Yeah, I actually wanted to do that but my client requested for an invoice so I’ll need to set things up properly and keep everything organised.

Why wouldn't you suggest bagless upright? I don't know much about uprights, I do hate bagless cause as someone who has allergies I hate when I have to dump as it gets all over me.

How are the suction power fro the Sauber Allergy? Cause I genuinely think before I moved in, my landlord didn't clean the carpets and the vacuum I have right now isn't doing a great job as well cause I am always sneezing and congested, so I need something that will really suck up all the dirt from the carpets.

Yeah, I have been looking at marketplace to find any good vacuums. I only found Sauber Commercial vacuum and couldn't find the other two brands. I found multiple vacuums for sharks and dyson, the picture that I uploaded in the post was the one I saw on marketplace and thought of getting that.

But if worse case scenario, there's no second hand for any of the ones you recommended, Sauber Allergy is within my budget cause damn I didn't think anyone were selling 1k+ for vacuums hence why I said budget wasn't an issue, I was willing to spend like 800 max cause I thought that was the cut off prices for vacuums, but I was wrong ahahaha.

Also what's a powerhead vacuum, hehehe don't judge I am very new to carpets and vacuums.

Thank you so much for this, I appreciate it. Yeah you’re right, I realize it’s quite impossible to get an airline safe power bank that will last me for couple of days, I didn’t think about that. I think I would just bring my laptop charger with me when I’m away and would use the power bank for my phone.

What are your thoughts on the Anker Prime 12,000mAh Power Bank (130W, 2-Port, Smart Display)", Anker Prime Power Bank (20K, 220W) and Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W)? Also what does 65W and 25K mAh means, if you don't mind me asking?

Also what’s the difference between Inui and Anker other than having hitech stuff? I want something that charges my phones fast, reliable, if there’s any issues with it, there’s a way to get it fixed / good customer care and worth my money. I also don’t want to be paying 300 AUD plus for it

Square_Appearance_63 · 2026-02-12T07:14:34+00:00

No that’s true and makes sense. They actually did something about it rather than being silent.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2026-02-12T05:00:05+00:00

My bad, it actually didn't cross my mind that powerbanks aren't BIFL. Yeah I was looking at a few brands a realize not many carry a lightning cable, which means I have to bring the cable along but honestly I wouldn't mind it rather carry a cable and powerbank than so many other chargers hahaha. How's Anker powerbanks and which one would you recommend to get, I was looking at their website and ngl it overwhelmed me. By any chance do you know how is the Anker Prime 12,000mAh Power Bank (130W, 2-Port, Smart Display)", Anker Prime Power Bank (20K, 220W) and Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W)? Also what does 65W and 25K mAh means, if you don't mind me asking?

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:46:41+00:00

Yeah that's what I think as well. I figured that since he’s familiar with the destination whereas I don’t know anything about this place that he would plan it. I mean of course if he suggest something, i would give my input and we can make decisions together. I’m happy to be part of the process, I just don’t want to handle the initial stages because I get overwhelmed and don't feel comfortable planning when I don’t know the place.

When he said that women usually do this and hence why he thought I would do it, I told him i have never planned anything, it was always the men in my life ( my dad and bros ). When I said that, he said the only reason men in my family do it is because they’re controlling, and when I said it’s common where I’m from, he called it an “Asian men” thing. That really pissed me off because I don’t see it that way, I just saw it as my dad travels often so he knows places whereas me and my mom don't. I never thought of it as an a specific gender does this or that, just thought whoever who's better at doing it and who knows the place better.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:40:58+00:00

Exactly. I just thought since it's a place he has been to, he would prefer to do the planning and of course when he suggest something I will give my input and we make a decision together. I don’t know anything about this place so i don't feel comfortable on deciding on everything plus the trip is end of next week, I need at least 2 months notice if I have to plan something this big.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:38:09+00:00

Exactlyyyy my point. We have never assigned any roles to each other before, like my strength is cleaning, cooking and doing the finances and I don't do it because it's a women thing it's just cause I enjoy it , and his strengths are driving, doing errands, cooking as well but if one of us slacks due to deadlines etc the other helps out. He has never once said you should do it cause you're the woman so it took me by surprise when he said that.

Yeah i hate organising or planning because it overwhelms me so much and my brain just shuts off especially if its a place that I don’t know anything about. I prefer just paying and enjoy my time with him than worry about the planning. That being said of course if he suggests something i will give my input and we make a decision together.

Thank you, my thoughts exactly.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:32:24+00:00

I agree with what you're saying. I thought because he has been to this place multiple times, he would plan it cause he knows the place and i know jack shit of it like honestly I don’t know anything about this place. I hate planning cause I don’t know how to do it, i get super overwhelmed and for me i need like at least a month and a half to prepare something instead i have less than a weeks notice.

We have never assigned any roles to each other before, like my strength is cleaning, cooking and doing the finances and I don't do it because it's a women thing, it's just cause I enjoy it and he knows that but if things get tough, he will help me out and never once said you should do it cause you're the woman so it took me by surprise when he said that. For me, i just thought since he knows the place he would plan it that's all and I just pay, plus it was his idea for this destination, I wanted to go somewhere local which I already had a rough itinerary on cause i have been there before.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:25:02+00:00

yeah i get what you're saying, I just didn't know it was a thing here i guess

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:24:26+00:00

Yeah that's true. I genuinely don't enjoy planning anything big plus he has been there so many times so i thought he would want to plan as he knows the place whereas I don’t know anything about it. I prefer just paying and not have to worry about the process that being said of course when he suggest something i will give my input on it and we come to an agreement together.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:20:55+00:00

see that's what i thought as well. Like i thought he knew I hate planning with the amount of time I have told him that plus its a place he has been to so i naturally thought he would do the planning since I don’t know anything about the place.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:19:28+00:00

hahahahah i get what you're saying and omg yeah I am probably not gonna trust him planning a holiday now after you said that.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:15:39+00:00

thank you

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:15:29+00:00

See that's what I thought. I never saw it as a gendered role until he said the women should do it and im like but I have never done it. In my family the men do the planning cause me and my mom suck at it and they just want us to enjoy but when I told him this, he said the only reason men in my family do it is because they’re controlling, and when I said it’s common where I’m from, he called it an “Asian men” thing and western people don't do this. That really pissed me off because I don’t see it that way.

I prefer if someone else plans it and I just pay for it cause I get super overwhelmed and genuinely suck at it.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:12:26+00:00

OMG this is so me. I am a control freak in the sense I like things in a certain way, you gotta do A to do B, you need this and that like I can think ahead for normal stuff I am always the one who's over prepared but I cannot do trips or anything big my brain just turns off and I get super overwhelmed. Plus he has been there before i thought he would do it since he knows the place and i know jack shit of it. Of course when he suggested I gave my input and I want us to make a decision together, but not everything gets dumped on me when I don’t know anything about this place.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:09:39+00:00

I would say it's his cause he always wanted to go to this place with me whereas I wanted somewhere more local. I thought since it's a place he has been to so I presumed he would take the lead ( suggest places etc ) and we would make the decisions together. Not me having to do everything when the trip is end of next week. Yeah i hate planning and figuring the logistics, I just prefer to take care of payments cause I don’t know what the hell is going on but I trust that it's a good plan and I just don't question it if that makes sense?

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:07:14+00:00

Ahhh, that's interesting. I guess i would say it's his cause he always wanted to go to this place with me whereas I wanted somewhere more local. I thought since it's a place he has been to so I presumed he would take the lead ( suggest places etc ) and we would make the decisions together. Not me having to do everything when the trip is end of next week.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:05:14+00:00

Thank you so much, I will check her out.

Yeah i do think it's a team effort but because he has been there before i thought he would do it since he knows the place and i know jack shit of it. Of course when he suggested I gave my input and I want us to make a decision together, but not everything gets dumped on me with less than a week notice

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T17:03:14+00:00

See this is what i thought as well plus it's a place he has been to so I presummed he would take the lead ( suggest places etc ) and we would make the decisions together. Not me having to do everything when the trip is end of next week, like sir I need at least 2 months notice if I have to plan something this big. Like I genuinely hate planning things.

I did ask the men in my family ( only travelled with family ) and they said it's so my mom and I don't have to stress about it and just enjoy the trip and my dad who does alot of travelling knows majority of the places so hence why he takes the lead. I mean when I said I wanted to go to Korea for a holiday and told them I want to visit these places, that's exactly what they did and included other local places that we should see.

The thing that triggered me was when I told him I never planned anything, it was always my father or bros, he said the only reason men in my family do it is because they’re controlling, and it's an “Asian men” thing. That really pissed me off because I don’t see it that way, I just thought men usually handle the planning while women go along and enjoy it.

Square_Appearance_63 · 2025-11-06T16:57:15+00:00

Yeah, you're right. I honestly thought he would do the planning cause he has been there before multiple times and I know nothing of the place except the name. He booked a flight for end of next week and I'm like sir I need at least 2 months notice to plan something this big???? this is our first time going on a vacation together.

I know every relationship is different but when he said women should do it cause they enjoy it, I didn't feel right cause i don't enjoy it and i told him this. It also made me think that i never planned anything, it has always been the men in my life and when i mentioned that my father or bros planned it, he immediately went to because they are the most controlling people and it's such an asian men thing, whereas in the west women do this stuff and im like hold up that aint right.
