Flying Budget? Jetstar Scoot

In my gmail, I came across a spam that mentioned Singaporeans flying to Hokkaido on Scoot. Googled for full information & got a blog that did some calculations & illustrations of Scoot website.

4hr 20mins to fly there with 1hr+ stopover at Taipei. Then another 4hr to Sapporo. *shudders*

I really can't sit so long in a budget carrier plane. It's too small, too cramped. And I'm not even tall.

Some years ago, I took Jetstar plane to Taipei (from Singapore). The trip was 3 hrs+. 

I'm petite & even so, the seat was very uncomfortable in the small space. If there is an accident, it's going to be worse than Hell.

I sat at a window seat in a three-seats row on the right side of the plane. The seat beside me was empty. The seat after that was occupied by a long-legged Asian guy who was very quiet & very patient with my 3 times going out to the bathroom. The 3rd time, he was dozing when I had to "disturb" him with my exit to go to the toilet again.

During the flight, he shifted uncomfortably in his seat & sighed. I guessed maybe someone had booked the flight for him & he is now experiencing the misery of it. For me, leg-room is not a problem. But the seat is uncomfortable.

No drinks, no meals is 1 thing. But no space along the aisles between the seats. That's very dangerous.

The width of the aisle was only enough to fit the food trolley. Once the trolley was there & it took ages to move down the rows, there was no way anyone can get up to go to the toilets.

Imagine if there was an accident or an emergency. There isn't going to be any space at all. It'll be jammed.

People always think about the cost savings, the meals, the drinks, the leg-room, luggage. Nobody ever thinks about the danger of the tight space in budget carriers.

They assume the plane will fly according to schedule from point A to point B. But with budget carriers, what corners did they cut to offer the low prices?

Less maintenance? Less of what else?

After flying Jetstar once, I don't think I can make myself fly on a budget airline again.  3 hrs or 4 hrs too unbearable. Furthermore, not once but twice (return trip).

At that time, Jetstar boarding was surprisingly orderly & fast. A steward was smarter than 2 or 3 stewardesses. A man insisted on putting his bags of stuff overhead but the stewardesses said there was no space. He made a lot noise, said he couldn't possible have it under the seat since it's so cramped.

A tall, handsome steward came by & all he did was push the other items aside in the overhead storage & viola! Space for the man's stuff.  *shakes head* How can the stewardesses be so stupid?

Smudging & Crystals Work on Paranormal Injury

4:15pm Sun 11 Dec

I tend to be lazy in posting paranormal stuff that happens to me. I just don't feel the need or incentive to type it out. It could be something explainable, so... I don't feel the need to give it any significance & tend to just let it slide, although at the time, it is clearly paranormal. 

Typing takes a lot of time. No benefit. I'm a skeptic.

It's amazing how fast time passes. If I don't type it out immediately, the event will just fade away, further and further away into the days, the weeks, months. Then the exact date & day it happened will be forgotten.

First time this has happened to me. For my own record:

2 Dec Friday night, Bro was complaining about his brain fog again. As usual, he dropped himself onto my bed.

I decided to use the small, single-pointed, polished quartz rod that I bought from Harmony Gem that same day in the afternoon.

[We recently got into crystals to help with dispelling whatever is causing my bro to have weird brain fog. This was the first time we visited Harmony Gem. The shop actually closed for a few days & Friday 2 Dec was the day they re-open. At first I had thought we wouldn't be able to go because I wanted to go swimming & Harmony closes at 3pm or earlier.  Won't be able to make it in time. But Thurs night I checked & discovered the pool will be closed on Friday. So we were able  to go.].

I like this quartz piece because 3/4 of it is filled with crystals "ice cloud" inside while the peak is crystal clear. $10. Too bad it's small. Peak to base only 5.5cm tall.

I suggested using the crystal to see if it could help. He agreed. I asked him to lay down on my bolster & close his eyes. At the time, he was lying in parallel with the width of the bed, along the length edge.

With his eyes closed, I put my left hand beside him on the bed for support while in my right hand, I held the crystal by the base & moved the pointed end around his head clockwise slowly a few times, then reversed the direction.  Clockwise is to heal the aura, anti-clockwise to clear the disturbance. I'm not really into crystals, so I don't know which direction I should do first. I tend to do clockwise first.

Did it only about 4 or 5 times with the crystal. Was hoping to go around longer but he opened his eyes.

I asked him if he felt better, he said "a bit".  We thought maybe this was because of his lying down position altering the blood pressure in his head or body.

As I lifted my left hand that was near him on the bed, I suddenly realized there was something painful on top of my left forearm. So I looked & touched the spot. There was nothing on the skin but when I touched the part with my finger, there was a swell underneath. Feeling it, it was quite a thick bruise, like a raised tendon or flesh inside.

I immediately thought something paranormal must have fled from my bro while I was doing the quartz rod on him & that "thing" went into me.  I said that whatever in him must have jumped to me.

Maybe because he didn't want to feel that it was because of him, Bro said I must have banged my forearm on something earlier without realizing it.

Not possible because the whole day, there was nothing that could have caused such a bruise. We went to Harmony Gem, then ate Bak Kut Teh at ARC, then came home. And I watched Korean drama & anime after that at home.

I thought maybe I was hit by the door at Harmony Gem? The door didn't touch me & if it had hit me, I would have known. Besides, I open the door with my right hand. How can my left hand be injured?

Even if I had somehow banged the arm earlier, why was I only feeling it now? Ok, maybe my forearm positioning on the bed might have caused the pain to surface.

Fine.

But then the next day, the discoloration of the bruise appeared on the forearm.  It was also more painful when I pressed my fingers to feel across the swell underneath.

I said to bro that in exchange for his feeling only "a bit" better that night, I sustained such a bruise. Not matching. I lamented, "I help you but I get this bruise.".  Next time, he can use the quartz on himself, otherwise, I'll get another injury (but he declined using the quartz on himself.).

Sun 4 Dec, I put my small quartz rod onto the bruise & used a rubber band over my arm to lightly hold it in place. Nothing happened after removing the rubber band,  except the imprint of the crystal was on my skin. I also attached my short Selenite stick with the same rubber band & it also didn't work.

Usually, my wounds & injuries heal very fast. Just before this case, I also had a strange, quite large feeling of a bruise on top of my left knee & I only felt it when I squatted in the bathroom while bathing (no skin discoloration).  I didn't know how I got it, but it disappeared in 2 days.

This wound on my left forearm was paranormal. I know it.

Was I "bitten" by some paranormal entity? The discoloration pattern of the bruise looked odd.  At first, I thought it looked like 2 fangs & a mouth in the middle. But on closer scrutiny, the 2 "fangs" seemed to be just uneven skin coloration.  I was unable to figure out the shape of the odd dark bruise between the 2 "fangs".

On Monday or Tuesday night, while we were going home in a bus, I asked bro to look at the pattern. Right away, he said "diamond-shaped" & "square". He even outlined the pattern with his finger above it.

I looked again carefully.  It was diamond-shaped.  One "diamond" point was facing my elbow with the other end facing my hand. The other 2 points faced each side of the forearm.

Bro said, "Strange. What kind of object could have caused this shape of bruise?".

I thought it might be the shape of the quartz rod bottom, maybe some kind of "imprint". But when I checked, the base is 6-sided.

Although the shape is diamond, the swollen flesh underneath is horizontal/lengthwise.

I didn't measure it at the time, but the diamond shape was about 3cm by 3cm.

Bro suggested that perhaps "whatever" fled that night from my quartz, banged into my arm.  (whereas in the beginning, I had thought that it had entered my arm).

Since the mark & swell underneath wouldn't go away, I tried a different method with the crystals.  (After this, I realized that for crystals to work, you can't just stick it there on the wound. Have to move it around above the injury to work.)

I rested my left forearm on a wooden board while the sunlight was shining in my balcony. Then I used my bigger, palm-sized Selenite oval to go around clockwise about 30-40 times slowly over the bruise, then anti-clockwise the same number of times.  When done, the bruise started to tingle. Only the bruise & not the whole arm.

If the tingle was caused by the allevation of the arm, then the whole forearm should react. But only the bruise reacted. Only the exact spot where I circled the crystal.

I also did it another time with the addition of holding a small Tourmaline block in the same hand.

Later, I did it with only the quartz rod & still only the bruise tingled. Maybe it was my standing position?

So, another time at night, I sat down at my laptop with my forearm relaxed beside me. I held the Selenite oval in my right hand & did the same thing. Same tingle at the bruise on my arm.

I don't even need to touch the bruise with the crystals. Just circle the crystal a few centimeters above the bruise. When done, the tingle lasts for about 5 minutes or longer. I didn't notice it the first time immediately until the tingling made me realize it.

I tried circling with a small block of Black Tourmaline & the bruise also tingled. However, the short Selenite stick did not cause any reaction the first time I tried it (I didn't try again). When I bought that short Selenite stick, I also had no particular feeling for it or from it. I just bought it because I assumed the longer sticks would cost more.

It seems the crystal people are right: Bigger crystals have greater power than small ones. Bro thinks so. He says it's common sense that bigger means give off more energy. Then why did my small quartz rod work? 

Crystal people also say that you must have affinity for a crystal for it to work. I think the crystal has power when you have affinity for it regardless of its size. The quartz rod is small but it worked because I chose it with a liking for it when I bought it. The short Selenite rod didn't work because I didn't have any feeling for it when I bought it. The bigger Selenite oval worked because I liked it when I bought it.

For the next 2 days or so, the crystals didn't seem to do much more. The swell underneath the skin was still there & so was the discolored bruise that seemed to stay.

Around mid-week, we decided to purchase Palo Santo wood sticks to cleanse the house. I have been wanting to buy but Secret Crystals sells them expensively at $21.90 for 5 sticks. We got them cheaper for just $12 for 3 shorter sticks at another place.

Just a thought, I asked bro to smudge my bruise. After smudging, there was a slight tingle at the bruise even though the smoke touched along the forearm. Also, the diamond shape appeared have slightly faded around the bottom area (I thought maybe it was my imagination.).

Starting from the next day, the bruise began to fade & the swell subsided. Smudging was done another 2 times to try getting rid of it completely.

Only yesterday Saturday, the discoloration is gone. The swell is still a little there when pressed. Very slight pain (when pressed across) still remains at the moment.

Since Fri 2nd till now Sun 11.  More than 1 week (counting 9 days from Sat 3 Dec) & the wound is still not completely gone. To have caused such an injury, any "bang" (impact) on the forearm must have been very hard & painful. How can I not have known it?

I know for sure that I did not bang that forearm on anything that day. And my wounds & injuries do not take so many days to heal.

The bruise responded to smudging & crystals circling above it. It's no ordinary wound.

Grudgingly, I can admit that perhaps I banged on something without realizing it, but I know I did not.

Just now, I asked Bro to help smudge my forearm again & the bruised area still tingles, but slightly, not as much as before. I guess it's because the wound is going away & the effect of the damage is not as strong as before.

Update 2:03pm 15 Dec Thurs:  Was just talking with my bro about his brain fog & whether he smudged himself last night etc... Then I said I smudged my bruise twice last night (no tingle). And I suddenly realized while saying it that the injury has almost completely healed. I pressed it. The swell underneath with slight pain has gone.

Update 4:41pm 16 Dec Fri: There is still some slight pain when press for it. It's been 14 days since Sat 3 Dec. And still hasn't fully healed. This shows how dangerous these paranomal things are if a person is not properly aware & protected.

To go into an unknown place just to "explore" knowing that there is paranomal activity, is very dangerous. So-called ghost adventurers. They find it fun & thrilling without realizing what these things can do to a person's aura & physical well-being.

Once the aura is penetrated, physical injury is easy & lasting. No doctor can cure it. And you can spend huge loads of money trying to find a cure assuming that it's a real, physical medical problem.

Update 4:09pm Sat 17 Dec. I just did smudging on the injury again. It still tingles after smudging is done. Only at the "bruise" that can't be seen anymore but can still be felt (very slight pain) when pressed along that spot.  I smudged the whole forearm but only that spot tingles.

Update 10:24pm 28 Dec Wed:  The injury completely healed 2 days ago when it so happened I thought of it & checked. I was talking to bro when I remembered. Healed as in completely ok in original condition when I pressed the area. No pain at all anymore. I still smudged it this evening just because I had some extra smoke from the stick.

Took damn long to heal. Unnaturally long. Bro said spiritual injury takes longer to heal than physical.

From 2 Dec to 28 Dec (or 2 days earlier), it's almost a month.  A very long time for just a bruise to heal. Usually, any real bruise takes just 1-2 days for me. Even once when I had a bad fall at Vivocity roof steps & sprained my ankle till it was swollen blue-purple & very painful, the swell & pain subsided quickly in 2 days. And within a week, I could swim.

My Crystals from Secret Crystals & Harmony Gem (SG)

Below video shows the combined crystals from the 2 shops (there's another plate of Black Tourmaline chips with 6 small Black Tourmaline blocks not in the video).

Total $72.90 + $95 = $167.90. Just for this little row of stuff (video below & even with the other plate).

Almost the same price as our first visit to the ENT consultant at Tan Tock Seng Hospital last year (around $197+) who ended up telling us nothing but still collected money. Rip off.

Bro said at least buying crystals, there is something to hold & admire. Whereas going to a stupid doctor gets nothing. Well, not entirely nothing. The consultant said there was nothing wrong that he could see in his expertise but could provide no explanation or solution to the problem & would not entertain what he called "speculation" that the haze had caused it.  We walked out as clueless as when we went in, but $197+ poorer.

Bro said, "You don't need a degree to say 'I don't know'. For all your education,  all you can say is 'I don't know'. Go to a doctor & spend money just to see him/her shrug shrug.".   He mimicked their shoulders going up & down 'I don't know'.

Life is full of professional scammers. Or you could say Life itself is a scam.


Below videos: There was beautiful sunlight but the camera couldn't quite capture it. I re-recorded it a few times & couldn't get any better.

Note that Amethyst (the purple glittery crystal) cannot be sunned. It will fade. I didn't know that. But learnt later.

[Update 8 Feb Wed 12:04am. Crystals are not hocus-pocus. They work. Nothing proves this better than when a person is in need of them. It's like if you are not sick, a medicine will not "work". U have to be sick to know that it does.] 







[Update 8 Dec Thurs: We were back on our 3rd visit today at Harmony & $30 was a very good price for 1 lovely big slab of Labradorite (I was very surprised when lady boss said, "for you" after counting the other items. I thanked her.) + 1 pebble-size Rainbow Obsidian $5 + 1 palm-sized Carnelian stone $10 + 1 small packet of polished Amethyst chips $15 that I took forever to choose each piece.).  Very happy with this combination of purchase this time.] 

Horrible Singing Bowl: Cleansing Damaging to Crystals (?) & Warning to Pregnant Women

[Update 3:25pm 15 Dec Friday 2017:  Ignore anything negative I said about Citilink Harmony Gem Crystals. Lady boss has been very kind to us. Gives advice & she's always optimistic & reassuring. Thanks. 

Great crystal shop with wide variety of freshly stocked crystals every time. Tubs & tubs of power crystals. This time strangely, there wasn't any of that strange, unique scent when we approached from outside.  Only in the shop itself, the scent could be detected. Previously she had said she don't burn incense. But that scent is incense-like. Strange. I didn't mention to lady boss that the scent has gone from outside. I can't smell it anymore outside.]
-----------------


It should be called a Horrible Machine.

What cleansing? What therapy? Horrible. Can't believe such sound can ever be used for "therapy".

The resonance was horrible. I never want to hear another "Singing Bowl" again.

At first, I was innocently standing around choosing crystals among the tubs. Then someone started a strange sound. I looked up.

This male staff was running a thick stick over a huge quartz bowl at the counter. As he did so, the sound became louder & louder, amplified deeper & deeper with a heavier & heavier resonance.

I couldn't bear it anymore. Worst resonance ever. The resonance was not only jarring. The deeper & heavier it went like a resonating amplified echo, I started feeling sick in the middle of my body, spreading up to my head. I wanted to tell him to stop.

The man only started it for a few seconds & I had to leave. Quickly, left my choosing container on the crystal tubs & walked out of the shop, shut the door. Even through the door, I could hear the resonating sound. Horrible.

Oddly, my bro & another male customer were able to remain inside. The male customer looked at me when I stood outside. When I asked bro how he felt afterwards, he said it vibrated through his body & the sound was noisy & jarring but nothing more.

I had felt sick. It wasn't about the noise or even that it's loud. It was the reverberating resonance that was amplified louder & louder with each round of the stick high-pitching against the rim.

Had to get out. Not only cleansing out bad spirits but cleansing me out as well. Horrible. Even now thinking about it, I grimace at that horrible resonance.

When the man stopped resonating the bowl, I went back inside. Beads of perspiration was on my upper lip. I was seriously stressed out.  Immediately after that, I had discharge below.  The uterus was affected.

I never knew a frequency like that would upset me this much. Didn't know until now that I am sensitive to vibrational resonance.

I think it's bad for crystals to be "cleansed" like that. Their internal crystalline structure could be mis-aligned or re-aligned after the resonance. Means, they won't be the same. It's not cleansing. It's damaging.

It disturbs the human body, it can disturb crystals.

The resonance probably causes water molecules in the body to vibrate & interferes with electric impulses in the cells & brain. It affects the female uterus.

Warning: Singing bowls should not randomly be played in any shop with customers around! Especially if female customers are pregnant or other customers may have a heart condition!  The shop is being very uneducated & naive about the serious science behind the Singing Bowl resonance.

They sell crystals & believe in crystal vibrations & yet they use the Singing Bowl anyhow. No wonder people think such people are hocus-pocus.

There is real science in sound waves, frequencies & resonance. Think of the hospital using ultrasound. Are the fetuses really safe from ultrasound checks? Sound can also be used to destroy & kill. That resonance, do not underestimate it.

Ironic that in the whole shop of hocus-pocus rocks & crystals, there is real science in that Singing Bowl.

[Update 4 Mar Sat 8:43pm: As mentioned in my other post, crystals are Not hocus-pocus. However, they have limited power against ghosts & spirits.]

I'm not pregnant but I do have a uterine fibroid (tumor). I didn't know it's affected by resonance.

After that one time, nobody played it for a while. But then another man (not a staff) started using the stick to ring the bowl. Bro said it's a customer starting it. Meaning, the bowl will resonate every time a customer buys something & agrees to cleanse it.

Again, I stepped outside.  I was thinking how can I keep coming to this place in future if every time I have to step outside?

When I was finally done & paid for the few crystals, the lady boss was automatically about to send my crystals to the bowl. I said, "Using the bowl?". She said, "Yes.". I said, "No need.".

Every of the 3 crystal shops I went to these few days has its own strange thing.

1) Yu Zhu Gallery @ Fortune Center: Shop owners wrap every piece of crystal in plastic packets. So, customers unable to hold & touch & feel. There are some crystals that are not wrapped but not many to choose from.

2) Secret Crystals @ Bugis Cube: Shop owner gets frequent visits by negative energies from customers with problems.

3) Harmony Gem Crystals @ Citilink (previously from Sunshine Plaza): Horrible Singing Bowl that resonates every time a customer buys something & agrees to cleansing.  [Update 8 Dec Thurs: Discovered that singing bowl rung by lady boss is bearable. I don't have to step outside. Update 4 Mar Sat: After the first few times, singing bowl does not affect me as much.]

I think I'm done with crystal shops. Today's expenditure at Harmony Gem was $45. For just 3 small shards of orange calcite + 1 palm-sized, polished Selenite Moonstone + 1 small Desert Rose Selenite + 3 small yellow calcite + 1 5.5cm polished quartz stick + 1 5.5cm thicker, less polished quartz stick.

The lady boss (cheery Indian woman with fair complexion) said "very cheap".  It is cheaper than Secret Crystals' prices but I wouldn't say it's "very cheap".   [Update 4 Mar Sat 8:46pm: Lady boss is very nice & understanding. Very reasonable & kind prices if you are a regular there. I Never ask for discounts.].

The polished palm-sized oval Selenite I saw on a US website is US$19.70 with shipping. Here it's only S$10. Was quite surprised.  (I rinsed it very briefly with distilled water when I came home, wonder if it shrank? I forgot not to rinse the Desert Rose. The white patterns of Selenite disappeared. Damn. Not going to buy again. No money.). 

Certain crystals that Secret Crystals has, such as Golden Honey Calcite, Harmony Gems don't have. Harmony Gem has bigger chunks of crystals & rocks (at "cheaper" prices) & more variety (in large tubs). As many people have said, Harmony Gem has an extensive range.

I'll add that Harmony's rocks & crystals have a "new" & stronger energy than those at Secret Crystals. Stronger energy probably because each kind is plenty in tubs. I can feel the energy from each rock or crystal when I hold it whereas the few at Secret Crystals are "blank" (I don't feel anything or have any feelings for them).

[Update 8 Dec Thurs: Harmony's crystals & rocks in the tubs emit a happy & positive energy. No wonder one guy said in an online forum that he always ends up buying something every time he steps in there & has to "cut back" on visits there.]

When I saw such large quantities of each kind in tubs, I guessed each piece would be cheaper compared to the much fewer items sold at other shops.  Harmony is a wholesaler.

Previously saw Singing bowls at Secret Crystals & I was curious how it sounded. Not anymore. >.<
I did a brief check online for singing bowls making people ill, but came up with nothing.

Luckily, it seems the effects are not lasting on the body. Once the Singing Bowl stops, the resonance still rings the air! Wait outside until it's completely quiet, before going back in. 

Supposedly, Harmony Gem Crystals' boss is a Moroccan man.

As I mentioned in the other post, self-ownership shops tend to have irregular opening hours. They open & close whenever they feel like it. The lady boss said they close at 3pm on Sat when I asked whether they open on Sat. No mention of early closure today (Friday). According to online information, they close at 3pm.  But after choosing & going to pay, she suddenly said they close at 2.30pm "today".

I wasn't surprised at all since I earlier already told bro that they may close at 2.30pm. Psychic? Not really. Just a guess.


Update 3 Dec Sat 10:29pm: Yes, they are open Sat.  Today, spent another $50.  Although I said above, that I'm done with crystal shops, we still went back today.

Bro needed more Black Tourmaline & I was considering buying a handful of Peridot. Since yesterday the first time I was there (Fri), I've been thinking that their Peridot are bigger pieces & much more beautiful than those I bought from Secret Crystals. Only later, I realized it's because Harmony Gem Peridot is polished & shine like gems. A whole tub of Evening Emerald (another name for Peridot).

That woman who looks like Indian but not Indian... I realized she quotes everything $10 like $10 drops from the sky. Bro said, "To her, it does drop from the sky.".  [Update 4 Mar Sat: Again, as mentioned above, her prices are very reasonable. Buy more for "cheaper" overall pricing.].

Bro chose 4 small Black Tourmaline. I chose 1 small Amethyst rock & about 90g of Peridot (I went home & weighed the Peridot).

She said, "$10, $10, $10... $50. This one ... (she touched the packet of Peridot while my mind was dismayed by the cost, thinking that's an additional $12)... free.".

For every $10 she said, my mind sank more & more.

Free? I smiled in relief. 5 stones $50 & one very small packet of shiny Peridot (half of a very small seal bag). Major expensive. This woman is very good at making the customers happy.

Actually, I don't think the Peridot is free. At Secret Crystals, we previously bought the same size of Black Tourmaline, 2 for $15. Meaning 1 for $7.50.

Harmony charged $10 per piece for the same size. Means $2.50 more than Secret Crystals per piece x4 = $10.

Exactly what that small packet of Peridot should cost. 100g $12. I went home to weigh & it's 90g. Therefore, exactly no discount at all, let alone free.

I had filled a quarter of a rectangular takeaway plastic container & then asked her how she charged.  She looked at the amount in the container that I was holding, said 100g $12.  It was a moment where we both knew that amount I was holding was going to be a lot of money. I would have to pour back to a more rational amount.

Although she didn't say, it's obvious the price is because the Peridot are bigger & polished. They shine like gems. Very beautiful whereas Secret Crystals charge $6 per packet of about 100g. I didn't weigh it. But Secret Crystals' Peridot are small & rough without polish, so they don't shine.

I think from now on,  she is going to be the $10 woman in my mind. Everything $10. Yesterday's purchases also $10, $10...  (Bro started calling her Samurai because you get one slash across with each $10 quote. Come out all "wounded". Hahaha...). 

Yesterday $45. Today $50. This shop alone has made $95 from us.  Just for rocks. No wonder they are rich.

[Update 4 Mar Sat 2017: Since getting to know the lady boss, she has mentioned many times that they don't do it for money. More important that customers buy their crystals in a happy mood. She said, "Must be happy.". I like their way of thinking. Very practical.]

Bro & I are not in the bad habit of asking for discounts. We leave it to her to offer discount if she wishes. I think this is very important when buying crystals. Do not bargain because these are special items that will help us.

Today, luckily, only 1 ring of the Singing Bowl for a customer. I quickly stepped out before the male staff could begin. It rang very long. I only went back into the shop after it had ceased completely.

At the end when he wanted to use the Singing Bowl for my purchases, bro told me, "You better stop him, he's going to ring it.". I hadn't realized & quickly went over to ask if the paper bag items were mine. He said "yes". I said "No need" (to "cleanse"). As usual, the lady boss smiled at me while she sat at the counter, repeating that oh, I didn't need them cleansed. I think I'm probably the only customer who doesn't want their free "cleansing" service.

Surprisingly, did not see any crystal pyramids at Harmony Gem.

Update Sun 4 Dec: Also, there is a subtle smell in the store. I noticed it the first time I was there on Friday. It seemed to be coming from her make-up? But it should be in or from the store since my Desert Rose Selenite which is porous, absorbed the smell. My clothes also smell of it.


Even till now, 2 days later, my Desert Rose Selenite still has the smell. It has soaked through even despite my rinsing the day I bought it home.

I think it's the smell of an incense that they perhaps burn when they open shop. During operating hours, there is no incense burning.

It's possible that she is the one who burns the incense. And it is her clothes that carry the smell. I first noticed it when she came over opposite me at the tubs. She was giving me her attention in a friendly way since there were no customers at the time. The smell seemed to be from her face as she smiled. So, I thought it was from her make-up.

But when I went home & started gently washing the crystals, I noticed there was a smell from the Desert Rose Selenite after drying. [Reminder: Do not wash Selenite crystals especially Desert Rose Selenite.]

[Update 4 Mar Sat 2017:  Some time back, I talked to the lady boss & she told me she does not burn any incense. I said I can smell it all the way from the outside towards her shop & all the other units along the row does not have smell. I asked if it was perhaps the building's air freshner? She said I'm not the only one who has smelled it. Other customers have mentioned it. She says she don't smell anything.  When their shop was at Sunshine Plaza, customers also mentioned their shop had a scent.  She shook her head puzzled while talking to me & said it's probably the "magic from the crystals", gesturing the air rising from the tubs of crystals. I was thinking it would be interesting to ask those customers if the scent from Sunshine Plaza was the same as in this new location. ]

If you're looking for Palo Santo wood for smudging, Harmony Gem does not have it. Said "out of stock". They have bags of loose Sage leaves.

They also don't have packets of crystal chips (whereas they are sold at Secret Crystals & Yu Zhu Gallery).[Update 4 March Sat 2017: Crystal chips are useless. They have no or little power.]

Another thing is that the lady boss does not know her stuff well. She's just the money & customer front. She didn't know what was Palo Santo & looked at me with puzzlement. I was surprised.

Yesterday at the cashier, I can't help but notice that her make-up was so thick that it cracked everywhere on her face. I started to wonder what she was hiding.  [Update 4 March Sat 2017: She is a very nice & understanding lady. 'Very soothing presence & good aura. Very happy being in her shop.]

Legend of the Blue Sea Lee Min Ho

Boring. First of all, they don't match. The female lead is older (too old to be mermaid) & looks like his elder sister. Lee Min Ho has also grown older, so fast.

Where can a story with a mermaid go? No action. Too much talk, loose extras. Now the main drive is when Lee Min Ho will discover/remember that she is a mermaid. How can that drive interest? Even the ending at each episode is so bland. The preview of the next episodes are equally bland.

My love from the Stars was better. Funny & meaningful.

I just watch Legend of the Blue Sea for Lee Min Ho's face. At first the old-era segments were more interesting than the modern city part. But now even the old-era story has become boring.

Why is the female lead's (Jun Ji-Hyun) teeth black with gaps in between?

Search For Crystals in Singapore

Sometimes, I deliberately don't read up information on certain things because I want to feel it myself first without interference. I say "feel" because I have certain feelings for certain situations, people & things.

These 2-3 days, I have shifted some interest to crystals after reading online posts on how to get rid of negative energies/spirits in the house.

Been to 2 crystals shops so far. The first shop (Yu Zhu Gallery@ Fortune Center), despite being located in a quiet & deserted old building on the top floor, made me very happy when I left, even without buying anything. No idea why.

The shop was well lit in warm yellow lights. But each piece of crystal was in a plastic packet so I couldn't dare to pick them up (in case I transferred my energy to it & was concerned the shop person might not like if I touched their things.).   [Update: 6 Dec Tues: We visited the shop again. Was pleased with the very nice & friendly guy there. Not everything is in packets. But the variety is too few. Prices are very reasonable.]

The shop lady was polite. She smiled at me when I entered. Of course, I reciprocated by nodding back with a smile. That created a positive start.  Throughout, she said nothing & let us look around until we walked out.

Bro says my happiness at the end, could be because I was simply happy to have found the shop. Hmm...

Well, when I approached the place, I didn't have any good expectations. I was mentally prepared that the shop staff might be arrogant & rude. Having found the shop on the top floor & the lady smiled... was nice. But nothing to be so happy about, especially when I didn't find anything I liked. Also, the variety was very limited. Very few crystals to look at. Prices were ok for some, but too few to choose from & not able to feel in your hand (because in plastic packets).

Just looking at the crystals in their plastic packets without touching them, made me happy. Don't know why.

I walked out feeling really happy. Never felt like that in a shop before. The sort of happiness that nothing can dent. That feeling.

Could be something in the shop that is giving off that happiness aura that I picked up.

Today (Tues 29 Nov), we went to another shop (Secret Crystals@ Bugis Cube). We were actually there a few days previously at night but it was closed. This time, we arrived earlier in the late afternoon. I expected the shop to be closed (based on a past comment by a buyer that he/she arrived but shop was closed & shop owner replied that she had probably gone out on an errand.).  From experience, this type of self-ownership shop tend to be slack with opening hours. They open & close whenever they feel like it.

So, expecting it to be closed is not something psychic.  But I was very certain today (almost 100% to 100%) that when we arrive, the shutters will be closed.  (2nd visit 1 Dec Thurs different timing: I was very sure she would be open & she was.).

I told Bro before we got on the bus to go there, that if the shop is closed, we will go elsewhere first & then come back.

True enough, the shutters were down.  If I had placed a bet, I would have won.

However, as we got closer, I saw the inside yellow lights were on, meaning the shop owner was around & probably went to the restroom. The sign on the shutters also said, "Be right back".  I was happy to see the shop owner appear inside & come forward to open the shutters without any displeasure. She didn't smile but I could see it was fine.

I said "Hi" & that we came to see the crystals & asked whether we could do that.

This shop is better than the first. More variety. Pretty crystals that I know nothing about.

Wanted to buy quartz but didn't see any that I liked. I came with intention to buy if possible (Selenite is one of them). I liked the box of short & long Selenite sticks.  They remind me of the Thai dessert syrup tapioca drizzled with coconut milk. Yummy.

I liked the long sticks but thinking they are expensive (no price indicated), I chose a short one. The whole box had a very comforting & soothing look.  I liked all of them, especially the long sticks! Liked the whole box.

Now that I'm back home & reading up on Selenite, a website says it emits a peaceful vibration. That's when I realized that that was what I was feeling when looking at the Selenite box. Peaceful.

Before reading that, I didn't know Selenite had a peaceful feeling. I wanted to buy it because websites say it can cleanse aura.

When I was there, the other crystals were just rocks, I felt nothing holding them (except for the frosted quartz).  That box of Selenite was best thing in the whole room/shop, besides the box of honey cake crystals (I don't know what they are called.). Honey cake crystals, I wanted to buy whole box too.

Just buying a short Selenite stick & looking at it, also has that calm feeling. But the whole box is really "power".  The whole box soothes.  It's just very nice to look at. Probably due to the horizontal striations along the crystals.

If only I could buy the whole lot. Loved the honey cakes crystals more.

Definitely buying one Selenite stick. And I held in my fingers a short one the whole time in the shop. We must have spent at least 30-40 mins there.   (A day after. 1Dec Thurs: I find that I like holding/gripping it in my fist. It's very good to hold. Don't know why. It just feels nice in my left fist, fits in against my palm & grip. In my right fist, it's not as nice.).

Bro bought a packet of small Black Tourmaline chips & he poured them onto a plate that we bought after dinner before going home. Put it on his table & he says he feels a difference to his room now.  He's not sure if it's just in his mind.

He actually chose the biggest block with the assumption that bigger is better (no other feelings attached to it). I told him that it's probably expensive considering the size. He then settled for packeted chips that was cheaper. He wanted it because he read the description in the shop: specific purpose to get rid of negative energies.

I walked out of this 2nd shop happy, but not as happy as when I walked out of the first shop. The first shop, I bought nothing but was strangely very happy. This 2nd shop, I bought a few things but not as happy. The seller in this 2nd shop was friendly, so it's not about the service.

Maybe after the first shot of seeing crystals for the first time, the novel feeling has fallen (so fast?)?

Bro says he felt nothing from all the stones/crystals in the shop probably because his "brain fog" was blocking everything.  He just felt stoned by that fog.

Strangely, his feeling of nothing in that shop is what I also felt from the stones/crystals (as mentioned above). I suppose it's a good thing. Means the crystals didn't absorb anything & the shop owner is a good keeper of these crystals/stones to keep them blank (new).

It was only after leaving this shop that I realized the lady boss was nice to have given a discount even though I didn't ask for it. It's not good to ask for discount when buying Fengshui or lucky things. It's better that when a shop boss likes you or likes your business, he/she is happy to automatically give discount. 

Update 7:11pm 1 Dec Thurs: 1 day after our first visit to Secret Crystals, she did not seem to remember us (even though she was friendly & we talked just a day ago). Disappointment. When I stepped into the shop, she saw me. I opened my mouth to say "hi" but she just looked away to another customer. Tsk, tsk, tsk.

On Tues, she said she was going to top up the frosted quartz crystals "this week". But today I went & didn't see any new additions.

We chose 3 packets of crystals (chips) & 2 blocks of Black Tourmaline. No discount. It's fine. Just that when a seller gives discount the first time but no discount subsequently, the customer will make a note of it.

Now I know why the shop doesn't have as good an aura as Yu Zhu Gallery @ Fortune Center. As mentioned above, the Yu Zhu Gallery made me very happy even when I left empty-handed. This was likely because nobody goes in to "dump" negative energies into the shop.

At Secret Crystals on Tues (first time we were there), there was an older woman customer who was very grumpy. Bro said she was exactly like Eeyore. I began to listen to the way she was complaining & started laughing quietly to bro. It seemed everything weighed very heavily on her. Like there's a heavy, moody cloud over her. Grumpy about everything. She said she lost the crystal she had purchased previously & "I was so upset".  Asked whether this repurchase, she should glue it down. It was the way she grumbled that was funny. Bro said I was unsympathetic.

Today when we were there, a woman was complaining about her neighbour. The neighbour was making their lives hell & making her mother ill ("almost passed away").  The shop owner prescribed some advice with mirrors & more smudging. Open the windows & turn on the fan. It sounded like more of physically irritating the neighbour rather than anything paranormal.

Bro felt uncomfortable being in the shop as the woman wouldn't leave. I admit I was also distracted & prefer that she hadn't been there. In fact, I considered walking out without buying anything because I was concerned her negative energy might transfer to my purchases. Due to the distraction, I was pretty sure the shop owner wouldn't be giving us a discount. True enough, she didn't.

When we left, I began to realize why at the beginning, the first time, I had felt less happy at her shop (despite her friendly attitude) than at Yu Zhu Gallery. Because all these people keep coming in to "dump" their negative emotions & energy onto her & the shop.

We still purchased a few items. Only the bare minimum that we needed. I really liked the Peridot chips that I didn't get on Tues & bought 2 small packets $6 each. Bro needed more Black Tourmaline: 1 last small packet of chips left $5 + 2 blocks for $15. Total $32. Expensive.

I actually intended to get a longer stick of Selenite. But when I looked again in the shop, didn't see any I liked. I bought the best already on Tues (the short stick). 

I put back one small blue rock with white streaks that I was holding. Not sure what's it called. I prefer saving the money for better finds at the 3rd crystal shop that I looked up.

Frankly, do the crystals really work? I don't see them doing anything. If not worse, then everything is the same.  I don't mind giving all my crystals to bro. He's the one who says it works.

I don't see any difference. I look at the crystals on top of my desktop computer & I think, "Why I buy these for?". Not that it improves relationship with my bro. Same.  Either that, or I have the suspicion these crystals might be doing the reverse--making it worse. Who knows.

I finally have a deep purple amethyst crystal geode structure that I've always wanted because it's said to drive away evil (or what was it again?). But it's only a small segment of a geode structure for $19.90.  Does it do anything? I rinsed it with distilled water this morning. And gave it some mild sunlight for just a few minutes.  And I'm looking at it now.  And it looks just like what it looks.

To be honest, I can ask this question: What is so special about these rocks that are being sold so expensively?

I tell you I am a sad person. My heart contains a sadness that I bury in order to function properly. And these crystals aren't helping me.  Only 1 place helps me. Japan. But I have no money to fly there.

Only just now (12:39am), I read from 1 website (below quote):  I put in bold "multiple pieces". This is because it matches with my feeling as mentioned above. I said that one short piece is fine but the whole box gives off a "power".  As mentioned, I did not know anything about Selenite when I saw it for the first time in the shop, except that it's used to cleanse aura.  It means, what I was feeling in the shop is true.

Selenite complements all other crystals and instills deep peace and tranquility. This is also one case where bigger is better. I always recommend acquiring the largest piece one's budget can accommodate and multiple pieces. Wherever Selenite is placed, it counteracts any negative vibration and protects against any negative influence.

It's amazing. We spent a total of $72.90 (2 trips) at Secret Crystals. That's too much for so few items. Bro said since the shop always has these customers who "dump" their negative problems there, we won't be going back. We have enough items as it is & it's too costly.

We are just buying what we need to test. Not collectors.

Update: 10:28pm Sat 3 Dec: The 3rd shop is Harmony Gem Crystals. With Secret Crystals & Harmony Gems, we have overspent. These rocks are just too expensive. Beautiful but expensive. Also, these shop owners are rich. Look at their opening hours. Clearly, they don't need  the money. I asked bro, "Is it the crystals that made them rich or they were rich & it so happened they like crystals?". 

Is there a difference between Organic & Non-Organic Food?

Of course. Organic is stronger & better. Do your own experiments.

Some websites insist there is no difference in nutritional value between organic & non-organic. How can there be no difference?

Let's look at just 1 thing: Non-organic food are zapped (irradiated), so they won't grow during transport & purchase. Organic food are not zapped so you will see garlic, potatoes, onions sprouting after a few days sitting around.

You can keep non-organic potatoes for weeks & months without seeing any growth. Same with garlic. Non-organic apples don't rot in the fridge for weeks.

What this means is that when "zapped", these food will lose some of their chemical potency & nutritional value due to destruction or damage to their chemical or molecular structures.

Previously, I sprinkled finely chopped 1 large non-organic garlic clove into my aquarium. 1 large female guppy was infested with white spots. It worked as a cure but not completely & slow. Even after the next day, the fish still had plenty of white spots attached.

Yesterday, I saw either the same guppy or another large female again infested with white spots. Sprinkled 1 small organic clove of garlic, finely chopped into the tank. Today (next morning), the fish is cleared of the white spots & only just a tiny spot or two can still be seen on the fin.  The fish is swimming well & normal.

The other fishes do not have white spots. The garlic has not affected them physically but their immune systems should have been boosted with the garlic chemicals in the water. Very potent garlic. Just 1 small clove.

Both times (non-organic & organic), the smell of garlic could be detected above the aquarium water. I have not changed the water.  [Note: water must be changed next day. Infection is due to dirty water. Change 3/4 amount of water in the tank & make sure the new water is treated with anti-chlorine chemical that you can buy from a pet shop. My tank is 2ft or 60cm.].

Why did I think of sprinkling garlic into the tank? Garlic has natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, antibiotic properties. If it works for humans, it should work for fish.

White spots is a protozoan parasite (unicellular organism).

I thought the white spots was a fungus. So, I applied garlic. However, the garlic worked well, even against this protozoan parasite. Potent garlic indeed.

Is Ezbuy A Sinking Ship? Ezbuy Deletes Negative Facebook Comments

Ezbuy deletes their Facebook negative comments in chunks. 

Update 24 Dec Sat: 1 or 2 days ago... It seems still cannot withdraw from Ezbuy a/c even after the 11.11 mess. Could be a permanent thing. In the past when they were 65daigou, withdrawal to bank account took only 1-2 days. Fast.

Be careful how much you put into Ezbuy. Withdrawal back into your bank a/c will be a problem.

Note that the below comments have been deleted by Ezbuy Facebook staff.

Update 11:25am 20 Dec Tues: Amazing. The comments for their first post has risen to 72 but there are only 5 comments there (that are not negative). It means 67 negative comments have been deleted. 

Update 4:51pm 19 Dec Mon: 3 negative comments but I'm showing one here. The comments count has risen to 58, but you'll still only see 2 comments after the Facebook admin deletes everything negative.

Update 4:29pm 17 Dec Sat:  Here's another one.  Odd that people have been complaining that their Economy Air has been faster than Express since 11.11.  And people pay more for Express.

Update 12:59am 17 Dec Sat:   I can confirm that Ezbuy is working round the clock. Deleting negative comments in their Facebook.  Even past midnight, the admin still can delete so fast.

There are 41 comments for their latest posting in Facebook. But when you click, only 2 comments there. Means 39 negative comments deleted. I managed to screen-capture the below before they were deleted.

Actually, many of the complaints have been about customized orders & home delivery.

It's common sense that you can't rely on anybody for "customization" especially from China.  Even if you get the items, it's not going to be the correct measurements or design or whatever.  Customers complicate matters for themselves a lot. 

When buying through Ezbuy, just buy items under 25kg to pick up at their branch offices (warehouse). Anything above 25kg, pick up from their warehouse @ Tai Seng.  Don't need home delivery. Even Speedpost & Singpost are shit these days.

Note that Ezbuy is very strict with weight limit. Anything above 25kg, even past a decimal point, will count as above 25kg & you'll need to go to Tai Seng.

I stopped buying things online that deliver by Speedpost. And I'm not the only one. Customers are lucky Ezbuy has so many collection offices/warehouses.

Ever since I experienced shitty China guy attitude (65daigou at that time) some years ago (he disappeared earlier than the appointed time & I didn't get my stuff), I never used their MRT delivery pick-up points anymore.

True enough, recent complaints have still been about MRT/neighborhood pick-ups. Their delivery guys not delivering (parcel not with them, or bring 1 but missing another etc...). 

Update 11:25am 14 Dec Wed:  So far, 12.12, I don't know if Ezbuy has any problems for China & US orders. They already forestalled complaints with a disclaimer in the ordering section that says there'll be delay of 3-5 days order placement & ETA.

Ezbuy Facebook is still deleting comments very, very quickly & I've been unable to capture any complaints except for 1 this early morning. Definitely, Ezbuy is still removing negative feedback because the number of comments increases but nothing appears when click to read.

The below screen-capture has been deleted by Ezbuy admin.

I don't know why people always say Ezbuy don't reply to enquiries. Ezbuy does. For e-mail & "My Enquiry" in your Ezbuy a/c, it takes 3 days for a reply.  But their Live chat is fine. Just that you have to wait in line for some minutes. I use laptop. For impatient people, they will say there is no response because they left before Ezbuy can get to them in the queue.

Sometimes, the system says there are 61 people in the queue, but they can get to you in about 15 mins. So these impatient people may just leave when they see the number "61".

As for phone... Ezbuy has some explaining to do. I haven't tried using the phone since I always click on the easiest available option which is their chat button. Incidentally, they have changed their chat button to something rounder & more visible.

Update: 12:02am 6 Dec: Ezbuy does not want buyers to complain in Ezbuy Facebook. The deletions of comments/complaints mean that Ezbuy wants buyers to go through the Ezbuy channels without caring that it is because buyers have trouble getting help through these channels that they have no choice but to spill over to the Ezbuy Facebook.

Ezbuy is exhibiting typical China behavior. Very unreasonable. Communist.

A few days ago, Ezbuy started deleting negative comments about buyers' orders in Facebook. Previously, the admin kept those comments & replied to them. But now, chunks of negative comments have been deleted very quickly. The admin don't even bother replying to problem orders.

I visit the Ezbuy Facebook to see if there are any more buyers' problems & screen-capture quickly.  Within the next few minutes or hours, those comments will be deleted. The Ezbuy admin is very hardworking in this way.

The number  of comments increases (in the guitar post) but when you click to read, there are no new comments.  For instance, now it's 213 comments for their guitar upload post. But when you click to read, you'll only see the last buyer's comment posted on Dec 4. There were many other posts after this, all negative but have been deleted.

Even at  235 comments, the last comment is still Dec 4. Those problem orders posted after this, are deleted. Only that imbecile asking about free 2017 calendar is not deleted.

------------

Reading Facebook complaints, can't help but think that Ezbuy may be a sinking ship. Just like Hanjin.

During normal time, Ezbuy already cannot handle orders. Occasional mess-up. Sale time completely fall apart. What you imagine can go wrong, will go wrong.  Ever since they started the Prime thing, it's even worse.

Now, it's not just Prime orders affected. Even Buy-for-me is affected. Mainly China orders. But I would say USA ordering is also not perfect.

More than 2 weeks after 11.11 (China Singles Sale), their warehouse still stuck with items. Even lose customers' items. Quite amazing. Previously, they even showed photos of how organized their warehouse shelving was, compared to other agents. Now, they are showing photos of everything in a mess & 6 to 7 young guys sleeping on the floor among all the stuff, expecting customers to be understanding & to sympathise.

They are the company. How are customers supposed to sympathise? As buyers, we give you our money to do the job right. Not to show photos that you are incompetent by using young, inexperienced guys who are too tired to handle anymore in the warehouse.

You show us photos of the mess, the pile up of parcels as a reason for why you can't find customers' items & even lose the items. What is the purpose?

I made the mistake of leaving more than my usual amount of money in my Prepay (Available balance). Now I can't withdraw & I can't spend it with Ezbuy. I can only keep checking that the remainder amount is the same numbers every day.

Can't withdraw because according to customers who tried, the money doesn't return to their bank accounts even after 13 days.  Previously, before they were Ezbuy, withdrawing money into bank account took only 1 or 2 days, very fast.

Can't spend anymore on Taobao orders because Ezbuy's China warehouse stuck. For USA Black Friday orders, I dare not even order.  One customer complained that Ezbuy still didn't order her items even after 2 days. Another one also complained her Amazon order still not ordered, asked Ezbuy to do it before discount over.

So, what am I supposed to do? What is Ezbuy doing? Sinking?

Someone also mentioned that Ezbuy Facebook admin only replies to questions about promotions & "how-to-use" while skipping over complaints. I noticed that the admin takes more than 1 day to reply to Facebook questions, as if scared to come out. And it's true the admin will pretend didn't see some customers' order problems.

Even 2 China buyers on Ezbuy Facebook have problems with their orders. One of them questioned whether the company is having problems.

Ezbuy Facebook admin also deleted 2 customers' order problems, together with replies. Cleaned it up.

The Facebook admin deletes comments but does not reply to order problems that need help. He/she chooses which ones to reply to.

The absurdity of Ezbuy:

30 Nov Wed 3:22 pm. I wanted to ask them about my item stuck in warehouse. Been 6 days & still "pending inspection & repack". 2 days ago, chat staff "Ice" said will expedite but still the same.

Look at the number of customers waiting to be attended to. First time I see: 61!  In one Facebook complaint, one customer said 100 customers needed to be served. I thought the person was exaggerating. I think it's true.

Yesterday below: One of the funniest thing I ever heard coming from Ezbuy.  Ezbuy has gone completely nuts.

Funny #2:  Go China & look for it yourself.

Fri 2 Dec: Ezbuy recently posted an odd video in their Facebook of two staff singing with guitar. And said they are doing their best 24/7 to clear & fix orders & find missing parcels. That's the China mentality. Crazy. Unprofessional. What the heck are they showing a video of singing? I didn't bother to click.

Luckily, I copied (saved) the above buyers' comments here. The Ezbuy admin deleted them, especially the link to Hardwarezone. 

Update 1:45pm 4 Dec Sun: Even after so long, there are still complaints, although the numbers seem to have somewhat reduced. Many comments have used the Chinese phrase "Don't have such a big head, then don't wear such a big hat".  The below comments were deleted from their Facebook as of 4:15pm.

6 Dec Mon 12:04am:  The below comments have all been deleted from Ezbuy Facebook.  Ezbuy don't realize that anyone would bother to screen-capture. I go to the Ezbuy Facebook to see the flow of what's happening.

Deleting negative comments is understandable to clean up their image, but previously, they did not delete. The order problems weren't even replied to, & the whole chunk of comments were just deleted. The admin is clearly online but not replying to problem orders anymore.

The only reply is to a question regarding future sales events because it means money coming in.  Didn't even reply to someone's question about whether laptop can be shipped to SG. Either admin didn't see or just can't be bothered to reply.

More deletions from Ezbuy Facebook:

Today's new comments by buyers on Ezbuy Facebook: 12:42pm 6 Dec Tues.

Update Wed 7 Dec: 

 This below comment was deleted in just 2 to 3 minutes:

Update Sun 11 Dec: Managed to catch this at about 2am or so. It's deleted in the Ezbuy Facebook. I agree. Ever since they started Prime, too many people & Ezbuy can't cope. But I disagree with service being good. Even without Prime, service was never really good.

Paranormal Points of Negative Presence in the House?

I got 2-5 of the list (except the first & last point).

For #1, this occurs outside my apartment, near my neighbour's apartment. But we always think that it's because she's ill & can't upkeep.  Not always. Sometimes, there's a strange smell. Bro noticed it first.

#2: My house has always had an oppressive feeling but that's because of my mom's strict discipline since we were kids. Oppressive feeling these days came from my bro's bedroom. For some while, I naturally avoided going into his room without realizing it. I just felt unable to step in further than at the door. In the past, I would easily enter & splat on his bed. Not anymore.

These days, bro mentioned being watched from behind while he's at the desktop in the master bedroom. Watched from outside at the balcony doors even though he can't see it from where he's sitting. He says he would turn in his chair to look there.

#3: I experienced this a few days ago. Murderous thoughts for no reason. I had to drink a herbal tea to stop it. Feelings of being trapped, drowning in desperation, frustration. Helplessness. Feeling of going crazy. Violent feelings & imagery.  Happened for 2 nights. I thought it was because my writing was putting pressure on me.

#4: Bad dreams quite often. No happy dreams. Every morning, I wake feeling soggy & not refreshed. I always blamed my late sleeping (wee hours of the morning). However, in Japan when I was dead tired & slept same lateness & woke early, I always felt refreshed in the morning. Never in Singapore, not in my own home & not in any hotel room.

Noises, no. Movement of objects, no. Smells, no. Just soggy, not refreshed sleep.

#5: The house always feel heavy somehow. A bit uncomfortable but gotten used to it. I always thought it's because it's a mess & I didn't tidy up. But recently I cleared up the front of the living room (threw away many things) & still the feeling is the same.

#6: So far, don't have. But I am not well physically & bro is mentally bugged. This is even though we eat moderately & don't drink alcohol or smoke. There is no particular reason for health problems to be happening. I have a tumor that behaves strangely. Bro has what he calls "brain fog" that changes every day. This happened recently in the past few years.

Salon Hair Needs Difference Women vs Men?

I'm looking for salon again... Saw this while looking at Beauty Undercover website: Click to enlarge.

Was thinking... No wonder hairstyists always talk to me. Although I'm female, it seems I've a more manly mind than other women.

1) I don't like hairstylists talking to me. Prefer silent. Just do your job & you better do it well. Otherwise, I'll kill you. Talking distracts the hairstylist. The mind cannot give equal attention to both things at the same time. I want to see excellent performance not chitchat. Why would I "confide" anything to a stranger who cuts my hair only once a month or once every two months?

2) I returned to a hair salon because of the head massage & shampooing that I missed after so long since I was first upset & didn't return. When I said I visited for the hair massage, the new hairstylist said, "What about the haircut? I'll make sure the haircut is as good.".

While the haircut is important, a good hair shampoo massage is equally so.

3) I just want a fabulous haircut. No need dye, no need rebond perm whatever. You can't make money off of me using such tactics. Too many salons can only do color. Their "stylists" cannot do haircuts because haircutting is a skill that's acquired through experience & exposure.  Their stylists are typically young punks.

After so many tries of salons, I have not come across one that has hairstylists who are good at haircuts. Haircutting is the most basic thing in a salon & yet they cannot do. And dare to charge so much.
