I have been using the ErgoEdge AmpDesk Standing Desk since June 2018, before all the COVID-19 and Work From Home (WFH) events. COVID-19 came in January 2020 and accelerated WFH. So when people WFH, they need a proper environment to work from home. And if they do have that, they will need a good work desk.

So that started a sudden surge in people buying standing desks. And I believe the demand for standing desks is still happening today because just when you thought it was over, Omicron came and said hello.

My MCO light switch in my Kitchen and Games Room decided to give up connecting to Z-Wave, so I replaced it with Sonoff T2UK Wi-Fi Smart Wall Switches.

I still find Wi-Fi is more reliable for me than Z-Wave thanks to my eero Wi-Fi System.

Bought the Samsung Evo Select 512GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 during Amazon Pre Black Friday sale. The sale is from Amazon.com, but it is available on Amazon.sg as well.

I got it for S$75.52 with free shipping to Singapore since I am an Amazon Singapore Prime member. The usual price is about S$120 on Amazon, and on Lazada, it is selling for S$174.99.

After getting another set of Nintendo Joy-Con, I need an easy way to charge all four Joy-Con.

I chanced upon the Dobe Joy-Con Charging Dock on Shopee that is retailing for S$12.90.

If you have a Nintendo Switch, you should be getting an additional two Joy-Con because many games can be played with four players.

So when friends come over, they can play together rather than relying on them to bring their own Joy-Con.

The last time Apple produced a folio case for the iPhone was for the iPhone 11. My mom loves folio cases. Sadly, for iPhone 13, Apple stops producing it. So the only way to get a folio case is from a third-party accessories maker like Moshi.

I got the Moshi Overture Case with Detachable Magnetic Wallet For iPhone 13 Pro that retails for S$77 for my mom. It comes in two colors, Black and Pink. I chose pink.

Moshi Arx Clear Slim Hardshell Case for iPhone 13 Pro Max is an alternative to the Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Clear Case with MagSafe that retails for S$62. This makes it slightly cheaper than Apple’s Clear Case of S$75.

Moshi Arx Clear Case protects the bottom of your phone, unlike the Apple Clear Case.

My first purchase of 11/11 Singles’ Day is the Roborock S7 to replace my iRobot Roomba 980 which is approaching its 5th birthday in two months time.

The official RRP for Roborock S7 is S$799. But during 11/11, there was a flash sale where the price dropped to S$699.90. After deducting all the vouchers, I got the price lowered to S$598.47.

I am still a novice when it comes to photography. So for all my products shots, they are being taken by my Canon PowerShot S95 point and shoot camera. The S95 has been with me for more than 11 years. Both the battery and the LCD screen started to show signs of aging. So I decided to retire it.

I then switch to my Sony NEX-3N which I bought seven years ago in 2014. However, the moment I turned it on after being left untouched for a few years (I stored it with the battery removed), the LCD screen showed multiple red lines. I mean, it is still usable, but it isn’t very pleasant to use it. I might also retire it eventually.
