Microsoft to cut nearly 1,000 jobs

At the time of this report first published, the market share price is valued at 237.53 USD. These are leading indicators of recession or they were simply downsizing to bring down cost. There are many companies who were trimming down their workforce size. However, most of the news will always reflect at the big corporation. So let's all just stick to whatever you are doing and tide over these uncertain times.

New iPad Pro M2 models releasing soon !

Source taken from Engadget

Once again, gadgets can never chase enough. The newer ones will 99% be always be better than the predecessor, unless you know someone who cock up in the production process. 😉 Nowadays, people are relying on iPad or tablets rather than Desktop PC or Laptops. Not all, but there is a significant shift of users, especially the younger folks. Perhaps all they have to do is to send email and stuffs, thats all. But of course, comparing iPad in the early days and today, there are more powerful apps which can perform as well as a typical laptop. Currently, my Samsung Tab S7 still serve me well, so shall skip iPad this time round. 😏

Netflix Singapore

As what most people always say, let's netflix and chill ! In SG, Netflix subscription is considered to be very expensive as compared to other parts of the world. One need to also put in the consideration which particular video quality is used. This is also important and the number of different devices able to use at any one time. At the moment, Standard is still the most popular subscription plan among the others. As for me? I don't have time to watch though I wish that I can spare more free time.

Ayam Penyet Ria @ Bugis

Came here to have lunch with my colleagues for a quick meal. I personally ordered the Ayam Tanpa Tulang and ordered Soda Gila. I like the chilli as it is spicy enough and to go with the fried smashed chicken. There is no soup and my colleague went to feedback that it is dry to go along with this. Haha but actually thats where they earn the extra because people will order the drinks. But of course, it is not as if we won't order the drinks. Normally at standard malay or indonesian cusine, they will give you a small bowl of soup when having Ayam Penyet. Well, taste wise is not bad. As for the Soda Gila, i think its just fanta grape. 😆

Transport Research for the Early Birds !

Did you know that there are many ways to save costs by taking the public transport in Singapore? Today I will be highlighting one of the ways on how to save cost by taking the early transport. I had personally recorded the trips from MRT to MRT at different time interval and there is a DIFFERENCE !

Early Bird Timing from my place: Before 7.40AM (Estimated)

Normal Travelling Time: After 7.40AM

After Early Bird (Normal Travelling Time) From Canberra Station to City Hall Station: SGD$1.91

After Early Bird (Normal Travelling Time) From Canberra Station to Bugis Station: SGD$1.88

Early Bird FROM Canberra Station to City Hall Station: SGD$1.41

Early Bird FROM Canberra Station to Bugis Station: SGD$1.38

In summary, I had been doing this for several months since my job had relocated from my northern kampung to City Centre. These 50 cents early bird each day does made a difference. If a month's work day is 22 days and I successfully managed to maintain early commuting, 22 x 50 cents = is a whooping SGD$11 per month ! Thats also equal to SGD$132 per year of savings !

HL Milk - Dark Chocolate Edition

Another Milk product from Marigold HL milk. This time, they released Dark Chocolate Milk which costs SGD$3.30 per pack from major supermarkets. So other than Dark Chocolate flavor, it is the same "lower blood cholesterol", "Low Fat & Low Lactose" and "High Protein & Calcium" specs. Personally, I think the original fresh milk is still better. Perhaps the chocolate flavour gimmicks was just to gain the chocolate lovers' market share. 😄 

The only trusted brand and hair product for Hair

Ok lar, not saying this is the best. But had been using for many years and this is one of the best I ever used to make a tidy "messy" hair. Gatsby itself is a very popular japanese brand, specialized for its hair wax or gel products. So it is a personal choice. Usually I can't find them in normal supermarket. They usually have it at premium supermarket like NTUC Finest or Xtra stores in Singapore. It cost between SGD$8 to SGD$9.

Farmhouse Cafe Latte

Farmhouse released their new Cafe Latte Milk product that is using Arabica Coffee Beans ! They had the same price range as their normal milk products. Tried and felt that milk is milk. As it is a milk product, the concentration of the milk overwhelm the coffee flavor. So yeah, it does taste with the Cafe Latte, but not the Cafe Latte that you would expect from a cafe definitely. Nonetheless still all right but still prefer the pure milk as the way it is.

Google might force users to pay for Premium to watch videos in 4K on YouTube

Source from Neowin

According to Google, Google's attempts to convert customers into YouTube Premium subscribers. The company is trying hard with multiple banners promoting Premium, and the increase of non-skippable ads content creators can use in their videos could also be seen by one as a low-blow attempt to get more subscribers. It appears that Google has figured out yet another way to force you to consider buying Premium. So the plan is to make 1440p and 1080p available free for subscribers. That is the thing, that is also why I had been making videos using only 1440p. Most does not really utilize 4K to consume contents still. Majority are still using 1080p and 1440p to view contents. Like myself I edit and view contents with 1440p.

New MacDonald Released on 22 September 2022

So far, I tried their Double Samurai Beef Burger and Yuzu Cream Cheese Pie. The Double Samurai Beef Burger is made with perfection, except that it is messy to eat with due to the sauces. The tier I would rank this is a A+ and should be in the permanent menu. It is definitely something that I will revisit most of the time to order this burger. As for the Yuzu Cream Cheese Pie, I felt that it is ok, but still can't beat Mcdonald's very own Apple Pie. But it the flavor are interesting, worth trying once and go back to your favourite ones. 😆

Starbucks Drip Coffee Origami Edition

To beat inflation and also reduce my cost of getting Arabica coffee, I guess i have to consider alternative solution. Lately this month, I had started bringing my own paper cups, plastic stirrers and daily thermal flask of 100 degrees Celsius of Hot Filtered Water to office everyday. For the last few days, I had been using 3 in 1 Teh Tarik or Instant Coffee to reduce buying out. Of course, I am talking about Arabica and not Robusta Coffee. The price range of those are different. So typically in a cafe, a standard black or white coffee nowadays in the city costs SGD$5 to SGD$6 a cup. 7-Eleven and Cheers had Arabica machine selling at around SGD$1.70 to SGD$3, but there is difference in the quality, but still good as substitute. So back to this Starbucks Drip Coffee Origami is priced at SGD$7.20 for 4 drip coffee. Meaning it costs SGD$1.80 per drip coffee. Adding the cost of my water, cup and stirrer, it costs around SGD$2.20 for a branded one. So just trying it out as I didn't have the time to visit Don Don Donki to grab their cheaper Drip Coffee. But will stock up soon.

Most Vulnerable Browser in the World

Based on the title, it seems to be true because of certain facts. It is the most vulnerable browser in the World, but also one of the most popular browser in the world. Many people were using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer back in the days. In today's context, there were many types of browsers for different use cases. Like Edge Browser which had been upgraded from the retired Internet Explorer, is giving similar experiences as the Google Chrome. I personally still set Google Chrome as my default browser when using it for all my internet pages consumption. No matter how bad others will said about chrome and its vulnerabilities, I think ultimately everyone have to adopt the "always up to date" google chrome update approach to always keep the vulnerabilities and securities in check. 😏

Its time for a car ride to Malacca from Singapore !

Today, it is time for a family trip to Malacca from Singapore. Got ready from my SGD$15 luggage, probably cheapest from what everyone else are using. And of course, to properly stress test my new GoPro Hero 11 Black together with the rest of my accessories. Booked two Premier Junior Suites from a 5-Star Hotel which I will also be doing a review soon. Its time to enjoy my usual Chicken Rice Ball and San Shu Gong (Jonker Street).

The cheapest Cai Fan in City Bugis Junction !

I was amazed, very amazed that I could get this box of cai fan at SGD$2.50. I had one meat, one steamed egg and potato. Furthermore it is from Malaysia Boleh Cai Fan Stall at Bugis Junction ! Food Court Cai Fan is well known to be extremely expensive. As a result from the savings, I get the Toast Box Kopi O Kosong Large. But it cost more than the cai fan at SGD$2.70 😞. But no choice, I need to survive work with 2 cups of coffee everyday. 😕

Clash Of Clan - My TownHall finally upgraded from TH12 to TH13

FINALLY 😆I had took lots of sweat and blood to upgrade from TH12 to TH13. Still maintain as a F2P player for this long term game. 9 whole years into this game is definitely not easy lar. A word of tip is to keep upgrading your attacking heroes and units as well as related army camp because this is really a grinding resources game where you need to constantly looting your enemies' base resources. From what I gauge, I think i might be staying TH13 until September 2023 before upgrading to TH14. As for Builder Base, I almost maxed out every building and wall. Hoping that Supercell will release new contents on the builder base soon. Feel free to add me as friend in-game -> #LVVYJJPL | IGN: DarkMicro 😃 and happy gaming !

ScamShield for Android

ScamShield for Apple IOS had been out for quite some time (About 2 years ago). Finally today the Android version is out. It block unsolicited messages and calls. These scam calls can be very irritating when you are expecting a call or when your job require instant response on your phone. Do consider downloading it to help reduce these spams. Several years ago, it works well on my iPhone 12 and 13 Pro Max. Now it is working for my Samsung Z Fold 4.

Grocholl Rosti - Made in Germany

At first glance of this product in our local supermarket, it caught my eye for several weeks and eventually one day, I got to get it and try. From the look of it from the package, it sure looks delicious. I think from what I say so far, I guess most of you will know where am I coming from. Best of all, no need to store into the fridge and able to last for a very long time from their expiry date. So the final outcome is, this is really bad and does not taste like what I thought about it. Maybe an asian tongue like me do not know how to appreciate this, but I really can't swallow everything. Oh well, so what i can say is, try it at your own risk. 😰 Maybe you might like it though.

Lenovo Legion Armoured Backpack

My number 1 choice for my working backpack. Due to the nature of my job and to ensure certain items or necessary tools are always with me on the move, this backpack is able to store many of my items. There are also many secret compartment to place my emergency money or mask. Mask still is necessary while travelling on public transports and visiting of hospital at this point of writing. So I got another replacement of my same bag which I had used for more than 2 years. It started to wear off since I am practically using it almost everyday. I got to say that this bag also able to withstand lots of hit. 😞 I'm always having two working laptops, one tablet, multiple power adapters, multiple HDD, SSD and Flash Drives, Screwdrivers, basically more USB hubs, water bottles, thermal flask and so on. Henceforth my bag is always very heavy. I'm used to the weight, but this bag is fact very durable. The cost of this bag came down from SGD$120+ to the current retail price of SGD$84.55. However, my first bag, i got it for SGD$50 and this time my second bag only cost SGD$35 from legitimate source. At this price, it is definitely damn value for money as compared to bag you can get from this amount.

Fu Lin Original Fu Lin Fried Yong Tofu, since 1995

Tabao lunch from Fu Lin Original Fu Lin Fried Yong Tofu, since 1995 as all the seats were full and taken. In town, no choice as it is expensive, so price wise is quite decent. But most importantly is, the quality and standard is there. It is a good dish of Fried Yong Tofu, where you choose your own choices of ingredient there and they will cook it for you accordingly. Of course for takeaway, be prepared to pay extra for the boxes.

Singapore Formula 1 Marina Bay Street Circuit

Was at the Singapore Formula 1 Marina Bay Street Circuit restricted zone where public have to pay the tickets to get in. 😆 All right, there is a valid reason why I could get in, but that is not the point. From the sight of it when it was one day before the actual day of event, we could see every single staff was working very hard to prepare and make Formula 1 a success as usual. Tickets are still available. Grab them while stock lasts ! 

M&S -Food- Classic Mayo Review

Bought this Classic Mayo from M&S -Food- at Vivocity upon closing time since I am in the area. So the origin is made from the UK. To be frank, the mayo taste is very mild and does not goes well with my fried food products. To describe the taste, it is close to tar tar sauce rather than classic mayo. Therefore will not recommend anyone to get this. Of course this is based on my personal preference. You can try it out yourself. But my number 1 choice of mayo belong to Hellmann’s REAL MAYONNAISE. 

KFC Chicken getting smaller and smaller...

Well it is getting smaller over the past few decades. If I am able to generate a chart, it will be a downward trend on the size of the chicken and uptrend for the price of the chicken. I personally paid for the 3 pieces chicken meal set which 100% exceeded the $10 mark. The top right, I ordered 3 pieces chicken set and added three pieces of tender chickens. They lump it together so it still looks little and tiny. Bottom right, I also order takeaway of 3 pieces chicken meal and I got two small drumsticks and one medium sized thigh. So with that, I can confirm that what Mothership reported is legit lar. What to do? And it is going to price even higher next year. 😩

Cheap and Decent Americano from 7-Eleven @ Canberra Plaza

Just nice they were running a 50% off for Hot Americano every Monday at 7-Eleven. So I am always open to trying out cheap and good deal. Original price is SGD$1.70 for a cup of Americano. So I am spending only $0.85 for this good cup of americano. I got to say that it is on par with McDonald's Black Coffee as it is thick enough. But cup is a bit small though. However, the cashier didn't know their own promotional item and went ahead to charge me $1.70. So I had to remind him and fortunately is valid before I proceed to brew my Americano at this coffee machine. 😝

Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary

Taken using my Oppo Reno 10X Zoom Camera in 2019

Happy 10th Wedding Anniversary together with my wife. Had pre-bought both of us a gold ring each. At the same time to throw back the time we went to this iconic tourist spot, The Blue Pond in Biei, Hokkaido and what you see the Shirahige Falls which the water is flowed down from the cliff face into Biei River. Engaged one of the tour from Sapporo to take the bus down to this site. 10 years just flew by very fast. Think most of the time were just procrastination, joining the flow of life. It is only last year where event happen, only then people will start to break out of procrastination. Wishing for many good years to come. 😁

Pringles Made in Japan Egg Sandwich Flavour Potato Chip

Got this from NTUC Finest under the Imported Made in Japan products section at Causeway Point. As the description goes, yeah the potato chip is still in the same shape, but it really had egg sandwich flavour from every bite you eat. It is small portion so one container probably enough for one person. But taste wise is decent, not too heavy and not too light. 

BGain261 Eating House - Drink Store

Having my usual lunch here at BGain261 Eating House, a local kopitiam at Waterloo Street. There are many good food here like the famous chicken rice stall and also the cai fan stall have many good ingredients. However, today I want to talk about the drinks here. Guess how much is this Coke Light? It cost me SGD$1.90. I know some stalls selling at SGD$2.00 also and I had avoided them. But didn't know that this store is also charging close to the $2 mark. The same can of coke light, i bought them at $3.10 for 4 cans. Sometimes it is cheaper when there is a promo. Because of this, I will be avoiding them as I am currently in a "FIRE" programme.

New Ananas Cafe at Canberra Bridge

Ananas Cafe is known to sell basic and budget fried bee hoon, fried guo tiao, fried mee, fried rice and almost fried stuffs with fried ingredients to add in. They also have a small budget chicken rice stall as well as drinks stall. Whatever stall opened in Canberra, I will always support, just like I always topped up my Ez-link at Canberra Station only and not any other places. So obviously, I had to spend and support. So for my first order at the stall, I ordered Fried Bee Hoon, Fried Guo Tiao with many ingredients and also roasted chicken rice. So always honest as usual, the fried bee hoon and fried guo tiao and their ingredients were good ! It is also affordable price as well. However, the chicken rice is a little disappointing. Rice is typically just white rice like you ordered at Cai Fan. Chicken portion is ok, but I think they lose in the flavoring in it. If placing the food taste aside, price is affordable and can fill up your stomach for sure. Let's hope their chicken rice can improve since they just open not long ago since trying out this.

Don Don Donki - Northpoint

Source From Mothership SG

For the Yishun Folks, it is time to Don Don Don Donkikikikiki.... It took the 13th attempt to finally make it here in the most Northern part of Singapore. Just for the nostalgic moment, at this current site used to be the Cold Storage where I won several toto winnings from it. So it is quite huat, but apparently Cold Storage not enough folks to support it. Opening at Northpoint is a good thing as I don't have to always visit the Novena and Somerset313 branches now. I can now get more food at my convienence. 😝 As this Don Don Donki at Northpoint is having a safari theme, it means that there will be exclusive stuffs that differentiate from the rest of the Don Don Donki outlet which is definitely a good thing. Looking forward to it !

7 Eleven - Discounted Scrambled Egg Burger with Chicken Sausage

After a late night work, decided to have a quick meal at 7 Eleven. These microwave food really reminds me of my university days. During the night classes break at around 8pm, my classmate and I always head to the campus' 7 Eleven's to try out every bento or dinner food, even instant noodles at times. Yeah I know this is unhealthy, but also because we need to have this meals quick before heading back to our classes till 10pm. So what I had here is the Scrambled Egg Burger with Chicken Sausage. Closest I can think off is the recent Mcdonald's Scrambled Egg Burger which is very much similar to this. After the microwave process, well at a price like $2.90 and after discount, $2.25, it tasted fine. In fact, it is not that bad. You still have your chicken meat, egg, cheese and bread. At least till 9.30pm, i still have such options during the late night.

McDonald - The hint is so REAL !

😂 Pretty obvious coming from McDonald Singapore for their teaser. Every time of the year, I always tried the Samurai Burger and later forgotten the taste. Not sure whether Samurai Burger indeed gives the effect of providing you the heavy taste and once cut by its blade. No one ever remember what happened again. Yeah so coming tomorrow and I will be probably getting it once again ! Definitely need to go through the overwhelming queue again.. 😓

MapleStory M - New Account New Meaning

Apparently, this is not the first time playing MapleStory M. In fact, I had previously played Aran still Level 140 [Hyper Level]. However, that is using my old facebook account which I had given up on using Facebook account. Therefore, there is no way for me to salvage my old MapleStory M account and given up on the progress of my Aran character. Today, I had a crazy thought and I actually downloaded MapleStory M, created a new character using my new Apple ID account. Started playing crazily from 8am to 6pm from Level 1. I managed to spend 10 hours from Level 1 [1st Job] to Level 110 [4th Job]. I am even able to carry other low level players to beat Zakum. WTF? I think someone in Youtube achieved faster levelling to 120. But I think its pretty amazing to climb up from new account to Level 110 within a day, not even considering 8 hours. Guess I shall maintain another game account from now on. 😂

My New GoPro Hero 11 !

So yeah, i bought a new and latest released GoPro Hero 11. This is a long overdue replacement of my trusty Canon PowerShot S120 which was later sold to a fine gentleman that wanted to use it for causal photoshoot of nature. My old Canon PowerShot S120 had accompanied me for the past 7 years for taking good quality photographs from all my travels at Taiwan, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and South Korea. Moving forward, my new GoPro Hero 11 will be next in line to accompany my journey towards explorations and local content creation. So far, I love handling it and it doesn't give me much problem except for one honest flaw. That is the low light photography and videography. To add on my real life usage, this GoPro Hero 11 is not good at handling places with less light. Of course to overcome this, is to provide additional lighting mod, or lighting equipment or totally avoid shooting in low light places. I will share more as I need to give more time to explore. All in all, I think GoPro Hero 11 had came a long way to the current generation and able to handle fast movement in videography. Watch out my Youtube video now for my first unboxing video of this GoPro Hero 11 !

Subway Review of 2022

Most of the time when I visited Subway, I would order 6 inch Roasted Chicken Breast Sub, roasted cheese, all vegetables and Mayo, together with a value meal with drinks and chip. Just a couple of years back, this would normally cost just slightly less than SGD$10. But nowadays, this typical meal will cost SGD$11.40 which I think is really too high for a simple lunch. If I will to break down the cost, I think $7.70 just for the 6 inch Roasted Chicken Breast Sub is pretty acceptable. But $3.70 for a small packet of chip with a 22oz cup of drink is pretty steep. Really think Subway should have room for lowering the "top up" meal from $3.70 to maybe $2.30. So that will typically make the above meal to SGD$10.00, which is much ok. Understand that business is business. On the other hand, I think Subway sandwiches are great and delicious.

Quail Eggs - Another alternative to Chicken Eggs

Quail Eggs is a great snack if you want to mix it with salads or eat it on its own. Typically, 3 Quail Eggs are equivalent to 1 chicken egg. They are pretty affordable too and simple to cook. Similarly with chicken egg, u can chose to fry or hard boiled it (usually). But of course one have to be patient to take out the shell from such a tiny egg. Taste wise, it is really similar to chicken egg. 

Singapore International Coin Fair 2022

Source Taken from Singapore International Coin Fair 2022 held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

Singapore International Coin Fair 2022 is held at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore from today till 18 Sep 2022. Time is stated as above. Today I will be joining my colleague to check out some deals to add to my collection. My colleague had been collecting gold and silver collectibles coins and bars every year for the past 30 years. For myself, I personally collect special edition cash notes and some gold bar. Since it is free admission, i guess you can start visiting these fair to start your collection today !

The Addiction Bistro - Kampong Chicken Rice

Bought this Kampong Chicken Rice from The Addiction Bistro opposite National Library for lunch. I ordered the Drumstick Chicken Rice Set with vegetables, Soup and a cup of Kopi O Kosong. Total cost slightly above $11. I think the vegetables and soup is normal. But chicken rice taste good. Just that it is a little pricey, maybe due to shortage issue lately. Usually came here for coffee and tea, their beverages considered OK. 

DJI Action 3 or GoPro Hero 11?

Was on the verge of clicking the buy button from the last launch for Insta360 X3. 😅 However, my focus for many years had been the GoPro Series. After skipping Gopro for the past 10 years from Gopro Hero 1 to Gopro Hero 10 as I am still relying on my trusty Canon S120 till I sold off last year, I guess I have to go for either one this year before GST were to surge up by the one percentage point. Therefore today is the big day where both DJI Action 3 and GoPro Hero 11 will be launching the product. The local Singapore time of launch will be 14 Sep 2022 8PM for DJI Action 3 and 14 Sep 2022 9PM for the GoPro Hero 11. As someone had already leaked out the box content yesterday, two particular product for me to decide, either the GoPro Hero 11 or GoPro Hero 11 Mini. According to GoPro tradition, normally one day after launch day, we can proceed to order the product online. The question as to which camera I will be going for, Insta360 X3, GoPro Hero 11 or DJI Action 3. I will probably go for GoPro Hero 11 for my leisure, hobby and content production works. Tonight will be the time to see which will convince and affect my decision making. 😄 Seriously looking forward to it !

Spam Deal at NTUC [Limited to 6 per purchase]

Currently at SGD$4.65 per can which save you $1.60 per can. So i bought 6 cans at $27.90 which save me around $9.60. Normally, it is also priced at $5.60 on average and its slowly increasing in price across the years. SPAM Luncheon meat is still one of the best luncheon meats in the world. Some time ago, i had been taking the 25% less sodium one as you know, it is much healthier which is bullshit, but taking away less salt actually helps abit lar. So this deal will last till 14 September 2022 (Wednesday) which is tomorrow. Get it while the promotion lasts...

Secret Offline Deals from SuperBrands - KaiKai App

There are really many secret methods where I can't share to reduce cost and earn great deals outside of my main job. But simple and basic things, sharing is caring and have no implication on any problems. So I got myself a $4 deal for a $7 meal. $3 saved from a nice meal. You can try Kai Kai App on your phone to get random deals. That is why the GST package is really helping a lot. People often say, $100 one trip in supermarket is finish. But HELLO, GST Package is to offset the "increase" of the usual groceries you getting, which will last for a while more. Not to complicate stuffs and adding in the price increase, it is more of buying the same thing at $400. After a 1% GST increase next year, the same item are $404. So that is to help out with the $4. So having these deals of saving $3 in fact is also helping yourself to defray the cost further lah. 😒

New Launch of Insta360 X3

What a timely launch as I am currently on the lookout for Action Camera or 360 Camera. GoPro next gen might be launching this month as they might be having 4 different variant of launch. I am particularly new to the 360 camera market and I might be getting one of this soon. However, they are having the same price range as GoPro Hero 11 series. Insta360 X3 is great because it have lots of improvements as compared with the previous Insta360 One X2. Since i do not own the Insta360 One X2, i think it make a lot of sense buying the latest Insta360 X3 to bring my videos to the next level. 😊

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋快乐 [2022]

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all ! Enjoying your mooncake while appreciating the moon. For me? I enjoy my mooncake with Ya Kun Teh C Kosong with artificial mooncake on my PC. 😀 Working today and wishes all to enjoy your day with families and friends ! Bought this from the recent Taka sales as my wife loves Doraemon, while I will assist with the eating. 😎

Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup [MADE IN USA]

All right. I personally loves to drink Mushroom Soup, well I guess most people do anyway. 😡BUT before that, make sure you understand which country did this Cream of Mushroom comes from ! Yes this is made in the USA. This particular brand and origin is really really bad. The taste is really bad and bland that I think most asians will agree with me. The Campbell's Cream of Mushroom that was made in Malaysia is way much better than this which is made in the USA. Malaysia produced Campbell's Mushroom Soup really suit us Asians well as it is a little at the saltier side. So yeah, be careful not to buy the wrong one. I purposely buy this to try it and very much regretted it.

Don Don Donki Frozen Oden Set [10 Pieces]

Tried this Frozen Oden set from Don Don Donki at $12.90. I felt that the soup base is really good as compared with the ones in NTUC. Actually it is isn't 10 pieces, they probably meant to be 10 different types of pieces, so the portion is definitely enough for 2 people. If you think the portion isn't enough still, you can pretty much add some more meat or vegetables to supplement it. No hard rules and you can simply just eat it as a form of steamboat as well. So I personally recommend my readers to try.

Mooncake Festival is coming !

Mooncake Festival is coming soon in 3 days time. Most Mooncakes at this point could be at their peak as some people might missed out the early deals of 2 to 3 weeks ago. In fact, this year I didn't get anything from JB Malaysia, but get it from Singapore instead. I think in terms of quality and price was still all right since I bought it 3 weeks ago. Got a few variants ranging from different areas and so far, I had started eating. Both the cheaper and abit more expensive ones, in terms of taste, it is very similar. 

Another visit to Gyoza Ohsho

As usual, still my favourite place to enjoy my Cha Han and Gyoza. You will never go wrong to order any dish from here. The place also called Gyoza Ohsho is an old Japanese-Style Chinese Cuisine. Till date after so many years, the standard is still being maintained and consistent for their food. You do not need to order any drinks, as they offered free unlimited supply of tap water. 😆 Just spend on their combos and it should be enough for anyone. Do try out their green chilli too especially with your cha han. Really goes well with it. GUARANTEED !

Free U.S. PORK Bag =D

Purposely spent more than $12 to get the free bag, because I think the U.S. Pork Bag looks hilarious. 😆 Well, usually I will stock up lots of SPAM Luncheon meat for my regular meals at home. It is still the number 1 Luncheon meat till date. Tested the Mili version and it is the same type as Ma Ling brand. About 3 decades ago, my mum used to fry the Ma Ling Luncheon Meat, during that time, it was the best to go with bread or fried rice. Nowadays, Ma Ling version had changed and went down from Tier A to Tier F. As the Mili one tasted similar as the Ma Ling version, hence it is around Tier D range. Well, doubt i will carry this out, as some may not be happy with me holding this. 😏

Major Update Finally for my Wallpaper Engine Application !

Having purchased and supporting the Wallpaper Engine application on my desktop and laptops, i had used them for probably 4 years now. Finally this year, they had released and expanded to Android devices as well. A truly awesome product and helped to improve the overall aesthetic of my background instead of static wallpapers. Will be piloting on my Samsung Tab S7 before rolling out to my Samsung Z Fold 4. Damn I get very addicted to my Samsung Z Fold 4 and seriously it is worth every penny spent ! 😍 For those interested in Wallpaper Engine, you can get it from Steam online store. 😇

Somersby WaterMelon Premium Cider + Something scary :/

First of all, i had been drinking their Apple Cider in bottled form for many years. Lately, I tried their new Watermelon cider. I think it is not that bad also ! I think the bottle and can is only 10ml difference. But one can is able to have a good night rest easily. So I recommend anyone to try this. Take note, there is alcohol content.

Secondly, whats more scary is.... I just took a photo of the above Somersby Water Premium Cider and did not done any search of the keyword. The next moment while browsing social media, this ad suddenly pop up in front of me. Too much of a coincidence? 🍺😯 

[Dumb Fuck Series] Episode 2: A very good book on understanding and how to deal with Narcissists.

Went to the book launch and they are running a book launch offer and a mirror perfect for practicing against Narcissists. They are increasing in the world, especially to the younger generations. Not surprising that I noticed that there are one or two Narcissists existed in the place I am working in. Seriously, because of one of the biggest and worst situation happened in 2021, that is where I had evolved and immediately shutdown and uninstall my social media accounts to prevent further corruption from it. Fast forward to Mid 2022, another problem is the change of environment instead of roving around. The toxicity is strong  and I had learnt some good tactic in this book to help reflect away these negative people. The worst thing is these people doesn't know that they have some issues and are confused of their actions. I want to help, but they are not helping themselves. 😌 Thanks to this book, I returned back to the same calm person and continue wearing the anti-narcissist mask. 😀

Sadia (Brazil) Frozen Chicken Griller

Actually regardless whether Malaysia can or cannot supply chicken, there are really many ways to eat chicken lar. With the rising costs of fresh chicken, actually the cheaper alternative of frozen chicken is still good if you buy and cook at home. Even the famous comparison of a plate of chicken rice nowadays is priced the same as I bought this whole frozen chicken. Season with olive oil, salt and black pepper. Grill it for about 40 minutes and it is already good to eat it on its own. Add on with your favourite sauce of Chilli or Mayo and this is even cheaper than your Western Whole Spring Chicken at SGD$13.90 where you can even use that same $13.90 to buy three of these frozen chicken ! 🐔
