Most of the time, people do not care about each other in the bus. All of them are busy. They just mind about themselves without knowing that they are unconsciously thinking about the person they said they don’t mind. However, sometimes many individuals easily share something or perhaps talk about anything that they have in common. It can also be their experiences in life.

Delectable Treats for Foreigners

Nov 10

Now, let’s talk about that four-letter word that all of us crave for every day of our lives. It’s something that any person in the world recognizes. It’s something that has kept the human race in existence. Have you guessed it already? If you answered love, well, sorry but that’s not the word I’m looking for. I’m talking about FOOD.

But food isn’t only meant to sustain us; it’s also something that gives identity to a country. For example, when you say America, you’d think of burgers; when you say Italy, you’d think of pizza or pasta; when you say China, its noodles; and when you say Singapore, what do you actually think of?

singapore-food

Well, most Singaporeans consider chicken rice as their national dish. As the name implies, it is made of steamed or boiled chicken placed on top of oily rice, served with sliced cucumbers. But other than this, there are actually several foods that you should definitely try when in Singapore.

Craving for seafood? Chili crab is something that will truly make your mouth water and will leave your plate empty. It’s so sumptuous that you’d probably forget your poise when eating this.

How about an Asian version of the kebab? Have you ever had satay before? It’s marinated meat skewered on a thin bamboo stick or a stem of coconut leaves. The grilled meat itself is already delicious, but you should also try dipping it in the peanut sauce so that you’d get a lovely mixture of sweet and spicy.

These are just a few of the many other Singaporean dishes that are definitely a must-try. Once you’ve tried the array of dishes that Singapore has to offer, don’t be surprised to find yourself wanting more.

Choosing the Right Day Care for Our Babies

Jun 27

Work and parenting are two separate things but it should come together to establish and sustain the family. It is hard but we should strive. Everything will be better once we are adjusted to being a parent. It is not advisable to give up our job because it can help with the family’s needs, we just need a compromise. Though it is important to spend more time with the family, the fact remains that times are difficult these days. If we don’t get to work, we can never give the best to our kids.

If we are new parents, the dilemma is how to carry on with our work and care for the baby at the same time. The best solution is putting our baby in day care centres. Here are a few things we should look for in a day care centre:

Accessibility

This means that we should look for a day care centre near our house or near our workplace so we can drop our baby on our way. If something happens, it will be easier to get to the centre. There are other companies that construct day care centre inside the building. If our company is offering such, it is the best choice.

Facilities

As much as possible we want to give our baby the best environment since we are not there. We want them to sit, lie and sleep comfortably. We should first do “site inspections” and look for outstanding factors like infrastructure, amenities and safety measures. If everything is favourable, we should enlist our baby.

Budget

Of course money is a big factor. If we don’t want to spend so much, we should look for reasonable centres. If money is not a problem, there are many day care centres out there.

If we don’t consider day care centres, we have no choice but to hire baby sitters or wet nurse.

Top Tips on Wedding Jewellery

Apr 26

From your engagement ring to wedding ring bought in Singapore, your wedding jewelleries speak so much of your style and personality. Before you go shopping for a necklace, bracelet, pair of earrings, and wedding bands in Singapore jewellery shops, here are some top tips to guide you.

Keep It Simple
There’s beauty in simplicity. Especially for a proposal ring, it’s better if you buy something that is simple yet elegant. After all, you can opt for a more stylish and sophisticated wedding ring as it has the greater importance. Furthermore, wedding bands in Singapore and other wedding jewelleries are worn to embellish and not to be the primary feature of your wedding attire. It is you and your dress that that should be in the limelight.

Tell Its Importance
An engagement ring is important, no doubt. It is a sign of a promise to marry the person you love. A proposal ring from Ling Jewellery will even have more meaning and importance if there is an unforgettable story behind it that you can tell to your family and friends. For example, your fiancé bought the ring when you were both on a vacation in another country. Or your wedding ring might be a family heirloom that has been passed on to some generations.

Follow a Budget
Money is equally important in all aspects of wedding planning—from the wedding venue, catering service, decorations, attire, to wedding bands. As what you should do in any other aspects, you should also set a budget for rings. Use this fixed amount as your benchmark when comparing engagement ring and wedding ring options. There are a lot of jewellery stores such as Ling Jewellery in Singapore that sell the finest jewelleries to the point that you might get swayed by their loveliness. Make sure that when you set a budget, you are not just simply thinking of an abstract amount but, most importantly, you should be strictly following it.

Never Overdo
Here’s the trick in wedding jewelleries: Never overdo it. No matter how obsessed or infatuated you are with the glitz and the glam brought by fancy jewelleries, make sure that you won’t look like a walking jewellery shop on your wedding day. Don’t wear a pair of dangling earrings with matching overly beaded necklace, silver bracelets on both wrists, and a Singapore wedding ring with oversized diamond stone if you don’t want your guests to have a disgusted look.

Always remember to dress moderately. That does not only apply to your choice of wedding dress, but also to your jewelleries as well. You may look gorgeously stunning even with just your ring and a pair of silver earrings. It’s all about confidence and how you carry yourself with chin up after all.
