Belkin Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag

As the product name suggests, Belkin Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag, is a holder for AirTag and it comes with a key ring.

Belkin doesn’t sell the Secure Holder with Key Ring for AirTag in Singapore; at least I haven’t come across it. The closest I could find is the Belkin Secure Holder with Strap for AirTag which Apple Singapore is selling for S$19.15. In case it is not apparent, one is a key ring, and the other is a strap. The holder itself is the same.

Looking Back 2024

2024 is the inflation year and is the year I turned 40. Everything went up this year. GST went from 8% to 9% in Singapore. In 2023, GST was increased from 7% to 8%. In hindsight, it might be better to increase from 7% to 9% straightaway rather than break it up into 2 years. The increase in GST twice worsens the inflation.

Gadget
Probably the most interesting gadget I bought in 2024 got to be the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer.

Native Union Voyage 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger

After solving the problem of charging my gadgets, there is only one problem: charging my Apple Watch. Since there is no Apple Watch charger at Big-C, I can only get it the next day.

I wanted to get the Apple Watch Magnetic Fast Charger to USB-C Cable (1 m) from Apple Store in Central World which is directly opposite my hotel, Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong. But it is way more expensive in Thailand than in Singapore. The official retail price of that cable is TH฿1,290 (S$52), and in Singapore, it is only S$39. So, I aborted the idea.

Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank

During 11/11 singles sales day, I bought the Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank from Shopee for S$74.90. The usual retail price is S$89.90. You can also get it from Lazada.

I bought this Sharge Icemag 2 to replace my Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, which shows signs of aging given the battery capacity is not a lot to begin with. It can no longer give me an additional 40% charge. The percentage is about 20% now, so there is no point in bringing it out anymore.

Anker Prime Charger 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger

My one and only Black Friday haul. I bought the Anker Prime Charger 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger on Shopee for S$162.29. The usual retail price is about S$222.99. You could also get it from Lazada.

Since I have been shopping on Shopee quite often this quarter, I decided, after much procrastination, to sign up for a MariBank credit card and a MariBank savings account. You can use my referral code if you are in the same situation as me, 9WNW69AK. You will get S$10, and I will get S$10.

Apple Watch 49mm Natural Titanium Milanese Loop

Apple Watch 49mm Natural Titanium Milanese Loop retails for S$279 and if you are on Apple Corporate Employee Purchase Program (EPP), the price drops to S$250.70, essentially giving about 10% discount. Sadly, neither Lazada nor Shopee-authorized Apple stores sell it; otherwise, it will be cheaper than EPP.

There are two colors to the Apple Watch 49mm Titanium Milanese Loop: Natural Titanium and Black Titanium. Each color is available in three different sizes.

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer Review

Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer is probably an impulse buy because I saw an offer that is too good to resist over at r/RayBanStories.

Using coupon code 3008997, I got a 35% discount on the Ray-Ban Meta Wayfarer on the official ray-ban.com website. The discount varies depending on what model you choose.
