Samsung GALAXY Note PRO (12.2” Display)

0 Comment
 06 Aug 2014   Posted by Cheryl Tay


The advancement of technology has definitely helped to make life a lot faster and more efficient. We can respond to emails immediately via our smartphones, we can hold an international conference without having to leave the country, we can capture the perfect moments easily with compact digital cameras and we need never miss a notification from our phone with the invention of smart watches. I could go on forever about how technology has impacted our lives.

But if you appreciate the benefits of technology, the Samsung Dream Exchange is something you have to take part in before it closes on 8 August 2014. All you need to do is submit how any Samsung product can help to fulfil your dream and you may just be one of the lucky winners. (More details at the end)

For my dream, I chose the Samsung GALAXY Note PRO (12.2” Display) to help me achieve my dream of working efficiently on the go, instead of having to lug my laptop around. The laptop battery lasts 2.5 hours at most and I have to wait to start it up each time, whereas with just a swipe the GALAXY Note PRO (12.2” Display) is active.

After using it for a month, here is my conclusion of the pros and cons of the GALAXY Note PRO (12.2” Display):

(+)
• Large screen size is awesome size for reading, watching videos and viewing photos
• Thin (7.99mm) and light (753g)
• Bright high-res screen with vibrant colours
• Remote PC feature works and is easy to configure
• Multi Window offers great multitasking
• Enough room to write with the S pen

(-)
• Felt weird using it to take photos
• Gets a little heavy after prolonged period of holding it
• Opening too many apps will cause it to lag a little
• Not entirely a workstation replacement

Login with your Twitter or Facebook account, and start posting your dream within the 125 characters allowed. Do remember to include the #DreamExchange hashtag!

    I SEE YOU! You are what you eat. I'm still drinkin I SEE YOU! You are what you eat. I'm still drinking Pruvit ketones twice a day for over a year now and it really does make a difference in my health, my body, my overall well-being. 

There's so much more to ketones than just fat loss yknow! If you're tired, sluggish, finding it hard to lose fat, struggling with your workouts, Pruvit ketones might help you. It's all about putting your body into ketosis (without needing to be on a ketogenic diet) so your body can use fat as fuel.

Slide into my DMs and I'll explain more!

For the next few days till 31 January, those who purchase 3 Challenge boxes with my link will get 5 sachets of limited edition flavours. Talk to you soon!

Moments like these are precious and I hope to spend as much time as I can with my parents - I like how I can impromptu jio them out and they are always game to try food or go gai gai with me!

    Half my right butt cheek is bruised now (it's turn Half my right butt cheek is bruised now (it's turning black and purple) from denting the ladder in yday's silly home incident, but I would like to take a moment to appreciate this solid (heavy) thicc butt of mine... because it got me out of a bad fall situation unscathed.

Jokes aside, I do occasionally feel like my butt is too big, has too many stretch marks and too much cellulite, and it makes me not want to wear a bikini. I'll see other butts and be like, how come they have such a nice peach shaped ass whereas mine just looks like an overstuffed pillow.

BUT I brush these thoughts away quickly because I love this butt of mine, flaws and all. Poor ladder though!

    After setting up @rockthenakedtruthsg, I started t After setting up @rockthenakedtruthsg, I started to learn more about body image and I came to a realisation that the more attractive one is, the more likely he/she is insecure about their body.

You would think otherwise because they have a 'great body' with skinny legs, thigh gap, small waist, "11" abs, nice boobs (for girls), but they are actually not as confident as you think they are.

People would die for these bodies, people are dieting and doing stupid things to get this kind of body, but these 'more attractive' people are actually insecure about the very body society desires.

Why insecure? I spoke to some of them and they cited reasons like: Afraid to lose the body because they feel their identity is tied to their body, afraid they may not look like that one day, afraid they do not look good enough.

So my hope is that everyone will come to accept their body no matter how it looks, and not be afraid to be judged. I mean, who gives these people a right to judge you?

Your body, own it!

    Had so much fun at the @grityardsg x @jyanyogastud Had so much fun at the @grityardsg x @jyanyogastudio collab event today where we got to do a combo of HIIT then acro yoga, an opportunity to try 2 types of workouts in one session, to see how fitness can be translated across different activities!

I wanted @jyanyoga to base me just for ONE photo, but she ended up sending me into several moves, which scared me a little but with the help of @branstands, I got into a few poses so now I have a few photos to share. Yay!

To more of such collabs!!!

Thank you to all who have continued to support me and believe in me, both in the personal and career space. The year has turned out differently from planned, but it still turned out good!

How has 2020 gone for you?
    Following my house revamp, it's now time for some Following my house revamp, it's now time for some deep cleaning. Since I've moved in 3.5 years ago, I've not done any deep cleaning so there is definitely work to be done heh.

The @surecleansg professional cleaning team came over to work on my home and I was so impressed with their cleaning! (You know you're upping your auntie level when you get excited seeing things get cleaned and get intrigued by these fancy cool machines.) You can swipe to see the before/after results!

For my bachelorette space of 600 sqft, they sent a team of 3 who worked on the place simultaneously. Altogether they took 4 hours for the Home Deep Cleaning and Disinfection; sofa and mattress cleaning are add-ons to the package. 

They also have their own products, like their own Germclean disinfectant that has silver ion technology and 24h residual disinfection and can last on surfaces for 30 days, which they used on my home AND you can purchase to use too.

Quote 'CHERYLTAYSG' to get 15% off with min. spend of $250 before GST. You can book on sureclean.com.sg!
