With new advanced technologies today, printers and projectors are designed with greater multi-function that elevate productivity, efficiency with dynamic performance, bringing vision to life!

I love taking random lifestyle pictures to preserve special moments and working from home, a printer is an essential working tool that I use for my personal photo collections and work documents.

I was invited to EPSON media launch recently for their new series of office printers and home projectors. The new EPSON EcoTank and Home Projectors are specially designed with higher resolutions for best quality image/graphic, versatile functionality, ecological and cost-saving that are suitable for home and office use.

🎬 K-Drama Review - Squid Game (2021)

 

Annyeong haseyo!... 

I hope everyone is well and safe.

 

I know the past weeks were rough and it's been really demoralizing on the current outbreak situation, but let's try to stay strong and be optimistic that things will get better! Meanwhile, take a break and get off the news if you need to...

Well, staying at home can be productive too..if you have a well-organised daily routine to keep yourself occupied with indoor activities and entertainment. Someday, you need to slow down, relax and just chill! 😎

Squid Game - Watch it on Netflix!

Personally, I don't watch much Korean Drama series. As a busy Work-at-Home Mom, I can't sit for hours watching Netflix, but somehow the giant robot doll in Squid Game caught my attention..it brings back some childhood memories and I remember playing similar games when I was little...

           

“무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다”(mugunghwa kkochi  piotsseumnida) 

For the longest time, I can't believe I actually watched all the episodes of Squid Game. I enjoyed the show, but some uncensored violent scenes were quite brutal and too graphic for younger viewers in my opinion, so Parental Guidance (PG) Is Advised⚠️

    

Despite the overwhelming scenes, the Squid Game reflects reality and there are some highlights that we can learn. I believe many have watched all the 9 episodes by now, but pardon me for those who haven't, I'll keep it brief! (Don't shoot me!😄)

Lessons Learnt From Squid Game (*Spoiler Alert⚠️)

                      

⭕ Humanity
In the world filled with greed and temptations, it's insane what people will do for money. Perhaps, money is the root of evil?...You decide! I would suggest to stay away from any form of gambling, always have a strong financial reserve. Spend your money wisely and be debt-free!👍

🔺️Betrayal 
The hard truth is, we can't always trust people! In life, there will be fake friends and dirty players who cheat to win. Unfortunately, some people does take advantage of kindness and generosity. Poor Ali (Player 199) was too pure for the game and trusted too easily. Damn, it hurts to be betrayed! So the moral of the story is - Trust No One! (Even salt look like sugar, remember that!)

🟥 Teamwork 
The Tug of War Game remind us that no matter how big and strong your opponents are, the 'weaker' team can still win the challenge with the right technique, strategy and teamwork! 

⭕ Friendship
I value and treasure genuine friendships! I Iove the part when Gi-Hun (Player 456) offered to team up with the elderly man II-nam (Player 001) for the marble game, it was a sweet gesture and there was a scene where he used his sweater to cover up for II-nam. Awww..friends for life! (Fist bump!🤜🤛)
 

🔺️Sacrifice
When Ji Yeong (Player 240) deliberately lost the marble game and her final words to Sae-byeok (Player 067). Gosh..I literally teared up, the scene really broke me! I had to pause as I couldn't digest that heartbreaking moment.💔 (Someone please pass me some Kleenex! 😢)

                 

Sae-byeok is my favorite character in the show, she is cool, brave and one tough cookie! I love her strong and righteous personality. In most movies, I have a soft spot for the Heroes but never the villains! (Duh!) I guess I appreciate kind people more, in movies and in reality as well.

My favorite scene got to be the Honeycomb Game, the candy cutting looks really fun, so I tried making some that day...(Phew, I'm safe!) 

All you need is 2 ingredients, Sugar and Baking Soda, but lots of patience to make a nicely-done Honeycomb Candy! I swear it's not as easy as it looks, but definitely a fun bonding with the little ones! Look at that, how cute! No wonder it's a global trend now.

            

 

In conclusion, the show is thrilling and intriguing! A great story structure and authenticity. I would rate 4.5/5 stars! Yeah, it's been a while since I watched such a sensational drama series that inspired me to share a heartfelt review on my blog. Nice work, Mr Director! (Hwang Dong-hyuk), you got a fan here, I can't wait for Season 2!😊

Keep Calm and Watch Netflix! Enjoy a great movie date with your loved ones! Ohh! don't forget the Chips and Popcorn too! 😋🍿🖥

Finally! I got some free time to do a short blog and a quick update today...

Well, the school holiday is always the busiest time for me as a work-at-home mum. The kids keep me occupied all day, I rarely have much time to do my own stuff and it's madness some days, but I still love my 2 sweethearts very much! Oh yes, I had a wonderful birthday celebration with family and friends last week.

So, for the past few weeks...I have been busy writing a song for my kids for SG:SW2019 我写我的歌,  it's a Song Writing Contest in Singapore. I think music is another great way to express yourself besides blogging. However, songwriting is much time consuming, especially while recording a demo, singing and playing with an instrument...but the whole process is fun and very rewarding! Thankfully, I managed to submit my song demo & full lyrics before the closing date! 😅


I am not Jay Chou (周杰伦) or David Tao (陶喆). I admire their great musical talents and I love many of their songs too...Personally, I think it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you have a passion for music and love to write songs, just go ahead and make your own music!

A good song to me is something that touches the heart and soul, it makes you feel connected to the lyrics and inspired you...and that song would stay in your head for a very long time! 


For me, joining a contest is not always about winning. Of course, it would be a bonus and a great achievement if you do win, but the true beauty of writing a song is expressing what you feel for the people you love and when my son told me he loves the song that I wrote for him and his little sister...Wow! That is pure happiness, a sense of accomplishment and that's all it matters to me! 😍


Music is a big part of my life! Yeah, I could talk about music all day... Basically, I need music every day! I even put on my wireless headphones while doing the housework and cooking etc, I guess it makes the daily house chores less boring..haha! 



I love soft rock, hip-hop, R&B, New Age and Pop music. I listen to many different songs that connect my emotions and situations that I could relate to. It could be anything from classic to the latest hits.


Nuff said! Here are my current favorite playlists :
