Air purifier & ionizer

I've recently purchased an air purifier $14.80 (left) and an ionizer $34.80 (right) from Qoo10, previously known as Gmarket Singapore during their time sale + $3.90 Qexpress delivery.

I would say that this is the fastest experience in Qoo10 that I've ever received! The item came 2 days after I've ordered and it was delivered on a Saturday noon. 

The smaller one was bigger than I'd expected and I used that for my room while the bigger one with ionizer that's known to trap heat I've placed it in my grandma's room! 

The good thing about this purchase is it is affordable and definitely cheaper than those sold in the malls, but the downside would be that it's quite noisy as you can hear the motor sound churning when the switch is on. Oh and another redundant point is that the ionizer has a blue LED light that doesn't switch off until you off the main power, which makes sleeping at night harder due to the loud motor sound and the blue light.

Overall, I'd say it's a good buy though what you pay, is what you get :)

Hopefully the ionizer will work as shown in the video as the haze these days are getting higher:

Penny University

The boy brought us to Penny University for a late brunch yesterday and it was really accessible by taking bus 10 from Tampines! We alighted just after Caltex and it's within 10-15mins walking distance to Katong 112.

Here's what we ordered: eggs benedict with smoked salmon and smoked chicken breast sandwich to share. 

I wasn't a big fan of eggs benedict as I didn't like that the yolk oozes out onto the food, one which the boy loves much more than I do. However, I like that the bread that came together with this set was easy to cut into, as the previous one which we had at Eggs & Berries weren't.

The smoked chicken breast sandwich was tasty too as well however the toast was slightly over-toasted(?) and it was kinda un-glam and I had a hard time trying to cut it.

Both dishes would definitely be better if they served it with more cherry tomatoes as only 1 were given.

We also ordered iced chocolate due to some reviews and it was actually milk with chocolate fudge. Tastes alright though I will definitely order the coffee drinks on our next visit!

Passionfruit meringue tart

Dessert was passionfruit meringue tart and the boy said that it was much better than the lemon tart! The crust was really thick and crunchy and the underneath the cream was the passionfruit filling that is sour and sweet at the same time. 

We went walking around Katong 112 and Parkway Parade and watched Non Stop after that starring Niam Neeson and the plot is about the air marshall receiving a threat saying to remit U$150m else he has to race against time to save the lives of each passenger every 20 mins.

Thank you for planning this date out and never giving up on me. I love you honey! <3

I love reading books like these.  It makes me think back and realize that our lives are truly precious and we should treasure it before its too late..

I'm gonna borrow another book to read. One at a time. :)
