Book Review: Black Seconds

Black Seconds (Inspector Konrad Sejer, #6)Black Seconds by Karin Fossum
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Although the story is about a death, this book was quite light-hearted. In the beginning, the story was unpredictable as there were quite a few possibilities with regards to the culprit. But as the story progresses, it was easy to figure out where the author was going with it. (Not much suspense) Did not captivate me as much as other crime novels I have read in the past.

Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask Review

This Bio-essence Aqua Droplet Sleeping Beauty Mask sample was sent to me by the Sample Store.

Unfortunately, when I opened the packet to use the product, I realised that the amount they gave was really little. I had about a 20 cent coin worth of product. Really disappointed.

The instructions mentioned that water droplets will form, but I could not tell if there were any when I was using the product.

The mask went on easily and was gel-like.
One thing I like about this is that it left no oily or sticky residue!

There was no big difference when I woke up the next day. My skin felt oily as usual. (after sleeping)

McCafe's Brownie Review

Most people will think that food from McDonald's or McCafe is just average. Well, I tried their brownie, it is absolutely DELICIOUS!

As a chocolate lover, it is hard for me to find good chocolate related items that I love. (chocolate cakes, for birthdays, are the hardest!)

Definitely recommend this brownie to anyone who loves chocolate! It is super rich, gooey and the best part? It only cost around $4 SGD! SO WORTH IT!


When you order it at McCafe, the guy at the counter will heat it up for you first. So happened that I also ordered an Oreo Mcflurry, ended up putting the icecream on the brownie and eating it together! (everyone knows brownies and icecream goes perfectly together right?)

Of course, every branch may not have the exact same standard of food items. The branch I went to was at Metropolis. (Singapore, 138588)

Marina Bay Sands- Premier Room Tour

Hey guys! My friend's grandparent's friends had a free hotel stay and decided to let me and my friend have it! It was for Marina Bay Sand's Premier Room.

Here is the room tour! It is a little shaky and overexposed (at some points) as I was rushing to finish it asap. (there were other people in the room waiting for me)



The room was really lovely! My favourite part of the room, besides the view, is the HUGE bathtub! I don't have a tub at home, so it was nice to relax in the bath on the first night.

The only problem I have with the room, is that the shower knob was hard to turn when I was showering. (Hands were wet, no friction)

















Check out other photos and videos I took, below:

Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash Review


Sample Store was kind enough to send me this product to review even though I hadn't been on that site for a few months. It was a really nice surprise to receive in the mail!

The packaging was really lovely and the actual product was wrapped in bubble wrap.







 Once I saw that this product was made in China, I was hesitant to try it out.



When I squeezed a bit onto my hand, the first thing I noticed was the strong perfume like smell. It was too overpowering for my liking. The scent lingers for quite a while after I washed the soap off.

However, it definitely left my skin a little smoother.







Since I haven't used this product on a regular basis, I can't say if it really helps in the long run. I would consider trying this if the smell was not as strong and it was not made in China. I currently use DOVE conditioner for my hair which is made in Thailand. Although it is not the best conditioner out there, it is definitely affordable.

Park Hotel Alexandra, Deluxe Room Tour

For Mother's Day, my mom booked the Deluxe room in Park Hotel Alexandra for her and my grandma to stay in.

Although I didn't get to sleep in the room, I got to enjoy several hotel facilities! The pool was not super big, but it was an infinity pool, next to the pool bar. During the day, it was quite empty so we pretty much had the pool to ourselves. The pool also had a jacuzzi area on the other side. (surrounding the gym) However, the jacuzzi did not have any water jets. (if it did, we didn't see any switch to turn it on)

The gym was quite spacious and had a variety of equipments. The only downside is that the audio was not working for some of the treadmill's tv. For mine, I had to leave my earphones half plugged in, if not, the volume would keep jumping back to 20. Which was really loud. The gym also had towels and bottles of water for us to use!

For the deluxe room, there was not much leg space but we did have about 10 people over after dinner. The bathroom had no bathtub and the drainage system of the shower was not good. When I was showering, the shower area started to overflow into the main bathroom floor. The view from the room window however, was gorgeous! I would have loved to do a timelapse video of that! (if I were staying overnight)

Check out the video I did below for the room/gym/pool tour!
