Making use of TraceTogether app for SafeEntry to check in faster

This post is to help share the latest update in TraceTogether app which has the SafeEntry feature built in. This helps to speed up the time taken to scan the QR code before we enter a shopping mall or shops while we are out during this COVID-19 period. 

Most of us used to scan the SafeEntry QR code via a QR reader or mobile phone camera app which would then open a website for us to input our contact details, before we click "check in". 

With the use of the TraceTogether app, our details are already saved. View the 10secs video for a sample of how the easy and fast it is to use the SafeEntry feature in the app. This would help to reduce the waiting time to gain entry.

Hedwig [LEGO 75979] building experience

Happy Boy has surprised Curious Girl with a lego set on one of her favourite characters from the Harry Potter series! That is the dear old owl, Hedwig (🦉: hoot hoot~). Hedwig was Harry's close companion since Year 1 of Hogwarts and her snowy white feathers made her stood out amongst all the other magical pets in Hogwarts. She was also a heroic pet as it saved Harry from a killing curse. Hence, this was a specially enjoyable build for myself because it reminds me of the character from my treasured childhood novel series.

More on the measurements of the lego can be found here:

This set of Lego comes with a mini Harry and mini Hedwig (Awww cute!) that you can choose to display on the base of the big Hedwig or to display them elsewhere (in office to cheer up the mood?). Look at Harry's double faces!

As always, Lego packed and sorted all the little pieces of bricks into neat packs. For this build, there are 4 bags of bricks in the box in total. 



Bag 1 is to build the mini figurines and the strong base to hold the Hedwig in flight display. Bag 2 is for the Hedwig's main body and tail. Bag 3 and 4 are for her left and right wings and her head. 

What I especially love about this lego set is the well thought out mechanism that allows Hedwig to move her wings gracefully, closely mimicking the movements of a real owl when flying.

[Example of wing rotating. Look at how the joint at the mid wing section moves and mimics a real wing flapping movement. Thank you Happy Boy for being my hand model!]

Total building time is about 2 hours (if you are focusing) for this 630 pieces of Lego set. Do remember to do a final check to make sure both Hedwig's wings are symmetrical! This is a good way to detect any errors in your build (and that is what Happy Boy did 😛)
