MASSIVE INTERNET PURGE



MASSIVE INTERNET PURGE, and bring back the old internet!
I believe there is an instant need for an internet purge that deletes all the duplicated, unnecessary, spammy content.
The massive redundancy of the internet is reducing efficiency for people who are looking for information. Only the sites with true content should be left and those spammy websites that merely copy and paste information should be deleted from the search result.

The muji Product Fitness 80 Page

I was browsing the Muji website this morning and realize they have this Muji Product Fitness 80 Page that I have never seen before.
http://www.muji.net/lab/fitness80/en/
It turns out Muji has implemented ways to minimize their design to promote sustainability and reduces wastes. I like the idea so much. Reducing waste + Minimalistic = My Fav!

Twistable lightweight bottle design
It is not something new. The first time I have seen it is from the Bonaqua Water Bottle Design. This design encourages the users to reduce their impact on the environment and save recycling space by twisting and shrinking the bottle.
Speaking of this type of reducing material uses and encouraging recycling, it keeps me wonder if one day it would be possible to have people bringing their own sterilized/cleaned bottles to the stores and just purchase the liquid the sellers.
Downsized card
I am not particularly sold to this idea. Primarily because I am the kind of person who does not like to have cards at all. Plus it can get quite clumsy when the cards are not in a uniform size and you will have to search through the pocket to hunt down the card. It would only work if most cards issuers begin to downsized together and then the wallet designers customized for the change accordingly. It would be even greater if one day, all the different card details can be encrypted into a single card (although that probably embarks a lot of security issues...).

Shorter Cotton Bud 
This is just sweet. How come I never realize that most cotton Bud are unnecessarily long? Come to think about it, a lot of the tools that we used in our daily life also have extra dimensions that can be cut in order to save materials, for example: straws, usb cord (this might be a bit debatable. haha), towels, toothpicks, spoon, etc. Although it is quite counter-intuitive to think that, actually most manufacturers have already think about each dimensions accordingly before producing the final products, but I think it doesn't hurt to redesign and re-modified to suit the current situation.

Fewer ring binders
I seldom buy notebooks and I mostly just use recycled paper if I have too. I am not very fond of writing on papers but I think it is an absolute good ideas to reduces the number of ring binders, plus it's easier to pull of the sheets of paper !

Stuff I really like from MUJI!


I love MUJI stuff,
although in my opinion, it is a bit pricy. But consider that the stuff are made in Japan,
I would give it a go.
Let me show you some of the stuff I like from MUJI!

For example, this Acrylic desk rack is perfect for anyone who needs to use stationary for their daily life a lot.
This transparent rack is just perfect. They have some other smaller size if one doesn't need that many space.
Acrylic desk rack
But they are not very cheap (it really depends).
If you want to save money, you can just buy a piece of 4mm or 5mm acrylic, laser-cut it (or hand cut it), use chloroform to glue the partition deck and you can get a similar one.
Acrylic Magnetic Frame
Next, I LOVE these Acrylic magnetic frame. The smallest one is very cute. Actually, I ONLY Like the smallest one. I like the simple idea that the frame is only made up by two acrylic blocks with magnets embedded in each block. I think it is quite a decent gift for a friend if you also embed a picture in it!

 Bedlinen
The bedlinen from muji is more expensive than those from ikea and other places. However, the cotton they used are quite comfy and more importantly , (WHICH are not shown in the picture above), is that the bedlinen has rubber cord covering (not just the four corner of bed linen) all around the perimeter. Therefore the bed linen will stay put even if you have violent activity on your bed. It helps to keep your room tidy and neat! I also quite like the color scheme of MUJI (usually beige color )

Small bag organizer
This is not the type that I like , but since the other types are not avaible on their website, I will just use it for it. Basically I am digging their small bag organizer that has a lot of partitions! I like organizing stuff and put them in proper orders, therefore their bags are very suitable for me. Plus these kind of bags are really small and can be put inside a handbag/schoolbag/any bag. Occasionally they are on sale and I only buy one when it's cheaper.

Silicon Candy House Mold
I don't have an oven. But I find this quite adorable! You wouldn't expect something like this from a store that carry the word simplicity as its motto. It's not just the shape that appeals to me, the pockets that got boolean out are perfect for adding other sweet ingredients into it !

Tips to save money | For poor folks like me

I don't spend a lot.
Here are my few tips to help people save money.
I don't want to be a mom and a captain !

01) Only buy discounted items.
HELL YES, i only buy discounted items,
and YES I KNOW ALMOST 90% of the items are on discount,
I KNOW their tactics.
But hey, it's better than nothing!

02) EAT LESS!
Seriously you don't need to be full all the time! I know nutrition and diet are important,
but hey if food is expensive then just eat less ! Hunger makes you focus more!

03) Wear your clothes til they are torn apart.
Do you know how beautiful it is to let people see your worn off clothes and bags?
IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL EXPRESSION OF YOUR ATTITUDE TO LIFE.
Don't be afraid to have uber sophisticated people coming up to you and say , "OMG what are you wearin",
you just answer them "YOU JELLY?.

04) SAVE THE BILLS
FOR FORK'S SAKE, turn off your lights and whatever appliances that you do not need to use! Listen to you mom and be a good kid and put things away. Mom is always right!

05) STOP BROWSING THOSE ONLINE SHOPPING SITE / weird Programs
YOU DO NOT NEED MOST OF THE STUFF YOU ARE BROWSING! ONLINE SHOPPING IS AN ENDLESS BLACK HOLE.Just ask yourself the following questions when you check out and about to pay:
A) Do you really need to buy weightloss program or related stuff?
I hate to expose the inconvenient truth to you but
the ONE and ONLY weightloss formula that work is here
and I am telling you for free,
LOTS OF EXERCISE + DIET = WEIGHTLOSS
PERIOD.
B) Do you really really think you look good in that dress ?
NO YOU DON'T.
C) Do you really need it or else your life will sucks?
NO you don't. Your life only sucks if you spend unreasonably too much on meaningless stuff that Cost you TOO MUCH.

06) DON'T EAT OUT. ALWAYS BRING YOUR MEALBOX IF YOU CAN.
This is OBVIOUS but rather hard to follow, just try to stick to it.

Just remember one thing,
Losing is easier than earning!

AWESOME

This is awesome.
Bought a new printer,
couldn't print document via airprint from my phone,
confused and frustrated for a while
because my phone kept showing
"No airprint printer found",
Apparently my laptop can detect the wifi printer without a problem.
So there must be something wrong with the phone,
And finally I found a solution,
the ultimate solution to a lot of the electronics that I have used since young,
it's so powerful, and yet elegantly simple.
I just turned my phone off and on again.
"Restart " always works wonder.

My phone could detect the printer right afterwards. YES!
