After solving the problem of charging my gadgets, there is only one problem: charging my Apple Watch. Since there is no Apple Watch charger at Big-C, I can only get it the next day.

I wanted to get the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m) from Apple Store in Central World which is directly opposite my hotel, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. But it is way more expensive in Thailand than in Singapore. The official retail price of that cable is TH฿1,290 (S$52), and in Singapore, it is only S$39. So, I aborted the idea.

I didn’t expect I would forget to bring my Travel Gadget Pouch to Bangkok, which contains my chargers and cables to charge all my gadgets.

The hotel I stayed in, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong, only has USB-A sockets on the wall socket.

Seven years after getting my first eero from the U.S., eero is finally officially available in Singapore via eerostore.sg and Amazon.sg.

There are only two models available in Singapore. eero Pro 6E and eero max 7. Both models are available in 1-pack, 2-pack, and 3-pack.

During 11/11 singles sales day, I bought the Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank from Shopee for S$74.90. The usual retail price is S$89.90. You can also get it from Lazada.

I bought this Sharge Icemag 2 to replace my Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, which shows signs of aging given the battery capacity is not a lot to begin with. It can no longer give me an additional 40% charge. The percentage is about 20% now, so there is no point in bringing it out anymore.

My one and only Black Friday haul. I bought the Anker Prime Charger 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger on Shopee for S$162.29. The usual retail price is about S$222.99. You could also get it from Lazada.

Since I have been shopping on Shopee quite often this quarter, I decided, after much procrastination, to sign up for a MariBank credit card and a MariBank savings account. You can use my referral code if you are in the same situation as me, 9WNW69AK. You will get S$10, and I will get S$10.

I bought the Ugreen Bluetooth 5.2 Transmitter/Receiver on Lazada during a flash sale for S$26.99. The usual price is about S$32.99.

Inside the box contents, there is a USB-A to USB-C charging cable.

Apple Watch 49mm Natural Titanium Milanese Loop retails for S$279 and if you are on Apple Corporate Employee Purchase Program (EPP), the price drops to S$250.70, essentially giving about 10% discount. Sadly, neither Lazada nor Shopee-authorized Apple stores sell it; otherwise, it will be cheaper than EPP.

There are two colors to the Apple Watch 49mm Titanium Milanese Loop: Natural Titanium and Black Titanium. Each color is available in three different sizes.

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is probably an impulse buy because I saw an offer that is too good to resist over at r/RayBanStories.

Using coupon code 3008997, I got a 35% discount on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer on the official ray-ban.com website. The discount varies depending on what model you choose.

There are two variants of the Asus ZenWiFi BQ16. Asus ZenWiF BQ16 (BE25000) and Asus ZenWiF BQ16 Pro (BE30000). Despite having the word Pro inside the product name, there is only one difference between both models.

BQ16 has a dual 5GHz band with a single 6GHz band, while BQ16 Pro has a single 5GHz with a dual 6GHz band.
