discount for Black Friday. It comes in a pack of two and it costs US$10.79 (S$16) when I bought it. It now retails for US$12.99 (S$19).
It doesn’t ship to Singapore directly, so I shipped it to HopShopGo together with my other purchases and got them to ship to Singapore for me.
The Sonos BOOST is retailing for S$199 in Singapore.
It is retailing for US$99 (S$141) on Amazon and doesn’t ship to Singapore directly. Since the price difference before freight forwarding is only about S$60, it is not really worth getting it over at Amazon.
Sonos was having a Black Friday sale two weeks back for their Sonos PLAY:1. The usual price was US$199 (S$284), but for the sale, it went down to US$149 (S$213).
It does not ship to Singapore directly, so you have to ship it through a freight forwarder like HopShopGo.
The MPow Streambot Mini is the number one seller on Amazon under the Car Stereo Digital Media Receivers category.
When I bought it, it was retailing for US$13.99 (S$20), but the price has gone up by US$1 to US$14.99 ($22).
