My usual console accessories buying rule is always an extra controller followed by a charging station. I did that for my PS4 Pro and Nintendo Switch OLED.

So for my PS5 “Slim”, after I got an extra Sony DualSense Wireless Controller, I went and bought the Sony DualSense Charging Station For PS5.

My Sony PS5 “Slim” Digital Edition comes only with one DualSense Wireless Controller, so it is only natural to get another one so that I can play a two players game.

Sony DualSense Wireless Controller For PS5 officially retails for S$99.90 in Singapore.

Sony PS5 “Slim” will be officially launching in Singapore on the 20th December 2023. I put the word “Slim” in quotes because Sony is not calling this PS5 Slim. They are still calling it the PS5, which makes it hard to differentiate. PS5 “Slim” model number is CFI-2000.

Sony revised the PS5 model once last year, and people already named it PS5 “Light,” and the model number is CFI-1200. For lack of a better word, the original PS5 “Fat” is CFI-1000.

Bought the Aqara Motion Sensor P1 on 11/11, after all the discount vouchers, and paid S$26 for it. Normally, it retails for S$36 on Souky’s Lazada Shop.

Aqara Motion Sensor P1 is a battery-powered motion sensor using two CR2450 batteries. It has a 5-years battery life on paper, but I am skeptical about it. If the battery could last me for more than a year, it is good enough for me.

Aqara Water Leak Sensor is an IP67 dustproof and waterproof sensor that can detect when an area comes into contact with water and then trigger some home automation.

My use case is not to trigger some automation but to let me know when the drainage system under my sink is overflowing with soap lather. Often, this is due to using too much soap when washing the dishes.

Aqara TVOC Air Quality Monitor is another sensor from Aqara that can measure the temperature, humidity, and TVOC.

TVOC stands for Total Volatile Organic Compounds. TVOC groups a wide range of organic chemical compounds to simplify reporting when these are present in ambient air or emissions.

Bought the Aqara Temperature and Humidity Sensor during 9/9 from Souky’s Lazada Store for S$22.75 after the usual double-digit sales day discount. If not, it retails for S$27.90.

This HomeKit compatible small wireless sensor measures temperature, humidity, and air pressure.

The Ugreen Nexode 100W Charger is the bigger brother of the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger that I got a few months ago.

As the name implies, it is a 100W charger, but instead of three ports in the Ugreen Nexode 65W Charger, this charger has four ports: three USB-C ports and one USB-A port.

If you are doing renovations in Singapore, most electricians will default to MK Electric by Honeywell for switches and sockets. They are value for money, but they could look better.

So if you want to change them, it has to be from your pocket, and they will not give you a discount for using your switches and sockets.
