People tend to have very different habits when it comes to the natural light. Some simply love to bathe their home’s entire interior in sunshine whereas others prefer blocking it out totally. Some like to have sunshine in particular areas of their homes like kitchen, but like their dining area or bedrooms are shaded. Whichever way you prefer your light, there are some great decorative window coverings you can apply to your home to meet your needs.

Without further ado, below are the 6 decorative ideas you can apply to your home:

Determine the purpose of your room

Precisely, if you have windows in your office room, you perhaps would like to hang roll-up sound and light blocking shades. This offers you with greater flexibility to open up the windows and let the light in while you are looking for some inspiration, but keep them tightly shut especially when you are immersed in work. This holds true for your bedroom as well, you can keep the shades shut while sleeping and can easily open up as morning arrives. Draperies can be used in this regard.

Check For Window’s Length and Shape

You need to make sure that the drapes or blinds Singapore you opt for fit suits the window’s shape. Having floor-length drapes look amazing on taller windows, but can actually dwarf the smaller ones.

Want to Make Windows Seem Taller?

If you are considering making your home windows seem taller, you can hang the curtain rod a couple of inches above the window. Furthermore, if you opt for floor-length drapes for your longer windows, then you need to make sure that they merely graze the floor. There is really nothing attractive about such curtains that pile up on the floor just as an old laundry.

You can have a cozy and dramatic window converging for a study room in your home.Be careful while you are selecting the patterns.

Window coverings or blinds Singapore that are too busy or bold can take away from the other décor all through the room. On the other hand, a simple print can simply bring your room to life. Ensure the pattern you opt for creates the perfect balance.

Do Some Mix and Match.

If you have a room with glass doors or floor-length windows and a standard sized window or two, it is completely okay to have different decorative coverings for your windows. For instance, you can have elegant drapes if you have larger windows along with simple Roman window shades for others.

There is no doubt that education is very important. Today, people value education as a means to be very competitive and skilled. Education is the great equalizer, as they say. If you have good and quality education, you have an advantage over others.

This is the reason why many institutions offer a variety of education mechanisms to cater to the ever growing population. Nowadays, we have remote education which include home schooling and online education. This mode is different from traditional schooling which entails going to an educational institution on regular scheduled basis. Aside from this, emerging modes such as one-to-one tuition and tuition centres are growing to be popular in Singapore. Let us explore these new and emerging education trends in Singapore.

In its basic definition, tuition centre is a special term for private educational institutions which provide remote learning. These tuition centres are especially abundant and popular in different countries such as Malaysia, India, the Middle East and Singapore. Their focus is primarily remote learning. What’s special about tuition centres is that they give private tutorials to individuals. Notwithstanding, there is a huge, and still growing trend, among local parents who send their kids to tuition. Given the immense academic competition attributed to foreign scholars and the proliferating private-tuition trend some parents feel that they have little choice but to engage tuition centers or opt for home tuition.

Tuition centres are abundant in Singapore. Most people are busy because of work. There is a tendency that they will not have time to monitor their kids’ education. Most of these institutions are O level tuition centres in Singapore. Meaning, they have high standards in terms of academic performance. 

On the other hand, one to one tuition is where an individual pupil is removed from their class and given intensive tuition or focused tutorial. It may also be undertaken outside of normal lessons, for example as part of after school programmes or summer schools. One to one tuition does not necessarily mean you are away from your natural form of education. They can go hand in hand.

One to one tuition offers short and regular sessions. Usually ranging to 30 mins to an hour, these focused tutorials appear to result in optimum impact. Evidence also suggests tuition should be additional to, but explicitly linked with, normal teaching, and that teachers should monitor progress to ensure the tutoring is beneficial. The variability in findings may suggest that the quality of teaching in one to one tuition or small groups is more important than the group size.

You are lucky that there are a lot of choices for you. Education has become more liberal compared to the past. If you are going to choose from one to one tuition and tuition centres, always remember that the key is understanding your needs and requirements. What is your goal? What are the things you want to achieve? Knowing these things will help you come up with a sound decision.

If you are looking for the ultimate party and outdoor food, then look no further. You are searching for a food that is sumptuous in its core but is easy to prepare. Yes, we are talking about barbecue. There is no doubt that barbecue is the best food for BBQ party. Who does not like barbecue?

No one is really sure where the term barbecue originated. A lot of people think that it originated when the Spaniards, upon landing in the Caribbean, used the word barbacoa to refer to the natives' method of slow-cooking meat over a wooden platform. By the 19th century, the culinary technique was well established in the American South, and because pigs were prevalent in the region, pork became the primary meat at barbecues. Corn bread emerged as the side dish of choice, owing largely to the fact that in humid Southern climates, corn grew better than wheat (which was prone to fungal infections). Barbecue allowed an abundance of food to be cooked at once and quickly became the go-to menu item for large gatherings like church festivals and neighborhood picnics.

In preparing barbecue for your party, there are a lot of considerations that you should think about. First of all, you have to be familiar with the butchers in Singapore. Butcheries are the primary source of barbecue meat in Singapore. The government is strict when it comes to food safety. Buy barbecue meat only from accredited butcheries.

A good gauge for an event is the memories and remembrance it imparts to the guests. Sometimes, it is not through the extravagance and flamboyance of the event that people admire it. In truth, it is because they have enjoyed the experience.

What’s a best way to immortalize a great event? Of course, there is no other way than through photographs. Nowadays, it is imperative for every event organizers to document the happenings in an occasion. It is truly fun to look at photos and videos of an event.

For instance, wedding photography is becoming more and more popular nowadays. There are a lot of Singapore wedding photography packages that are available for you.  Let us explore the various Singapore wedding photography packages.

First on the list is settling your style. Before you begin researching for wedding videographers or photographers, you will need to first decide what type of photography style you prefer for your event. This will help you determine which kind of photographer you'll want shooting for your wedding. Do you want the more photo journalistic style? Do you prefer the fashion style of photography and videography? Whatever style you prefer, make it a point that you will clear with your preferences and goals.

In choosing your wedding photographer, experience is very crucial. Ask for testimonials and references. Check out your wedding providers’ portfolio. What are the types of events they have worked on before? How long are they in the business. Longevity is a key quality but it is not a mere gauge of competence. Sometimes, new breed of companies in the industry may provide the innovations and new trends.

Next, do your homework and start researching wedding photography packages. Start your search by reading reviews from recent brides and browsing hundreds of local listings. Carefully review potential photographers' websites and blogs to check out photos of other weddings they've shot, which will give you an idea of their style. The design of the website may also give you clues about the photographer's personality and sensibility. Check out their Facebook and Twitter pages too, if possible, learn about the feedback. Is the feedback from clients good? How does the photographer respond?

Lastly, compare wedding photography packages. Of course, you won't be able to identify an exact amount until you are sure of what you want. What are your requirements? How many hours would you require the photographer to cover the event? How many photos do you want? These are some of the questions you need to underscore in comparing wedding photography packages.  Further, when interviewing candidates, ask for a general range based on the photographer's standard “shooting fee” and package. It is also important to find out what's included in the standard package, plus the basic range for any extras you may want, like an engagement shoot, special effects or additional coverage, so you can compare rates.

All in all, always remember to enjoy your event. These wedding packages are here to help you out in staging your event so do not dwell too much on the stress. Good luck!

One of the most prominent influences of the Asian neighbours to Singaporean culture is seen in the culinary features. Given the diversity of cultural heritages that expats have brought in the city-state over decades of migration, it is not surprising that the citizens in Singapore have become accustomed to diverse taste patterns. Among the culinary choices present in the region, Singaporeans and foreign tourists alike manifest an inclination towards south indian food. Such cuisine emphasizes the usage of rice as the staple, fresher ingredients, a combination of chilli and coconut to create distinct sauce and more vegetarian-themed meals. Consequently, eight of the most famous south Indian foods in Singapore are discussed below.

1.) Idli. It can be analyzed that Idlis are oval-shaped white cakes with soft and fluffy texture. While some features of Idli resemble that of regular pancakes, the taste of this food is very distinct since it is created from a batter of fermented black lentils and rice. Idli is cooked by steaming thereby making it healthier than other food choices because of the less oil that is involved in the preparation.

2.) Dosa. Another crispy Indian relative of pancakes is Dosa (picture shown below). The popularity of this food item is so immense that several tourists have dubbed this as the best indian food that they have tasted in their entire life. This is not surprising since Dosa, a crunchy pancake with tasty potato and spices mixture stuffed in it, manifests authentic Indian flavour especially when dipped in the sambar sauce.

3.) Thali. For heavy-eaters, thali is a good option to load up. This food is spearheaded by rice served on a banana leaf or metal tray depending on the preference of the restaurant. Along with this, chapatti flat bread or fried bread is used to complement the rice while Indian pickle, chutneys and curry favours are used to offer a rich mixture of flavourful concoction in a single meal.

4.) Vada. Often regarded as an Indian street food, Vada is a fried circular batter with hole at the middle. It is made of gram flour, lentil and mashed potato mixed with the necessary spices to create a heavy finger food. Alternatively, restaurants also offer Vada in a classy serving along with its preferred partner, sambar sauce.

5.) Biryani. This food item can be considered as the Indian version of mixed rice only that it is significantly thicker and denser in appearance. Biryani is actually a fusion of rice, selected vegetable ingredients, pork or beef, coconut milk, mutton and cinnamon. It can be eaten with other fish or meat dishes but the majority of Indians believe that Biryani is already a complete meal in itself.   

6.) Sooji thalipeeth. This dish also belongs to the pancake-type Indian food. It is created from a batter of flour and vegetable and friend until golden brown. It is usually enjoyed with sambar sauce.

7.) Avial. South Indian’s love for coconut is highlighted in this dish. This is because Avial is a spicy mixture of vegetables boiled in coconut milk and curd. The resulting thick blend is best eaten with rice on a windy evening.

8.) Potato with coconut gravy. Lastly, this dish is made special by the overpowering combination of curry and coconut. Potato cubes are boiled in this mixture to create a bowl of sweet-and-sour viand.

There are numerous restaurants across the country that offer the aforementioned food items. While the most well-known establishments are situated in Little India, more food stalls that showcase genuine Indian cooking can be seen outside the metropolis. Certainly, tourists and locals can easily satisfy a sudden craving for Indian food in Singapore.

Party planning can be an arduous task especially when the person in-charge was instructed to reduce on party expenses. When facing the dilemma of implementing a quality Christmas celebration while maintaining low occasion costs, an event planner must consider the ten necessary Christmas party saving tips that are discussed below.  

On-site party. Ideas on party venue comprise a significant portion of the event budget. To cut on this cost, organizers can choose the living room or the patio for a family Christmas gathering. To accentuate the area, organizers can obtain the service of furniture rental companies to align the appearance of the indoor or outdoor home space with the Christmas spirit.

DIY decorations. Decorative materials during the Christmas season are characterized by Santa and reindeer figures along with Christmas lights. To save on these materials, organizers can gather the family to create customized adornments. The creative minds of both children and adults can be tapped to transform plastic cups into lanterns and colored papers into miniature Christmas trees.

Lights and sound system. A party is never complete without audio and light system. Especially for a night party, these event necessities set the mood of the guests. Fortunately, organizers can avail the leasing terms of furniture rental Singapore services which also offer light and sound provisions at affordable prices.

Reduce on manpower. Expenses on labour costs can be reduced if the event organizer will be able to obtain help from his or her family regarding food serving and guest management. This way, hourly fees on service crews can be omitted.

Food choices. Most families splurge on food choices during Christmas celebrations since this is the only event of the year that distant family members are gathered on one table. However, organizers can still save on food items for this occasion if they will reduce an originally planned six-course meal to a three. Buying ingredients from wet markets is also more cost-effective than procuring supplies from the grocery.

Alcohol offerings. The bar is greatly appreciated by men during Christmas celebrations. Unfortunately, non-regulation of alcohol party consumption can leave one’s bar empty. To address this, the organizer can designate a specific person to control the release of wine and beer bottles.

Invest on snacks. In between meal servings, snacks like sandwiches or biscuits can be served to the guests. By doing this, the party attendees won’t be left starving during intervals. Accordingly, the organizer can save on meal expenses.

Party program. A gathering of family and friends for the holiday season can consume the whole night if not properly regulated, an event which is synonymous to increased costs for the event organizer. Consequently, organizers can create a party program that will guide the revelry. Such program can last from two to four hours depending on the quantity of guests.

Music mash-up. Christmas merry-making is never complete without songs and lively beats. To cater to this need, organizers can hire a DJ instead of a band or better yet, the organizing team can simply create a playlist of their favourite songs. Caution, however, must be observed in compiling the playlist to ensure that majority of the attendees would be able to relate to the songs that will be played.

Gift checks and coupons. Lastly, organizers can save on party giveaways if they will offer gift cheques and coupons instead of bulky appliances or costly gadgets.

By implementing the ten suggestions given in this article, organizers can throw a heart-warming Christmas party without going beyond his or her intended budget.

Singapore is known to the world as a nation of superior living terms and standards. From its residential buildings, commercial establishments, medical services and educational system, it can’t be denied that Singaporeans are enjoying above average way of life.

Yet, recent trends have shown that the citizens of the city state prefer to manifest lavish ways even upon entry of the afterlife. Ten proofs of these luxurious Singaporean funeral activities are given in this article.

1. Coffins. Traditionally, a singapore funeral is complete with a Buddhism-inspired coffin. At present, however, the overly wealthy citizens of the nation prefer to spend their eternal rest in gold-plated coffins. Such caskets are of esteemed karat values. Also, some prominent families choose to add gemstone embellishments on the pricey coffin of their beloved. 

2. Burial plots. Strict regulation of the funeral services in singapore is done by the government authorities. Particularly emphasis of this is given on burial plots. At present, the Choa Chu Kang complex is the only cemetery in Singapore that is still accepting burials since the government encourages the public to opt for cremation to save burial land space. Accordingly, prices of burial plots at the Choa Chu Kang complex are significantly high as compared to burial areas in the surrounding countries.  

3. Urns. Most Singaporeans nowadays opt for cremation and their ashes are usually stored in generic urns. For the affluent, however, urns are often gold plated with jewel decorations. Other notably expensive urns are those made of porcelain with distinct carvings following the deceased’s religious beliefs.

4. Columbarium. Housing funeral urns in Singapore is also of word-class quality. This is because the country boasts a 6-star grade columbarium that is fully equipped with air-conditioning system, computerized controls, sound coordination technology and laser security system.

5. Hearse. Funeral cars that are used to carry and transfer the coffin of Singapore’s elite from the church or funeral parlor to the cemetery are characterized by luxury brand vehicles. Rental of these vehicles are priced on an hourly basis at considerably expensive fees in view of the logo of the hearses.

6. Deceased clothing. Another pricey funeral service in Singapore is the usage of designer brands as clothing to the deceased. Male garments are considered to be more expensive since these include rare suit and ties from renowned designers.

7. Remembrance hall. Funeral companies in Singapore offer state-of-the-art remembrance halls for their customers. These areas are equipped with wireless internet connection and modern sound and light system with that enable the family and friends of the departed to conduct solemn death ceremonies. Other halls even offer shower areas and rooms where the family members can re-energize themselves while observing the ceremony.

8. Food servings. During funeral ceremonies, some Singaporean families select exquisite food items to be served for the mourners. While this practice is not prevalent across the nation, these families believe that it is their duty to offer sumptuous meals to the people who comfort them during their time of grief.

9. Floral arrangement. Flower arrangements for the departed are another significant factor in Singaporean funeral etiquette. Common sympathy flowers are sent by Singaporeans to express their sadness for the family’s loss. While the prices of these flower arrangements usually range from 100 to 500 Singaporean dollars, several well-off families opt to send and receive expensive funeral flowers which cost more than 1000 to 2000 Singaporean dollars. 

10. International repatriation. Expats form a major portion of the Singaporean population. When these foreigners die, funeral companies offer deluxe manner of repatriating the bodies. These companies ensure that a premier airline will transfer the body from Singapore to the home country. Other necessary travel arrangements plus the paper documents are also covered by these packages. Accordingly, the price of these funeral options is also costly.

Veneration for the departed is a respected tradition in Singapore. For some, this can be shown by offering nothing but the best funeral services for the departed loved one.

Upbeat music, cocktails, photo booths, a dance floor, and a huge crowd of enjoying people – combining these scenarios what do we get? One… two… three… tada! Party! A party is an event in which people gathered to have fun and to celebrate a special occasion like Promotion, Birthday, Homecoming, Reunions, Christmas, and many more. Of course, if you want to throw a party, you’re always thinking “This must be the best party ever!”

However, conducting a party is really a challenging experience. Thorough planning is needed in order for it to become successful. Here are some of the advices to kick off your party to the fullest.

Decide for a theme. First of all, you must select what theme is suited for your party in accordance with the celebrated occasion. Having the right kind of theme can add up to the liveliness and moods of your affair. For example, if you are going for a Halloween Party, setting up the venue with some spooky design and decoration hypes the aura.  Also, requiring your guest to dress up according to the desired theme can make the concept more realistic and more exciting.

But, if you are still undecided and having a hard-time, a professional help may be the answer. You can hire them to cater needed services. Leave all to them and you will be amazed that your party is running smoothly out of flaws and running according to plan. Isn’t it convenient? Nowadays, there are many available event management companies in Singapore that offers different party needs.

Who are Your Guests? To make a party more enjoyable, you must know your guests physically and mentally. In choosing for your guests, one factor to be considered is acquaintance. Obviously, there is lesser interaction if you personally don’t know or not familiar with your invitees. This will make you feel “awkward” as well as to them. The top priority people that you should include are your family and your friends. Being close to them, you are free to do whatever you wanted to do. And lastly, include personality. Social-like person are more dynamic in parties because they can easily get along with others. This will prevent your party to become boring.

The Menu List. Of course, parties are useless with an empty stomach. Foods must also be based according to the party’s theme. If you are hosting a formal one, the food must be also formal in form of being exquisite and luxurious but then, if you are on a casual, any recipe will do including out-of-the-box ideas. And if you’re into Birthdays, cake is a must.

Pop-up some Surprises. Dancing and chatting along cannot make parties really enjoyable. Come up with some unique ideas like games, photo booths, shout-out wall, intermission number and anything that makes your audience active. Ice breakers can help develop social skills to your guests since they are designed in that manner.

Mr. MC are you there? Surprisingly, yourself is another factor. You are the host of this event so you must show some positive and energetic spirit to them. Although, you are tired on the different preparation, still you must make them feel that you are very happy and over-whelmed to celebrate with them.

A little memorabilia from the heart. At last, if you really want to make your party unforgettable, give your visitors some items that can make them remember this day. To make it more appealing, try to look for some unique or remarkable souvenir. Probably, their picture taken from the photo booth during that day is a good choice.

Remember, in party always wear yourself and enjoy!

Death is the ultimate event in every man’s life. It is the time when all of the things around us were stopped and there we will finally bid “ciao” to each of our loved ones. But due to this fact, have you ever imagined about planning your own funeral ahead of time?

It sounds crazy or weird for others but let me open up to you some of the reasons why we must plan our own funeral ahead of time.

Reason #1: Freedom to Get and Do What You Want

            Since funeral day is the last day that you will spent in earth, you must be able to plan it according to what you really wanted. Through planning, you can state to your family how you wanted your funeral to be. This includes the design of your casket, the venue of the funeral, as well as the attire that you wanted to wear. And also, you can say to your family members your last wish and also how you wanted for them to react. In that manner, you are assured that your wishes and plans will be granted.

Reason #2: Less Burden to Your Family

            From the time when your funeral is already prepared, your family will no longer be thinking about the budget to be spent as well as the details for your funeral arrangement. They will not worry anymore about the financial issues that they may face after your funeral as well as the problems that may arise during your funeral service. In effect, they can be able to focus on their grief and can lessen their stress during your funeral. Isn’t is great for them? Just think of that as your final bonus or gift to them.

Reason #3: Save Money

            Planning ahead can help you as well as your family members to be aware about some death benefits that you may be able to receive thus this will result in spending of your money wisely in accordance to making your ideal funeral possible. You can be able to choose what funeral service is suited for your allotted budget. Resulting in the avoidance of too much spending in the costs of funeral services. Also, you can have an option if you want to pay your funeral in installment basis since there are some funeral establishments that offer that kind of deal. And lastly, if you plan ahead, it will not be affected by any inflation rate since you acquired that service in different earlier time.

Reason #4: Save Family from Conflict

            In the middle of the grieving process, people tends to be different from their usual self. Since your family don’t know what you really want, there’s a tendency that conflict on each other may arise due to stress built-up. If they know your wish, it will be easier for them to carry out the funeral process. Thus, conflicts will be prevented.

Reason #5: Solace for the Soul

            Peace of mind. It is like a feeling that “all is up and I am ready to go”.
