My Review

The day to travel back to SG. As our flight was in the afternoon, we took our time to prepare for checkout.  My very first time travelling via Business Class flight!! The comfort, the food, the service!  Welcome back to Singapore!

No itinenary for Day 2 and 3. Purely follow friend's recommendation for food, food and food!!! The food we had in Melaka for Day 2 and 3!  Dim Sum for breakfast San Shu Gong's Durian Chendol! Fried Oyster Omelette Not to miss Nadeje Layer Cake！ Duck Noodle   Heard it so popular they closed by afternoon hours!

My very first overseas trip since covid-19!!! Hotel Hotel booking as usual via online platform without any hiccups. Agoda it is. Coach to Malacca Coach booking via online platform (easybook.com) as well but now there is app to view the coach details. Even without app, the agency will send the bus details around an hour before the bus arrival at the pick up point. And this time round, we boarded at jurong east venture drive which is a lot nearer then going all the way to the east. Our coach travelled in Malaysia via tuas checkpoint. The tuas checkpoint seemed to be the only congested area where our coach seemed to take a longggg time before we finally get to alight and enter Singapore custom. But amazingly, it was swift and smooth departure. Even at Malaysia custom, it didn't take more than 15 mins to get in and board our coach!!! Totally amazed by the smooth transition. Short break at Yong Peng Short break at yong peng for some makan and toilet break Nasi lemak for the...

Bought $4.50 for 6 pieces. I was immediately tempted by the word "Lobster" even though I am certain I will not find what I am looking for inside.  Surprisingly the taste was good.  (But my favorite is still the octopus)

Saw this painting by numbers canvas quite a while ago. Finally got it to complete as a gift. The set comprised of 3 different size paint brush, the set of colors required for the painting, the canvas with the color numbers printed, a small picture of the colored painting and the hooks. Overall was fun but took me a few days to complete because I didn't want my painting to be accidentally smudged by the paint colors. The completed version I started with the smaller/inner areas and/or colors that are lighter tone. Took roughly 2 weeks for me to complete because I stopped in between a few days as I want it to be completely dry. Some of the colors given in the kit set were already harden and I tried adding water to "revive" it. The other difference of what it was supposed to be was the outermost green color background as the green color paint was completed dried. I mixed the remaining colors from the kit set ...

  Materials: I assembled yet another glass bottle with a 10 LEDs fairylight, a stalk of artificial lavender, assorted beads, 2 seashells, and decoration sands mixed with acrylic paint. How I assembled them: As I already has some silver acrylic paint settled at the bottom of the glass bottom, I added in some decoration sands which of course turned into silver color after mixing them together. After it dried up completely. Then I just proceed with the white beads to have a more even ground before dropping in the miscellaneous elements. Color Theme: Since I was already at a silver color tone, I went with some white, pink and red color theme (the faux pearl beads, star shaped decorations, crystals etc). The purple lavender seemed to stand out in this color theme. For the LEDs: I coiled the LED outside the bottle instead of inside. By wrapping it outside, I can get to easily place the LED in proportion. If I push it inside the bottle, it won’t be as nice because it wasn’t any easy task ...

Photo taken many years back...

Didn’t realize just how much photo I took when I started my photo taking journey.  The lost and found shots in my hard disk storage. Stack of stones The purple flower The look-a-like ginseng The seeking attention flower

In the past, sales campaigns in malls are held for special occasions and events such as  New Year, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Great Singapore Sales, Deepavali, Easter, Black Friday, Christmas etc etc And now with e-commerce platforms, every 1.1, 2.2, 3.3...12.12 dates, there are even more sales ongoing. So when is the right time to buy what I want?  The  Urgency  of my needs. There is never really a Lowest Price   since the price changed with the vouchers, in-store discounts, the online platform's   and credit cards' promotions etc. It is on about the Best Price I can get during the time frame when I looked for the item. And the Best Price takes into consideration the  Item Location   as it determines the delivery time and  warranty, exchange, return or refund policies for the after-sales service. So in conclusion, the right time to buy depends for me to determine the best price at that point of time. Urgency  of my nee...

Just relax, eat, shop and go. We headed for Mega City Mall   (Banqiao).   From Taipei Main Station , just take the train to Banqiao Station and followed the signs to the mall. A pity we were there too early and Xmas deco wasn't up yet else it would have been a romantic/crowded date. Finally the first time we had Ding Tai Fung at Taiwan. Quality food from Ding Tai Fung . Back to Taipei Main Station after Banqiao's shopping trip, we continued more shopping around Taipei Main Station.  Just more food and drinks before we ended our shopping spree for the day! ---------------------------------- Day 6 : Back to SG Start of our day, finally get t...
