Freebie Alert: Singapore Medicine Postcards with prepaid international postage
Freebie Alert: Grand Prix Postcards with prepaid international postage and lucky draw
For a number of years now, the Singapore Tourism Board has been printing up postcards that people in Singapore can send overseas for free (as a bonus, sender and receiver would be eligible for a lucky draw with prizes like tickets, accommodation, etc).
Many people of course make the effort to send to relatives and friends overseas because of the lucky draw associated with the postcards, but I find that it's a great way to save on postage.

Hongbao as Collectibles
For collectors, hongbao packets provide great examples of traditional design motifs. Even more fascinating, the re-interpretation of old designs and introduction of modern graphic ideas reflect how Chinese cultural practices are adapting to modern lifestyles and tastes.

Did you know that non-stick cookware may be dangerous?
I was asked to write an article about choosing a wok recently (interesting experience, actually. I researched the subject, but once I did that, I realised that I actually do know quite a lot about it through using various types of work over the years), and in the process of writing it, I discovered that non-stick may be harmful to your health.

Another Kitchen Must-Have: The Thermal Cooker
One of the most useful "cookers" we have in our kitchen is a Thermal Cooker. All you have to do is put all the ingredients in the pot, take it to a boil, then leave it to cook some more for a few hours (no electricity required during this phase). And the food from the pot is nicely warm when you're ready to eat.
