Over the last few days, the weather has been scorching hot and even the nights were not spared. I was sweating like a pig most of the time and the heat was quite unbearable. To cool off the heat, I had a bottle of Somersby Apple Cider and it was simply refreshing!
 |
| From Somersby 2013 |
Somersby Apple Cider is made from fermented apple juice and there are no artificial sweeteners, flavours, or colourings used. To give it a crisp and fruity apple taste, only sugar, natural flavouring, and apple juice are added to Somersby Apple Cider.

Most people I know have a misconception of cider and they would usually equate it with beer and wine. However, though all three beverages [cider, beer, and wine] undergo the same process of fermentation, they are in fact quite different by itself. Ciders are actually derived by the fermentation of the juices from apples and most ciders are carbonated. Sugar and apple juice may also be added both prior and post fermentation.
In recent years, cider has experienced a dramatic renaissance and it is a very popular alternative to beer and wine, and also a natural alternative to flavoured Ready-to-Drink products. While the origin of cider isn’t clear, it was said that when the Romans arrived in England in 55 BC, they found villagers in Kent drinking a delicious cider-like beverage made from apples. For centuries, traditional village life in the apple-growing regions of Britain would revolve around farmers making their own alcoholic beverage, which was a cloudy drink they affectionately called ‘scrumpy’. In fact, the drink was a popular sweet alternative to ale and it even replaced water as a refreshing drink because it was considered healthier than the drinking water at the time. The traditional ways of cider making are still with us today and cider is still appreciated by people from all walks of life who enjoy its naturally fruity and refreshing taste.
Somersby Apple Cider is currently available at all major supermarkets and currently, NTUC Fairprice is having a promotion whereby 4X 330-ML bottles of Somersby Apple Cider will cost $14.95 instead of the usual price of $16.80
 |
| From Somersby 2013 |
If you have never tried Somersby Apple Cider before, you have to try it because it’s uniquely juicy apple taste makes it a tasty and natural choice for some relaxing moments with your friends.
To drink the Somersby Apple Cider, you can chill the Somersby Apple Cider in the refrigerator and drink it straight from the bottle OR pour the Somersby Apple Cider over an ice-filled glass and drink it from the glass.

When I was a young boy, shopping for groceries at the wet market with my mum was a rather dreaded affair and I dislike the weird fishy and meaty smell at the wet market. Now, with supermarkets and hypermarkets springing up like nobody’s business, the wet market is slowly becoming extinct and groceries shopping at the supermarkets/hypermarkets has become somewhat a robotic and systematic process that there’s hardly any form of enjoyment.
I have to say this, though I dislike the wet market, I do miss those times that I spent with my mum at the wet market just looking, touching, and smelling, the vegetables, fish, meat, and fruits. The produce at the wet market are definitely the freshest and honestly, you don’t really know how fresh the produce at the supermarkets/hypermarkets are because for all you know, they might have been on the shelves for days and moreover, those with cheap price tags are usually the ones that are near the expiration date.
Well, if you share similar sentiments, here’s some good news.
Just last week, Jacqueline took some time off with her family to visit PasarBella, the first multi-sensory grocery shopping destination in Singapore and it sure looks exciting after seeing the more than 300+ photos that she took.
With over 30,000 square feet of market space housing more than 30 unique stalls from around the world, PasarBella is the embodiment of its namesake, which is derived from the local term for ‘market’, and the Italian term ‘beautiful’.
 |
| From Parsabella 2013 |
PasarBella was conceived by the founders’ dreams to provide a one-stop food and lifestyle experience, all under the same roof and it was inspired by the sights, scents, and vibes of other global markets that the founders sought to offer a similar experience here in Singapore.
Housed within a warm community-based environment, PasarBella encompasses a seafood market, meat, dairy, fresh produce, wines and craft beers, global cuisines and personal services.
 |
| From Parsabella 2013 |
Because there are more than 30 over unique stalls at PasarBella, we are only going to introduce 10 stores that you absolutely must visit when you’re there.
1). Oceans of Seafood

When Baby and I started dating more than 2 years ago, our favourite hangout spot was the Ben & Jerry’s Heeren Scoop Shop. Indulging in Ben & Jerry’s Ice-Cream then was a weekly affair. When Heeren underwent a major renovation, our love for Ben & Jerry’s Ice-Cream never once dwindled. In fact, all thanks to the generous promotions that NTUC Fairprice occasionally has, we often buy two pints of Ben & Jerry’s Ice-Cream to indulge at home while watching our favourite dramas or movies.
 |
| From Ben n Jerry’s 2013 |
Our two favourite Ben & Jerry’s Ice-Cream flavours are Chunky Monkey and Triple Caramel Chunk. Of course, there are also other flavours such as the Maple Tree Hugger and the Peanut Butter Cup that we fancy a lot.

Trust me, McDonald’s Breakfast is absolutely the best thing that I always look forward to on a Saturday morning! Usually, both Baby and I will order McDonald’s juicy and tender Sausage McMuffin with Egg Burger or their sweet-smelling Hotcakes drizzled with some yummy Maple Syrup. Coupled with the appetising golden brown Hashbrown and a cup of energising Iced-Milo, a McDonald’s Breakfast is definitely the perfect way to kick-start the morning!
Well, so much for making you salivate and making you go hungry but if you haven’t heard, 121 McDonald’s Restaurants in Singapore will be participating in the McDonald’s National Breakfast Day by giving away over 100,000 Egg McMuffins as part of Singapore’s [and also the World's largest] ever breakfast giveaway on the 18th of March 2013.

Now, having said so much, here’s what we proposed in order for you to grab that free Egg McMuffin from McDonald’s [no guarantees though 
].
1. Sleep Early on Sunday Night
Having enough rest is essential for whatever you are going to do the next day. As a rough approximation, an individual should have at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. While you’re sleeping, your body is essentially repairing and healing itself so that you wake up the next day feeling refreshed and recharged.
[Credits to Science Daily for the Image]
2. Wake Up Early on Monday Morning
Make sure you set your alarm clock the night before you sleep so that you can wake up on time, brush your teeth, have an invigorating shower, and head off to the nearest McDonald’s Restaurant near you. Be sure that you buffer some time for travelling as well.
[Credits to Frederic Patenaude for the Image]
3. Be there at McDonald’s as Early as You Can.
Since there’s only 1,000 free Egg McMuffins to be given away on a first-come-first-serve basis, we’re expecting a long queue in the morning so try to be there at McDonald’s as early as you can so that you do not miss out on the free Egg McMuffin Giveaway. Don’t forget to also buffer some time for yourself to travel to school or work as well.
[Credits to Wikimedia for the Image]
4. Complete Your Free Egg McMuffin with a Cup of Ice-Milo and a Piece of Hashbrown
Once you have redeemed your free Egg McMuffin, you might want to purchase a cup of Iced-Milo or Hot Coffee and a piece of savory golden brown Hashbrown to complete your breakfast meal.

5. Be On Your Way to School or Work Happy, and Free From the Monday Blues!
Having gotten your McDonald’s Breakfast, it is time to head down to school or work. Now, don’t be late and enjoy your Monday free from the Monday Blues! Smile~!

Last Thursday, we were at the CLUB313 Extravaganza Event at 313@Somerset and we had the privilege to experience for ourselves what it feels like to be a member of CLUB313. In case you’re wondering what CLUB313 is, CLUB313 is essentially the first experience-focused loyalty programme which rewards top shoppers with engaging experiences such as workshops and exclusive privileges.
At the CLUB313 Extravaganza Event, five booths were set up to showcase upcoming CLUB313 members’ exclusive workshops [including trendy fashion, beauty tips and food essentials] and we had the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a CLUB313 member.
The beauty booth was set up to inspire shoppers with tips on how to create a perfect look with professional advice from Etude House’s very own Make-Up Stylist.

Some of the limited edition sneakers from L.E. Way are really funky but they’re somewhat pricey. Nevertheless, they make great gifts for someone whom loves being trendy and contemporary.
