Vampire Power

Adapted from the Public Service Publication, Challenge, as well:

"Vampire Power" refers to electricity consumed by appliances that are plugged in, but switched off. Some devices keep trying to recharge themselves despite being fully charged - a major culprit is that cordless phone. These four tips can reduce energy wastage:

- Unplug devices when not in use.
- Use the on/off switch on the power outlet, not just the device.
- Unplug mobile phone/laptop chargers when not in use. Invest in "smart" power strips that automatically turn off when devices have finished charging.
- Invest in Energy Star qualified devices when buying new electronics"

Now that you know more about saving electricity, the environment and the limited resources that we have, do remember to unplug your iPhones and laptops when they have finished charging. Help your pockets and help save gaia! :)

Eco-Friendly Fonts

Don't you agree that the printer, its toner and ink cartridge are expensive? All the more we should put in effort to save ink.

According to the Public Service Publication, Challenge, "Century Gothic is actually the most "economical" font when it comes to saving ink, followed by Times New Roman. Garamond saves ink, too.

Ecofont is a new software add-on that saves up to 25% of toner by perforating your typeface with tiny holes. You can still use whatever font you like - it'll just be a lot easier on your ink supplies"

Hei Sushi

HEY! it's Hei Sushi. 10% discount off ala-carte items exclusive for NTUC and Nebo Card Members! The others just dont get it :)

They are marketed as the first Halal Sushi Belt Restaurant so that even our Muslim friends can indulge themselves! Do click here for their ala-carte menu :)

We had our Salmon Sushi and California Handroll (unfortunately not the best handroll in town) each at $2.18. Our main course consists of Yakiniku & Hotate Mentaiyaki and Chicken Sukiyaki completed with a bottle of coke!

This is the Yakiniku & Hotate Mentaiyaki going at $13.88. It comes with Miso soup, Rice, some strips of Yakiniku Beef and 2 Hotate topped with Mentai. Their sauce differs from that of other Japanese Restaurants like Nihon Mura. This tastes more of Mayonaise than anything of the norm. But it doesn't taste bad, to each its own, right? :)


My Chicken Sukiyaki with special order - without leek! Cant really stand the taste of leek personally.. If you are a heavy eater, complete this with a bowl of rice. Otherwise, try finishing this yourself. You'd probably find it too much to handle. Veg-lovers only. For the soup is sweetened with cabbage, mushroom, carrots, tofu, chicken and an optional egg. It is a fun dish to have, considering the fact that you choose how and how well you want your egg to be done.


Ice/Hot water is free. Therefore the final bill of 1x Salmon Sushi, 1x California Handroll, 1x Yakiniku & Hotate Mentaiyaki, 1x Chicken Sukiyaki and 1x Coke sumed up to $33.99 with taxes included. Without the promotion of 10% discount off ala-carte items, the bill would cough up to an amount of $37.78. A savings of $3.79 (a discount of about 10.0%).

I had this on a happy weekend. Try yours now! :)
