Westquay The Festival of Lights Experience

The Festival of Lights at Westquay

One cold Saturday, we went to Westquay to shop some clothes for my little boy who's growing fast and needed some new clothes from socks to trousers, t-shirts. And then some shorts for his swimming lessons and also for the forthcoming Summer. And we're really looking forward to that one. By the way we shopped at Matalan. Then after we finished shopping, we were hungry so we went inside Westquay at the dining floor and couldn't decided where to buy because there were loads of people at the time, so the easiest choice would be McDonald's. Anyways, my little boy loves Happy Meal because of the toys.

After we finished eating, we went down and shop some more. Actually, it was my lovely wife who went for shopping. My boy and I were just by the corner or sitting by the side of the corridor waiting. My wifey went in Steamer Trading Cookshop whilst were were outside by M&S. Such a shame, the chairs outside were jampack because of the phone charging station. Then, wifey and my boy went inside Smiggle. Now, Im all alone waiting outside. Hehehe. Then, they went inside Cath Kidston but my boy got bored and tired so he went outside and stayed with me.

Fastforward..... we bought water in Superdrug and headed to the Festival of Lights. It was rather cold but worth it. Because, it was really amazing from the sound effects to the projector and the water fountain and all the lights. Kids just loved it. Running around, getting wet because of the fountain but there's no stopping them. Even my little boy was wet because of running around in that fountain. Lots of amazing lights. There were queues but we didn't mind. It was all fun. Head back home, while walking back to the train station in Southampton, the moon looks like having a lunar eclipse. We weren't sure and we couldn't get a decent photo but it was looking weird like in a movie. Then, there were train delays that evening. So we were stuck at the station for nearly an hour. We did manage to reach home. And that was our Festival of Lights experience.

Bestway Perdura Air Chair Review

Gamer Inflatable Chair

Features:
Sturdy pre-tested vinyl
Interlocking quick release valve
Comfortable flocked surface
Sturdy i-beam construction
3 air chambers construction
Cup holder
Heavy-duty repair patch included

Contents: One chair repair patch made in China.

Measurements: 1.02 m x 86 cm x 74 cm (40 x 34 x 29 inches)

Does not come with a pump. Good thing I got my old air pump from our old inflatable bed and it works nicely and perfect fit as well. If you have a pump, it's quite easy and quick. There are three chambers to fill. It's very comfortable to sit on and it's quite a decent size. I was planning to put it in my son's room but I think it was a bit bigger than we anticipated. So, it stays in the lounge for now. The repair patch was the one that my son felt and said "there's a hole" on his review. But actually that was the patch itself when you opened the box. I had hard time looking for that repair patch to be honest. And I think I will probably lose it. Because it's small and I don't know where to put it. Unless I will save the box and keep it there. Im thinking this is an indoor chair but the description on eBay says indoor/outdoor. I think it's safe to use this indoors only.

Well Being vibrating neck massager review

Neck Massager Review

Bought this gadget as a post-Valentine's gift for my wife from Red5. It's a very neat and useful piece of gadget especially for people who works in a care setting, who is almost always tired coming home from work. It's handy and easy to use. You can sit in the lounge, watching your favourite program on the telly and use this. Perfect as well during winter time, because it can be use as a neck warmer. Not that it produces heat or something but because it's worn like a scarf.

It does not come with batteries, so you'll be the one to install batteries. Requires two AA batteries. There's a zip on the side. Unzip and pull the battery compartment and slide to open. Just follow the polarity symbols on how to put the batteries properly then close compartment and put it in properly and zip. Now your unit is ready to use.

In my opinion, I don't think this is a massager, it's more like a vibrating neck cushion that makes you relax. There are two settings, one strong and one light massage/vibration. I like it best when Im lying on it or pressing on it. Because I can feel the vibration more. It is a bi difficult to put on at first maybe because the hole and the control end does not fit properly. Probably because it's new, the hole is not stretched yet. Another thing, I think my son played with it and dropped it and the batteries got dislodged so it stopped working but I simply checked the battery compartment and put back the batteries properly and it's back in business again.

How to clean your guitar fretboard

My first attempt in cleaning my fretboard

Materials needed:

Steel wire wool grade 0
Microfibre cloth
Polishing cloth
New set of strings
Oil-based cleaner/conditioner polish
Fret guard or adhesive to protect the fretboard

This was my first attempt on cleaning and polishing my guitar fretboard. It was made possible because of the help of my friend DelPlaysGuitar. He recommended me what to use and gave me tips on how to do it. Also I've look on Google as well as on YouTube on how to go about it. I did get some ideas like the improvised fretguard made from old credit card or old ID.

Overall, the experience was exciting and scary because being new to it, I don't want to damage my guitar or commit errors that may affect my guitar cosmetically or functionality.

Here are some of the brands I used in this video:
1. Dunlop 02 deep conditioner
2. Clayton ProBuff quality guitar polishing cloth
3. Abelli Studio Pro wipe
4. Grade 0 steel wire wool
5. Fender 250 R
