If you are looking for a USB powered computer vacuum cleaner, look no further than the HD537 USB Mini Vacuum Cleaner. Using this gadget is simple enough; simply connect the vacuum cleaner to your laptop’s or computer’s USB port and switch it on. There are 2 switch levels - the first is to switch on the LED light (handy to light up the dark crevices on your keyboard and the innards of your computer) and the second level to activate the vacuum cleaner.

The HD537 vacuum cleaner comes with 2 cleaning attachments; the first being the bristle brush and the second being the flexible rubber that can be squeezed to a desired size (excellent to suck dirt and dust in between keyboard keys). There is even a “High Power” button to increase the suction power should you require it.

I’ve learnt this saying from someone who is high up on the corporate ladder: “In order to be successful, one has to look successful“. The more I thought about it, the more I observed my surroundings, the truer the saying seems to be in the corporate world. The saying is hitting hard on what is subtly known as packaging - otherwise, why would man go for facials and put on light make-ups? As for womens clothes, I really like seeing them in business suits - where the cotton shirt meets the pressed trousers and a matching jacket to complete the smart dressing.

My wife was recently promoted into a managerial position where she now leads a team of engineers. As she took on the role, many of her teammates look up to her and takes her as a benchmark for success. The more my wife sinks into her new position, the more I noticed that she changed almost her entire wardrobe to business clothings compared to the past (when she was an engineer technie), where she would dress very casually. Besides her clothings, she has added a few pairs of working shoes and is generally more conscious about her appearance.

She attributed this change to several factors including peer compatibility, business acquaintances matching, company representation and corporate acceptance. A radical change like this reinforces the saying that I’ve learnt - “In order to be successful, one has to look successful“.

Some of you may think that I am out of my mind writing about Christmas in the month of September. It all started when I was over at Ikano Power Center this morning with my family and we hopped over to the adjacent building where IKEA is located. We did a little window shopping there and it was at a particular section where home accessories can be found that I saw the many candles put up for sale there.

A bright flash of light appeared over my head when out of the sudden, I thought about Christmas. Not sure why or how it happened but I have a hunch that my brain is telling me that candles are associated to Christmas. Coming to think of it, I never really had candles during Christmas - it was always the same Christmas tree with flickering lights and shiny balls decor.

I’m going to do something different for this year’s Christmas, I’ll add candles to the whole decoration theme; scented candles would be a great addition as it not only provide the lighting but also the aroma of sweetness and relaxation.  Time for me to start planning and buying the candles as I dislike last minute purchases expecially during festive seasons.
