To answer all queries
Well, sometime ago when I posted up a picture of my hall room, I've gotten text messages inquiring about the water fountain and the lantern.
My Zen water fountain and Ikea scented candle lantern.
The lantern can be bought from Ikea "ROTERA" for $9.90.
Well you can get all sorts of water-fountain designs from markets, from shopping centres, they can be found at novelty stores, flourists, toy-stores, departmental stores and even neighbourhood markets. I can say that at least more than two shops in every shopping centre sell them. And the designs are just limitless, you will definitely find one to suit your own taste.
Jurong Point, IMM, Tiong Bahru, Westmall, Park Mall, Takashimaya all stock such water-fountains.
I got mine from MUSTAFA for $16.90 (Because it's just so much cheaper there), however the ROTERA lantern costs $14.90 at Mustafa so it's cheaper to get that from IKEA.
It was in an ugly black colour, so I spray-painted it silver. Which is much nicer and more pleasant looking now. The colour-LEDS are stock, and fade-in-and-out periodically. The gentle flowing water helps to sooth your nerves after a hectic day.
Here's another design that I liked from Takashimaya.
Depending on the size, desktop fountains cost anywhere between $12.90 to $45.90
Full floor-mounted fountains cost anywhere from $49.90 to several hundreds of dollars (Taka and Parkmall).

Someone asked me sometime ago, "What is the best MOUSE to get."
The person is a girl, and even after reccomending Logitech and Razer, (two trusted brands that I highly reccomend), she didn't like them, citing ugliness, plainess... and she had a fat wallet to spare.
So what is a "COOL, NICE-looking, Feature-Rich, CHIO Mouse available?"
Well, it was a new IT query for me... I've always looked at performance, not looks, but nevertheless an interesting query.
Well depending on your budget.
1. ($10 - $29.90) - Microsoft Laptop Mouse (comes in 4 colours, with Orange and silver)
2.
Logitech V220 Cordless Optical USB MouseIt comes in plain vanilla pink, but it's cordless.

Well there's one more pink mouse with studded swarovski crystals that I saw around one day but didn't think of snapping a picture. If I happen to see it again, I'll post it up.
