 Due to the rising costs of coffee pods, and the need to save the environment and reduce wastage, I purchased the reusable coffee pod from Lazada so I can use my Nespresso Essenza machine to brew any coffee that I like. No longer restricted to Nespresso, Starbucks, L'or coffee Pods! I prefer metal coffee pod as compared to plastic pods as plastic might release harmful chemicals at high temperature. Better to err on the safe side. I purchased my reusable pod here from lazada. I chose the one with the aluminum food sticker because I saw the coffee pods are also using the stickers on their pods. The downside is that you have to keep purchasing the stickers once it is used up. Here are the pods  that uses a cover instead of stickers, which I have yet to try. Be sure to make sure it's compatible with your machine before you purchase it. How do you use the reusable coffee pod? 1. Put some grounded coffee into the coffee pod. 2. Compress the coffee grounds with a tamper or the back of

Also I found out that the mala stall in the neighbourhood is really popular, I didn't know that and I hope

5 Tips for a Grab Food Delivery Partner (walker/rider/bike)

 Whether you are a walker or a rider, here are 5 tips I have learnt which might help you if you are just starting out or planning to start out 1. Best time is between 11am - 2pm, 5pm-8pm. Best days are Fri, Sat and Sun. Sometimes they have incentives during these times and make sure you take advantage of it. :)  2. Hang out near shopping malls and food court Higher chance of having orders assigned to you if you are around shopping malls and food courts. It's best if there's a food court near shopping mall.  3. Downtown does not necessary give you more tips.  I went to Orchard, Chinatown and City Hall. Delivery are usually to Hotel Lobby, Condos and staff who are working and do not have time to go out to dabao. Nevertheless Grab give you extra incentives if you go down to deliver during peak hours and meeting their minimum requirements. I receive more tips delivering in neighbourhood areas and never receive any from Town areas.  4. For HDBs, look at the unit number at lift or st

5 things I learnt being a Grab Food Walker

I tried Grab Food walker for one month and here are 5 things I have learnt:   1. Time = Money Each hour can translate to money to be earned.

Set a Goal and work towards it Sometimes I have no motivation to work. Why work under the hot sun and humid weather?  But I remember I have a goal to achieve so I continued to press on. It's important to have a goal in life so you can work towards it. 3. The ability to earn big = the number or how large the impact of problems you have solved So for eg. when I deliver a food for a customer, I helped to solve the problem for that customer, who might find it inconvenient to leave his house to buy food, thus I earn around $4. If I deliver food for 10 customers, I solve the problems for 10 customers, and so I earn around $4 x 10 = $40. Grab on the other hand earn as a middleman, they
