The Satechi Aluminum USB-C Multi-Port Adapter is retailing for US$89.99 (S$125).

I bought it together with the Satechi Aluminum USB-C Micro/SD Card Reader.

I was looking for a USB-C micro/SD card reader and chanced upon SanDisk Extreme Pro SD UHS-II Card USB-C Reader on the Apple Store and it retails for S$75.

It is very expensive and can only read SD card.

Last week, I went to Sapporo, Japan, and while I was doing some gadgets shopping there, I chanced upon the Elecom iPad Pro 10.5″ Clear Back Cover at Yodobashi Multimedia Sapporo Store.

It is retailing for JP¥3,110 (JP¥2,880 before tax), but if you spend more than JP¥5,000, it is tax-free. On top of that, if you pay by VISA credit card, you get an additional 5% discount.

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ is my fourth iPad.

My first iPad was the iPad back in 2010, followed by iPad 2 in 2011 and finally iPad Air in 2013.

The Apple iPad Pro 10.5″ Smart Cover is available in two variants, leather for S$98 and polyurethane for S$68.

The leather Smart Cover is available in four colors: Saddle Brow, Taupe, Midnight Blue and Black.

The Apple 61W USB‑C Power Adapter is retailing for S$98.

This is my first purchase from the new Apple Orchard Road.

I have been buying a lot of USB-C devices recently to prepare for this day.

This coming 1st September 2017, marks my third year in Tech in Asia. Technically, I started work before my official start date, because the previous guy left in August 2014 and I have to do the takeover before that.

The Adidas Originals x PORTER 2 Way Waist/Shoulder Bag retails for S$259 on Dover Street Market Singapore.

It is S$10 more expensive than the Adidas Originals x PORTER NMD C1 Shoes which retails for S$249.

I owned 2 pairs of Adidas NMD shoes. I got the Adidas Originals NMD R1 Blue from Hong Kong, and the Adidas Originals NMD R1 Onix-Bold Onix-Core Black from Munich, Germany.

Thanks to my brother, I have been using Head Porter bags since 2009. He got it from Japan, when he was travelling with my parents.
