Decorating Your Bathroom

~ Posted on Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 1:31 AM ~

Do you know that the average person spends about two weeks in the bathroom each year or about three whole years of their life in the bathroom?

With this amount of time spent, I would think it is necessary that we have a bathroom where we feel comfortable to be in and that its' environment and  surrounding brings calm and relaxation feel to us whenever we are inside the bathroom.

Now what are the important features that you consider into when it comes to decorating your bathroom?

For me, I think bathroom lighting is an important feature to look into when decorating your bathroom. If I have the choice, I would choose a contemporary bathroom lighting, something like this:

I prefer bathroom lighting which is simple and clean looking, one that does not stand out or look out of place.

Another feature to consider when decorating your bathroom is the bathroom mirrors. With so many types and designs available on bathroom mirrors nowadays, it is not an easy task to choose one that is going to complement the look of your bathroom.

 I would personally go for something simpler in style, and yet look classy and unique at the same time. I mean, look at the bathroom mirror shown below! Isn't it gorgeous?

How to Make a Great Resume

~ Posted on Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 1:15 AM ~

A resume is very important as it represents yourself when you are trying to secure a job.

Resume must be simple yet professional and stands out from the rest as employers go through a lot of resume when they are in the process of hiring a new employee.

Although I am no longer working, I do still helped out by forwarding my resume template to my ex-colleagues and friends who are looking to change jobs.

Now how to make a resume?

Below are some on my personal tips:

- Write out your personal details so that it's easy to read at a glance. Details such as name, race, age, marital status, some of the common things that an employer or headhunter will look at very quickly.

- Summarised your education background in a few lines. I personally will just list down the year, education place and the grades/certificates attained.

- Summarised your working experience as brief as possible. I normally put in the duration employed, job title and job scopes and what I have achieved and contributed towards the company during my employment period.

- I will personally leave the hobbies and extra-curricular activities out. However, things worth putting into the resume are such as awards you have received in previous or current working place, or accomplishments that might make you stand out from the rest of the candidates.

- Try not to have more than 2 pages for your resume.

- Other details worth taking note of is the font size, standardisation of your font type and grammatical errors.

- If you are sending your resume via email, please make sure you convert your document to PDF format, as the file size will be smaller and your document and contents are protected and not being able to be tampered with easily.

Baby Changing Station

~ Posted on Tuesday, March 13, 2012 at 8:55 AM ~

If you are a parent, you will surely have or need to use this: Baby Changing Station.

Now, what is a baby changing station? It is a table on which you lay your baby down to change his or her diaper. So, regardless your child is on disposable or cloth diapers, like I said earlier, we as a parent will surely own one.... or at least need to use one when we are out and about.

To be honest, we don't own one but we do McGyver-ise one of our office tables to be a baby changing station. Now of course, we don't just simply take a table and use it as a baby changing station! We have to consider whether the table is sturdy enough to support the weight of our child, whether the surface of the table is comfortable to place our child on, and whether the size is wide and long enough for our child to be placed on the table. And as our child grows up, we have to consider the functionalities as well, whether it can be used for other purposes later on.

When we go out, I like to check out the baby rooms facility provided by the place we go to. Some of the places (like malls) have wall mounted baby changing station which is space saving and strong while some places make use of changing pads and placed them on some table or racks.

Do you have a baby changing station?
