when retailer gives you lemons
you certainly need to know that 'Lemon Laws' is put into effect from 1st september 2012 in singapore
'Lemon Laws' refer to consumer protection laws that provide remedies for consumers against defective goods, colloquially known as “lemons”, within 6 months of delivery. These are goods that fail to meet standards of quality and performance, even after repeated repair.
interestingly, perishables, consumables, second-hand goods, and discounted goods are also covered! except..real property and rental/leased goods!
this mean under the existing law, consumer is entitled to have retailer repair the goods or even reject the goods and obtain a refund when they are not of satisfactory quality at the time of delivery. basically, retailer may offer to repair or replace the rejected goods, or offer full refund if the item has never worked (beware: the refund amount may be reduced to take into account the use that the consumer has had of the goods; which i think it is fair to retailer).
depends on which sides you are at, but i believe the implementation of lemon laws will ensure goods sold match their description or are fit for purpose. i wonder if it applies to pirated DVDs :D
you may refer to CPFTA & Lemon Law for more information

white picnic
although characterized by a hot and humid climate, singapore was 'chosen' to be the very first country in asia to host diner en blanc (i'm saying this because it was bloody hot!!!). nearly 900 turned up last evening, and it was be fun and exciting! i must admit it was quite a hassle to set-up the whole thing (carrying chairs, table, dishes, utensils, food, drink, etc). not to mention carrying it to the location. but after we settled down and started chatting with random people, flagging napkins, lighting up sparklers, many cheers, and good music to dance with, it was actually worth all the hassles.

carry your lunch in style
fashion is crazy. $360 for the paper material (yes, coated paper!) and $780 for leather jil sander lunch bag. the thing about fashion is, when people buy the idea of its quirkiness, it just sells. and yes, the leather version is sold out in popular e-store mr porter. i need lunch bag. remind me to keep the paper bag when i do take away from mcdonald's or burger king. i just need to roll the top.

life as i know it
Honestly, I am quite tired of my current point. I have no end and growing worries. I feel lonely amidst the crowd. Sometimes disconnected. I really need some excitement. A change (not sex change though). 2011 was certainly not a good year to me, if not worst. But, after giving it some thought, we will never appreciate sugar if we have never tasted the lemon, right? I’ve gone through many rocky rides and believe me, there will always be ways out. I think universe has its way in dealing with issues.
So, turning 29, I wish for more wisdom, and huge chunk of lucks and fortunes. I guess, it is just as simple as that. Happy birthday to me.

the eye care expert
i was unhappily brushing my shirts (before tossing them to washing machine) when i hurled the liquid detergent bottle onto the floor. it SQUIRT-ed on me and took aim really well at my eyes. i called GOD because of the throbbing pain. you know how our eyes are so smart that they alert you on contact with foreign objects through pain and then blink or close your eyes. i had to forcefully open my eyes using my fingers and washed them with tap water, cold water, optrex, eye-drops, again and again. i was literally half blind. i immediately went to hibernate mode, hoping that i could sleep the pain and potential risk through. smart, no?! i woke up at 4+am testing if my eyes were alright and if i could still see. i could! afterwards I just went back to sleep.
my eyes are dirt free, sparkling, and cleansed now, all thanks to 'breeze color care'!
