Bellroy Note Sleeve scores on slimness
I’ve had a fascination with wallets since I was a kid. From plastic wallets in my childhood days to leather ones today, I have used, lost and worn out more than I can count. And I am not one to switch wallets frivolously. I will use it till it’s no longer presentable — or in…

One is better when it comes to frequent flyer programme
Few things get the adrenaline flowing more than flying — whether it’s for work or pleasure. Airlines have mastered the art of customer service by treating travellers differently depending on the class of ticket. How often people feel like second or even third class during check in or boarding time. The queue is long and…

Highs and lows of backing Kickstarter projects
Saw a project on Kickstarter that got your adrenaline flowing? Admittedly, I have felt that way many times.

Palladium World: Underrated but a gem in its own right
In a city with so many shopping malls, it’s understandable why Palladium World does not ring a bell. The mall is diagonally across the road from the world famous Platinum Fashion Mall.

Mini but mighty
Having used and enjoyed the Google Home for several months, I was intrigued when the mini version of the smart speaker was announced last October.
