It has been almost a month since I blogged about anything and fast-forwarded to yesterday. It is my 38th birthday!

Cure
My first celebration is with Li Xiang at Cure Restaurant. Cure is a One Michelin Star restaurant that serves Nua Irish cuisine by Andrew Walsh. Nua means new in Irish.

A screw punctured my tire last week, and because I did not drive the car for a few days, the tire pressure dropped to 90 kPa.

Since the car tire pressure sensor only kicks in after a while, we realized this after driving out onto the main road. Luckily, our tires are run-flat, so it is relatively safe to drive to the nearest petrol station and fill it back up to 220 kPa.

I bought this OEM adjustable aluminum swivel stand for my Google Nest Hub Max on Amazon.sg for S$56.24.

I am looking for a stand because I think the camera angle of the Google Nest Hub Max is too high. It needs to be tilted down a little to capture the surrounding better.

I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod, and I found the Yunteng Selfie Stick Tripod Stand on Lazada that cost only half the price. I got it at S$11.54.

Unlike the Xiaomi Mi Selfie Stick Tripod, the mobile phone holder of the Yunteng Selfie Stick Tripod Stand doesn’t rotate. So if you want to switch between portrait and landscape, you have to unscrew the holder, rotate it, and screw it back again.

I always wanted the Google Nest Hub Max but it is expensive, retailing at US$229 (S$309) and excluding shipping charges to Singapore.

I chanced upon the Google Nest Hub Max on Project KR on Lazada having a flash sale, and after collecting all the Lazada vouchers for their 2/2 sales, I paid S$255.60, which I think is a reasonable price.

LEGO Architecture Singapore 21057 is LEGO’s biggest Architecture skyline at 827 pieces and measuring 16 x 28 x 9 cm.

LEGO Architecture Singapore features the following famous landmarks in Singapore:

I wanted to get the Roborock Auto-Empty Dock after getting my Roborock S7. But it was always out of stock on both Shopee and Lazada.

Every day, I will check the stock of the Roborock Auto-Empty Dock on both Lazada and Shopee. My effort paid off when I noticed the stock came in on 29th December 2021 on Shopee. I immediately bought it and paid S$481.90 for it. I could not wait for any double-digit sale day because I have no idea whether it will be out of stock by then.

I backed the Sonoff NSPanel Smart Scene Wall Switch when it was a Kickstarter project back in October 2021.

My pledge level is the “Flash Sale – NSPanel,” where I paid HK$389 (S$68) for the Sonoff NSPanel, and shipping to Singapore cost me HK$94 (S$17). So in total, I paid HK$483 (S$85).

Stack Overflow The Key Macropad started out as a April Fools’ Day joke on Stack Overflow with the tag line, “Good artists copy. Great artists steal. Greatest artists copy, then paste.”

Then in September 2021, Stack Overflow partnered with Drop to make it a reality.
