Farming Game Apps


FarmLand is a game that keeps you busy all the time. I try to keep up with all the clicking on-screen until I get bored and move on.


Taonga the Island Farm is similar to Bermuda Adventures Farm in gameplay, only difference is the themes. Taonga has a Polynesian theme with adventures based on pirates and witchcraft. Bermuda has a more current & modern look with adventures based on sci-fi. 


The Sims doesn't have farming, it's called gardening and there are no farm animals involved (only pets).

The New Grocer

Looking for cheese imports here in Singapore and trying out a new supplier The New Grocer ($10 discount from my facebook page). There are loads of different types of cheeses from Europe and in larger quantities than just 100gm or 200gm. But, this is like searching in the dark, am I supposed to buy everything and try everything?

I did buy individual portions of tartiflette and raclette bacon, both are potatoes in cheese difference being type of cheese used as well as the herbs inside.

Someone was telling me to try comte cheese, I also added in queso al pimento or paprika goat cheese, smoked cheddar and smoked scarmoza.

To make a charcuterie platter, I am trying out their in-house deli selections for Italian, French and Iberico. Some artisanal pork pate and mini seasonal saucisson. I really liked the canned pates so far, hoping the fresh ones are ok.

Staying @ Home

 


Homemade $20 salad, at least the cherry tomatoes aren't sour this time.


Home fragrance instead of personal perfume, it's still perfume and I can spray it all the time at home. Going with the really sweet scents coz it makes a difference.


New laundry detergent pods, how exactly do you use this?


Instead of buying an oxygen nebulizer, I bought these tourist-y oxygen cans instead. Thought I could do without, but it actually came in handy.


Back to fresh vegetable platters, I am obsessed with this right now. Its a good thing the veges are washed clean before packing and are ready to eat. Adding in a french onion dip this time around, usually I go with flavored salt or recommended yogurt / sour cream.

FragranceX.com

Free international shipping above $80 spend and it's all discounted perfumes. I spent under $5 for a Jessica Simpson perfumed shower gel and under $5 for a Wonderstruck II perfume sample.

10 variations of my favorite EA Green Tea perfume @ $20 per 100ml bottle, one of which is a body mist. Soo excited with this purchase, I use this scent to keep my sense of calm and go through it quickly.

Some more EA perfumes @ $35 per 100ml bottle, the price is really good if you would believe it coz I normally pay double that for the same thing. True Love a powdery iris scent, Pretty a light musky floral, 5th Avenue a green citrus-y floral.


Chopard Wish perfume that to me smells like what perfume should smell like. It's described as fruity and woody. I like the perfume bottle that looks like an ornament you are supposed to hang up. I also like the Mugler perfume bottles but haven't bought it before.

6 Ferragamo scents, mainly Incanto and Signoria in parfum bottles ($45 each) then the 4 Incanto variations in tester edt bottles ($35 each). These are all fruity woody scents, so I know it's all proper perfume and was recommended to me by friends.

Perfume from Strawberrynet

 I have been surviving on perfume samples for a while now and finally ordered perfume from Strawberrynet, there is an extra charge on perfume orders for whatever reason but the discounts on that day cancelled out the extra charges *whew*.

There's a whole bunch of perfumes I want to get but Strawberrynet only has some of it, the price of parfum is the same as eau de toilette in the other sites so it is still a better deal. Gonna wait for the rest of the local sites to have discounts before I go back and get the rest of the perfumes.


Lalique Amethyst is meant to be more for the home and less for the individual. It's vanilla beans, black & red berries, orchids. It's definitely sweet and berrylicious with a smooth vanilla finish. There is a limited edition Epines Crystal candle with the same fragrance $1,200 euros.

Miss Dior is a powdery vanilla scent light on the multi-floral fragrance. It's still sweet and more vanilla than Lalique Amethyst, the flowers in the background smell a little dusty though maybe it's the sandalwood. There is a Millefiori candle available in boutiques that has the same fragrance $83.


Some other stuff I got are Hermes body lotion (thought it was full size), Decleor miceller water (makeup remover), Fenty matte complexion kit, Whoo Bichup first moisture set (this 9th edition set features plum & magnolia flowers), some free gifts from Natural Beauty. 

Versace Bright Crystal edt set with bag and I have to admit I bought it for the bag that already has a chain attached, such coffrets are not common. The perfume itself is bright and citrus-y.
