Wonderboom: Small body, big sound
How many speakers does a person need? How about one more? With a couple of Google Home speakers in my home, I wasn’t really in need of another speaker but the Wonderboom changed my mind.

Himalaya Salt candy is so addictive!
Last October, I was given a pack of sports candy called Himalaya Salt. As it was new to me, I tried it and got hooked by its combination of mint, sweetness, sourness and saltiness. While there was a longing for more, I forgot about it over time — until my daughter told me about a…

My first trip to the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok left an impression that says, “been there, done that”. I did not even want to consider venturing again to the massive maze of more than 15,000 stalls. It was hot, humid and when it poured, the place was flooded. The cheap T-shirts were cheaper…

Second chance for Garmin

Fraudulent iTunes charges
Channel News Asia reported yesterday that dozens of Apple customers have had hundreds of dollars each deducted from their bank accounts for purchases they did not make on their iTunes accounts.
