I was just wondering what kind of tea you guys drink? I always have tea with milk + sugar, very English, hehe But in many countries, they have black tea, which I can't understand... In Germany, which I visited recently, they...

velvetprinzess Yes, I have heard of the very famous Indian masala tea. It is served with milk and sugar. It tastes great too especially when there are lots of spices in it. I love the fragrance of the combination of spices. These pounded spices tend to settle at the bottom...

velvetprinzess Yeah, sometimes. They're mostly about meeting here or there at this time or that. It's all very mundane.

In my country, somehow people feel that it is less enviornmentally friendly to use a dish washer. They also feel that dish washers don't really do a good job of washing the dishes, hence many homes here do not have dish washers....

velvetprinzess Yeah, I think Singapore food can be really oily and sticky. I guess that's why we tend to feel that the dishwasher can't do as good a job as handwashing it ourselves. Thanks for your reply.

I really like Oakley's sunglasses a great deal. They are cool, hip and so functional. I like the Dart model. How about you? Which is your favourite Oakley's? Why? Please share your stories. Thanks.

I first started off with wearing soft lenses. Later, I switched to RGP lenses. These give really good visual quality and are even easier to maintain than soft lenses. Usually, I can wear them for more than 10 hours a day too....

velvetprinzess Hi, I think it would be best to see a optometrist. They would be able to advise you on which would be best for your needs.

velvetprinzess Hmmm, looks like the only option is for you guys to sleep separately then. One on the bed and the other on the sofa perhaps.

Have you tried soy ice cream before? I have and I think it's ok. I still prefer regular ice cream with all the full cream dairy milk. Soy ice cream somehow isn't as rich nor as creamy as its dairy milk counterpart. What do...

velvetprinzess Yup. I think it's supposed to be a healthy alternative and is less fattening.

Lately, I've noticed that a lot of elderly people are still 'forced' to work because they have insufficient retirement savings. They do menial jobs, some of which are quite tiring and strenous on their frail physical...

velvetprinzess Your reply is excellent. Indeed is we were to support the elderly via pensions, this would mean taxing the younger folks who are working. So it's a case of the younger generation supporting the older ones. Most countries are now facing a tough situation is...

velvetprinzess You can buy it at Fancl counters. It's usually sold as part of their Summer whitening collection which comprises other whitening products as well. You can get the entire set for about S$80. Price will vary from year to year.

velvetprinzess It's a type of very bitter black coloured liquid. I'm exactly sure what types of herbs are in it. The store near my place prepares a broth made from these herbs and sells it as a drink to the people who live nearby.

velvetprinzess I'm not too sure if these brands are available in the States. U2 and G2000 are from Hong Kong and a number of Asian countries sell these brands. As for Mango and Zara, they are available in many European countries as well as Asian ones.
