First Impression

The LUMOS Tablet Bundle came in a solid white box with a colourful print of the tablet. The box is solid, just like any high-end tablet. When I opened the box, I was welcomed by the sight of LUMOS Tablet. To my surprise, it looks slick, sturdy, yet it feels light. The next layer of the box contains the keyboard, tablet protective case, mouse, stylus, adapter, charging cable, and mini manual on how to get started.

TABLET for different generations

For the Adults

Most of the time, I use my tablet for entertainment, such as watching Netflix and YouTube. For Netflix, the quality of the display and sound are very good. The movies and shows are very clear.

Netflix on LUMOS Tablet

When I watched highlights of my sports team, I initially noticed that the picture can be a bit blurry. However, this is not the device’s fault; you need to go to the settings buttons on YouTube and select High Picture Quality, instead of Auto.

For the Young Ones

With Kid’s Education / Learning Apps such as YT Kids and Kids Space installed in LUMOS Tablet, I can lend the tablet to my nephew or nieces to entertain themselves without worrying that they will access unwanted content.

LUMOS Tablet Bundle for Work

LUMOS Tablet Bundle comes complete with keyboard and stylus, which transform it into a workstation, allowing me to access and reply to more complex emails on the go.

Working on LUMOS TABLET Bundle

To access and edit documents, whether in Word, Spreadsheet, or Presentation, I can use WPS Office for Android. Now, I don’t need to bring my laptop everywhere I go.

Screen Cast

This is one of the safest ways to watch your Netflix on a bigger screen away from home. Have you ever had a feeling that you forgot to Log Out after accessing your Nexflix when you are staying at a hotel? I have! And the hoops that I have to jump through to do a remote log out and change the Netflix passwords are not a pleasant experience.

Doing Screen Cast with LUMOS Tablet

With the Screen Cast function in LUMOS Tablet, you can watch your videos on a huge screen in the room. The best part is that you don’t need to remember to Log Out of your account. Once you leave the room with your tablet, it is basically disconnected. YES!!

Aftersales Service

LUMOS is a Singapore home-grown brand that started with offering high spec home cinema projectors that are best-value in the market and have expand their product offerings to Tablets a well. LUMOS is a very reputable brand loved by all – customers, celebrities and influencers with thousands of 5-star reviews. LUMOS also known for extremely good and fast aftersales service, which is very important when we purchase things online.

CBK Verdict

LUMOS Tablet Bundle is a value-for-money purchase. The 10.1 screen is large for a tablet and with its 4k supported resolution delivers a clear image. On top of that, access to WiFi and 5G connectivity allows streaming to Netflix and YouTube seamlessly. For price from $149, it is a steal!!!

Thank you very much LUMOS Projector team, for sending the LUMOS Tablet Bundle for review.

MYODIVE SONICTM MASSAGE GUN [PRODUCT REVIEW]

A massage gun is one of the best equipment to have when your muscle is feeling sore and in need of quick relief. I like a good body massage, but sometimes it is just not practical to spend 60 minutes on a massage table when only a small area in your body needs to be “tenderised”.

MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN

The team from MYODIVE offered to send MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN for me to review. After a quick check on their product, I agreed to the offer. I purchased a budget massage gun previously and was unhappy with the result. The budget massage gun feels heavy and the vibration only touches the skin’s surface instead of going deep into the tissue. The battery also does not last very long, usually I need to recharge it after 30 minutes of use.

In the box

So, what do I like about MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN

· SeamlessTrack™ German Brushless Motor Technology

· The premium feel. It is made with best-in-class materials and parts.

· It is very quiet, just like the sound of my standing fan and it delivers a great power. The technical term is arguably the highest power to sound and power to weight ratio of any massage gun on the market, Myodive Sonic™’s incredible engineering enables the massage gun to extract an astonishing 18kg of force below 45 db.

· It is ultra-light 800g of net weight. I can hold on to it for a long time without getting your wrists sore.

· It comes with 5 speeds, 1300 up to 3200 RPM

· Long battery life, up to 6 hours working time.

In the pack, MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN comes with 5 types of Attachment Heads. They are the Ball Head, Fork Head, Bullet Head, Flat Head and Air Cushion Head. Please refer to the picture below for the type of muscle. I like those with wider surfaces, like Ball Head and Air Cushion Head because I have lower pain tolerance.

Which area do I use MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN most:

1. Neck and Shoulder. Working on my laptop over a long period, I easily get stiffness around my neck and shoulder. Other than stretching, the MYODIVE helped me to ease the stubborn stiffness during the long break.

Shoulder Massage

2. My lower back. Another area that gets stiff after a long period on the chair. It is hard to reach this area on my own, so I need LD’s help with this.

Lower Back Massage

3. My thigh. This helps to reduce my post-exercise muscle soreness.

Thigh

So, how much does this great gadget cost? The regular price is $284 and it is currently on sale at $199. This includes 30-day risk-free trial, 1.5 year warranty, free shipping in Singapore and free return & exchanges within 30 days. You can purchase MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN from their website or click here.

CBK Verdict: I am loving it. It is light, powerful, easy to use and it looks sleek. If you are looking for a massage gun, you must strongly consider MYODIVE SONIC^TM MASSAGE GUN!

Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress [PRODUCT REVIEW]

Sleep is the most important part of our body’s rejuvenation system. Therefore, choosing the right mattress to get that solid and undisturbed good night’s rest is of the utmost importance. We want to wake up refreshed and rejuvenated, instead of going through your day like a zombie.

Two years ago, my Mother-in-Law bought Origin Hybrid Mattress, recommended by her sister. She was very happy with that purchase and she still uses the mattress today. With her chronic back pain, she had not once complained and slept very well. When the invitation came to do a product review Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress, I did not hesitate to accept the offer.

How & Where to Buy.

I ordered the Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress the same way as other customers purchase a product from Origin. Go to https://originmattress.com.sg/, choose the mattress and size that you want, choose any add-ons (if needed) and add to cart plus. Don’t forget to tick on the Mattress Disposal Service (if needed). The check-out process is seamless, just like when you do your other online shopping, key in your details, choose the delivery timing and make the payment. Once they process my order, I receive an email with the order confirmation.

Most people will ask, are you sure that buying a mattress online is a good idea? Especially mattress is a very subjective matter and you might want to try and feel it before you purchase. But not to worry, you can experience Origin products before you purchase by visiting Origin showroom at Ravago, 36 Kaki Bukit Place, #01-01 Singapore 416214. It is open daily from 11.00 – 17.00.

To ease your mind further, every purchase of Origin Mattress comes with 120 Night Trial + 100% Money Back Guarantee and Free Return & Delivery. Yup, you get up to 120 nights from the date of the delivery to try out the mattress and return the product if you are not satisfied with the product. 120 nights is sufficient for you to test and adjust to the new mattress, and make the final decision. The best part, if you decide to return the mattress, there is no question asked and you get 100% Money Back Guarantee.

The Delivery

The Delivery

The delivery person come at the allocated time, between 1 to 6 pm. He brought up the mattress, packed in the Origin Blue Colour Box. I was quite surprised at how the king-size Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress rolled into a quarter size and fit into the blue box.

Usually, the delivery person will unpack the mattress and set it up for you. In my case, I decided to do the unpacking myself, as I need to take some photos and videos. Once he brought the mattress to my room, he helped me to clear my old mattress. Since he is on his own, I helped him in rolling the old mattress for removal.

Ready to Unpack

Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress – King, 183 x 190 x 35cm (63kg)

The Unboxing and Testing

Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress – King, 183 x 190 x 35cm (63kg). My first impression when I try to carry the box on my own, it is very HEAVY!! LD and I have to put our muscles into it when we carry the box onto the bed frame. We then removed the blue box, aligned the mattress and cut through the 2 layers of plastic. Once we cut the second plastic, the Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress starts to expand.

Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress rolled

Once the Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress is unpacked, we have to let it settle for a few hours. We slept on it for the first night, and with the knowledge that the mattress had not fully expanded and settled. The feeling for the 1st night is the Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress feels comfortable, but the edge feels a bit soft. It took us a while before we could catch a good night’s sleep for the night. The firmness level for the first night is 7 of 10.

Day 1 - Straight After Unpacking

Day 1 - Straight After Unpacking

Fourteen days later, we have experienced the full benefit of Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress. The mattress provided our bodies with the support they needed, adjusting to our body shape. No matter which positions we slept in, it felt very comfortable and supported. So far, we have been waking up refreshed and without any backache and body ache.

Day 15 - Expanded and Settled

LD also enjoys her sleep and she has not been complaining when I twist and turn at night. She always told me she got woken up when I turned like a sea lion, now she doesn’t feel the big wave when I do my big turn at night.

Day 15 - Expanded and Settled

Another benefit that I found from Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress is that the temperature of the mattress is cooler. I can tell the difference as my pillow feels warmer compared to the mattress. The firmness level of the mattress has become 8 of 10.

Day 15 - Expanded and Settled

CBK Verdict: I am glad that I chose the Origin LumbarCloudTM Mattress. It provided us with comfortable sleep and wake up rejuvenated without any ache. Exceptional!! For those looking to buy a Luxury Mattress, go and check out Origin Mattress. The quality and price are just outstanding. Cheers!!

Modori Sodam Collection - Makes Your Dream Kitchen A Reality [MEDIA DROP]

The challenge that every household face in Singapore kitchen is space. For those who cook, you will know that in an Asian kitchen, you will need different types of equipment. Wok, pots, frying pans and even serving bowls. To store all this cookware, you will need lots of space.

Sodam Cookware Set + Glass Pot Lid 22cm

Recently, we received a Media Drop for Sodam Collection from Modori Team. Together with the Sodam Cookware Set (18cm Cooking Pot + 18cm Multi-Use Pot Lid + 22cm Cooking Pot + 24cm Frying Pan + Multifunction Handle), and we also receive Glass Pot Lid 22cm.

The plus points of Sodam Cookware Set:

1. Stackable, fitting neatly into any cramped cabinet, save space

2. 5 layers of advanced, Xtrema™ Non-Stick Ceramic Coating (The Xtrema™ Ceramic Coating provides advanced non-stick frying capabilities with high durability)

3. Lead-free, cadmium-free, PFOA, PFAS-free.

4. It can be used on all stove-tops: Induction cooker, gas stove, heating plate, oven and dishwasher (Note: It should not be used in the microwave)

Sodam Cookware

We give the Sodam Cookware a test run for our Sunday roast dinner. For the 24cm Frying Pan, we decided to do a roast pumpkin. Since the Multifunction Handle is removable, we just put the pan inside the oven. It saves us extra washing and an additional roasting tray. To add charred to the pumpkin, we torch the pumpkin inside the Sodam frying pan. The pumpkin turned out very well and there is no charred mark on the pan. The washing part is also seamless, as those sticky parts just come out easily using a soft sponge.

Next up is the 18cm Cooking Pot and Multi-use Pot Lid. LD and I decided to try Gyeranjjim (Korean Steam Egg). We just prep the ingredients, start the fire, put everything into the pot and just cover it. We manage to get the eggs to rise and the texture similar to those we get in the Korean restaurant, although not the shape. We’re very happy with the outcome and with a few more practice runs, we should be able to perfect it. When we finished the gyeranjjim, we notice no eggs sticking to the bottom of the pot comparing to the traditional claypot that used in the restaurants. Very pleased with the results and cleaning the pot was a breeze.

Sodam 18cm Cooking Pot

The Multifunction Handle is easy to use. I was able to master it in three tries. The best part is once you get it locked, the handle grip on to the frying pan or cooking pot firmly and not shaky at all, even when they are fully loaded.

Sodam 18cm Cooking Pot - Full Load

We also test it by reheating Lamb and Vegetable soup. The soup was cooked in a jiffy and there was almost no residue stuck on the pot. The 18cm cooking pot comes with a pouring spout, so you can pour the soup with no or minimum spillage. It also functions as a vent hole to prevent pressure from building up in the pot.

Sodam 18cm Cooking Pot with Multifunction Handle

Once we are finished with the cooking and cleaning, the Sodam Cookware is easily stackable and easily stored. We tried a few different ways and this one seems to fit our style nicely.

Stacking - Option 1

Stacking - Option 2

Modori Cutting Board

Cutting Board is one of the most important items in the kitchen. However, it is also one of the tools that we need to keep checking or replacing most often, especially when it has a lot of cutting marks. Germs can easily get stuck in it and we need to ensure that there is no cross-contamination.

The team at Modori has created Modori Cutting Board made of TPU materials with high-quality flexibility and recovery power. It does not leave knife marks and scars easily and prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. You can easily sterilize it by pouring boiling water over it. (Suggest sanitizing within 10 seconds)

Modori Cutting Board Set

Modori Cutting Boards

We started using it a few weeks back. Till today, we still haven’t found knife/cutting marks on the cutting boards. Don’t forget to use separate cutting boards for fresh and raw ingredients, to avoid cross-contamination.

Modori Cutting Board - Cutting Vegetables

When I was cutting my roast lamb, I notice the meat did not slide around easily. The TPU materials provide good resistance and are less slippery compared to my other cutting boards.

Modori Cutting Board - No Knife Marks

Modori Cutting Board also comes with a metal stand. The colours of the cutting boards and the stand are very neutral, it easily blend into any colour or design of your kitchen. The stand will ensure there will be enough space between each cutting board and it will dry up properly.

Modori Cutting Boards with Stand

They have included the handmade ceramic magnet with this round and it can be used on the cutting board stand or your fridge doors to hold up any paper recipes.

Modori Silicone Ice Ball Maker

It is time to up your mixologist game and curates your own cold beverages with Modori Silicone Ice Ball Maker. It is made with food-grade silicone, it is 100% durable and can withstand temperatures from -40°C to 250°C. It is made in Korea with a KCC safety certificate, and SGS certificate silicone.

Boiling in Hot Water to Sanitize

In addition to making ice cubes and drinks, it's actually great for making solid foods, storing baby purees, making flavoured jellies, storing garlic, chopped onions, broth, and more.

Ice Ball

Ice Ball with Drinks

Since we hardly freeze our cooked foods, we decided to stick with ice balls. One is made of water, and the other is made from milk.

Milk Ice Ball with Espresso Shot

CBK Verdict: Totally love the Sodam Cookware. It is non-stick, due to The Xtrema™ Ceramic Coating, easy to clean, easily stored and stackable as well. The best part is when I do my searing and roasting on the same frying pan seamlessly thanks to the Multifunction Handle.

The Modori Cutting Board is an essential in your kitchen’s daily usage. It is strong, durable and does not leave any cutting marks on it. Meanwhile, Modori Silicone Ice Ball Maker will give you more reasons to create your cold drinks. Not essential, but good to have if you got extra space in the freezer. Cheers!!
