I’m usually not too bothered about rice weevils, except when i see their population explode. This happened to a pack of noodles in my pantry. I will still consume the noodle, except i have to rinse the noodles like twenty times to get rid of the rice weevils (by the way the presence of rice … [Read more…]
Some time back i recommended getting a cube timer as a time keeping tool for students. Well, my kid managed to crashing onto the floor, knocking out the buzzer in the process, so it’s pretty much rendered useless. There was actually an alternative product which i also liked, which i purchased this time round. The … [Read more…]
I first came across the idea of wearable fan years ago when Kuchofuku invented the “air-conditioned” jacket (the article mentions the invention came about way back in 2004). Since then the idea was stuck in my mind. I need such a contraption as i tend to perspire a lot. Related posts: TnG card top up … [Read more…]

I tried getting a universal remote some years ago but it didn’t work. Thankfully, there’s a much better alternative now – a … [Read more…]
My phone has been in use for more than two years. You probably know that the phone battery life deteriorates over time. In my case, it has come to a point where I need to charge the phone in multiple ten-minutes bursts towards the end of the day, and that’s annoying. As you also know, … [Read more…]

Do you have a kid who keeps procrastinating? I do. That’s why i got this cube timer, and it worked in helping to get the kid to be more mindful of time. Actually a sand timer is much more artistic, but less durable, and you couldn’t reset the countdown midway. With this cube timer, you … [Read more…]
