Hilarious mopping slipper @ Isetan AIMEDIA Fair

This thing really looks like some feet from Sesame Street and it its absolutely adorable.

Now Isetan is selling this for $15 a pair & definitely gives your Charles & Keith a run for comfort.

Designer definitely have lazy people like us in mind. Sadly this only cleans d place you walk and you will need extra effort to sweep the corners of your house where dust really settle. This definitely is a conversation piece what look hilarious & not to mention energy saving from to less vacuuming.

However, this slipper is only available during special fairs, which I reckon supplier is not a permanent vendor in Isetan.

Electrolux Green Vacuum: ZUSG3900 Ultra Silencer Green

Generally, people don't really spend much time looking for a vacuum. As long as the price is ok, has good suction & of reputable brand, people will take it. But the truth is, electrical consumption, noise level and aesthetics concerns come after. Later, parts replacements become a problem and most of the time, we discard a fairly workable vacuum due to a torn hose or a broken head.

Like the Slogan, we are looking at it long-er term, we started explore more durable goods. Brands like Electrolux, Miele & Bosch are the clear choice and are made to last for many years. However price for these vacuum comes with a very high price tag [easily $400+]

Last Saturday, before visiting the BMW WORLD [crappy by the way], we visited the Harvey Norman for the 9th Anniversary Sale. It was quite a huge event host by celebrities, but we didn't really bothered with the show and head straight to grab our bargains. 

And we found this fantastic deal for this Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green vacuum. This vacuum truly exceed our demand as it consumes less electricity, lower noise, powerful suction, durable yet easy replaceable parts, sleek exterior and in my favorite green color trims.


Unlike those Cheap vacuum that cost less than $120, they are built with cheap materials that wears quickly, this models is made to easily perform 2-3x of their lifespan.
RRP $399 & promo price $299. which is an irresistible offer.

Four times quieter. To make the Ultra Silencer easy on your ears, we've added a quieter 1250 watt max motor and optimised the whole machine for a quiet airflow.

We are thinking of people who dream of a quieter world. The quiet vacuum, for those around you who appreciate the sound of silence.

Energy efficient. The Ultra Silencer has the dust pick up of a standard 2000 watt vacuum but at just 1250 watts, it uses 33% less energy.

Made from recycled material. 55% of the cleaner body is made from recycled material. 56% of the packaging is also made from recycled material and 90% of the cleaner body can be recycled.

I was so excited when I unpack this box. Judging from the packing, its also very much eco. There are minimal printing on the carton, only a white sleeve, cos ink maybe toxic and more difficult process during recyling.  There are no styrofoam inside as well, cos styrofoam produce harmful CFCs when broken. Eletrolux is really going all out to make this as green as possible.  

After we assemble the set, we tried the vacuum on the floor & carpet, we were impress with the fierce suction power. Also, there is almost no sound from the body except the mild howling sound from the suction head when its in contact on the floor. We are super impressed.

Safico avant garde cutlery

We notice Safico in many nice restaurants. The knives are extemely distinctive, very clean and sleek. These curves and details seem very designer [architectural designer] 

We had our mind set for WMF box set in departmental stall for $98, but handle after dinner at LOTS gourmet stop, we then decided to explore Safico. Preparing to fork out a premium, we googled suppliers in SG & we found a couple of company selling them but SIA HUAT seems to have the widest range.

The range we selected is ATLAS and they are easily cheaper than WMF [which is a blessing] 

Also, the if we get the WMF box set, 
we only have:
6 spoons, 6 forks, 6 knives,
6 tea spoon, 6 tea forks, 
1serving spoon & 1 serving fork.
which there are not enough serving spoons, spoons or forks and a bunch of redundant tea forks.

While @ Sia Huat, we got:
10 spoons,10 forks, 6 knives,
6 teaspoons, 2 serving spoons. 

Look & feel of Safico is alot more atas than the WMF $98 range. 
Come dine with us & you will know why

Day 2 - Shopping @IKEA, having a friend over, unpacking and dinner

We are suppose to have a hearty breakfast @ LOTS gourmet shop with our friend Alex, but it was not open for Deepavali. So we ended up @ IKEA Tampines for late breaky and started shopping. 

We got a carpet, a laundry drawer storage, store room shelving brackets, paper napkins, bulbs, and some loose barangs. As we are checking out we saw a huge range of Xmas decor items, but its a bit too early & we have not sort out our mess @ home. 

Also @ the AS-IS corner, Mrs found a really good deal for shelve which we can use for a shoe cabinet. I reckon this is probably one of the kitchen shelves which is extremely robust for IKEA standard. RRP $68 to discounted price $48. So we intend to get this to put outside our unit for slippers & guest shoes. To improvise is slight, we are adding legs so that we can raise to facilitate cleaning. 

Our kind Alex help us carry the cabinet and rest of our barangs to our place. So we have to thank him buy serving him with what we can find in our fridge. He is also our very first VIP guest that had view our home [not ready].

For dinner, we had slight improvement from yesterday with the following.

The Menu

- pan fried fish fillet with freshly grounded green peppercorns

- boiled jie-lan with starchy garlic+oyster sauce

- yong tau foo soup

- rice 

Also, from today we have placemats for our plates to prevent scratches on my Solid Ash table top.
