Rain's Love Notes - No Gadgets Day

Can you still remember the time when there was no smart phones, iPads, or any other tablets? What was our favorite pastime during that time when we are waiting for the MRT or bus?
Now-a-day, everyone in the world had a common pastime, and that is 'lowering our heads everywhere we go' , in Chinese, '低头族'. Even if you are with your friends, or love ones, you'll still be pressing your phones all the way, isn't it?

Just few weeks ago, while dining out, I saw a family of 4 dining at a restaurant, with minimal interactions. All 4 of them are playing with their mobile phones and iPads, and the waitress actually approached them more than 2 times to get their orders. After their food arrived, they still did not talk to each other, just eat and continue looking at their mobile phones and iPads. Why eat together if you do not intend to interact with each other?


Set a day of outing and leave all your gadget out for the day. Interact with each other instead. Stop looking at your mobile phones or iPads and start looking at each other in the eyes... Enjoy some together time without all these technology. Instead, Give your love ones the attention they've been longing for.

Reviews: Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel

I've never been a fan of peeling gel. I've tried a few brands before, but somehow, I don't think that it works. It's not that it doesn't clear the dead skin, but rather, I can use the peeling gel continuously 3 times on the same place and still, there are lots of dead skin. So it's either the peeling gel doesn't work or I've got too much dead skin.... I got this sample months back when I shopped at the Pop-Up store at Ion. I tot I should try this out since I've been enjoying some of their products. It's a clear gel, turns watery upon application. I like the fact that the dead skins clumps together instead of the usual when they will drop everywhere in the bathroom. I did a second 'test' right after the first usage on the same area. Guess what?  Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel is really up to my expectations.... The first application had removed quite a bit of the dead skin on my hands, and during th...

Check out the seller's/Shop's review Compare and check the reviews. Look out for details such as quality, delivery and seller's service. I will normally skip products that are cheap but there's no review, as I don't like to take risks. I will rather spend a few dollars more to buy from reputable sellers/shops. Another thing to take note is that a ...
