I would like to share a good thing with you guys today. Have you heard about the One Cent Movement?

If you haven't, the short one-liner for it is:

One Cent Movement works with businesses that deal with transactions, and get them to offer their customers the choice to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar and donate that difference to charity.


Bank of America did it in the States with their "Keep the change" programme, where you can round up the purchase to the nearest dollar and save those extra cents in a savings account. But One Cent Movement thinks about not just the individual, but the community by helping individuals donate to charity without even lifting a finger.

It's Small Change, but it makes a Big Difference.


Right now they are trying to get as many people to know about this as well - go to their Facebook Page and LIKE! what they do so that businesses realize the amount of people who is supporting it, and will agree to install the rounding-up system in their checkout carts.


Please share this post and let everyone know about the One Cent Movement if you think it is a good idea :)




And now, sharing a cute video where they (shoutout to Steph!) were featured in Starhub's latest Happy Everywhere campaign, which is also a good idea by the way. Who says Singaporeans are not happy?



In fact, mrbrown did a video on ways we show that we're happy. #ifyouhappyandyouknowit

Event Report: Perfect Italiano Cooking Masterclass

Went to a little gem of a cafe recently for brunch one weekday. It was at the Goodman Arts Centre, which you'll need to drive to get to. That cafe's relatively near to my office in the east, so it was a good spot for some lunch and work discussion. We did not sit inside, but the decor inside is really pretty as well.

I haven't had any big breakfasts recently, so I instantly knew what I wanted to order. Plus it's all-day breakfasts! However, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE PRICE? I got a shock when I saw it.


The pizza bread basket ($9) and truffle fries ($13) were also rather pricey! But the pizza bread that my dining companion ordered came with 3 interesting dips and they looked really interesting. The fries were good too.


And here's the supremely overpriced Full Melba Cooked Breakfast ($24). Fortunately it was tasty. Every item on the plate was delicious. Except perhaps the sausage, which tasted a bit odd. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, the sauteed mushrooms well cooked and the bacon crispy. For $24, perhaps they could have given a bit more tomatoes or perhaps some tater tots?

We also had some iced coffees after, which were really pleasant in the heat. 

Even though it was overpriced, the food's really good and the ambience of the place unbeatable. So I would still give it a thumbs up because of all that. It's ok to splurge once in a while :)
