Relationshit - Caution! May Contain Love

Relationships aren't always a bed of roses. As the romance flickers, sometimes you may suffer the burnt of a fiery passion.

Fortunately, I have yet to suffer a real heartbreak. But I have seen my friends around me who have experienced such pain and anguish. And honestly, I am at a loss of what to do. In the market, we have a lot of gift ideas for celebratory occasions. And it comes to misfortune, there is just a lack of alternatives.

Introducing Molala, a fun brand born from "black humour in pink". Molala is a gift store that is dedicated to bad days. Yup, that's no slip of the fingers. It is a gift store to tide you and your friends through the bummer days. The gifts available are very intriguing and hold some element of surprise. But I do have to caution that they are only suitable for friends who can take some tongue-in-cheek humour. Definitely not for the prudes.

Here are some of the many gift baskets they hold in the breakup collection (From top left clockwise):

Sister Before Misters Kit: $69.99
Easy Come Easy Go Kit: $39.99
Good Girl Gone Bad Kit: $99.99
Better Than Sex Kit: $199.99

To give it a more personal touch, you also have the option of customising your gift baskets :)

From top left clockwise:

Revenge Voodoo Doll: $19.95
Sunshine Tissue-Cigarette Box: $7.95
Heartless Cork Coaster: $7.50
Silver Fortune Cookie Box: $19.95
"Burn Your Past" Eco-Soy Candle: $16.95
Paycation Collection Postcards: $17.00
Lucky Penny: $15.00
"For Big Mistakes" Eraser: $7.95

I was sent the "Easy Come Easy Go" kit by the lovely Vene and Judith. The delivery took about 3 days and everything arrived in good shape apart from the chocolates. It was slightly melted. But of that is expected. Mine didn't come with a basket so I took the liberty to re-arrange it for a photo shoot :)

These are how the postcards looked and the back is just a nice blank for you to scribble some love notes and seal it with a kiss. I really love the 'Caution May Contain Love'. The irony just made me chuckle. Hur-hur-hur. My knight in shining armor turns up to be an idiot in tin foil...and the white charger he is on is merely just a mule...LOL I came up with the second half of it.

And of course it came with the Sexy Firefighters Eye Mask. Close your eyes to dream of hot packs and abs...hmm yummy...hehehe...The chocs were really "scrumalicious" and dangerously sinful, from Lindt :) Singapore is really warm so it came melted and a little out of shape. I think if you are staying overseas, you should avoid including food in the gift basket. Either  that, you could always buy a bar to replace it yourself. 

The favourite product of  Vene and Judith is the tasty Perfect-Ending Brownie. I am not too sure whether it can be delivered in one piece. My take on the favourite product is the "Ring for a Cuddle" desk bell. It can be used even after the break-up. Ring for a cuddle from your new love...hugggs :) 

And check out their gorgeous packaging, I did a re-arrangement. Maybe you guys can do that too to display the gifts to your loved ones? Do you think Vene and Judith may hire me for my "open-packaging"? Added some hand-folded stars for a dreamy feel. 

Hope you like my review on Molala. Now you know where and how to mend a heartbreak?

♥ ~I LOVE BEING A BLOGGER! ~♥

As opposed to many veterans out there, I am not a seasoned blogger. The hype on blogging came around when I was in my mid-teens but I never did really caught on the craze, partially cos I did not have a personal laptop.

I only first started blogging during my uni days. I had a course on e-commerce. And I had not not slightest idea about html, social media what-not. So in order not to screw up, I started my own blog. What was a better way to learn about something by trying it out yourself right?

I think, therefore I Blog...Plus I guess I was a little bored

Every time I meet another blogger or media executive, the question "why you blog?" always pop out. Many assume is for the free stuff and event invites. Yes, the frivolous aspect is somewhat tempting, but blogging is honestly tough work and the freebies don't make it worth the value as you progress along in life.

I blog because I love writing! :D I want to continue penning down lovely ideas and sell dreams and interesting products to people. Copywriting is like my part-time job. Coming out with a beautiful phrase to sum up an entire paragraph words, this challenges my language skills. And because of the need to churn out content to entertain my readers on a weekly basis, I have a lot of practice for my writing. And I am glad that perhaps because of my numerous posts, many have commented on my fine writing ability. :)

I love writing and I want to create words, to connect thoughts, to share my opinions and to connect to those who care

The thing is I like writing. So blogging isn't really that difficult for me. It is just another different platform. And it allowed to share my views and influence people all around the world.

And I am happy when my writings are appreciated and being shared by many. A writer yourself, I think you should start blogging too. Because it is the fastest way to get your words noticed. Power of the words no longer lie in just a pen, it is with the flying fingers across the keyboard.

Because I realize a picture speaks a thousand words, and a personalized picture speak a million thoughts

I wasn't really good at taking photographs but through blogging I have learned how to angle (not very at it, but I am always learning)! It brought out the arty side in me (In this posts, you will see never been seen photos that I was using for my other blog when I was still studying.)

From zero to something, blogging has taught me to overcome difficulties in life. I spent a good amount of time in the quest of perfecting the art of photography (kidding more like figuring out the fundamentals) when I was overseas fiddling with my lousy camera and toying with paint and powerpoint. Yup, be prepared to be impressed. All this drawings, sketches and pictures are hand-drawn via paint or powerpoint. :) I didn't even know I could draw before this.

I want to celebrate each moment and live my life with countless different experience

No doubt, I am an experimentalist. I started off blogging about my everyday life, particularly documenting about my travels in Oslo which got me shortlisted for a book award. Yipee! And then opportunities to review movies came. I am a huge movie buff then, so blogging really did entice me when I was a student because of the money I could save as a student watching previews with my friends.

And...when I was a little kid, I wanted to be a movie reviewer (sheepish look) cos I can have free movies to watch. LOL! And I thought if I started as a blogger reviewer, maybe...one day I might be those Straits Times reviewer!

Guess I started adoring reviewing from then. And I started ForFunk, to study "Funkiology" on the hunt and study of Funk! Plus reviewing blogs overseas seems to be all Mama Bloggers who probably has more free time on their hands. From the market studies point of view, there was a gap for young dainty little reviewers which I humbly think I fit the bill :P

A path never to regret or forget

And after I enter the workforce, I found out that blogging taught me something - and that was to be able to more efficiently break the ice with strangers. Also, I can better pitch my sales across to people. All those events meeting up with people I don't know and seeing marketers had let me take away precious communication skills and hone my craft in articulation. :)

Also, there are always blogging competition for you to showcase your creativity and flair for marketing, bringing out your competitive spirit. So for those out there who are thinking about becoming a blogger, I say go for it. You don't have to do it for fame or popularity. You could do it to improve yourself, presenting the best of yourself to the world.

Toy Story: The City of Kre-O

If you have been following my blog long enough, you would have known by now I am crazy about Building Bricks and Nerf Guns as well as cute cuddly plushies.

I have never tried other building bricks apart from Lego. But haha, my caption won! (Am I funnily creative or what?!?) And I got myself a set of Kre-O Cityville Haunted Hideaway to test out.

I actually tried it out on the 2nd day of CNY when my BF popped over to my house *gasp* for the first time. Haha! I was quite worried there was nothing much to entertain him since we didn't have cable TV or anything so I smartly opened my box. He have never played with toy bricks before. 0.o Gosh what sort of childhood it is! So I thought "Hey, let's just share with him and not save it for my offsprings!" LOL!

It also explains why there is not a lot of photos cos he always think I am weird when I attempt to document every moment of my life down using my trusty camera phone. Geez

Generally, I would say there is not much difference between Lego and Kre-O. I personally felt Kre-O was a little more challenging maybe cos I wasn't as used to it. They have more odd sizes brick, meaning more realistic modeling at the same time the structure is a bit less stable in my opinion. Still, I find it is good fun. My BF had a great time (I heart-ed out his face as usual but he is beaming behind those hearts...cute) And he has successfully built a miniature car with the help of the instructions manual. 

For couples, I think it is quite fun actually and builds teamwork. We were like separating the bricks and splitting up the task (and at the same time competing who was the smarter of the 2 as we built the landmarks). We took around 2 hours with food break in between. Healthy couple activities *Thumbs Up*

And Tada~~~ the product of our labour and love :) It is really quite nice and I would love to put it up on display. Actually, I feel like investing in such display sets. But I don't have much space at home to showcase them. My bro was like saying to dismantle it so that you can re-play them, value for money.

But I don't know I am not comfortable with destroying my hard work *sobs* Now we know how Hashbro etc earns money from people like me. We just keep buying don't we? I know there are a lot of cool toys out there lately. I will try to review them. But my Mum is not very supportive of me spending my money on them. So if there are any toy sponsors who want to collaborate on such review, do hit me up! :)
