Next up, customizable fun with changeable designs!

Dell Inspiron 14R, 15R and 17R – starting from S$899

Inspiron 14R

Inspiron 15R

Inspiron 17R

Get a couple of changeable lids, snap on whichever suits the mood and go on about with yours (your mom’s) day.

On a side note, the 14R was what I ordered for my aunt recently, when she was stuck overseas without a laptop.
Although a basic spec laptop (the one with her), it suits most that doesn’t require too much functionality, just daily usage web usage and MS office.

And not forgetting, for the stay home moms and whole family…

Dell Inspiron One 2320 – starting from S$1,099

The all in one desktop with touch screen technology, will allow ease of use, even without a mouse.
It helps reduce space usage and would be a great piece for family fun

This will be one of few times, you’ll see me say / write – cost equates quality.

Sure, its price might seem too much for some, especially when it comes to a phone cover / casing.
Though at a higher than usual cost but it’s definitely an unique product to own, for iPhone users and photographers.

Lightweight case, clips nicely on to a iPhone 4S, with a pop out side for strap attachment.
Allowing users to connect it to its strap and on to tripods, giving one stability for photo snapping or hands free (when wearing case + strap on the neck).

Mock leather cover slip-proof the phone, more grip when placed on smooth surface and feels nicer when on palm.
And if you are like me, who loves spin turning your phone (do not try it, unless you are willing to damage phone), the mock leather makes it near impossible to miss (exclude ultimate butter fingers)

The soft and smooth strap allows users to wear their phones or cameras with comfort and is able to handle up to 15kg weight.
Well I’ve hooked it up to my DSLR and it’s able to handle the 2+kg (50D + 18-200mm), while stretching the strap a little.
I’m sure you wouldn’t want to overstretch it, so hook it up to your compact cameras or micro 4/3 instead.

Casing removal tip:
1) casing only: start from the top left hand corner and work your way down the left, to remove phone.
2) casing with strap: attached strap to the case tightly, press down lightly on the attached area (right side) to loosen phone from case.

SRP S$69.90 (casing) and $29.90 (strap), from Digitalhub.

Thoughts:

I was there before the official opening, so the selection and photos are a little different, compared to others.
Which means, to go back soon and try the new items and crabs (didn’t eat any) =P (hint to bf)

The variety of seafood, cooked food and appetizers were good and fresh… (loved the sashimi and sushi)
Nice selection of desserts too, yummy cheesecakes and cream puffs =D~

The cheese fondue was mine and Amanda’s favorite, heh…
I think i dipped almost everything (including the grilled sausages and beef)  into it, just to finish the dip =P

And I noticed that they provided each item with its own serving utensil and staff ensured that it doesn’t mix / contaminate, which is definitely a plus point.
Friendly and efficient serving staff, on bringing grilled items, drinks and clearing dishes

As for improvements – it would be nice to have more selection of soups and not over grill some of the food items (was a little dry).
