K drama & K food

Korean dramas and Korean food go hand in hand. I tried resisting the urge to eat Korean food featured in the drama series but couldn't. 

Having Bibigo fried chicken for supper coz I saw the company name in the Korean drama series "Business Proposal", its also a food company, not sure if its the same.

Netflix

Finally subscribed to Netflix on my phone and have been watching it all day. Just $21 a month and it allows access up to 4 devices so my whole family can join in as well. Can cancel anytime but with the children's channel full of cartoons, I don't think I will be doing that anytime soon. 

Korean drama serials especially the zombie ones are too good omg! Got in on the latest and most talked about drama serials from America like Bridgerton and Emily in Paris. Watched the latest Transformers movie The Last Knight. Cannot get enough of teen movies, Vanessa Hudgens is killing it. 

Also lotsa music concerts and the making of. When will I ever get to catch the next full length concert live in person, don't see anything in the near future.

Takashimaya Prosperity Bags

Takashimaya is the only departmental store that sells new year lucky bags online and also does home delivery! I received 1 bonus angpow inside one of the bags, never happened to me before 😀😮😁

Snowdown or artificial down pillows are 1-for-1, its super soft, I am super happy with this purchase. I also ordered the lucky bags for genuine down pillows and duvets from Old Empire, these are old world luxury goods.

Kinda disappointed with the towels lucky bag coz I was expecting one or two full sized bath towels and its 2 hand towels that retail for $50 each (Jap department store prices). I still have to make another trip out just to buy towels.

I bought the most expensive JBL lucky bag expecting a gaming headset with mouthpiece but its 2 Bluetooth items for complete wireless-ness. The headphones can receive incoming phone calls so you can listen to music and answer the phone at the same time. The boombox is a color changing speaker.

I bought 2 LeSportSac lucky bags expecting one of it to be sports luggage bag so I get one luggage bag and one regular bag. It turned out as 3 sling bags in XS, M, L and 1 luggage bag in XS with a matching wallet. The wallet is the same size as the XS sling bag. I am not picky about the patterns *signz*

Hasbro toy bag for girls has Baby Alive, My Little Pony, Trolls, Frozen, Peppa Pig, Monopoly. Hasbro toy bag for boys has Star Wars Monopoly, Spiderman, GI Joe, Ironman and Nerf. All of this will be gifts for other people.

Zuru toy bags contain super cute mystery surprises. The big egg is a fairy unicorn sparkly something, the smaller egg is a dog pet unicorn, 2 smaller angel wing eggs contain high school girls, artificial candy floss (decor item) and a tiny tea party playset.

Chantecaille skincare/cosmetics lucky bag. Several people I know have already purchased items from this brand so I am just joining in. You are looking at $1,000 worth of stuff, can you believe it. Its all swathed in perfume-y rose scent or is it peony?

Seeds from Taobao & AliExpress

 I am not sure what all these soil packs are, its mixed with something like white styrofoam inside. Maybe its just soil to get started coz plants pots are included as well. 

These are plant food or fertilizer packets similar to seed starters, want to make sure every single seed grows into a plant. Its like working with miniatures, need pincers or toothpicks.

Free gift are these rake & spade sets that are packed like disposable cutlery. It's also the size of disposable cutlery.

These are the seeds and tubers I ordered online. I cannot remember what I ordered coz its such a long list. I am sure there are orchids, multicolored chrysanthemums and jasmine.

Buying Gardening Supplies Online

 

Ordered some stuff online like seedling mats, gloves and plant markers. Other things didn't arrive like shears, rakes, spades, watering hose & can. 

These are the big box store seeds like lantern plants (physalis), berries, grass (wildflowers) and some varieties of sunflowers.

These are the other flower seeds I ordered that came nicely packed with labels and the Chinese names of the plants. I think I ordered one of everything there.

Free gift! These are all variety packs of vegetables to start an edible garden. I didn't order any fruits or vegetables at all, just flowers.

Seeds from Amazon.sg

Free Shipping on these seeds from Amazon.sg. I check every now and then for new varieties and yes I did see the monkey face orchids that I didn't buy. I bought novelty seeds before, multicolored roses and velvet roses that are not black just a deep dark red.

These seeds are packed like health food store products, ranging from 500 to 10,000 seeds in one packet for around $15 each. That's pretty pricey considering I would pay $10 for one packet of cashew nuts that is bigger than this. 

Lupines, dahlias, cosmos and sunflowers in a mix of colours and breeds for variety. Cannot wait to find a space to throw these at. Gonna check out taobao or something similar to find local tropical flowers as well as China flowers.

Floral wrapping paper from local website Shein that has lots of nice things including floral wraps, ribbons, stickers and tape. I chose a plastic version that can hold water for the stems, the wax paper ones don't hold up so well. 

Re-Contract Mobile Plan

Re-contracting my Singtel mobile plan and opted for the free tab instead of phone. Chose pink and the matching cover in pink, new tablet is free but the cover cost me $62! New 5G card but no activation code, maybe it will start by itself in the next few months.

I notice every time I re-contract my mobile plan the monthly charges increase. I am now at $50 per month, its a little expensive but my bill actually jumps to that amount at least once a year. Changing my whatsapp to business and not gonna take incoming calls anymore.

So I had a choice between 2 versions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. One version is the same as the Apple IPad mini and the other version is in between an IPad mini and an IPad. It's also double the weight. Other than that, all features are the same.
