How much is this table lamp? Other than variety colors to choose from, any special benefit?

I believe it cost $229. What I like about this lamp is

1) Touch sensitive on/off & brightness control. Something like Koncept but because Koncept control is the lamp body, you tend to move the lamp when you adjust brightness. For Philips, it is just 1 finger control.

2) The light coming from the LED is comfortable. Something like the 3M polarizing light. But look much chio

I don't really like the light coming from Koncept.

Lastly, I think this is the newest table lamp from Philips. So latest technology :sport-smiley-004:

Received some stuff from Hopshopgo today. These are the items that Amazon don't ship direct to Singapore so I had to use 3rd party.

Leifheit Profi Compact Mop Press

I had been looking for this in Singapore when I saw this online. I find this better than the set being sold locally because the local set is too big and too ex. The above set only cost me $30 plus USD and it is compact size. Very suitable for my small HDB.

Takeya Flash Chill Lemonade Maker

I also cant find this in Singapore. Taka and Robinson had the tea making pitcher.

Perfect for creating fresh squeezed lemonade at home, this Takeya Flash Chill lemonade maker set features a chilling and serving juice pitcher, along with a screw-on juicer attachment for juicing directly into pitcher, plus a juicing mat. The pitcher is made of clear AcraGlass that is BPA-free, as well as stain and odor proof. AcraGlass is lightweight and features glass-like clarity, yet is more durable than glass. The airtight lemon yellow colored twist-top lid locks in freshness and flavor, and the silicone soft grip handle allows for easy pouring and transporting. The juicing mat ensures the pitcher stays in place on the counter while juicing, and is made of skid-free silicone. This vessel has a 66-ounce capacity, stores in fridge door or on its side, is leak-proof and quite visually appealing.

Wusthof Come-Apart Kitchen Shears

Wusthof 5558-1 Come-Apart Kitchen Shears

Why I buy this because reviews are good.So I try lor.

These powerful 8-inch kitchen shears cut food, flowers, paper, cardboard, even carpet. They're balanced in the hand and work equally well for right-handers and left-handers. Blades formed from high-carbon stainless steel curve inward so they meet in only one place at any given position and cutting action is smooth and exact. One blade's serrations prevent slippage. A plastic cap on the screw securing the blades can be lifted so the shears can be taken apart for resharpening. Steel-tooth insets in the rugged synthetic handles twist open bottle and jar caps. The shears are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing better protects the blade edges.

I received the Kohler sink today. The forwarder was complaining the parcel was heavy.... :bleah:

I had to remove the 2 back seat to fit it into my car.. haa.... I had a hard time carrying up the stairs... alone....

But the joy of unwrapping... priceless....

The state which it arrived in.

The protection of the sink. Actually I expect more protection. Like the Kraus since this is a premium brand.

My beautiful 1 metre Kohler Honed White sink :dribble: :dribble:

Today during lunch time I went to sign my Reno loan from RHB. Cheapest I found so far. Loan $30K and pay back $906 in 36 months.

Since I'm already at Sim Lim Tower to sign, I also bought my step down transformer 230V to 110V for my Vornado fans.

I am currently running the fan at full speed to see whether the transformer can hold... SO far so good....

The transformer I bought.

I think I also post the site I bought from in case anyone interested.
