Vietnam Dec'16: Ho Chih Min City - A Travelogue

Vietnam was beautiful.

I loved the sights and sounds, that felt strangely foreign and familiar at the same time. Young kids playing in the alleys, roosters strutting about like they owned the 'hood, street hawkers peddling their food, endlessly dangerous traffic that you have to learn to navigate with a brave heart and sure-footed steps.

My favourite part of this short trip to Vietnam: Spending so much time with my folks, and getting to snap candids of them - A rare opportunity. I do adore my two old folks very much, despite not seeing them as much as I ought to make the time for.

I want to capture them through my lens, because I'm worried that one day, when they're no longer there for me, I will miss them dearly and regret all the times I didn't. Didn't hug them more, show them a little more affection, take a selfie or two.

It doesn't matter that mumsy is complaining about her wrinkles and how ugly they are; she will always be beautiful in my eyes, regardless. As for papa, he may look like he doesn't care an ounce about anything at all, but I've learnt that he does, even if he pretends not to.

I love you both, Daddy and Mummy :)

Review: 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser!

3M-Water-Dispenser-14
Some things in your life are just like that - You never knew how much you needed it until it came into your life. That's exactly what the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser feels like to me, I wish I had this nifty machine so much earlier because it is such a god-send! I never knew how convenient it would be to have boiling hot water, ice cold water and room temperature water, all at the touch of one button!

3M-Water-Dispenser-15
Come to think of it, getting water at home is really such a chore!

For room temperature drinking water: Need to boil water in a kettle (That's what my family does everyday, multiple times too!), and then let it cool down before storing it in water containers to be reached for whenever we want room temperature drinking water.

For hot water: Use separate hot water dispenser that requires refilling everyday when water level gets low. It also takes a long time to boil the hot water in the dispenser once it runs out of water!

For ice cold water: Keep a bottle of chilled water in the fridge which is also very troublesome because it needs to be refilled frequently as well and it's just a hassle to keep taking the heavy bottle out from the fridge and then refilling it because the bottle empties so quickly!

It's become such a habit to do all the above that I'd always treated them as tiresome chores that were unpleasant but necessary.. Until the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser appeared in my life!

3M-Water-Dispenser-9
Just one machine for all my various watery needs. Hahaha! Whether it's hot water, cold water or room temperature water, it's now so fuss-free and easy with this dispenser! It's like having a kettle, multiple water containers and fridge, all rolled into one. Talk about efficient and space-saving!

With the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser, you can save precious time and space, while ensuring that the water you and your family drink is of the highest quality. The dispenser uses a miniaturised 3M filter based on proven filtration technology with more than 75 years of history. It's also BPA-free (that's the same feature to look out for in milk and water bottles for the young ones at home) and comes with UV sterilisation too!

Installation

3M-Water-Dispenser-1-2
Installation of the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser was done in under thirty minutes for my home: you'll need a water source and power point nearby! Drilling might be done as well depending on where the machine is placed.

3M-Water-Dispenser-2-2
All set up in a matter of minutes!

3M-Water-Dispenser-1
PS. The 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser comes in two colors, White or Black, but I picked Black because I liked its sleek exterior hehe!

3M-Water-Dispenser-7

3M-Water-Dispenser-10
To dispense icy cold water, check that the LED display on the right of the machine is lit blue then press the black push button below!

To switch to room temperature mode, simply tap the blue LED display once so it turns green :D

3M-Water-Dispenser-5
Which works perfectly for people like me who like their water slightly chilled but not too cold.. Hehe! These tiny hands belong to my nephew, he finds dispensing water from the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser so much fun!

3M-Water-Dispenser-6
There is a safety lock on the hot water feature, which will help to prevent any accidental dispensing of hot water - Really useful especially if you have babies and young kids at home!

3M-Water-Dispenser-13
With the piping hot water, I can easily cook my cup noodles or make myself a cuppa hot tea or coffee in a matter of seconds, so easy peasy!

3M-Water-Dispenser-12
So much hassle saved - I survive on instant noodles when I can't be bothered to spend time and effort to cook up a proper meal. Oops!

I can't cook, but the very least I could do is to whip up a cup of idiot-proof cup noodles made even easier with the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser!

Everyone at home is loving the 3M™ Hot, Cold & Room Temperature Filtered Water Dispenser, especially the hubby who loves drinking icy cold water!

The dispensing space  (adjustable up to 25cm in height) also makes it convenient to fill tall water bottles (up to 25cm in height) which is a feature YZ appreciates because he likes to fill up his big water bottle with cold water before he leaves home for work.

Another plus point is that the piped-in installation ensures a continuous supply of water to your dispenser without the need for manual refilling at all, completely hassle-free!

3M-Water-Dispenser-4-2
Maintenance is a piece of cake too, just remember to replace the 3M water filter cartridge every 6 months - There's only one cartridge to replace! The cartridges can be purchased directly from its distributor, Jestac or your nearest Selffix store for $120 per cartridge! Very reasonable, me thinks. You can also pre-order the cartridge from any Home-Fix store and collect 2-3 days later.

3M-Water-Dispenser-11

Christmas is barely a month away, and I'm loving the festive vibes and jolly good cheer! What's on your wish list this Christmas? For all the men and ladies who can't think of what to gift a loved one this season, how about a timeless and versatile watch?

A time piece is something that is not just functional and practical for daily use, it is also a stylish statement to complement your personality and style.

Sharing with you one of my favourite watches to date and also the one that I've received countless compliments on - MOVADO Museum Classic Watch!

This sleek and sophisticated work of art is so celebrated that the original design by Nathan George Horwitt conceived in 1947 was selected for the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the first ever watch dial to be awarded this prestigious distinction!

The dot at 12 o’clock is inspired by the sun at high noon while the moving hands suggest the movement of the earth.

Apart from the history behind MOVADO's iconic design, what I love about it most is how it is endlessly versatile. It goes together effortlessly with my entire wardrobe thanks to its simple and minimalistic design.

I'd say that this gorgeous time piece is such a worthwhile and affordable investment - I reach for the MOVADO Museum Classic Watch instinctively because it completes any outfit with a unique and chic touch!


Even from a distance, it is instantly recognisable with its classic elegance and clean design. I really love it!

Isn't it just beautiful?

Ladies, it's time to start hinting to your other halves about what you'd like to have for Christmas this year ;) You'll love the MOVADO Museum Classic Watch just as I do, I'm sure!

MOVADO watches can be found at selected City Chain shops, Gift Time (Plaza Singapura), International Watch and Nanking Watch.
