Instead of getting a projector stand for my LUMOS Auro Home Projector which is more expensive, I decided to get a projector tray instead and make use of my existing tripod.
I bought this OEM projector tray that can be mounted on a tripod on Lazada for S$14.87. It ships from China, and hence shipping is an additional cost of S$2.20.
Another companion product to the Satechi USB-C Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock is the Satechi USB-C Apple AirPods Wireless Charging Dock.

Circles.Life launched its eSIM service last week to both new and existing customers. To be precise, new customers can apply for Circles.Life eSIM from 21st July 2020, while existing customers can switch to eSIM from 23rd July 2020.
I have issues finding out how to switch from my Circles.Life Physical SIM to Circles.Life eSIM as the UI was not intuitive on its website and mobile app.
Purchasing Decisions
Before getting an Omnidesk, I was using a S$60 table purchased from Taobao, which surprisingly valued for money since I used it without any issues for three years. One of the major factors that spurred me into looking at a height-adjustable table was to have a better posture as I have to be in front of my monitors for an extended period. This is especially critical in this COVID-19 pandemic since I have to work from home (WFH) for the rest of this year.
Omnidesk was my top pick, as I have heard excellent reviews from my peers that are currently using it. Initially, I was guessing that Omnidesk actually OEM their table and insert their brand name on it, but after clarification with Omnidesk, it turns out that they do not OEM their tables. Omnidesk designs the specifications of their desks while working with a reputable manufacturer to ensure that these desks are built according to the required specifications right down to the wire. This was a major plus point to me as I am not just paying for the brand name of Omnidesk but also the design, quality, and R&D of the desks.
Of course, I need to get a case for my AirPods Pro, but I wanted it to cost less than S$10.
I discovered a shop named Veticore on Lazada which specialized in AirPods / AirPods Pro cases.
iShopChangi
I got to know iShopChangi People’s Choice Deals through their Facebook post. They have advertised the AirPods Pro to be S$295. The recommended retail price (RRP) of AirPods Pro is S$379 on Apple.com/sg.
I camped on 30th June, and when midnight arrives, nothing. I replied to their Facebook post and went to bed. They responded the next day, mentioning the sale is at noon sharp. Again, noon arrives, nothing.
