Purchasing Decisions
Before getting an Omnidesk, I was using a S$60 table purchased from Taobao, which surprisingly valued for money since I used it without any issues for three years. One of the major factors that spurred me into looking at a height-adjustable table was to have a better posture as I have to be in front of my monitors for an extended period. This is especially critical in this COVID-19 pandemic since I have to work from home (WFH) for the rest of this year.
Omnidesk was my top pick, as I have heard excellent reviews from my peers that are currently using it. Initially, I was guessing that Omnidesk actually OEM their table and insert their brand name on it, but after clarification with Omnidesk, it turns out that they do not OEM their tables. Omnidesk designs the specifications of their desks while working with a reputable manufacturer to ensure that these desks are built according to the required specifications right down to the wire. This was a major plus point to me as I am not just paying for the brand name of Omnidesk but also the design, quality, and R&D of the desks.
ErgoEdge makes standing desks in singapore and their latest product is the AmpDesk. AmpDesk is a customizable and height adjustable standing desk. The base price starts at S$650 with free delivery and comes with three years warranty.

Apart from standing desks, ErgoEdge also sells monitor arms branded under Freedom. It comes in both single or dual arm and with or without laptop holder.
The single monitor arm retails for S$99 while the single monitor arm with laptop holder retails for S$129. The dual monitor arm retails for S$159 while dual monitor arm with laptop holder retails for S$189.
There are so many configurations and sizes to the Herman Miller Aeron Chair that makes it super confusing. I am glad my brother took care of it and I can just +1 to his order.
When I first received it, I thought it was a MacBook since the design of the box is almost the same. Even when you unbox the catalogue, you can’t help but think of the similarity between this and the MacBook. I don’t think copy is a right word to use here, I would instead say Ikea spoof the packaging of a MacBook.
I would like to thank WOM World for sending me my very own first poster which contains my nickname “gamerz”. They have sent it all the way from UK by DHL.
This shall be my very first poster that I am going to frame and hang it in my room.

THANK YOU to the whole team behind WOM World.
*UPDATE* I bought a poster frame (Width: 50cm x Height:70cm) from Ikea for S$19 frame it up and hanged it in my room just above my television.
New Ikea Table
My old Sitoca table has lasted me for more than 5 years and it is still in excellent condition. I am going to pass it to Li Xiang as her house computer table is showing signs of collapsing inwards.
Went to Ikea and bought a new computer table consisting of a table top, Vika Grevsta (White), for S$125 and 4 table legs, Vika Curry (White) for S$20 (S$5 each). The total bill is S$145.10 because I paid extra $0.10 for a plastic bag as there are only 2 of us and we have problem carrying all the parts without the bag.
