Book Review: The Good Girl

The Good Girl by Fiona Neill
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The book was written with alternating POVs which can be a bit confusing at first, interesting how bits of scientific facts (im guessing they were real facts) were throughout the whole book. In my opinion, the story feels unfinished, i wish the problems between the main couple were elaborated on and given a conclusion.

Book Review: Uglies & Pretties

Uglies & Pretties by Scott Westerfeld
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is like a bad dream. Interesting concept for a series, loved how the author turned some of the issues in today's society and made it worse, like a nightmare. Won't go into details so i don't spoil anything. Lets hope this story never becomes reality. Really an enthralling book. Can't wait to read the next 2 books in the series!

Using Rumble

Recently, someone from Rumble contacted me regarding my youtube videos.
After talking for a while, decided to give Rumble a try, uploaded one video under the "video management" contract  just to see how it works out.
Firstly, I don't like that we don't have any control over what we post. I can't edit the video title or description. The person I was communicating with mentioned that them sharing my video will gain it more views. However, the 'many views' mostly came from my video they posted on their youtube channel. So 33+ was from viewers on Rumble, the other 200 was from their Youtube channel.
That would be totally fine, if they had linked my original youtube channel too on their video.

Overall, this is just my experience on my first time using Rumble. I might have done something wrong, or not understood the contract properly. Would be nice if I could change the license for that particular video and maybe that will allow me to edit the description? Not sure. Will stick to using Youtube for the time being (and one video stuck at Rumble since I can't delete the video i posted or my account because the video is 'sold' under their contract). Im not saying Rumble is bad, just figure out which site is more suitable for you :D

Equarius Hotel @ Resort World Sentosa Singapore

I had a staycation with my family at the Equarius Hotel.




The room has a balcony.

The bathroom was really spacious! The screen above the sinks can be wound up with the press of a button. The other side of the bathroom has 2 separate stalls for the toilet and shower respectively.







There was no free wifi available in the hotel.
We didn't eat at the hotel, so i don't know whether the food is good or not.
Will definitely consider staying at this hotel again, the whole atmosphere really relaxes you.

Festive Hotel @ Resort World Sentosa Singapore

My friend asked me to stay with her at the Festive Hotel! this is our room.

I really loved the room. however, there was no free wifi available in the hotel which was really disappointing. Would not recommend staying here unless you do not mind forking out money for things they do not provide for free.

NYDC lunch

 Went to NYDC to have a birthday lunch with my friend.
ordered the '3 Amigos' which was $12.80 and included soup and a drink.














The mushroom soup was kind of small but tasted great!

my main dish was made up of 3 types of meat and rice at the bottom.


overall, 7/10. although the meal was a little pricey, i would go back again if there was another promotion:)

Hot Tomato lunch

Went to Hot Tomato at the Star Vista on 14 Sept, as there was a promotion. (forgot what the price was)
I got the steak with pasta, tomato soup and ice lemon tea. the tomato soup was watery and slightly sour but still had enough 'liao'(ingredients) inside. the steak, although i ordered medium well and was red, was still hard to cut and a bit tough. overall 7/10 but won't go back again.

In the recent news, http://www.tnp.sg/content/indonesia-stop-giving-excuses .

quote: [But we shouldn’t be surprised at the logic, really. In 2010, when the haze struck, its government spokesman said: “It has been only a week of smoke but people are already making so much noise. What about all the oxygen that (Indonesia) supplies to them during the rest of the year?”]

.......

its only a week of smoke so we should not complain? people are falling SICK from the haze, (like my mom and friend) of course we should push Indonesia to start taking action before someone dies right??

also, its the June holidays, do they expect all the children in Singapore to stay at home? they are children, they need to move around as they are energetic. people also need to work to earn a living.

lets just hope the Indonesian government REALISES the severity of the situation and starts ACTING accordingly.
