Today I dressed black for work, and the whole day reflects this. I woke up feeling tired and it's raining and generally things have not been going well the whole day. I think next week I should start off with a bright Monday. How...

I have not started anything new today, so here's one

Do you do more shopping from online stores or physical stores?

bluemoonpavilion @bluemoonpavilion (4658) • Singapore 13 Dec 16

For online shopping, I feel like I'm taking a chance cos the info or picture shown might be misleading, and there's the risk of spoilt goods, but the upside is, there's lots of choices and some things are really cheaper. So for...

Would you do this in public?

bluemoonpavilion @bluemoonpavilion (4658) • Singapore 21 Mar 12

I know there is no rule against doing this but we should observe some social etiquette right? Just the other day I boarded a crowded bus, and very luckily got a seat. Beside me, the guy moved a bit and gave me a little more...
