Multiply vs Blogspot/Blogger

I have been using Multiply for some time.

Like the ways stuff are organised....blog,photos,videos,reviews,recipes,links...

Like the way we could restrict access to our blogs

Like the way we could change the skin easily...though I hardly change :P

BUT blogspot seems to be a lot more popular...

There is AdSense...where you can earn advertising income...provided your blog is interesting enough and attract enough hits

Easy to add gadgets.

What else?

I have created blogspot account for myself & B1, but didn't use much. What are the good reasons to switch to blogspot?

New Canon Printer MX868

SGD599 from Challenger. This model is supposed to replace MX850 which cost $499.

We chose the over the $899 MX7600 and there really isn't much differences to justify the $300 difference in price.

We finally retired our old Multi-Function printer Canon MP730. After chaning print head twice,which cost the same as getting a new printer.

This printer is Scan,Copy,Fax,Print 4-in-1,with PictBridge,Card-Direct Print,Photo Index Sheet,like our old printer,but has lots of new features the old one lack of.

Networkable,wi-fi,wireless printing,direct CD/DVD label printing,auto duplex scanning & copying, dual input source(good for separating photo paper and normal papers), Frames erase when copying,Multi-Scan(Up to 10 images in a single scan), Multi-crop,4-on-1 Copy.

Park Natura-Construction in Progress

14 June 2009 Sunday

No classes for B1 and Hb not going to church so we dropped by our new home's construction site to take a look after breakfast.

Now we know exact facing of our unit.

Views from the showflat

They close one showflat and re-do another.Very different from previous showflats' modern deco.Not something I would appreciate but it definitely would appeal to a certain segment/age group of buyers.

According to the agent, there are about 10+ units left, and we still see people coming in to view the showflats while we were there.

There is a new German International School across the road, occupying Bukit View Primary School's former campus.We hope it will be easy to rent out the unit and at good rental yields because of this.We plan to rent out the place for two years.By then B1 would have finished her Primary school, we can then decide if we want to move in to this new place, depending on which secondary school she's posted to.

Kids Meal in Foodcourt

I never like fish & chips & never order that in any restaurant for myself,and I don't really like chicken macaroni soup,chicken or fish porrdige or soya sauce chicken rice but I had to eat them sometimes as B1 couldn't finish it. I always thought why can't they can't have a kid-size version of all these kids-friendly food?

I was so delighted to see the big poster outside Lot 1's food court. No more sharing of food with B1 in food court now.

B1's favourite Fish & Chip with Yakult doesn't come cheap though.At S$5.80, that is more expensive that a lot of the adult-portion rice & noodles in the same food court.

H1N1

Received SMS from B1's enrichment centre this morning.104th case in S'pore is a boy from the centre, but not in B1's class.

More children are/will be coming back from holiday this week,just before school re-opens. Not surprising if there is sudden surge in the number of new cases.

Worry about school re-opens.After taking long leave for holiday, not able to take anymore leave, some irresponsible parents will still let their sick children attend school even if they are not well.

Review: K-Palette 24Hr Real Lasting Eyeliner

I bought this eyeliner in Tokyo in Dec 2006 and have been hooked since. I used to get it directly from Japan through CP (Custom Purchase) & Spree, until Watson started selling them at SGD18.90.

It's not called 1 Day Tattoo for no reason. It does stay on whole day until you take it off!

All the eyeliner which clamimed to be water-proof smudged. I realised that I needed oil-proof eyeliner and not water-proof.

Though the Original Version claimed as oil,sweat,water-proof in its product information, I found that it's more oil-proof than water-proof. If you have it on while watching Korean drama, it goes off easily,and it doesn't need make-up remover meant for water-proof makeup.

Now, there is another Water-proof version, which is more water-proof & sweat-proof.

Comparison in Japanese

Loreal & Clarins Gentle Eye Make-up remover remove this easily. Moisten cotton pad with warm water helps too. Simple Facial cleansing wipes are also good for removing this eyeliner.



The pencil tip is firm but not hard and it's very fine, so it make's drawing a fine line a breeze. It's quick-drying feature also avoid the eyeline staining eyelids.

As it last really well, do not use it to line inner eyeline,it can be very irritating to remove. If you always keep the cap tightly closed after use, it should last very several months, as you only need very little to draw 2 lines, and it lasted the whole day.

I love this product so much that when it launched the Eyebrow pencil in Dec 2006, I find all ways to get people to custom purchase it for me from Japan. The eyebrow pencil doesn't dissappoint me either,but that will be another review.

Hong Kong Disneyland:

There is baggage storage service near the entrance, so if you go Disneyland after shopping at citigate, you could deposit your bags there.Do note that they charge based on per piece, so it's best to bring along a big foldable shopping bag, and put all your shopping bags in.
