DBS PayLah! Is So Convenient!

I have got myself the highly advertised DBS PayLah! account for some time but this October is the first time that I used it. I have been rather blur of the usage but a kind carousell buyer told me that all she needed is just my handphone number. Within minutes, I received her payment and the deal is done. Wow! 

Understanding how it works, I got my second deal on carousell done via PayLah! too! I think I will cast my usual bank transfer payment aside already. It's really way quicker and easier to track than ibanking too. I love how I gets notified when payments come in. 

I now also recommended my parents to use it and they seems to be amused by it. Technology is really amazing. 

Download the DBS PayLah! app from Google Play or Apple Store and receive $5 when you enter my referral code, NAIFBK811!

Nestia App

I have been using Nestia App for quite a while. I got to know of this app during this year's river hongbao. It is quite an interesting app to read news of all the different segments and earn points upon leaving a reasonable comment. With the points earned, it can be exchanged for macbook, iphone 7, movie tickets, Capitaland vouchers and many other cool gifts!

There is a section of the app that has a fun function for users to send red packets to their friends. Friends can send a red packet in reply. Both parties can get to earn points for each red packet received.

Points accumulation will take some time but there is no harm in trying out this app!

Sign up here and get 100 points now!

Deja App for Cashback

With more and more cashback programme and app in the market, there is another one that I am using and would love to recommend. This is however mainly for purchases of ladies fashion products only.
 
You can get 5% cashback from purchases made at most of the popular fashion outlets. Examples are Rubi, Cotton On and Uniqlo! There are more participating brands and can be found on their app after download. Those receipts submitted can also be claimed for cashback with other programmes like Capitastar and Changi Rewards! It is really a good app to have in your phone as you bring out the fashionista in you!

Changi Rewards Membership

Singapore Changi Airport is one of the best place to shop whether one has a flight or not. Just like any other shopping centre, it is always a good choice to make good use of all the available promotions and their rewards system. 

Shop and accumulate points to redeem rewards from their catalog or exchange it for $5 voucher with 500 points. Do note that they count the year from March to next year's February. Last redemption has to be by 30th June. Points accumulated in the different programme years cannot be combined to redemption.  

I really hope that combination of points is allowed in future. I have wasted quite an amount of points because of this rule. It would be good too if the redemption period can be extended. 

Upon sign up, you will be entitled to a welcome gift and 50 points. But with my referral, you will get 100 points instead of 50 points! Click here now to receive 100 points! Membership is free!

Enjoy shopping at the world's best airport! =)

Glad You Came - The Wanted

This song got me a favourite boyband of all time. I love how meaningful the lyrics are. I even use the chorus in my thank you card for people that I appreciate.


Here is the lyrics:

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

You cast a spell on me, spell on me
You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me
And I decided you look well on me, well on me
So let's go somewhere no one else can see, you and me

Turn the lights out now
Now I'll take you by the hand
Hand you another drink
Drink it if you can
Can you spend a little time,
Time is slipping away,
Away from us so stay,
Stay with me I can make,
Make you glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

I'm glad you came
So glad you came
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts
Is here and now
My universe will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came


As I am sad that The Wanted has disbanded, I am glad they have made some awesome music that kept me going as I face my challenges in life. I really wish that they will have a comeback so that I can listen to more awesome songs. This song can also describe my feelings for the presence of this awesome boyband. =)

I Travelled with FWD Insurance

I just came back from my trip to Japan and this is the second time that I buy travel insurance online on my own. I find it cheaper as compared to buying from agents or via travel agencies.

What I like about FWD is that I can get 5% discount off my purchase. Clicking on the link here entitles you to get 5% off your selected plan too! You can even get an additional 5% off when they offer you to answer a questionaire to earn that perk.

I heard that claiming is easy but I am not sure about it as I am very lucky that I do not have to make any claims this time.

Since it was a smooth purchase for me and I was given discount, I would strongly recommend people to check out this company to get their desired insurance plans.

Carousell

I have been using Carousell for a while now and I really like the idea! I am more daring with my purchases now because if there is any reason that I do not need it in future, I can always sell it off. Sale was quite fast too.

However, there are a lot of funny and weird people on Carousell that people should beware of, besides from the scammers that cheat people of their hard earned money. For the safety of both buyers and sellers, I would strongly recommend the transaction to be done via meetup at accessible public spaces such as MRT stations. The reasons are that places like this are filled with people and there are surveillance cameras around that the other party is not that bold to play any tricks.

Before closing the deal for any transaction, it is always good to double check or triple check the items and assess the credibility of a seller. Feel free to talk more and ask more relevant questions. Don't ever give in to the temptation to save some money even though the seller can't answer the questions; something must be amiss then. That also doesn't mean that a buyer can behave like a jerk too. Everything takes both hands to clap.

Mainly as a carousell seller than a buyer, I have met my fair share of weirdos. I have come to the conclusion that carousell can have a tagline "where you find lots of weirdos" as their slogan. Sometimes it is really a test of my patience to answer irrelevant questions and unreasonable requests. Being a badass that leads a thug life, never do I believe that customers are always right. If any customer's rude behaviour hit my patience's limit, I rather not carry on with the deal.

As there are a lot of weird people on Carousell, there are nice people too! These are the people who makes life at Carousell better. To ensure things are smooth, be nice, whether as a seller or buyer, and take the necessary precautions.

Wishing all good and pleasant transactions on Carousell!

Shop with ShopBack

Online shopping has been really convenient and efficient at many levels and it is one of the most used way that people get their things bought. With the credit card charges and all the taxes, wouldn't it be great if you can actually get some money back with each item that you purchase? There is a program in place and it is like getting discount even the seller is not having any sale.

Sounds too good to be true? Yeah. However, it is true, as long as you meet the terms and conditions. I have been using ShopBack for some time and have accumulated quite some amount from most of my online spendings. The percentage of cashback may seems small, but it actually helps to save a lot as you accumulate with all the spendings over time.

Recently, they are hiring for a Chief Shopping Officer, with $4000SGD given at your disposal. I have applied for it and really hope that I can get it because I have been really loyal to the program and is crazy about online shopping.

I Have Changed

My blog has been really inactive. I have tried to be more active but it seems to be really hard to be the same as I was in the past. I wonder what was the cause. Facebook? Work? Age? Maybe it's just everything.

My writing style has inevitably changed too. Lots of posts were saved in draft mode because I tried to keep everything in my "old style". I have been trying to maintain it but my perspective is really different now Since that is the case, I guess I shall embrace this change and write in my new style, since it is not a negative change.

I guess I need a new blog profile photo and description as well. I see that things of my blog has to be revamped, to put everything into order, aligning with my current perception. The old posts will stay at it is while all new posts from now on will be a different and new style. I shall take it easy with the change as I have been very harsh on myself for many things. What I should do with the other inactive blogs shall be decided next time.

It's Chinese New Year's eve today, that I made the decision. Guess it's a good time to make the decision and make a good change for a brand new year. =)

Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! ^^
