This is definitely something I never saw coming. Super sensitive Rendang condoms. Yup. You read that right. For those looking to spice up their sex life, these condoms will literally do it for you. ONE Condoms From Malaysia One Condoms has been known to release rather weird condom “flavours” in the past. This limited edition pack comes from the same company that has sold nasi lemak, teh tarik and durian condoms. Whoever thinks up these insane flavours needs a raise. Apparently these condoms smell like rendang but are pretty much tasteless. How disappointing. A pack of three condoms costs RM5.85…

I’ve tried several fitness classes recently and I gotta say, aerial yoga was definitely one of the more fun and interesting ones. I came across Upside Motion, after my spin class at Absolute You’s OUE Downtown Gallery studio. Since I love trying out new fitness classes, I thought why not try aerial yoga. Upside Motion is a studio that features fitness classes like aerial yoga and pilates. We visited their newest studio at OUE Downtown Gallery, which was less than a five-minute walk from Tanjong Pagar MRT. Upside Motion I really loved the modern and minimalistic decor which had a…

It can be pretty hard to find prom dresses in Singapore for that one prom day. Not surprising considering the fact that proms aren’t that common here even for schools.

I loved my two-piece prom outfit but if you wanna have a complete look and exude atas-ness, here are ten places you can buy a prom dress in Singapore including in-store and online recommendations. –Online shops– 1. Tobi  First on our list…

I don’t know about you, but the last time I went to Science Centre Singapore was when I was in primary school. For this assignment, I decided to head back to the Science Centre to reminisce on my childhood days, sharing what I see now as an adult. What’s the purpose of the Science centre you ask? Basically it exists to educate the masses and illustrate the principles and powers of science and technology in everyday life. Several revamps have happened since its beginnings in the 1970s. Back when I visited as a student, there was an illusion/painting of former…

In July 2019, Seiko released a limited edition One Piece watch to celebrate the anime’s 20th anniversary. This 9 August 2019, it looks like Puma Japan is dropping its own One Piece-themed retail item. Named the Cell Endura One Piece, the shoe’s design draws inspiration from “Thousand Sunny”, the ship of the straw hat pirates. Instead of typical laces, these sneakers have brown rope-like laces, reminiscent of the ship’s rigging. My favourite part of the shoe is the gold anchor hanging from the back, which really helps make this collab stand out. The insoles have some detailing too – the…
