Here Are 5 Travel Options For M’sians Working In S’pore To #PulangMengundi

#PulangMengundi is a trend that went viral all over social media beginning early last week.

It all started when Malaysians received news that the General Elections are set for May 9. Ever since the #PulangMengundi went viral on the Twitterverse, it was filled with interactions between Malaysians who wanted to return home to vote.

Plenty of Malaysians working in Singapore were concerned regarding taking time off to vote as it falls right smack in the middle of a work week as well as the expensive travel costs.

From #PulangMengundi to #CarpoolGE14, Malaysians unite to ensure voters turn up. 

Jom Undi!

1. PulangMengundi.com

There’s a #PulangMengundi website that aims to connect Malaysians with other Malaysians to help them travel home to vote by providing carpool services and travel subsidies.

If you’re looking for a carpool ride to and fro Singapore, all you have to do is key in your pick up and the location you’re heading to.

You will be able to check and connect with other drivers heading towards the same direction as you.

There are plenty of drivers and passengers looking for carpool matches. If you’re lucky, you might just find someone from Singapore heading up to Malaysia for the elections.

If you’re looking for a ride, do remember to help your drivers out or offer a small token for their kind gesture.

5. Jom Balik Undi Facebook Groups

This Facebook group are connecting drivers and passengers to find carpool matches. There are plenty of Malaysians working in Singapore offering their seats or even looking at sharing car rental costs.

There’s also a google sheet form which you can use to check if there are any drivers travelling from Singapore to Malaysia.

To ensure that your carpool experience is a safe one, do remember to exchange contact details prior to your journey home.

Our hearts are filled with joy knowing that there are plenty of initiatives taken to help Malaysians to vote!

With the elections less than a month away, we hope that you find a travel option so that you can turn up to vote!

Take First, Try Later – Stuff Your Bags To Your Heart’s Content At Carousell’s Clothes Buffet

All-you-can-eat buffets are great but you know what’s better?

A buffet that indulges your need for variety, and at the same time, gives you a new look while giving back to the community.

Carousell is organising a clothes buffet next weekend, so instead of stuffing your tummy, stuff a bag for charity!

Revamp Your Wardrobe

From 28 April onwards, Carousell will be rolling out trusted meet-up spots, all centrally located within Frasers Property malls, to make it even easier and safer to buy, sell and connect.

To celebrate the launch of the new trusted meet-up spots, Carousell will be hosting a “All-You-Can-Stuff” Carousell Clothes Buffet from 28 – 29 April.

Shopaholics, gear up for the weekend of your life.

Here’s what you have to do:

1. Have lightly-worn clothes hanging around that you don’t have a need for anymore? Donate them to the Carousell Clothes Buffet!

2. Take part in the ‘All-You-Can-Stuff’ fundraising drive by purchasing bags to stuff all that you can from the clothes buffet spread. You get to keep all the clothes, while all sales proceeds will go to charity.

3. You’ll have the option to buy ziplock bags of different sizes. Prices will range from $5 – $15 a piece. The more clothes you donate, the cheaper the bags.

Simple right? You get to revamp your entire wardrobe and give back to charity at the same time!

Time to declutter your wardrobe and donate that one-size-too-small number to someone who’ll find it a treasure.

“One man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” as the saying goes.

‘All-You-Can-Stuff’ Carousell Clothes Buffet
Address: The Centrepoint, Central Atrium 176 Orchard Road, S(238843)

Face Your Fears This Friday The 13th At Science Centre’s New Exhibition

Does the thought of drowning scare you?

What about being buried alive?

Face your fears at this brand new exhibition that explores the science behind fear.

Rationalise and conquer your fears at Phobia²: The Science of Fear from 13th April onwards.

Clowns, Coffins And Claustrophobia

Guests will embark on a journey about common fears and phobias as well as self-discovery. So if you’re planning on overcoming your fears, we suggest you bring a friend with you.

This exhibition is designed to stimulate guests with a low-level anxiety experience so you don’t have to worry about any clowns jumping on you or being trapped in a tiny box.

We went through it and survived to tell the tale. We promise you, it’s 100% safe.

Designed by Newman Entertainment International (NEI), the exhibition features all sorts of interactive galleries for guests to gain a better understanding about fear.

Here are the galleries we highly recommend!

Buried Alive

Have you ever had a dream where you’re being buried alive and you scream but no one ever hears you?

Taphophobia is the fear of being buried alive. So if you ever want to know how it feels like to be buried alive, all you have to do is slide under the coffin and see it for yourself.

We got to try it out ourselves, safe to say, we don’t ever want to face that situation ever again.

Sideshow Carnival

We all hate clowns. Nobody likes clowns.

Needless to say, this clown gallery scared the living daylights out of us.

You can expect to enter a space which is decorated like a side-show carnival. This room contains various sculptures, a life sized comical clown and interactive displays.

This was hands down the freakiest gallery in the entire exhibition.

We could barely last more than 5 minutes in this room.

Claustrophobia

Claustrophobia is the fear of enclosed spaces and boy oh boy, this particular one felt like there was no way out.

As you walk into this tunnel, it becomes smaller so you are required to stoop down and squeeze out into a small winding tunnel to exit.

The exit was so small that we had to get down on our hands and legs just to be able to get out.

Do remember that you can bypass this experience by taking a ‘Chicken Out’ door.

The Stage Is Yours

Have you ever given a speech in school or work that made your palms sweaty and your knees go weak?

Speaking in front of a crowd may come naturally for some but a nightmare for others.

The exhibit offers guests the opportunity to stand in front of a projection dome. You are to read out loud from a teleprompter to a projected audience who will then react in real-time to the comments made in the speech.

We couldn’t help but feel slightly insecure when the crowd started laughing mid-speech but don’t worry, they’ll give you a standing ovation at the end.

Give this one a try if you haven’t tried speaking in front of a crowd.

Sitting For An Exam

Studying for an exam is pretty nerve wrecking, especially when your final grades depend on it.

Enter a room with study desks that contain TV panels built within the desk tops.

Through the TV panels, students will share their experiences on exam fears and provide tips on how to overcome them.

If you know someone who fears sitting for an exam, bring them here to learn tips and tricks on how to overcome their fears.

Phobia²: The Science of Fear is the perfect opportunity for you to conquer your fears. With over 14 galleries for you to choose from, this exhibition is truly educational and highly interactive.

Who knows, you might eventually face your fears this Friday the 13th.

Grab your friends, gather some courage and head on down to Science Centre for this exciting exhibition!

Phobia²: The Science of Fear
Price: Admission to the exhibition is free. Standard admission charges to the Science Centre applies.

Lok No Further, Here Are The Best Lok Lok Spots In Singapore So You Don’t Have To Travel To JB

I’ll always remember the first time I ate Lok Lok out of a converted van in JB. Although it was a tad unhygienic, it was a truly fun and unique dining experience.

Lok Lok is a dish consisting of various deep-fried foods such as meats and vegetables that are served on a skewer and traditionally dipped into thick satay sauce.

Lok Lok is EXTREMELY underrated in Singapore. If you haven’t tried it, honestly why?

This old school Lok Lok dining experience is a passed-down 25-year Singapore family-kept recipe extracted from Satay Bee Hoon.

There’re three soup bases for you to choose from (chicken/mala/satay) but we highly recommend the satay base. Each base pot will cost you $8.

This Japanese-Inspired French Patisserie Serves Cakes That Are Too Pretty To Eat

If there’s one thing that I can eat for the rest of my life, it would be a good slice of cake.

Now I love cakes as much as, if not more than, the next person. I look forward to my birthday every year because I know I’ll get to indulge in a rich Belgium dark chocolate cake, finished with a silky chocolate glaze.

I thought no other cakes could ever win my heart. Until, I came across a beautiful, magnificent piece of cake.

After a bit more research, it led me to this really quaint and simple patisserie. Flor Patisserie, you’ve won my heart this time round.

Fantastic Cakes And Where To Eat Them

The chef at Flor Patisserie, Heidi, aims to create pastries based on the principle of honest baking with the finest ingredients.

Needless to say, their creations are truly a work of art.

Now that Cherry Blossom season is in full swing, Flor Patisserie is serving up sakura themed pastries and you for sure don’t want to miss any of it.

First up, we have the Sakura Tofu Chiffon which is made with salt-pickled Sakura blossoms.

The Sakura Pie is a puff pastry filled with almond cream, and topped with Sakura chantilly and strawberries. This pie is only available at their Takashimaya outlet.

They also sell mini versions of the Sakura Pie which will be available in all outlets. This pie is made out of Sakura cream, pickled Sakura flower, and a creme d’amandes pie base.

You can also gift your friends these cute Sakura Honey Cakes which is part of their Sakura Gift Range. These cakes are available in a box of 10.

Honestly, I’ll just buy an entire box and gift it to myself instead.

This final pastry definitely wins my heart.

The White Strawberry Tart is made with Awayuki strawberry of the Sage prefecture in Japan. The Awayuki strawberries were hand carried back from Tsukiji Market in Japan so you know you’re getting the best stuff.

The sweet strawberry is paired with a fragrant creme d’amandes tart, filled with custard and topped with chantilly.

A Noob’s Guide To Buying An Engagement Ring Your Partner Will Love

Proposing to the love of your life can feel like an overwhelming task. You’ve got the girl, you’ve asked her father for her hand in marriage, now it’s time to pick the perfect diamond engagement ring.

What is considered “perfect”? Why do diamonds have different cuts? Princess or cushion shape? Do I spend $500 or $3000 on a ring?

Here’s a guide on how to pick out the perfect engagement ring for the person you’ll spend the rest of your life with.

Sound Steady

Find Your Stone

Here’s a simple tip on finding the perfect stone. Just remember the 4 C’s: Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat.

1. Cut
Most people will confuse cut for the shape of the ring (emerald, cushion, princess etc). The cut refers to the diamond’s ability to reflect light. The cut of a diamond affects the diamond’s brilliance; this means if it is cut poorly, it will be less luminous.

2. Colour
The colour evaluation of most quality diamonds is based on the absence of colour. The colour scale begins with the letter D – colourless (most expensive) and continues, with increasing presence of colour, to the letter Z.

3. Clarity
Diamond clarity is graded using letter grades, which indicate how many visible flaws can be detected in a stone. The closer it is to being “pure”, the higher the value.

4. Carat
Diamond carat weight is the measurement of how much a diamond weighs. Diamond price increases with carat weight, because larger diamonds are more rare and more desirable.

It’s important to remember that the overall diamond’s value is determined by the 4Cs and not just the carat weight alone.

Find Your Shape

This is a useful guide on the different shapes to think of when picking out the engagement ring. You want to pick out a ring that fits her style and preferences.

If she has no preferences and you have no idea which shape to pick, then you can’t go wrong with the popular round shape or the traditional princess shape.

Or perhaps if you know she’s a huge Beyonce fan, Queen B received a gorgeous 18-carat emerald shape diamond engagement ring.

Needless to say, it was flawless.

The prong setting is perhaps the most classic and recognisable setting for most engagement rings.

Of the prong settings, the most common would be the solitaire setting which draws all attention to the stone with little to distract us like other stones or fancy metalwork.

How Much Should I Spend?

Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to spend three months’ salary on your engagement ring. There’s nothing romantic about going into a major debt after buying your ring.

Establish a budget before you step into a jewellery store. This helps your jeweller narrow down rings that are within your price range.

The 4Cs will determine the damage done to your bank account. You can either end up with a $800 or $3000 ring. So budget accordingly and never feel obliged to pay for premium.

After all, love cannot buy right?

Where Do I Shop For Rings?

You can browse for ready-made options at a local jewellery store or chain retailer (Tiffany & Co., Lee Hwa, Harry Winston etc.)

You can also design a custom ring with a private jeweller or find the perfect ring online from reliable sources like Blue Nile.

As we all know, nothing beats heading down to the store and physically handling the ring so you know where your money goes to.

Here are several wallet-friendly jewellery stores to find the perfect ring.

1. ORRO 

If you’re looking for a diamond ring that won’t cost you over $1000, then ORRO will be your best friend.

ORRO certified diamond simulants are often known as the “World’s Best Diamond Simulants”. A diamond simulant is a stone that looks similar to a real diamond and shares some of its characteristics.

Most importantly, keep everything within or under your budget. You don’t want to overspend on a ring!

The Royals Steakhouse started business in 2015, in a little shophouse unit along Jalan Pisang serving premium quality Halal steaks from Australia and New Zealand.

In fact, the steak here is so good that they separate the sauces from the meat so you can truly taste the original flavour of the steak.

The Tomahawk steak seems like something from The Flintstones, but this huge slab of steak is perfect for sharing with family.

Priced at $9.50 per 100g, the Tomahawk steak typically weighs between 1.3kg – 1.5kg. The price is such a steal however for a limited time only as it is an introductory offer for their Tomahawk.

There’s not much options for steaks you can choose from however we do recommend you getting the U.S. Prime Sirloin Steak 220g ($28). It is served with a herb and butter flavoured brown sauce.
