After about 4 years in the making, Microsoft Office for iPad is finally here and it is free!

Free in the sense that you can view Word/Excel/PowerPoint documents, but if you want to edit them, you need to have a Office 365 subscription.

I got the Crumpler Bell РAction iPad Pouch (S$95) as my 30th birthday present thanks to my brother, Leroy and his fianc̩, Huimin! The Crumpler Bell РAction iPad Pouch is a new iPad Pouch under the new Crumpler Bell range which is launched in Singapore back in March 2014.

Compared to the Crumpler Bag – Milonas, the Crumpler Bell – Action iPad Pouch is heavier, has more pockets to carry your iPad accessories and more padding to protect your iPad.

Li Xiang got me the Crumpler Bag – Milonas (S$45) for Valentine’s Day this year. Thanks Dear!

I love bags! So if you want to get me something, you will never go wrong with a Crumpler or a Timbuk2 bag.

Both of my iPads are starting to show it’s age because it lags in everything it does. So it is time for an upgrade! I wanted to get the iPad Mini Retina but in the end I chose the iPad Air because of the bigger screen (easier for Li Xiang to do her sketching).

Sold my iPad 1 (16GB) (Wi-Fi + 3G) and iPad 2 (Black 32GB) (Wi-Fi + 3G) on Carousell in just one weekend for S$150 and S$310 respectively!

Description

I was one of the early backer of Flybridge. I backed the project on 29th December 2012 and the project got funded on 1st February 2013 after raising US$19,365 (the goal was US$15,000).

As I was the early backer, I am entitled to get the Flybridge for just US$10 and hence I bought two and shipping is an additional US$10. In total I paid US$30 (S$37.20). Flybridge shipped on 28th February 2013 and I received it on 27th March 2013.

Received the Timbuk2 Freestyle Messenger Bag for iPad from my brother as my birthday present last year. I think at that time it is retailing for US$89 (S$111), but it is on offer now, timbuk2.com is selling for US$54 (S$67.40).

Despite it is a bag for the iPad, it is able to fit in a 13″ MacBook Air at the main compartment (not the padded iPad compartment). I am guessing a 11″ MacBook Air should be able to fit in the padded iPad compartment.

The LunaTik Touch Pen was the 6th project I backed on Kickstarter. Backed the project last year on 14th December 2011, it became officially funded this year on the 10th February 2012 after raising US$309,183 (the goal was only US$75,000).

After some delays, I finally received the product last week on the 10th July 2012. Paid US$30 for it and an extra US$20 for the shipping to Singapore which adds up to US$50 (S$63.20) in total.
