Another COVID-19 year has passed, and on 23rd January 2022, will mark’s COVID 2 year mark in Singapore.

I think I have more exciting gadgets this year than in 2020.

This site got a revamped back in April 2020, and in its current iteration, it is version 5.

Smart Home
The only change I did in 2020 was to slowly replaced all my spoiled MCO Z-Wave switches to Sonoff T2UK Wi-Fi Smart Wall Switch. So far, I have already replaced three out of ten, one 4-gang, one 2-gang, and one 1-gang.

Smart Home
Added Amazon Echo Wall Clock, WYFY Beam, and Xiaomi Mi Standing Fan to my Smart Home collection.

I bought a new gaming console, Sony PS4 Pro God of War / The Last of Us Remastered Bundle during 11/11 Singles Day Sales so that I can play Final Fantasy VII Remake on 3rd March 2020.

Smart Home
Didn’t do much to my smart home this year. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”

Added three new voice assistant devices to my home:

Smart Home
Been staying at my place for almost two years now. With regards to my smart home update, I found out that MCO Touch Panel is not very lasting.

Three of my 1-gang MCO Touch Panel (MH-S411) spoiled. Spoiled in a sense, it doesn’t have power to the unit, and hence I can’t switch on or off my lights. Another of my 4-gang MCO Touch Panel (MH-S314), the Z-wave module inside it spoiled, so I can’t pair it.

Looking Back 2016, I moved into my new house on 14th May 2016. That is probably the biggest change in my life so far.

I managed to make my house into a smart home with Fibaro, SmartThings and a couple of Amazon Echo. You can read about my journey here and here.

Looking Back 2014, I didn’t really travel much. I traveled to UK and Paris in June 2015 and Hong Kong in September 2015.

For 2016, I will be away to Thailand during Chinese New Year. I hope I can get to travel to Taiwan or Japan at the end of 2016.

In Looking Back 2013, I wanted to travel to Japan, but that didn’t happen. However, I am still on Holidays in Hong Kong for 13 days (22nd December 2014 – 3rd January 2015)!

For my 2014 resolution/wish, I think is time to save some money because of all the travelling! And to contradict my previous statement, maybe for the 2014 year end holidays, I hope to maybe travel to Tokyo, Japan.

Looking Back 2012, I wanted to travel to several countries which I sort of did!

For my 2013 resolution/wish, I want to travel more. Maybe to Australia, Japan, Korea, London or even New York if possible.
