Circles.Life is a Singapore-based consumer brand of Liberty Wireless. It is founded by three entrepreneurs, Rameez Ansar, Abhishek Gupta and Adeel Najam who had previously worked for Temasek Holdings, McKinsey, StarHub and other companies.

It is “sort of” the 4th telco in Singapore if you consider Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MNVO) a telco.

I bought the Anker PowerLine+ Lightning Cable (0.9m) from Amazon for US$13.99 (S$19).

It doesn’t ship to Singapore directly, and hence I have to ship it to my freight forwarder, HopShopGo, and get them to shop to Singapore for me.

Bought the TP-Link 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch (TL-SG108) from Challenger at VivoCity for S$43 (member’s price: S$39).

This is my first TP-Link product and I will be using this switch for my new house.

Bought the Apple Magic Mouse 2 for S$119 because my old Magic Mouse had spoilt.

I am able to connect my old Magic Mouse to my iMac but when I move the mouse, the cursor still stays put. Tried changing batteries and even using a different Mac, both method didn’t work which makes me conclude that it is spoilt for good.

I have submmited a request for this site to publish Facebook Instant Articles since last Thursday and it finally got approved today (despite it says 24-48 hours review process)

After the announcement in last October, Apple Pay is finally in Singapore and the first credit card that supports it is Amercian Express.

Support for VISA and MasterCard will be available soon.

The Klipsch Reference X6i was announced in 12th November 2015 in the US and has been available in Singapore since March 2016.

You can get the Klipsch X6i at the usual gadget stores like Courts or Challenger or at Tat Chuan Acoustic Online Store. The official retail price is S$329. It is available in two colors, White and Black.

I backed the PINE A64 on Kickstarter on 17th January 2016. The project was funded on 23rd January 2016 after raising a total of US$1,731,466 out of their initial goal of US$31,416 from 36,781 backers.

I chose the US$29 reward level and shipping to Singapore cost another US$12. So in total, I paid US$41 (S$58).
