Yes that's right. After the first three days of blogging on BlogSpot, I have decided to move to another platform.
Why?
Because the user interface for BlogSpot is pretty user-unfriendly. You can't post in different pages and so, all your posts will fall into the 'home' page.
I have plans to separate my blog posts and my reviews so I need an interface to accommodate.
Therefore, I am moving to weebly!
From now on, my posts and updates will be on http://alphonsoinwonderland.weebly.com/ and yes it is still me in wonderland.
See ya in wonderland!

5 Fun Facts About World Cup You Didn't Know
So the football World Cup is drawing near in about a month and everyone can't wait to watch the team they are rooting for! Soon enough, you will see people rocking their national jerseys down Orchard road.
Since we are all a little restless while looking forward to the big event (maybe its just me), I've decided to compile a list of interesting facts you probably wouldn't have known, unless you are literally crazy over football.
For some of those who knows nothing about football but do not want to be stuck in situations where you awkwardly listen to your peers talking about the world cup, this is the article for you.
1. Netherlands has never won a World Cup.
That's right. With so many amazing players coming from the country, wonderful players like Van Nistelrooy, John Cryuff, Van Der Sar, to the more recent Van Persie, and Robben, its really quite surprising they have yet to win.
The Dutch were close to winning their trophy three times, losing in the final games against Germany (1974), Argentina (1978) and most recently, Spain (who happens to be the champion for the first time).
2. The fastest goal in World Cup is 10.89 seconds.
It took place in the first round game in 2002 World Cup, scored by Hakan Sukur of Turkey (Turkey vs Korea Repubic, 29 June 2002).
3. The top goal scorer in World Cup is Ronaldo.
No, its not Cristiano Ronaldo. Its the one everyone casually refer to as "the fat Ronaldo." He top the goal scoring chart at 15 goals.
4. The Youngest goal scorer, hat trick hero and youngest scorer in the finals.
At just 17 years and 239 days old, Pele became the youngest player to ever score in the World Cup competition. He claimed the youngest Hat Trick at 17 years and 244 days old and also the youngest player to ever score in the World Cup Final at 17 years and 249 days old!
This truly is a feat achieved by Pele and no one could better it since 1958!
5. Longest clean sheet is 68 years.
The Longest clean sheet maintained was 68 years by France, until the World Cup finals in 1998, against Saudi Arabia in the first round. Coincidentally, it was also the day the first French man was being sent off with a red card, and that's none other than our head-butting legend, Zidane.
So here are 5 fun facts you now know about the world cup! Who do you think will win this year? Do share your thoughts about it in the comment section! Additionally, if you have some fun facts to share with us, drop it in the comment section as well!

Top 5 Places to go mugging for exams in Singapore
Okay so its the exam period and for us Singaporeans, this is the same old ritual.
Most of us stay home and do our mugging ourselves. To make studying less torturous and a little bit more enjoyable, we resort to getting our butts out of the house to study with our friends.
Studying overnight has been trending so I have some midnight mugging recommendations.
So here are 5 popular places we Singaporeans study in:
1. McDonald's
Yes. Any of the 24 hours operating outlets are the favourite mugging spots for students. Settle your dinner here and you can hog the table and study the night away. I remember so many of my mugging days spent in one of these outlets and yes, some outlets are really peaceful in the middle of the night.
Remember to have at least a cup of coke so that you will not be chased away.
2. Changi Airport
I am not even kidding. This is the best and most recommended place to do your studying and let me explain why.
First, Popeyes. Who doesn't like Popeyes Chicken? There is a 24 hours Popeyes in the airport and I enjoyed studying there.
Second (the most important factor), if you have no driving license and you don't own a car, once its past 12 midnight, you are stranded. Stranded in the airport. You will have nothing better to do than to force yourself to study! Unless you are willing to pay the crazily inflated taxi fare to go home, of course.
3. The Library
Its a place filled with knowledge and books! Where else to go but the library right?
The library is where you can enjoy total silence (seriously, its really quiet). You have library police there you know? The ones who maintain the quietness in the library?
However, do take note that the tables are always occupied and rarely available. Somehow, there will be these people who are one step ahead of you to grab that available seat. So, if you really want to study in the library, work for it; GO EARLY.
4. Your Friend's House
This one is really subjective but let me give you some tips as to which friend's house do you exactly go to? Of course, your best friend who happens to be taking the same papers as you!
Sure, there will be all the distractions in that room you guys are studying in. BUT, you guys will have that same sense of urgency to cramp all the necessary information into your heads. Test one another topic by topic and see if you guys can remember all the points in them. Rest assured, they got your back!
*A match of FIFA 14 on the PlayStation in the middle of mugging is healthy.
5. Home Sweet Home
Ultimately, If you really don't want to step out of your house, home is still one of the most ideal places to study. Lock the door and shut yourself in the room and start mugging!
For the lucky ones, you have your maid serving you snacks and drinks during you breaks. For the not so fortunate ones, well, you have your parents or even younger siblings to bully. For the least fortunate, you still have your own hands!
So that's it! 5 hot spots for us students in Singapore to mug for our exams! For some of us, exams are over so congratulations! For those out there in the middle of mugging, all the best to you all!

My First Post!
Hi all! My name is Alphonso and I have decided to start blogging!
I will be blogging on two main scopes: Life in Singapore and innovative product reviews.
Life in Singapore is hectic and we find ourselves stuck in the rat race (most of us, at least). I have decided to source for interesting places to go to, to do things, and ultimately to have fun!
I have a special love for innovative products and I find them very interesting. One fine day, I stumbled upon Kickstarter and got addicted to browsing their site EVERYDAY.
In the end, I've decided to start buying stuff I think are interesting from there, and do reviews on the items.

Healthier Ice Cream Choice
Singapore has a really humid weather and it is almost always so hot and sunny you want to dip yourself into the pool.
Ice cream is an all time favorite of both kids and adults alike, and it is one of those things you will want to indulge in on a hot and sunny day!
However, everyone knows that ice cream is really fattening, with high contents of carbohydrates and fats.
Sure, we all want to look good. But must we sacrifice the orgasmic sensation when the ice cream melt in our mouth?
The good news is, there's always a healthier choice. I've been searching and looking for an ice cream with a low calorie count and at the same time doesn't compromise the taste of it.
Too all the lobang seekers, introducing the Mr Bean soya ice cream!
"Mr Bean soya ice cream is the first ever soya ice cream in Singapore to contain only 9.50g of sugar and 4.79g of fats per serving (100g). It is one of the ice cream with the lowest sugar and fats content in the market."
If you've never tried one of these soya ice cream, I suggest you to put on a shirt right now and head to the nearest outlet. GET YOUR HANDS ON THEM.
For the price of $1.80, you get one in a cup. For $1.50, you'll get one with the cone (get the cone one).
The soya ice cream has a very healthy taste. It is not the awfully sweet kind of ice cream, but a healthy sweet kind of taste. It melts in your mouth and the healthy taste of the soya bean really brings it to another level.
It is one of those ice cream that you can finish without feeling sinful nor fat, I bet Rowan Atkinson would love to try one too!
So that's it for this week's lobang101! More lobangs coming up soon!
