I wonder what do you think about READING MAGAZINES on your computer? Well, i think its saves the earth by reducing printing and waste and these days we spend most our time on the computer then anything else.
I recognise the fact that hard copies of magazines and books are still one of our favorites and i can go on and on about the multiple usages of overdue copies of the magazines...
However, i took it as a new challenge to read magazine on my lappy and I found it more interactive and fun then ever. There are thousand and one online magazine shops but i chose ZINIO because of its very good deals. I could get some overseas magazines for just a fraction of its price at the local book store. I do receive some free magazines occassionally with them as well... Its really good.....
You may subscribe or download some free copies of magazine for viewing first. I don't deny that there will be some getting used to... But its good...
Firstly, the magazines are cheaper.... but they arrive more timely then the actual print. It flips just like a normal magazine then again, it is prone to your lappy's Speed. The files are not huge and you may download them into more then one computer. They are also stored online and if you log in at your work computer, you can download the current copy and the past copies right into your 2nd computer at work... Some magazines are interactive... On some pages, you can see videos, music and multiple images on one page.
You must really try it.. Its FUN and It SAVES THE EARTH.....

Me too when to a complimentary massage session at Body Wellness.... The treatment was pretty comfortable, not fabulous but OK....
But i didn't really like the no emotions face the staff put on. Its rather not welcoming. The environment was relaxy... and during my hot wrap therapy, the lady that massaged me were talking with her staff outside my room at the walkway... The partition was thin..... i could hear the exclaimation the laughter and everything else... Talk about resting and relaxing.....
After my session, they showed me into this mean looking room and started to rattle on their packages. I kindly rejected them, but they insisted on telling me more... Coaxing my credit card out of my wallet.... I did not purge.... Just insisted NO.....
I should just say... good range of services... but got much to work on the staffs.

Werner's Oven is a famous German bakery and restaurant situated along Upper East Coast in the Siglap area.
I've been buying bread from them for ages and only today, I've tasted the food in their restaurant.
They have good pastries in their bakery. Great if you love wholemeal bread with all kinds of breads and seeds. I love the Fitness Bread which goes for $6.45. It's really healthy but quite costly at that price as one loaf can only be cut into about 15 pieces.
Food ordered (for 6 adults)
Schlachtplatte for 3
A knuckle, smoked sausage, farmer's sausage, wild garlic sausage, two kassler and nurnbergerle, sauerkraut, mashed potatoes and brezel
Beef Lasagne
Calamari
Breadcrumbed Fish
The Calamari came first and it was very fresh. It was deep fried in a special batter but not very oily. The batter was delicious although not light.
The Beef Lasagne came next. It was pretty decent, served with potato salad.
The Schlachtplatte was the ultimate. There were a variety of sausages (German fare) and a huge pork knuckle. There were also two pretzels. It filled up the stomachs of 5 hungry adults.
They also serve a variety of German beers which was ordered at every table but ours. The ambience is pretty casual and cosy. The service was fine, though not fantastic.
Really worth a try. We spend about $100 which is about $16 per person.

Interested in getting a Brazilian WAX? For First Timers... you must come to Revive Wellness and especially ask for Lynn...
I guess many have definitely heard of brazilian waxing and it is always associated with pain, but I'm quite sure its worth the effort... after which you could see your tropical rainforest bare with baby smooth skin....
You need some courage to do such kind of waxing and Lynn is very assuring and accomodating...
When i first stepped in Revive wellness, the soothing aroma of the essential oils soothes me from my rush rush. It is not Huge but its very cosy. The lighting and interior design brings about a relaxing atmosphere, immediately I felt calmness within me.
The ladies working there were helpful and nice. They showed me to a spacious restroom where I can wash up and slip into the comfy 100% SILK Jap Style Bathrobe.. It was very sweet and I have since decided to get myself a couple of those beautiful comfy robes.
I was then showed into another room when Lynn introduced herself and brief me about the procedure.. She even provided me with cushions and asked me if I was comfortable. She is very assuring and resourceful as she made use of many nominal things to prop me up in many ways and it was very very comfortable.
First she covered your legs with a warm towel and trimmed the area. She did it so gently that there was no need for embarassing feelings. Then she applied some cool lotions.
I really liked the different creme being applied. There was one for clensing, one to numb and one to soothe... When the wax is being applied, it was warm and very SHIOK.. and then the ripping part in which is quick and it sure did remove alot of hair, best of all, you could see the white heads of the hair (Sense of Establishment).
It felt exactly like when you get smacked on your thighs. Its like a one time pain, BEARABLE yet it goes away real QUICK and leaves a nice bare portion. The whole process was so quick and I was very very comfortable. The soothing music and comfy environment made me a little sleepy despite the supposedly aggitating process. Lynn was really attentive to my emotions and needs. She made the whole process such a brisk and fun one.
The wax has got different flavours. The one i choose is the Strawberry one... Its a nice pinky tinge and its very soothing. They do have the chocolate version for it, and if you like it chocolatie you can ask them for it. The wax they use is unlike other kinds. It rips off cleanly and does not leave ugly wax bits behind. Unlike strip Waxing, Soft Wax rids hair more cleanly and drags the roots up with them rather strip wax is just acting on the surface.
After the wax, they offer me nice cup of ginger tea and it just completes the whole experience. The other I like about their service is that they are not pushy to buy their packages. Everything is so relaxing and simple. I'm sure to bring my friends back there again.
Its fun and the afterward effects are Fabulous.......

Yes, its creamery. But is there more to it?
After reading so much about Island Creamery from blogs and hearing people talk about it in forum, finally I went to check the place out yesterday. Rushed down to meet a group of bloggers at Serene Centre after a quicky at Games Convention over at Suntec.
First thing that came to mind upon entering the small shop at the corner of Serene Centre was, "Hmm... another one with photo wall, just like pitstop." The big wall opposite the counter was covered with photos taken by the customers of Island Creamery. They have a portable photo printer where you can use to print your photos on the spot, scribble your names and what not on the photo and have a piece of the wall for your group. This is a very nice way to fill-up blank spaces on the wall as it added colors to the place with all the photos. This might also be one of the pulling factor that draws customers to return to see if they can spot their photos again few months later at the same spot or if any friends they know visited the place too.
So what can you find other than the photo wall at Island Creamery? Ice-cream of course! And in many interesting flavors too. One of the other attraction is the many local taste flavored ice-creams available. Find Teh Tarik, Pulua Hitum, Chendol, Apple Pie, Holick, Milo and many other flavors that'll make you want to try them all.
My group bought 4 tubs for $8 each and shared. Flavors are Nutella, ReversO, Burnt Caramel and Teh Tarik. I tried them all and concluded that other than the unique flavors and taste, that tasted just the way they should, there's really nothing much to rave about. The ice-cream is too creamery for my liking. And they are very sweet too. I had to drink 2 gulps of water after each scope (small scope) of ice-cream.
My bf bought a scope (at $2.50) of the berry mixed flavor to try. We both felt that this one tasted slightly better as the sourness from berries somehow lessen the sweet taste of the ice cream. And you can taste the berries and had to crew on it.
There're other better ice creams out there. If I were to return to Island Creamery, it would either be for another gathering or someone invited me there for free ice-cream. Other than that, I'll probably not return for the ice cream.

If you love Kong Bak Pau.. (Braised Pork Bun) then WESTLAKE should be a farmiliar name to you. Being the winner of the excellent food award, westlake sends their braised pork bun everywhere. Many might have tasted their yummy buns but had never seen or eaten in the restaurant before.
WESTLAKE, a very old yet very good restaurant serves fabulously YUMMY traditional chinese food in every style. It is situated at the OLD HDB houses at queen's street in between farrer road and bukit timah road. Humble looking yet thriving with customers. I especially loved the outdoor sits as during a cool day, you could really enjoy the nice breeze, have your chinese tea and delectable crabs as well as the wonderful attention of the many waiters and waitresses... I could say their service is fast and good. For traditional chinese restuarants, i always face the problem of catching the attention of the waitresses and they usually come with an attitude. But here at WESTLAKE.. it seemed so different.
I also love to order the braised pork bun and usually have to DA BAO some back home. The soft moist buns filled with tender dark squares of glistening plush belly meat in tasty dark sauce is simply too irrisistable. I love how juicy it was when i bite into it while the meat is thinly slices and it simply melts in your mouth. These buns are not small... They are actually pretty huge when compared to other pork buns.
If you like chinese food, this is really a place to go. I would suggest go ALFRESCO if you can. There are also many other dishes like dim sum, crabs, hot and sour sichuan soup which are all yummy to choose from.
Food so good... its hard not to recommend my friends there......

If you like fishing, there are just a few places to go to in singapore. One of these places will be West Lake Fishing Village. There are plenty to do there instead of just fishing for fishes, you can also fish for prawn and there is arcade and snooker or pool for the entertainment of the entire family.
They are open almost 24 hours but you can either fish for a 4 to 6 hour time slot or get the 12 hour slots.... I tried fishing there once for the overnight fishing. It is an interesting place especially during weekends. You can see anglers using all sorts of tactics and baits just to capture those poor fishes.
You must note the time when they release the fishes from the cages as these fishes come hungry.... Everybody is busy and it is an excellent place to meet fellow anglers and exchange experiences and tactics.
Most fishes there are KIM BAK LOR... but there are some other species but very sparse.. I really nice place to hang out if you would just wanna relax and try something different other then cheonging every night.
They sell almost everything at the small shop there.. baits, accessories and rental of rods......
For the FUN n FOR the experience...

Challenger is a popular chain with a few stores around Singapore. They sell computers, computer peripherals, mobile phones, televisions, etc.
Dropped by today to get a webcam for my sister. They have quite a selection there from those "branded" ones to the lesser known ones. Needless to say there's a range of prices to suit your budget.
I found what I needed then proceeded to look for Data transfer cables... I went over and saw a whole rack of it... I didn't see the kind that I needed and asked the salesperson about it. He then pointed to the same rack I had just walked from. He made no move to walk over and show me which one.
Thinking that I might have remembered wrongly, i just took one that said data transfer... and consulted him again (I walked over to where he was) then he said... 'ya ya this is the one." I explained my purpose to him again and he just nodded his head. Then I explained how I used to see that there was a box thingy... then he gave a puzzled expression, walked away without saying anything and consulted a lady nearby. The lady replied loudly, "no stock no stock"
I very nearly bought the wrong thing because he refused to listen properly and had poor product knowledge.
This outlet is not as well stocked as the rest as it's much smaller... it also seemed like it had more LCD TVs then computer stuff...

Kobayashi is a small fast food outlet tucked away on the second level of Eastpoint Shopping Mall (near the lift lobby).
It serves up cheap Jap food (priced between $5-$14). They have plenty of one dish meals and some bento sets, along with ala-carte side orders. Their system is really like a fast food restaurant where you have to go to the counter, order and get your food immediately.
Food we ordered
Chicken Katsudon (Fried chicken with rice and egg)
Chicken Katsu Ramen (Fried chicken with noodles in soup)
Beef Ramen (Beef with noodles in soup)
Ice Green Tea
The Chicken Katsu was very crisp and tasty. The rice was soft and slightly sticky, as what is expected of Jap food. As for the Chicken Katsu Ramen, the noodles was fine. But the serving was small so my companion ordered a Beef Ramen after finishing his first bowl. They had more people then and the food became nasty. The ramen in the second bowl was overcooked and all stuck together... The beef was almost non-existent.
We paid about $20 and finished our food in under 20 minutes. It was ok but not really value for money. Good alternative if you're sick of Macs or BK...

I was really surprised that there is such a fabulous place in an area so ULU...... I was told by my dad that i could get a good servicing for my car at the AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY shop just opposite the OLD TAMAN JURONG SWIMMING POOL.
And so, I went. It was easy to locate as they had a big LOGO stating GOOD-YEAR TIRES outside their shop.... It is huge. As i drove in shortly after lunch hours, there's this really nice guy that came to ask me how can he help. So i told him i want to do servicing and he asked politely if he could help me get my car on the plateform... I was already impressed....... So i alighted and stood by my car when another service personnel showed me into a large aircon sitting area with a pantry and coffee machine. I was very impressed.
After making myself a coffee, i got myself sitted in front of the LCD TV to watch some news and there were various magazines of every topic available to view. I was happie as i am sure I will not be bored while waiting.
There was a very clean toilet and power plugs if you need to use your lap top to do some work. Shortly afterwards, one guy came in to advice me on the car. He told me how he would service my car and asked if i wanted to change the tires as they checked and found them quite bald. So i agreed and they cleaned the tire areas and portion of my under carriage. On top of that, they also balanced my tires and fixed them to perfection.
I was very happie with the intense effort they put into servicing my car. They also carry a wide variety of products such as tires, RIMs, high end wipers, car washing and maintenence liquids, etc etc etc....
For the value for money and good job they do to my car, plus the very nice environment to laze while waiting with plenty of space to move about and beverages to keep you busy, it is hard not to recommend other car owners to visit them......
