Editor’s Note Dear readers, how’s the year been for you so far? We step into the second quarter with a quick ques�on: What does home mean to you? Our home goes beyond just a place to stay; it is a personal sanctuary tailored to our preferences, an abode where we retreat to and unwind a�er a long day. When it comes to furnishing and selec�ng ﬁ�ngs, we want the best, not just in quality, but in value as well. While the process is a long one, it gives homeowners a sense of sa�sfac�on and pride seeing the pieces come together. It’s not just following that Pinterest-worthy interior design you have lusted for, but also pooling in prac�cality and func�onality as well. In this edi�on, we delve into the many aspects of home and living spaces, from décor, design, appliances and more that come together to complete an ideal household. From air condi�oning to renova�on, go full thro�le with the ni�y �ps and recommenda�ons we’ve compiled just for your needs. Compare and contrast the diﬀerent op�ons you have to make transparent, informed decisions. With Mother’s Day approaching, we also want to take this chance to appreciate and recognise the uncondi�onal love these women shown daily. Happy Mother’s Day to all the superwomen in our lives!

Airing out the Differences Between 3-, 4and 5-Tick AC Models Notice those little green ticks on that air-conditioner system you’re eyeing? You know they’re supposed to signify some energy-savings rating, but what exactly? Known as “tick ratings”, it reflects the energy efficiency of different air-conditioning models. Based on a strict energy rating system, the current rating is interpreted as:

h om e & l iv ing

you’re confused about those �ny numbers and equa�ons, it’s simple – the COP refers to the coefficient of performance. This is a ra�o of useful hea�ng/cooling offered against the output. To clear the confusion, just remember this: higher COPs mean lower opera�ng costs. Hence, according to the table, the more �cks it has, the more energy-efficient the model is.

This local website oﬀers a free calculator to determine the life cycle costs of diﬀerent �cks.

Models with fewer �cks require more energy costs over their lifespans, guzzling greater energy to keep their systems running.

For example, these are how Daikin air-condi�oners will fare for 3-�ck, 4-�ck and 5-�ck models:

Life Cycle Cost Calculator Type Daikin

2723

Type

As seen above, despite higher ini�al costs for the 5-�ck model, its overall lifespan and life cycle cost is the lowest amongst the three. Therefore, you can expect higher energy savings from its high energy efficiency. To sum it up, here are the key differences between these �cks: the life�me energy and life cycle costs differ due to different energy

Ticks

consump�on levels. The lesser the �cks, the more energy consumed and the higher costs it will incur.

So, the next �me you’re considering which model to get, use this as a guide to make your decision! Look beyond upfront costs to make be�er choices.

Bathroom Must-Knows for Choosing the Finest Fittings

It’s a sanctuary, a peaceful place where you can comfortably soak up shower time. Whether you’re remodeling your bathroom or fixing up a new one, here’s a quick must-know guide when selecting your fittings.

h om e & l iv ing

Mirror Storage Solutions

Unless your home is huge, extra storage solu�ons are always recommended, especially for bathroom where space is usually a luxury – and limited. Your bathroom mirror is an essen�al component. Consider both its aesthe�cs and func�on. It shouldn’t just radiate beauty, but also reﬂect good planning. We recommend choosing mirror cabinets mounted above your sink for extra storage for your bathroom necessi�es like toiletries and facial towels.

Tapping on the Right Resources

Your sink tap is an important bathroom addi�on. Before buying one, ask about the type: is it a disc, compression washer, cartridge or ball faucet? Are replacements readily available if your purchase leaks or is ruined? If you’re staying with elderly or have young kids, select a long handle that’s easy to reach. Get a type that’s also easy to use for the elderly.

A Bathtub Boost

Everyone loves a good soak in a bathtub a�er a long and exhaus�ng day at work. A good selec�on of a bathtub might not seem important to everyone, but there are diﬀerent types of bathtubs to suit everyone’s needs. Firstly, consider your bathroom size. Stay within the available space and pick one that s�ll allows enough area to move about. There are also various types of bathtubs for you to choose from – jet tubs, solo tubs, soaking tubs, whirlpool tubs and more. Find a tub that sa�sﬁes its intended purpose. For added safety, you may also consider an�-slip tubs, especially when kids are involved! With a wine glass in hand and a book in another, a good soak in your luxurious bathtub sends you on cloud nine. Pick your perfect bathtub now!

h om e & l iv ing Think the home cleaning and personal care products are safe? “Many Singaporeans assume that the chemicals in their shampoos, detergents and other consumer products have been thoroughly tested and proved to be safe. This assump�on is wrong.”

Many of us who, as best we can, feed our families organic food and follow organic gardening prac�ces have been concerned about the chemicals, many of them uniden�ﬁed, in the products we use on our bodies and around our homes every day. You can always choose products made from natural ingredients and without harmful or dangerous chemicals. But everyone should have the knowledge and ability to protect themselves.

ABOUT US, AND WHAT WE AIM TO ACHIEVE

a r t Ex ngth e r t S

Enzyme Wizard represents a true supplier of plant-based enzymes and enzyme products. As a result, we are able to guarantee the ingredients that go into the products we produce. We are not dependent on any one supplier for any single ingredient. We pass these savings on to our customers. As we bring new products on-line, our customers have the ability to experience addi�onal savings. It is our corporate value to have the best performing products on the market in each industry. Developing a growing and sa�sﬁed customer base is our number one marketing strategy. In the ultra-compe��ve cleaning solu�on marketplace, Enzyme Wizard’s future is seemingly boundless. There is a need for a high-quality enzyme solu�on, and an equal amount of markets in need of our products. By its very nature, our products can be used to eliminate odours and organic ma�er, from blood stains,

to cleaning carpets and counter tops, removing wallpaper, and even used as a high-quality cleaner/degreaser.

WHAT MAKES ENZYME WIZARD DIFFERENT?

The products are manufactured using all four (4) diﬀerent types of enzymes. The “magic” is derived from the fact that when manufacture, able to u�lize all four enzymes in one formula�on, under normal condi�ons they would a�ack and destroy each other, with one dominant one remaining intact. The technology behind our formula�on is in its ability to allow each one of the enzymes to co-exist together without destroying each other. Our proprietary formula�on u�lizes a Stabiliza�on process, to achieve this. With this Technology we are able to eliminate the en�re stain or odour with one applica�on.

ENZYME WIZARD PRODUCT FEATURES...

Products do not contain any soap so there is no build up over �me • Enzymes are plant based - they won’t upset the natural bacteria • Enzymes accelerates the destruc�on of organic material • pH Neutral wont damage surfaces • Powerful and Eco-Posi�ve • 100% Biodegradable • No Chemical Agents, CCF Approved. • No phosphates

Boost Your

CONFIDENCE AND GRADES Chemistry tutor William Lin has the right formula to help students make sense of diﬃcult concepts.

used to dread chemistry classes when he was in junior college. But that changed a�er he signed up for tui�on lessons by chemistry tutor William Lin. Now 20 and in Na�onal Service, Mr Felix Tseng recalled how Mr Lin helped him find his bearings in chemistry and mo�vated him to do well in his studies two years ago. Mr Tseng said: "During chemistry lessons in school, I always felt lost and I couldn't keep up with the class. I found it difficult to understand the concepts taught in class." He remembered feeling demoralised a�er obtaining a U grade in his March JC2 chemistry exam. A schoolmate suggested Mr Tseng take up tui�on in chemistry. Mr Tseng signed up for classes at Making Sense Learning Centre founded by Mr William Lin He recalled: "From the very first tui�on class, Mr Lin changed my view of chemistry. I was blown away by the ease at which he helped us understand the concepts, link topics together and remember them. Chemistry went from being my greatest source of worry to the subject that I had the most confidence in. "It was more than just for the sake of passing exams. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the subject and I found a lot of sa�sfac�on when I could make sense of the concepts taught." Under Mr Lin's �reless coaching, Mr Tseng scored an A in his GCE A-level examina�ons in 2014.

PASSION TO TEACH AND INSPIRE

Mr Lin founded Making Sense Learning Centre in 2011 oﬀering students tui�on in A Level Chemistry. He coaches over 500 students yearly, delivering structured and comprehensive lessons. Mr Lin graduated from Na�onal University of Singapore (NUS) with an honours degree in chemistry and was awarded a PhD scholarship by NUS to pursue medicinal chemistry. As an undergraduate, he earned a place on the dean's list and completed a four year degree in three-and-a-half years. He began giving tui�on in chemistry part-�me while pursuing his doctorate degree. Midway, Mr Lin realised that his real interest was to teach and coach students in the subject he loved most.

Fuelled by his zeal in imparting knowledge and the sa�sfac�on he felt when students did well, he decided to set up his own tui�on centre. It meant giving up his scholarship. "It was a tough and life-changing decision for me. While I was grateful for the scholarship, I felt compelled to give up my own studies as there was an increasing number of parents and students approaching me to give classes. I considered all factors carefully and decided I had to give my full a�en�on and �me to my students," he said.

MAKING LEARNING FUN AND ENGAGING

Mr Lin believes it is important to engage the students, such as by using teaching aids such as interac�ve smart boards, tablets and even YouTube videos. He said: "Tutoring is like performing. You need to find a way to deliver content in the most interes�ng way. Part of me wants to teach, while the other part of me wants students to be entertained and enjoy coming for class. When they find chemistry interes�ng, half the ba�le is won." Apart from establishing rapport with students, Mr Lin's way of connec�ng students to the subject ma�er is breaking down complex concepts and making them easy for students to understand. He said: "I use simple and concise explana�ons to help my students to process and absorb the knowledge they will be tested on. This helps them learn effec�vely. It is a two-way process, my students get inspired to learn and I draw inspira�on from them to always find new ways of teaching."

LEARNING BASED ON UNDERSTANDING

At Making Sense Learning Centre, students are challenged to ques�on the ra�onale behind facts, think deeply and bridge missing links between concepts. Mr Lin observed that new students who sign up for his tui�on classes o�en tell him that they have spent a lot of �me studying on their own but they were not ge�ng the results they want. "One common problem I no�ced is that they spent �me memorising huge chunks of facts but they don't actually understand what they are commi�ng to memory so they don't quite know how to apply what they memorised to answer exam ques�ons. I liken this to them accumula�ng many pieces of diﬀerent jigsaw puzzles but they can't piece these together to complete the puzzle," he said.

GOING THE DISTANCE

Mr Lin ensures that the notes he provides are well-structured, detailed, concise and informa�ve. He believes that these notes are tools that can allow students to stay ahead of the na�onal average. Outside of tui�on hours, students can reach Mr Lin through Whats¬App, SMS and e-mail to clarify their doubts or ask for extra help. He also encourages students to arrange for extra consulta�on sessions at no cost.

Mr George Wong, 21, one of Mr Lin's former students, scored an A grade for chemistry at his GCE A-level exams in 2013. Mr Wong said: "To me, the one value that really makes Mr Lin such a special teacher is his 100 per cent commitment to students. "He has a few hundred students, yet he knows the strengths and weaknesses of almost all of them. He also replies to our messages without fail. He doesn't mind when we hold him back a�er class to ask him to repeat certain concepts that we don't fully understand. He is not just a chemistry tutor and he truly teaches us the intrinsic value of learning and mo�vates us to want to do well."
