Some of us like to preserve old newspaper articles. After reading, we feel that some articles may be too good for the recycle bin and so we set aside the article for ‘future reference’.
As time pass by, these ‘useful’ articles quickly work themselves up to a little nasty stack in the corner. Effectively, they become [...]

Declutter your bedroom and your life would change
February 20th, 2010, 1 Comment
If our bedroom’s a mess, our life would not be much different from it. Because we spend a surprisingly huge amount of time (almost 1/3 in fact) on our bed sleeping. So the condition of our bedroom- whether it is dusty, dirty, cluttered with rubbish and papers or neat and clean would really influence our [...]
Use creative notebooks to overcome blogger/writer’s block
January 9th, 2010, 2 Comments
I find that carrying a notebook (not a laptop but the physical books) comes very handy especially if I am outside doing research or if an idea hits me out of the blue. Whatever that is not written down quickly gets forgotten.
And instead of having it all in your head and burdening your poor brain, [...]

But are we more productive if we were to multitask or do one task/job at a time?

Is it better to be a night owl or an early riser?
November 19th, 2009, No Comments
From as young as I can remember, I am naturally a night owl. When I was schooling, morning sessions were especially painful because I constantly have problem waking up early in the morning.

June 3rd, 2009, No Comments
I have great admiration on Ikea as I believe they are really brilliant in the way they market their products and services.

Below is their storage catalogue dated 28 May to [...]

March 2nd, 2009, 6 Comments
Recently, I’ve managed to clear out my extremely messy garden. Often termed as ‘messy mini jungle’ but some friends, I decided to clean it up once and for all. If you are like me, having no prior experience in gardening and cannot differenciate plants from weeds, I want you to know that with determination and [...]

With Chinese New Year around the corner, everyday is housecleaning day. When previously I was never really into housework, now I spend most of my days doing either housework or gardening and enjoying it.
