[Review] Sports Watch from Bicycles.sg

So something mysterious arrived in the mail last week... ...

Something that defines the history and present. 

Something that is classic...

What could this small, brown box possibly contain?


*Anxiously opens the box*

A beautiful white sports watch staring back at me as the minute hand slowly ticked away...


Thank you, Bicycles.sg!!

I couldn't bear to take it out of the box yet and went on to take countless photographs of the watch.


There are lovely rhinestone-like crystals above each numerical digit. It looks simple but yet classy - a style that I totally love!


I was even more thrilled when I realized that the watch fits me perfectly without going through the hassle of punching extra holes on the strap to fit my child-like wrist. (I'm not kidding when I say that my wrist is exceptionally small! I often have difficulty purchasing general-sized watches and had to punch extra holes on EVERY watch that I purchased outside.)

I love the fact that it looks unisex as well.


The holes extend up to the very maximum and even kids can wear it!


The strap is made of silicon material and it felt comfortable on my skin. 



In case you are wondering, the exterior silicon strap can be removed! 
(It'll be removed during the change of batteries)


Here's one last photo of the lovely piece - I just couldn't stop taking photographs of it!


Not to mention that they are so kind (and thoughtful, too!) to provide additional battery and a metal stick in case the existing battery runs out.


I have been wearing my new watch ever since the first day I received it, and I think it looks really good on me! (Sounds thick-skinned as I am complimenting myself here, but who cares?!?! HAHA)

And most importantly... This Sports watch is definitely affordable as it costs only.. $14! (Comes with batteries, premium gift packagingand FREE mailing too!! *faints* Too good to be true, but it's not!)

See to believe.
A screenshot of the page on their site:


Of course, they do not specialize in the sales of watches. As their name would have it, Bicycles.sg sells different kinds of bicycles (road/mountain/electric/foldable bicycles) and various accessories that I felt are affordable too! If you are an avid cyclist, I am sure this is a site you will not want to miss.
Although I did not purchase any bicycle from the online store, I was impressed by the reviews given by other customers. (You can read it under their "Reviews" tab!)

Wait no further - Check out their site now at:

[Movie Review] The Conjuring

So I managed to catch the horror/thriller or whatever-you-call-it movie of the year -
The Conjuring - on the exact day of Singapore's National Day with my not-so-botak BF. (evil grin)


Many people have been raving about this movie and I was told repeatedly how awesome it was...So of course it should be a wise choice to catch it (especially when I am such a horror maniac). Haha.. One of my friends even told me that he was scared stiff himself despite the fact that he was a horror fan as well! Now, that definitely sounded like a challenge...

So what is my verdict? Here goes:

It's AWESOME beyond awesome. The movie did not scare me successfully to a certain extent, but I would say it's indeed one that is worth every penny. There wasn't any scene that I found boring, and I truly enjoyed every single second being engrossed in the movie. 
(Haha, you would find yourself holding tight to your seat while preparing yourself to expect the unexpected!)

Basically, the movie revolves around a family of 7 (5 of whom were kids), who were HEAVILY disturbed by hauntings for years ever since they moved into a farmhouse. 
Well... ...
We are not talking about ordinary ghosts here, but demon possession. Think "The Exorcist", if you have watched.


Watch how the family was tormented by the demon until their saviors -two paranormal investigators- came to know about their situation and decided to help them. It was no easy task as they soon found themselves involved in the trauma as well.
There were lots of scenes that portray violence as the poor mother of the family was seen being thrown around like a ragdoll, scratched and everything you can imagine possible. There was not a single day when she managed to pass her day by in peace...

I love the hide-and-seek parts (those were the parts when the audience would easily scream) as the "ghost" would usually appear behind the main character.

And you know what was the best (and probably worst) part of the movie?

That this movie is NOT just your ordinary movie.
Because everything - including the horror you have witnessed in it- were based on a TRUE story. In other words, it is a re-enactment. Even the names remain unchanged. The family you see in the movie is a REAL family that is still living today (of course re-enacted by renowned actors and actresses, lah).. . And even the paranormal investigators were real people as well.
(Except that the real Ed Warren passed away in 2006. His wife, Lorraine Warren is still alive and active.)
It was an interesting research after watching the movie... Go and google them. You will definitely find out more than what the movie shows.
Well... I shall not disclose much as I do not want to "spoil" the "fun". I would say, "Go on.... It's a highly recommended movie..."
Ten thumbs up are simply not enough.
