Addiction to Scents

The best way to put a mild scent on your room, I've been addicted to these scents. Highly recommended: Glade Apple. Others are Lavender and Jasmine.

I prefer this than other methods like scented candles or fragrance oil burner. As simple as I dont have to bother about catching fires and it is less messy. And also more economical, for just around 2.5sgd and lasts for around 1month.

P.S. Yup some people use it for bathrooms but I dont mind. :)

Blackout Curtains

I have no clue why the architect of this building had designed to have windows covering the entire one side of my room. I usually have seen one or two panels, but havent encountered an entire side yet.

Unfortunately there were a few weeks of May that were extremely hot. My Saturday sleeps had been very much disturbed as I woke up sweating despite the aircon set at 18deg. Note that I am a ‘ginawin’ person to some extent. The sunlight passing through is just too much. This building is the first one in the block and there are no taller buildings or trees to cover the sun whatsoever.

Luckily I learned from a housemate that there is such thing called ‘blackout’. These are the types of curtains that hotel actually use. As the name implies, it aims to ‘black out' the surrounding. The cost is just a little higher than ordinary curtains. But I must say every cent is worth it!

Here’s a comparison, the left side is an ordinary thick curtain (note that is it very thick already but the sun penetrates through it easily), the right side is the blackout.


Amen to that, back to my sound weekend sleep.

p.s. Good things are for sharing with friends.

I Bet!

These are some of my fave souveniers.


Framed Memories
During vacation, we seldom buy tourist spot-specific, personalized keychain as they are usually exaggerately priced (foreigner level). However the photo is really excellent - great editing skills :p, so with the packaging. Thus we still bought one each. It's the memory and the feeling that I want for keeps. How much are you willing to pay to frame a fond memory in your mind? Can we frame all the good ones virtually so that we dont forget any?

The Bet, You Bet
I bought two of these shimmering chips (bets) in Senado Square. I just like it :D. Although some people might find me quite different , to be honest I think I'm also just going with the flow and taking only 'calculated risks'. I still have some big bets to make.. I thought I was capable, but still circumstances seem not quite. And the bet might just always be a bet kept in my bag, I wonder when will I be ready to cast it out. The concept of betting, shall I keep it or trade it for something else? Good point.


One more thing, the bet has a church printed on it, with the value of $1000. Funny that gambling and church co-exist - twisted, just like my thoughts hehe. I have twisted thoughts, but somehow luckily I always seem to outgrow those, deviate within acceptable limits and then again retract back to what I should be. Btw, my family smiled so big when they saw me back in my old look, straight hair. No traces of curls and frizz, the wonders of rebond seem to hide everything so neatly, the annoying untamed curls are gone. Now makes me curious who developed this magical concept. Who cares, I love it.


The Glass
Nothing much to explain. It was on sale so I bought it.
