Not sure if I'm getting old, but grocery shopping's getting enjoyable

Not sure if I'm getting old, but grocery shopping's getting enjoyable

I've recently noticed that late-night grocery shopping has become an activity that I enjoy from time to time. It kind of started when friends suggested to meet at the carpark of Tampines Giant Hypermarket for a chatting session (I know, car guys are weird) - I figured that since I was there, I might as well just pop in and buy some stuff for breakfast (Giant has some of the most affordable and tasty Croissants).

Gradually, I realised that it is quite enjoyable to grocery shop late at night. Yes, there's only one counter open, but the supermarket would typically be rather empty. There's no need to squeeze with people in the narrow aisles to find the item you want, and it's much quieter, allowing you to shop in peace.

And it's an activity that does many things for me at the same time - I get to scratch that shopaholic itch by buying things that will be used at home, and sometimes I would even stumble upon some incredible deals such as $5 for a dozen cans of Pepsi!

I don't know why, but it seems like I'm at the point in life where grocery shopping is kinda fun 😂

    5 ways the Polestar 2 Core Edition proves less can be more

    With a less-is-more approach, the Polestar 2 Core Edition offers a more value-for-money entry into the Swedish brand.  What first comes to mind when you think of Sweden? IKEA, and probably ABBA. But there's plenty more that has come out of Sweden besides flat-pack furniture, meatballs and impossibly-catchy pop songs. Founded as a standalone brand just eight years ago and headquartered in Torslanda, Sweden, Polestar is a design-forward electric performance brand that wants to put its Sc

    Musings about the Pomodoro Method

    In a hyper-connected mega-city, where time seems to tick at a relentlessly brisk pace and where distractions are aplenty, pondering the art of productivity and focus is inevitable. In fact, it’s almost become a necessity. No wonder so many listicles have been written to point us in the right directions. Different methods works for different folks, of course, and when I was in my final year of university, I was introduced to a method that I regularly return to still: The Pomodoro Method, a d
