Huawei Nano Memory Card 256GB

Due to the limited memory space in my Huawei Mate 20 pro (only 128 GB) and I like to take pictures a lot, which I don't think 128GB is enough for them. I have decided to purchase the Huawei Nano Memory Card 256GB to extend the memory space in my phone.

When I received the memory card, I was amazed how small is the memory card compare to the micro one.

Singapore Airlines Schedule Change: A380 suites Downgrade

Airlines normally releases award seat at different time, therefore we normally booked the award travel far in advance. I have booked Singapore Airlines A380 new suites to Hong Kong, however they have downgraded my flight to the same A380 but with the old suites. This is a massive sadness as the reason of this hong kong trip was to try out the new A380 suites.
