I have been thinking about this for a while, and I thought, well, just do it! So what is it exactly! Here it goes…. I am going to put myself on a clothing shopping ban for 2017. So what was the impetus behind this? Well, many of you have read how Dave and I tried…
Where are my glasses? Where are my slippers? Where are my clothes? These are some of the common day to day questions Kate used to ask me in the past before we started on this journey to minimalism. Subconsciously, I would reply to her, “Do you remember where you last seen it?” or “Please do…
When we moved over to our new place, we didn’t really get much kitchen utensils. Granted that we did go to the value store to get some cups and utensils during the first few days we moved in, for the rest of the items, including the cookware, plates and dishes, they were gifted by my…
In a previous post, I mentioned that Dave and I had differing opinions whether we should get a Christmas tree. In the end, I decided to make one. Well, I am proud to present our DIY Christmas tree. It’s simple, cheap, easy to maintain, and easy to dismantle as well. Best of all, we made…

There were however,…
With Christmas not too far away (well in 1.5 months time), I toyed with the idea of getting a Christmas tree. In fact, I had already selected the model and tree I want (the great thing about the internet, you can find whatever you want) and even sent the picture to Dave. The tree was…
I have been shopping online for the longest since. Amazon, ebay, taobao, gmarket, Redmart, you name it. I have shopped on both international sites as well as local sites.
