Daiso Washing Machine Drum Cleaner

Bought this oxygen based washing machine drum cleaner from Daiso to try for fun.

Chinese New Year is coming and it is time to spring clean the washing machine too!


According to the instructions, pour the entire contents of 1 sachet (2 sachets in a pack) into the washing machine drum and operate the machine for 2-3 minutes for the water to fill up and mix the cleaner uniformly.
Thereafter, switch off the machine and let the solution sit for 2-3 hours. Final step is to operate the washing machine as per normal for 1 cleaning cycle to enable the solution to wash out.


One thing to keep a lookout for as a gauge that cleaning has completed is when the sitting solution changes from light green to white.


Personally, I think it helps to remove the musty smell which might lingers around the washing drum if we didn't manage to 'air' the drum thoroughly after each wash.

Candlelight dinner for HIS birthday

My first attempt at candlelight dinner while enjoying the city view with HIM (but HE is still busy Diablo-ing and is totally unaware of this surprise!)

Hopefully he likes it :)

吴奇隆 - 祝你一路顺风

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TfMgg9-QiA8


It has been close to half a year since you have left us...


Although we have not been really close, listening to this song on YES 933.3 FM just brought back all the memories...


I am just glad that you have moved on to a better place...


RIP

Don't use your handphone if you are driving...

How to drive when you are holding your handphone in 1 hand while trying to steer with the other hand?
Did you realize you are taking up 2 out of 3 lanes in your attempt to multi-task during peak hour traffic...

City square, Johor Bahru

Went to JB earlier today with the parents and traffic was horrible. Clearance @ JB Checkpoint was a nightmare. Queues for all counters were snaking almost till the end of the arrival hall.


Renovations at City Square seems to be completed for the lower levels. Saw this famous Hong Kong dessert outlet Xu Liu Shan inside the mall. There is also this new xiaolongbao restaurant called "Long De Chuan Ren" in Chinese. Lots of people queuing at both restaurants.


Walked past this new bakery called "Lavender" and bought some stuff to try. Their tuna bun tasted average. It has this weird red powdery topping which tasted slightly pepper-ish. RM2.90 lo! Also bought their pandan cake (RM7) and kaya jam (RM5) to try. Personally, I feel that their prices are catered for Singaporeans.

City Square is rapidly turning into another Singaporean style mall. It would be better if there is a decent sized supermarket there. The auntie cells in me!


One word of caution though, please change currency in Singapore (RM248.50). Rates were super low in JB (RM244.20).

Ah Boys to Men - Review

Just watched Ah Boys to Men with HIM... Quite a funny and heart warming in local context.

Gained some new knowledge about NS terminology, eg: CB leaf (which HE brought up previously but simply refuses to elaborate further).

Personally, I felt that the movie is worth watching and it would be even better if it is a complete movie instead of being split up into 2 parts. No doubt the 'break' was quite nicely done.

Review of obdo mask

20121203-221123.jpg
Finally used this last piece of obdo mask. It contains coenzyme Q10, collagen and ginseng. It is supposed to prevent wrinkles, moisturise the skin and improve skin elasticity.

The previous 2 times that I tried it (left it on overnight as per instructions overleaf), I was quite happy with the results (whiter and more moisturised skin). However, the ginseng smell is quite strong.
