How to Disable Ads in Kindle Outside of US (No Hacks)

Thought I would share my experience to all. 

Recently, I bought a new Kindle Paperwhite Ads version, YAY!


If I didn't understand wrongly, the ads only works in the US and since I'm staying in Singapore, there is really no point for the ads right. Even if it's non-intrusive while reading but still >.< I just hate the sight of it appearing on the screensaver.

Below are the steps to get your ads version of the Kindle to be ADS FREE! 


Less than 5 mins of your time, easy peasy!

1. Login to your Amazon account and make sure your Kindle is registered to your account.

2. Go to the Contact Us page in Amazon.



3. For section 3, click the CHAT option and a popup live chat will appear.


4.  See my chat history for details!


Super duper elated that my Kindle is now officially ADS FREE! And best of all, no hacks are needed!



Feel free to comment and share if you have any other methods to do so! :)

Sweet Monster Popcorn



Chanced upon this promo poster and the 1st thing that flashed across my mind was, I gotta try it!!! HOW COULD YOU RESIST IT RIGHT? 

This sweet monster popcorn is from Korea, the shop itself (Bugis outlet) was blasting Korean songs and the staff thanked the customers in Korean too.

While my friend and I were proceeding to take a seat, the manager (I suppose), he was really friendly and gestured us to the counter and explain to us how to place the order patiently.


There are 5 different flavours of the popcorns, technically 4 I would say because 1 of them is sort of a repeat. The flavours are caramel, choco, caramel/cheese mix, strawberry and milk. 


After some pondering, we finally decided on the two flavours - Caramel/Cheese mix and Choco. 

Verdict: I really love the cheese flavour! Tasted like nachos :D The choco and caramel tasted alright in comparison. I do wished that they have the flavour of cheese ALONE, instead of just mixing it with caramel and TA-DUH, another flavour. :[

The soft serve is average, nothing too fancy. The price is $6.80/cup, but since it's currently 1 for 1, we got it at $6.80 for 2! Super worth it I would say. ^_^ 

It's my first time eating popcorn and ice-cream combo, would say that it's an interesting concept. But I must say that, it it definitely not the best, in terms of ice-cream or popcorn alone. :] Nevertheless, you should go ahead and try it once! I didn't regret though as the portion was rather generous and I might eat it again if there is still the 1 for 1 promo :P

New Year, New Bounce!

First of all, 

I would like to wish everyone..

A new year, a new beginning, let's make 2016 even more awesome than the last! :)

Since it's the new year, I promised myself that I would try out the new workout class that True Fitness has to offer. I got really excited when I saw mountains of trampolines stacked up against one another late last year. However, the trampoline class would only commence come 2016.

To be honest, I'm not a fit person, I thought of backing out when I saw the YouTube (seen below).


Looks fun but hell exhausting! 

The program is called "U-Bound" and I timidly booked my virgin tryout to the class on a Sunday.


My face after the class 
I probably looked like that, was really tiring but enjoyable at the same time. 
It is really a very cardio kind of class, and jumping 1 hour non-stop on the trampoline is no easy feat.
Good thing is, I didn't feel the soreness/strain in my knees as I usually would have when I did step classes. Seems like this is really no impact to the knees :) 

Interesting thing is, the guest trainer is from Taiwan and he spoke a mixture of English and Mandarin. I got just a little confused with the directions 左右. Other than that, all is good and he's really entertaining! For the first two tracks, I was literally panting like a mad dog, wondering when the 'torture' will end. However, after a while, I didn't even realise that I was actually having fun until he announced that was the last track. Hehe, enjoyed myself too much and kinda don't want it to end. I guess I did good for a first timer and survived! ^_^

Would definitely go again, but sad thing is, I would have to forsake my only yoga day for this as it clashes :( OH WHY WHY WHY...

I'm pretty shy, but I'm glad that I've met really awesome peeps at the gym, motivating me to go for classes when I just wanna laze around at home :x

Ending this post with a U-bound group shot with the Guest Trainer! :)
