It can cook up to 5 cups of rice and comes with food steamer. It also comes with a rice paddle and a measuring cup.</p><p>According to their instruction manual, we have to wash the inner pot and pour water up to the level 5 mark and press the selector button downwards to cook. After the water is boiled, switch off the rice cooker. When the water has cooled, pour it away and the rice cooker is ready to cook rice. This step helps to get rid of any weird metal smell and also sterilizes the inner pot. </p><p>Cook rice as you normally would for a rice cooker. <br /><br />If there's still some rice stuck to the inner pot after scraping off any extra, add some water into the inner pot and let it soak overnight. It can be easily washed off using detergent and a non-abrasive sponge the next day. Alternatively, you can follow the manual's instruction to add some warm soapy water for about 20 minutes and then wash with a non-abrasive sponge. </p><p>This is a more affordable option of rice cooker with a stainless steel inner pot. We only use the rice cooker to cook only rice, so we do not need a lot of other fanciful function. We just needed a simple rice cooker. This <a href="https://qoo.tn/Bs1fCY/Q101757180">PowerPac rice cooker with stainless steel inner pot</a> served the purpose.</p><p><br /></p>

It could remove my makeup very thoroughly without stripping my skin of moisture. What I like about it is that I can also use this to remove makeup around my eye area. It does not irritate my eyes. I have tried other cleansing oil from other brands before and those cleansing oil can't be used near my eye area as they irritate my eyes.

I put off the idea due to various reasons.<br />
<br />
I finally bought one on <a href="https://qoo.tn/BBNukR/Q101757180" id="lnk_url" style="color: #3e58a4; cursor: pointer; font-family: arial, tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" target="_blank">Qoo10.sg</a> recently. There were 2 sizes available from the same seller, I bought the smaller one that is 22 cm by 22 cm by 28.5 cm.<br />
<br />
Product came with an instruction manual on how to assemble. Although the manual is in Chinese, there are pictures on it as well so it should be easy to understand even if you don't read Chinese. It was easy to assemble and I can really put more stuff on it. I liked the fact that this organizer is transparent which makes it easy to look for stuff. It helps that it can be fully rotated, making it easy to take and put back the stuff. Rotation is smooth. Ledges in the middle can be adjusted to different heights easily.<br />

We did not want to spend too much on one as we were not sure how long her interest will continue.<br />
<br />
As I was doing my research on pianos, I realized that an acoustic piano required a heater and needed to be tuned every 6 months or so. This would be extra maintenance and costs. A digital piano, on the other hand, cost much less than a real piano. It has volume control and has a headphone jack, so Sera can practise any time she wants.<br />
<br />
The digital piano seemed to be the obvious choice for us.<br />
<br />
We went to a Cristofori showroom and finally chose the Cristofori Digital Piano (CDP). CDP mimics a real piano. It has weighted keys, 3 pedals below and 88 keys. It also has many different built-in tunes, different sounds of musical instruments, and comes with a free headphone and bench. The price is about a quarter of that of an upright acoustic piano.<br />
<br />
We agreed that it would take an expert ear to really be able to distinguish the sound from a digital piano and an acoustic piano.<br />

<br />
<br />
So far, Sera enjoyed playing on the CDP and trying out the built in tunes at times. She also liked to play around with the various musical instrument sounds and tempo of the rythms. Her sister, Lynn would sometimes play the CDP for fun.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I have wanted to find a more lightweight upright vacuum cleaner. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While shopping for a laptop for Sera, we saw this Powerpac iVac Stick Vacuum PPV808 by chance at one of the Challenger stores (not all Challenger stores have this model). However, as we were in a rush that day, we did not have the time to ask the salesperson for more information on this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I tried searching online for more information and reviews on this product later but only managed to find some information on Challenger's online store <a href="https://www.hachi.tech/product/8886402317968/PowerPac-PPV808-Stick-Vacuum-Cleaner-800Watts">hachi tech</a> and <a href="http://www.powerpac.com.sg/homeappliances2?page=3">Powerpac</a> website. There were no reviews on this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Ardon and I went down to the same <a href="https://www.hachi.tech/product/8886402317968/PowerPac-PPV808-Stick-Vacuum-Cleaner-800Watts">Challenger</a> store on another day. This time, we checked with the salesperson and knew that it did not come with extra tools like the crevice tool and corner brush. However, at that price point, it was still a good deal since we felt that the suction power of a vacuum cleaner is the most important. Having extra tools would be a bonus but not critical.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After using this Powerpac iVac Stick Vacuum PPV808 for a few times, we decided it was time to write a review on this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It has a power consumption of 800 watts. Although having </span><span style="font-size: large;">high power consumption does not necessarily mean good suction power, it's the only indication of its suction power if no other information is given. The suction power of this Powerpac</span><span style="font-size: large;"> iVac Stick Vacuum PPV808</span><span style="font-size: large;"> was definitely strong and we could feel the wind when the vacuum cleaner was switched on. It was lightweight, making it easy for me to use and carry around. I was initially worried that it could not vacuum/go under our bed and was pleasantly surprised that it could. Our bed is about 19 to 20 cm above the floor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a button at the bottom of the main body for switching between vacuuming hard floor and vacuuming a carpet. See the picture below.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This Powerpac iVac Stick Vacuum PPV808 used a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HEPA#Vacuum_cleaners">HEPA filter</a>. It also used a washable dust cap instead of dust bag. The dust capacity was 0.8 litres. So far, it seemed large enough for vacuuming our whole flat. It could be folded when not in use, so we can put it in a corner of the living room without it taking too much space and is not so conspicuous.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">We bought our old ceiling fans with included light kits at a sale a few years ago. The fans were sold at a low price with the light kits included at only $1 each. At that time, it was a very good offer that we couldn't resist buying. We were then looking into ways to reduce our electricity bills and the ceiling fans did serve that purpose. However, the blades were not smooth enough as they were made of wood. Dirt and dust tended to get trapped and hard to remove if cleaning was not done often. Not to mention that they were white in colour! After the most recent cleaning of the fan, the light kits would shake violently when the fan speed was switched to the highest level. We were forced to stay on speed number 2, which would still be very warm on hot days. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Speed number 1 was also spoilt for more than a year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Each light kit had 3 light bulb sockets. One by one, the sockets failed. Eventually we were down to only 3 light bulbs for the entire living room area. There was also the problem of the shaking light kits highlighted earlier. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Since all of these repairs were not covered under warranty, we decided that it was time to get new ceiling fans.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We waited for the Chinese New Year holidays to be over before getting the new ones. In the meantime, I did my research online and also asked about the ceiling fans in some relatives' homes when we visited them during the Chinese New Year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From what I gathered, KDK is an old and trusted brand. However, it is more expensive and has limited choice of light kits. Its products were only protected by one year warranties. Crestar and Fanco were the next two well known/popular brands. Crestar fans offered a one year warranty on parts and 10 years warranty on motors. Fanco fans have lifetime warranties for their motors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We wanted ceiling fans that used E27 light sockets for their light kits. E27 light bulbs are easier to change when they burn out and are easily available in many stores. Since we always went to NTUC Fairprice hypermarket for groceries, we took the opportunity to look at the ceiling fans on sale there. They were mainly KDK and Amasco fans, costing more than $300 each.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did google searches online and found a shop near our place that sold ceiling fans. Quite a number of shops were not opened that week as it was the first week of the Chinese New Year. This shop was opened on 5 Feb 2017 and we wanted to get it done as soon as possible before the weather gets too hot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were considering between Fanco and Crestar. The sales lady told us that Crestar ceiling fans are made in Taiwan, so they are more durable and more expensive than Fanco's ceiling fans. We also asked about using built-in LED lights in the Crestar ceiling fans. She said that, usually, the built-in LED lights should last for a long time. We were told that for this type of light/lamp, if the light is spoilt, we would need to get the agent to come and replace the lamp. This could easily come up to $100++. The lamp is also not as bright as those that used the open style light kits that used E27 light bulbs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sales lady suggested that we could use remote control to operate the ceiling fans as it is more convenient. However, we had a bad experience with remote control in our previous ceiling fan. When the remote control sensor/PCB board were spoilt, we were short of one lamp and ceiling fan to use for a few days before the agent could send someone down to repair it. We wanted to keep things simple and low maintenance. So we chose the Crestar fan that could use the light kits that comes with E27 light sockets. Even though the built-in LED lights should be more durable and do look neater than the E27 bulb light kits, there was no guarantee that the built-in LED lights will last long enough. It also seemed that the usage tests on how long the built-in lamps are supposed to last are usually based on only a few hours a day (probably night time).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We chose the Crestar Hypac because we wanted acrylic blades for the ceiling fans. We liked the fact that acrylic blades are lighter and smoother than wood. This would make them easier to clean. The model we chose came in sizes 48 inch (122 cm) and 54 inch (137 cm) for this model. We thought the 48 inch blades might not be windy enough for us. Our old ceiling fans were 52 inches. So we opted for the 54 inch Crestar Hyperpac ceiling fans. Of course, this time round, we chose black colour for our ceiling fans. We also used strings as the mode of operation for the fans and lights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Delivery and installation were arranged for 3 days later. At first, one of the fans' light kit would shake when the fan was switched to speed number 2. The contractor/man who did the installation explained to us that this was a balancing problem that could be fixed very easily. He went on to fix the problem and the fan worked fine with no shaking of the light kits. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The wind from speed 2 of Crestar Hypac is equivalent to the wind generated from speed 3 of our old ceiling fans. That's one plus point. I chose a light kit design that was different from the previous fans. The kids also agreed that the new fan and light kits looked better than the previous ones. :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our </span><a href="http://aceswan.blogspot.sg/2012/07/europace-multi-point-instant-water.html" style="font-size: x-large;">Europace Multi-point Instant Water Heater EWH138</a><span style="font-size: large;"> started to leak water 3 weeks ago after about 4.5 years of usage. We were considering whether to call Europace or just get a new water heater. Upon checking the warranty, we realized that it covered only the heating element for 5 years. So, we reckoned that it would be better to just get it replaced. We were actually quite disappointed that it did not last as long as our previous storage water heater (Ariston, lasted 11 years).</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Once again, we began our search for new water heaters. This time round, we wanted to buy a more trusted/old brand. Comments online for their water heaters had been mostly good.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I checked from the Gain City website that they do sell 707 water heaters. It so happened that Gain City was having their best electric sale at the Singapore Expo and so we went there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once we got into the expo hall, we went to the section that sold 707 water heaters. Initially we wanted another storage water heater because we were concerned that there might be an installation problem if we chose the instant water heater. The promoter reassured us that, for our case, we can change to an instant water heater because we have a switch outside each bathroom that can control the individual water heater. However, we would still need to get a plumber to get the pipes changed/re-routed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We figured that the cost of replacement for an instant water heater is cheaper in the long run. There are more choices for instant water heaters with relatively lower prices compared to storage water heaters. Another factor was that if one water heater fails, we would still have another one in the other bathroom to use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We bought this 707 Instant Water Heater - <a href="http://www.qoo10.sg/su/411711778/Q101757180">Princeton</a> - upon the strong recommendation of the promoter. This water heater came with temperature and water pressure control knobs and a rotatable shower Sliding Kit complemented with the unique Oracle-Slim Rain Shower Head. The promoter told us that he himself had one installed in his own home. Once you used the rain shower head, you will feel the difference. This heater was available in seven colours. We chose purple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR__GrKqclsE42JlFUyhAatq6rT1583C-FAm0HJZK9Lw3m6lnun-WxkzbKYr9MrL-jP5cmggxZqE1dKAx39E4aiNkWk4-cLC5wVe67FKFK4C1LSzZKSvJZbKyFlgSFA2hiU2lHjVNCuZE/s1600/IMG_20161231_233359.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR__GrKqclsE42JlFUyhAatq6rT1583C-FAm0HJZK9Lw3m6lnun-WxkzbKYr9MrL-jP5cmggxZqE1dKAx39E4aiNkWk4-cLC5wVe67FKFK4C1LSzZKSvJZbKyFlgSFA2hiU2lHjVNCuZE/s640/IMG_20161231_233359.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had this <a href="http://www.qoo10.sg/su/411711778/Q101757180">Princeton</a> water heater installed in the bathroom of our master bedroom. The plumber set the temperature and water pressure/flow to the highest. He advised us to use the tap to control the water flow and temperature. It would be easier especially for Sera since she might not be able to reach the control knobs on the water heater. </div>
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
True enough, the rain shower felt great. The temperature of the water that flowed out was more consistent, unlike our previous multi-point instant water heater.<br />
<br />
When the weather turned hotter recently, we turned the temperature knob to the 2nd marking.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We bought the Champs Instant Water Heater - <a href="http://www.qoo10.sg/su/411712033/Q101757180">Lagoon</a> for the bathroom in the kitchen for the occasional use of hot water. I will write a separate review for that.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Do you like to read? Do you want to have your library with you when you travel? Do you like to read anywhere and everywhere?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Kobo Glo Ebook Reader is the answer to your wishes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. It has an electronic ink (also known as e-ink) display that is readable under direct sunlight. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. It also has a front light which enable you to read in the dark without light shining in your face. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Its e-ink display consumes very little energy so the Kobo Glo can be used for about one month before it needs to be charged. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4. It has an internal storage of 2 GB and can accept microSD cards up to 32 GB. That's enough for an entire library of <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&subid=&offerid=361251.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.kobobooks.com%2F">ebooks</a>. So you don't need to agonize over what books to bring during your vacation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. It has a touchscreen for easy navigation and can be linked to your computer using a USB cable. The free Kobo Desktop software helps you to manage your Kobo library and upgrade your reader when necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Kobo Glo is similar to the (more well-known) Kindle Paperwhite. However, for people living outside the US, the Kobo Glo would be more useful since it uses the most popular ebook format, .epub. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It can also read ebooks borrowed from libraries using Overdrive (such as the Singapore National Library). <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&subid=&offerid=361251.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.kobobooks.com%2F">Kobo</a> has its own <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&subid=&offerid=361251.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.kobobooks.com%2F">ebook store</a> where you can buy your ebooks. The prices at <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&subid=&offerid=361251.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.kobobooks.com%2F">Kobo</a> are slightly higher than Amazon.com but <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&subid=&offerid=361251.1&type=10&tmpid=9310&RD_PARM1=https%3A%2F%2Fstore.kobobooks.com%2F">Kobo</a> frequently issues discount codes so it works out to be the same.</span></div>

Its successor is </span><span style="font-size: large;">the <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&offerid=361251.1316&type=3&subid=0">new Kobo Glo HD. </a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEhgxcYoKQOKe__9fSkxMTQJndpUnwj9JVF2v0WyTc64hQpK8yIK8FKPSsQgIaabN9YPLxL38lOIxjKFFEWMyxBwRvUl_CSCtZ5TS3oOcemfgoMtB45z2wVpr4Rij-0gBDQIgGBGLihSHC7QbaYYvbucbYbGfQjW_dKAeR0OBVkmshBR3MD0lJsu1nBpydxTN3MHUSdj=" /> It is almost the same as the older Kobo Glo, with the following exceptions:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. The <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&offerid=361251.1316&type=3&subid=0">Kobo Glo HD</a> has a higher resolution display (1448 x 1072, 300 ppi) compared to the Kobo Glo (1024 x 768). This means that text is sharper and easier to read.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. The <a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=U8dYdfiBs2M&offerid=361251.1316&type=3&subid=0">Kobo Glo HD</a> has more internal storage (4 GB) vs the Kobo Glo (2 GB). However, the Glo HD does not have a microSD slot. This is not such a problem because the file sizes for most ebooks are quite small. If each ebook has a file size of about 1 MB, then a 4 GB Kobo Glo HD can store about 4000 ebooks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The instructor of this course was Ian Gilbert. He taught a simple and effective way to write tweets. Furthermore, he provided some downloadable files/templates for us to follow. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also touched on what to write in the twitter profile account, the best time to tweet etc. By creating more engaging tweets, we would be able to build followers easily.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Besides comparing the course fees and contents between the 4 social media courses that were eligible for <a href="http://www.skillsfuture.sg/credit">SkillsFuture credit</a>, another thing that I looked at was whether the trainer spoke with an accent. In such cases, I might have difficulty understanding what he or she said. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">For this course, Alex Genadinik spoke English clearly, so it was easy to hear and understand, for me at least. In addition to that, the speed of his lecture was just right. You can look at the preview of some of his lectures before deciding whether or not to take his course.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He included Quora as one of the social media platforms to use to gain more engagement and exposure. This was something new to me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He also explained why people put hashtags in their posts on Instagram, Twitter and some other social media sites. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">My stainless steel steamer pot started to leak water a few weeks ago. We were considering whether to buy a new 2-tier stainless steel steamer that could be used on the stove or an electric steamer. </span><span style="font-size: large;">After comparing the prices, we thought we might as well get an electric steamer with timer. Coincidentally, NTUC Xtra was having a promotion on the Tefal Electric Steamer with a sale price of $59.90 (usual price was $69.90). There were other brands on offer but the Tefal electric steamer suited our needs.</span><br />

When the timer reaches 0, it will give a "ding" sound, similar to that of a toaster oven. The maximum time is 60 minutes.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 19.2000007629395px;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">For cooking times of less than 15 minutes, we were advised to turn the timer to 30 minutes first, and then turn it backwards to the required time. There was once when I used the steamer with a cooking time of about 10 minutes. I followed the instructions but did not hear any "ding" sound even after the 10 minutes was up. When I checked the food, it was already well cooked but the timer did not turn at all. At first, I thought the timer was spoilt. Keeping my fingers crossed, I tried to use the steamer on another day. This time round I turned the timer to more than 30 minutes then slowly turned it back to 10 minutes. The steamer completed the steam cycle with the "ding" sound. The timer was still functioning well! Yeah!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After that, Ardon used it on another day and the timer did not turn again. However, when I used it on yet another occasion by turning the timer slowly back to 10 minutes, it worked well. So, our conclusion was not to turn the timer back too fast to less than 15 minutes.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, our old refrigerator's handle fell apart. We didn't want to spend money to repair it. Our heads collided with </span><span style="font-size: large;">the handle of the freezer many times whenever we got up after we took things in or out of the lower compartments of the refrigerator. The doors were also very difficult to open. We didn't realize that when we tried the display set before purchase as it was not switched on then. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It was not easy for us to find a suitable refrigerator due to space constraints. We went to <a href="http://www.gaincity.com/">Gain City</a> on one weekend and finally purchased the <a href="http://www.hitachiconsumer.com/home/sg/products/for-home/home-appliances/refrigerator/top-freezer/top-freezer-product-page/r-h350p4ms">Hitachi Refrigerator R-H350P4MS</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> 2 door refrigerator. It had 2 ticks on energy efficiency. We opted for the extended warranty offered by <a href="http://www.gaincity.com/">Gain City</a> from the second to the fifth year of purchase. This extended warranty included parts and transport costs.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This new refrigerator's doors did not have handles that stuck out like our old refrigerator, so we no longer have to worry about colliding with the freezer's handle.

<span style="font-size: large;">The new freezer compartment was smaller than our old freezer, </span><span style="font-size: large;">so we could not stock up too much meat and other frozen items in the freezer. It came with a portable twist ice maker and tray. This could be an advantage or disadvantage depending on how you looked at it.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> It could be removed to put more food in the freezer. However, there was nothing to hold the twist ice maker inside the freezer itself. It had to be placed on top of the transparent ice tray that came with it. It was a bit cumbersome to take ice cubes out from the freezer as we had to take the twist ice maker out first, before we could take the ice cubes from the transparent ice tray. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, I bought this Maybelline Dream Satin Skin Two Way Cake SPF 32 PA+++ . I was attracted by its claim that it would give a non-cakey, ultra breathable satin skin that lasts all day. There were 4 shades of colour available at Watsons and I chose the B1 shade. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I started using the Simple brand facial cleanser when I was in my teenage years. My skin type then was near to normal type with pimples coming out occasionally that would usually go off without me doing anything. Ever since then, I had been using it for more than 10 years without changing brands. Initially, I used the foaming milky type (I am not sure whether it is the same as the one I am using now). Later I switched to the Simple cleansing gel when I could not find the foaming milky type in the store that I visited.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was in my late twenties, an ex-colleague recommended another brand of skincare products. So I switched to the new brand and used that range (facial cleanser, toner and moisturizer) for a few years. Subsequently, I felt that it was just not necessary to spend so much on a facial cleanser. After all, I would only put it on my face for a short while before it was washed off. So I switched back to Simple facial cleanser. At that time, I learnt that the facial cleansing gel was more for oily and combination skin types, so I used the Simple Moisturising Facial Wash as my skin type was normal to dry. This Simple Moisturising Facial Wash was also suitable for sensitive skin. It has been more than 10 years since I switched back to using Simple facial cleanser.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Recently, I was given a free sample of a facial cleanser from another brand meant for normal to dry skin from the brand promoter when I bought one of their products. I tried it one night. After putting the new facial cleanser on my face and at the point of washing off the cleanser, I could feel some friction. My face did not feel smooth at all. This felt so different from when I was using the Simple facial cleanser. My face would usually feel smooth after washing with the Simple facial cleanser.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had been using this Simple Moisturising Facial Wash for such a long time that I probably had taken it for granted until I tried a different cleanser. It was then that I could compare and realized that the Simple Moisturising Facial Wash is still better for me.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to find a moisturizer suitable for Sera that did not have a strong smell and did not cost a lot. Sera had a bit of eczema on her inner elbows which required constant moisturizing to prevent it from getting worse. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">From what I know, Sera needed oil to improve the skin condition of her inner elbow. I read that Argan oil was good for eczema and was the hype in recent years. However, it was also very expensive. I was hoping to find a cheaper alternative. I found out that <a href="http://www.stylecraze.com/articles/amazing-benefits-of-olive-oil-that-you-never-knew/">olive oil</a> was also good for the skin. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A few months ago, we went to <a href="http://www.mustafa.com.sg/">Mustafa shopping centre</a> and the trip proved fruitful. <a href="http://www.mustafa.com.sg/">Mustafa</a> sold many brands of hand cream and body lotion which were not commonly available at other retail stores. They also sold real bottled olive oil that was meant to be used on the body but I didn't really want to smear oil on Sera's inner elbow since my hands will also get oily in the process (even though the oil would most likely be absorbed quickly). Fortunately, this was not the only option available. We also found some hand creams and body lotions made from olive oil at <a href="http://www.mustafa.com.sg/">Mustafa</a>. In the end, we decided on the Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream. If I remembered correctly, <a href="http://www.mustafa.com.sg/">Mustafa</a> also sold the Inecto Pure Olive body lotion made from olive oil. However, Sera preferred a creamier texture, so we bought this.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream contained <a href="http://thenakedchemist.com/what-is-urea-and-its-benefits-in-skincare/">urea</a> which was a humectant used in many creams that were also prescribed by some doctors for dry skin conditions. The main ingredient - olive fruit oil - was listed somewhere in the middle of the ingredient list. Hence the amount of olive oil used in this product should be somewhere in the middle, that is, not too much and not too little. The ingredients in a product list were usually given in descending order of the amount of ingredients used. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream had a nice scent that was not overpowering. Upon application, it was easily absorbed into the skin and did not feel oily. </span><span style="font-size: large;">We had been applying this Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream on Sera's inner elbows every day, once or twice daily. The skin condition of her inner elbows did improve. A few days ago, she went swimming and the skin on her inner elbows became too dry again with redness as we did not apply the cream </span><span style="font-size: large;">immediately </span><span style="font-size: large;">after shower</span><span style="font-size: large;">. However, after applying this </span><span style="font-size: large;">Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream consistently twice a day, for 4 days, her inner elbows are now okay. They were no longer dry and red.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Inecto Pure Olive Intensive Hand & Nail Cream costs less than $5 and was sold in tubes of 75 ml. I would think this is a gem as we have not seen this in any other retail stores in Singapore.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A few weeks ago, Ardon and I saw that <a href="http://www.giantsingapore.com.sg/">Giant hypermart </a>was having an offer on the Rapido 8-in-1 blender that was distributed by <a href="https://jml.sg/">JML Singapore Pte Ltd</a>. It was selling at a discounted price of $39.90. I think the original price was about twice this amount. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The blender comes with many attachments as shown in the picture below.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is an 8-in-1 blender that can blend, puree, whip, mix, grate, chop and grind. It can also be used as a juice extractor. It also comes with an instruction and recipe guide. We thought it was a good deal to buy this blender at this price. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't fully tried out all the uses that were stated on the box. So far, I have ground 250 g of pork using the cross blade and tall cup. The pork was all minced up within a few seconds.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Last week, I wanted to make ice blended coffee (the weather was very hot!). First, I poured a satchet of 3-in-1 coffee into my usual drinking cup and poured a little bit of hot water, just enough to dissolve the 3-in-1 coffee powder. Then I put some ice in the tall cup and after closing it with the cross blade cover, I placed it on the power base to crush some ice. Then I poured the crushed ice into the cup of coffee. As the coffee was hot, the ice melted almost immediately. So I didn't get the ice blended coffee effect that I wanted. There were still some crushed ice stuck around the blades and it was a bit difficult to get it out. My cup of coffee was only half full with the melted ice in it. So, I poured the coffee into the tall cup and added more ice to it. Then I put the cross blade and closed it, placed the tall cup onto the power base and switched on. This time, I got the ice blended coffee effect that I wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After I was done with this cup of ice blended coffee, Sera tasted it and liked it. So, it became her cup of coffee. So I made another ice blended coffee for myself. This time round, I poured my hot coffee which contained a little hot water into the tall cup, added lots of ice to it and started blending. The ice blended coffee texture turned out better than the first one :).</span><br />
