Awesome Site!

As a professional who has worked in the web development industry for around 15 years, i have come across several businesses and websites. I would consider this one of the best online businesses I have seen. I seldom come across a site i like so much, so i decided to write this. The site is Massdrop PRODUCT SELECTION The community will discuss among itself on different items based on broad categories such as Audiophile, Men's Style, Tech, Writing etc. Each user is able to set up topics and recommend products for the community to vote. The highest voted product (with a min. number of votes required), gets selected and the Massdrop guys then get in touch with the supplier. BUYING Upon successful communication with the supplier, the product would then be added and people can start buying. Based on the number of people buying, the price would drop accordingly (just as with a real mass drop scenario). There is a cool feature which allows you to actually comm...

Candy Crush Tips Just hit level 1160 and there are no more levels to play :D Sharing what I've learnt so far: Try to remove orphan candy, leaving behind similar candy in closer proximity Think through every move as much as you can, patience is key If the move doesn't benefit, then just do something else Every level has a strategy, keep playing it till you find out the priority in which to do first, the rest is luck Only use powerups once u understand the level, this is like failing at it for at least 10 times Time is more important, don't be a purist, use money to save time or powerups Different powerups and candy combinations work better in different situations, there is no BEST combi or power up. Sometimes even NOT combining a candy gives the better result

Plumbing Things Upgrade: Toto? Hansgrohe or Grohe?

Basically, it is completing what i started when i first moved it but as i ran out of money, i couldn't, For toilets, i can tell you that after years of dealing with poor toilets, the absolute best one in my books is TOTO. Go for elongated, double piece and whirlpool flushing system. It is absolutely awesome. As for fixtures, i have always used Grohe stuff except for the kitchen and other bathroom. Now that my stuff pretty much broken down, i upgraded the kitchen and bathroom fixtures to Hansgrohe and also the sink to TOTO. A question that keeps coming up even 7 years ago when i started this was, Hansgrohe or Grohe? Generally they are both good but if you MUST choose one, here is the answer i found most compelling: GROHE Some time ago, one of the younger members of the family that then owned Hansgrohe decided to strike out on his own and started Grohe. He positioned it as a company with a more youthful take on the products. Grohe didn't last long and the son cashed out qu...

Diary of an Adult Hand Foot Mouth Disease (HFMD) Victim

Day 0 Wife calls me to say her foot has rashes and she WAS having a fever just yesterday and is still having a really bad throat. She suspects she caught HFMD because both our  kids (2 yrs and 4 yrs) are down with HFMD. She goes to the doctor, doc says its not and sends her home. Later in the evening, spots start to appear on her hand, we go back to the doc and yes, it is confirmed, she has it. Apparently the sores in her throat were very far down so it was hard for the doc to see. Anyway it has been confirmed. I joke that she is a statistic coz adults don't get this. Day 1 Got a bad cold today, whatever man, its just a cold. Whole family has HFMD but daddy is ok! Still continue my day as usual but as a precaution in case im a silent carrier, i choose not to go to work. Come back home and feel ok, however towards the night i develop a fever. Meanwhile, wife spots on her hands start to grow. Day 2 Really high fever today, ranging from 38.1c to 38.9c. Developed a really bad...
