11.11 Sale

This 11.11 sale I purchased all stationery and learning tools. Hopefully, enough to last me well into the future.

Educational straw constructor toy in rainbow colours. This is the oversized version, usually its much smaller.

Mini pocket printer with sticker paper rolls, only available in black & white. Also stickers for decorating books, laptops and so on.

Gel pens, glitter highlighters, colouring pencils in solid colours/multicolour/metallic (they sent neon instead of metallic), marker pens in pastels (coz I have the regular ones already).

Paper Clips in pastel colours.

USB handwarmer! I have a lamp/nightlight that looks like this. It says once fully charged it provides warmth for the entire day.

New Bed (Part 2)

After numerous problems with my new brass bed, including the center portion caving in due to lack of support. I have purchased a new bedframe & mattress from Robinsons.

Black metal bedframe in queen size as I already have a white metal bedframe in single size. There's not much to choose from if you don't want the natural wood look.

Thickest pocketed spring mattress available, planning to get a mattress topper later. Didn't get the hybrid mattresses this time around coz its quite expensive.

Some more things I have been using and want to recommend. Medicated Oil Plasters that pack more intense heat than regular medicated oil. Ginseng to counter health symptoms, obviously this one is not compatible, so I have some left.

Saw 2 more metal bedframes @ FortyTwo.sg worth considering. Kitty Cat Ears in green and Seashells in gold.

Birthday this year...

Classic fresh cream strawberry cake from Chateraise, I like it even better when its still cold.

 

I requested to have caviar and my sis-in-law bought some for us to try. One is more intense in flavor than the other.

Birthday presents. 

Fresh Durian

It's durian season and I bought it in these freshly packed boxes as durian husks are difficult to dispose of. Has to be fresh coz if it's frozen I'll rather get the cakes & puffs instead.

The very popular & expensive Mao Shan Wang (cat king) that I had to try along with a few other varieties available at this durian seller like Red Prawn, Bola, King Kong, Old Tree KP. All the premium durians have strong durian flavor and more fruit less seeds. It's also mostly bitter! Except Red Prawn its sweet and not bitter.

The popular durian variety last time was D24, now there is D101 & D13, not sure what's the difference. There's also Xiao Tai Hong, Susu. Milder in durian flavor there's sweet (D13), sour (D101), bitter (XTH), firm (Susu).

New Bed Delivered

 

My mdf wood bed got replaced with a metal frame bed. It's really difficult to find an all metal frame bed and in a larger queen size, so its about what you can get from the furniture store ready-made.

The really comfortable alternative is this rocking chair I have been using. I can sit on it all day and with the footrest I can sleep in it. Fits plus sizes.

My medical heat pad actually needs replacing too, it burned a hole right though the cover and also my bedsheets.

Plug doesn't work on my oxygen machine, someone setup an air purifier in my room that is supposed to clean up the haze, apparently it helps with my breathing.

MBS Food Delivery

Food delivery from Yardbird @ MBS. There's a special takeaway box packaging for its signature fried chicken with waffles and watermelon.

Also ordered the lobster mac & cheese and lobster rolls. The bread roll used is really tasty. Mac & cheese is really rich & decadent, have to share this main course with someone.

Sweet bourbon maple syrup for the cheddar pancakes and bitter K-style hot sauce for the fried chicken. Loving the marinated watermelon cubes.

Cash delivery from Takashimaya Anniversary x LV collaboration, introducing the LV Twist to my bag collection in epi leather, I don't have anything epi leather at all.

Takashimaya Online Digital Sale

 

I wasn't planning on buying anything except maybe Japanese snacks and ended up entering the digital sale lucky draw, free home delivery.

I bought some silver jewelry, a pair of lapis lazuli earrings and an Etsy-style pendant made from burlwood and resin. This burlwood and resin combination is usually made into tables for around the same price as this silver necklace. 

Gonna pair it with a handmade silver pendant (I have 2!). The last time around I paired the silver pendant with a pearl pendant necklace from Citigems.

My original intention was to purchase one of these Novita rocking chairs that has massage & heat functions, but there are only the massage function ones left and its even on sale! Gonna wait to get what I want.
