It's not the Instagram Envy Effect, it's YOU!

I read an article here about the envy effect of Instagram. Honestly, I never even knew that this Instagram envy existed, but I'm not surprised to find out it does.

I agree with the article for the most part, but there are some things that I feel needs to be said. Hence, this post.

It's okay to be envious. Envy is a basic, natural emotion. And it's good that you experience envy because (1) it shows that you are still in touch with this far-from-ideal reality, and (2) it shows you what you need/want in your life. It means that you are not living in your own perfect world but grounded in reality that there are things that you need/want that still don't have until now.

Typically, you don't just get envious randomly. You get envious of some thing because that thing is one of your wants and/or needs. So in a way, your envy is your compass to what you want/need. This realization is always the first step to get yourself out of the gutters that is envy.

Something to think about...

Our Chance Encounter of the Port of Lost Wonder

Port of Lost Wonder (POLW) - Singapore's First Kids' Club by the Beach. It's one of the newest attractions in Sentosa, specifically intended for kids! :) It's a pirate-themed swimming resort that offers a lot of attractions and facilities for the whole family.

Last week, we had no intention of going here. We originally planned to take the cable car and get off at Beach station, then walk towards the Southernmost Point of Continental Asia to have our picnic there. Along the way past the carpark building, we got a glimpse of this huge pirate ship and right then and there we decided to go in and have our picnic there.

Obviously, that was a good call. :)

TIP: POLW is the first stop of the Palawan-Tanjong Beach tram from Beach Station. Can't miss it.

The BIG difference 50 cents make.

The iRemit branch in Lucky Plaza in Orchard Road is offering a special Easter promo. 

(Long queues at iRemit @Lucky Plaza)

First is the extra 50cents. All the other remitting companies are at 34.10.

Next one is the service charge. Service charges for any transaction type is now at SGD1.00 only.
Everyone in Singapore probably know rhis already. :) Just posting for the sake of posterity. :)

And a reminder for Easter next year. :)

BULALO! Oh Bulalo!

Every now and then, we want a taste of home and have one of our favorite delicacies. It's pretty rare that we look specifically for bulalo, but when we do, we always end up disappointed: Meat was not tender; wrong type of meat; wrong type of bone; not enough meat; you name it. I think we've been served every type of disappointment in the bulalo department for the last five years we've been in SG.

That changed tonight.

Wikipedia's blackout protest

Although Wikipedia is far from the most reliable source of information out there, it still has some useful information. Just noticed how much I was relying on this thing when they were out for a whole twenty four hours.
