With regards to LTE networks in Singapore, for the iPhone SE model we are getting the A1723 (GSM).

A Pringles Party Speaker is a speaker that you place on top of your Pringles can for extra acoustic effect. It has been designed and manufactured for Pringles.

Each Pringles Party Speaker is powered by 3x AAA batteries (not included) and you can daisy chain multiple Pringles Party Speaker to form a long chain of speakers. There are several designs available but unfortunately you can’t choose them.

I took leave yesterday for my birthday and basically it is an errand day.

Started the day by going to Singtel Shop at Comcenter to change Li Xiang’s plan to SIM Only.

Daniel Wellington is sort of the watch brand for “hipster” right now.

I was seeded with two Daniel Wellington watches but I decided to let Li Xiang have it because I already own an Apple Watch and Moto 360 (Second Generation) and hence I don’t foresee myself wearing the watches.

Mediacorp is transmitting all free-to-air channels in digital format since December 2013 under the DVB-T2 television standard.

Bought the Samsung Series 5 55″ SUHD Smart LED TV (UA55JS7200) from Best Denki at VivoCity on 20th February 2016. Best Denki is having their Fortune Sale for Chinese New Year. This television is for my new house that will be ready in end April 2016.

When the television was launched in April 2015, the price was S$3,699 but now it dropped to S$2,949. For the fortune sale, there is a 8% discount (capped at S$200) and hence the final price of the television is S$2,749. It comes with a free Samsung 320W 2.1 Ch Soundbar (J551) worth S$549 and I paid extra S$50 for the wall mount.

The Samsung Galaxy S7 4G+ and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge 4G+ will be officially available in Singapore from Saturday, 12th March 2016.

In Singapore, both the S7 and S7 edge will come in only one size which is 32GB because it now comes with expandable memory slot via microSD (up to 200GB).
