I was looking for a USB-C micro/SD card reader and chanced upon SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader on the Apple Store and it retails for S$75.

It is very expensive and can only read SD card.

Last week, I went to Sapporo, Japan, and while I was doing some gadgets shopping there, I chanced upon the Elecom iPad Pro 10.5″ Clear Back Cover at Yodobashi Multimedia Sapporo Store.

It is retailing for JP¥3,110 (JP¥2,880 before tax), but if you spend more than JP¥5,000, it is tax-free. On top of that, if you pay by VISA credit card, you get an additional 5% discount.

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ is my fourth iPad.

My first iPad was the iPad back in 2010, followed by iPad 2 in 2011 and finally iPad Air in 2013.

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ Smart Cover is available in two variants, leather for S$98 and polyurethane for S$68.

The leather Smart Cover is available in four colors: Saddle Brow, Taupe, Midnight Blue and Black.

The Apple 61W USB‑C Power Adapter is retailing for S$98.

This is my first purchase from the new Apple Orchard Road.

I have been buying a lot of USB-C devices recently to prepare for this day.

This coming 1st September 2017, marks my third year in Tech in Asia. Technically, I started work before my official start date, because the previous guy left in August 2014 and I have to do the takeover before that.

The Adidas Originals x PORTER 2 Way Waist/Shoulder Bag retails for S$259 on Dover Street Market Singapore.

It is S$10 more expensive than the Adidas Originals x PORTER NMD C1 Shoes which retails for S$249.

I owned 2 pairs of Adidas NMD shoes. I got the Adidas Originals NMD R1 Blue from Hong Kong, and the Adidas Originals NMD R1 Onix-Bold Onix-Core Black from Munich, Germany.

Thanks to my brother, I have been using Head Porter bags since 2009. He got it from Japan, when he was travelling with my parents.

Innergie PowerJoy 30C is the latest USB wall charger from Innergie.
