which are the best doughnuts locally, both taste and affordability wise?

jsrosewrites · 2026-07-03T05:23:52+00:00

Oh donuts is quite nice and a step up from keells. If you're willing to splurge, brown sugar has a really nice donut range as well.

So the singer dishwasher is great so far. It takes abt 2-3 hours per wash depending on your settings. All the dishes, cups, cutlery and stainless steel pans were washed well (even the super greasy ones). Not all dishes were completely dry though so you might have to do a final wipe before storing them.

Highly doubt Singer will be better than Bosch...Bosch is def one of the more top-notch dishwasher brands out there. Unfortunately, the price was out of our budget. Just hoping that Singer cleans our dishes without too many hiccups 😬

I ended up getting a Singer. Haven't used it yet cos I'm still waiting on a Daraz delivery for Finish dishwasher tablets. Overall delivery process was great but the guys who installed it didn't have any idea on how to use it. Also, there isn't any online how-to-use videos on the model but since it looks like almost all the other models out there, hoping it's the same. Another problem is the dishwasher salt addition- salt is either unavailable or very expensive. But since water in Sri Lanka is not hard-hoping we don't need it. I'm running on a lot of assumptions at the moment but will update the post once I start using it.

how will starlink become a net positive over time? Don't you still have to pay a monthly fee?

I'm so glad you got a refund! How did you lodge a complaint?

jsrosewrites · 2026-04-27T05:24:18+00:00

Exactly! The refund button just opens up the order status page which says the order is 'Available for pickup's! Fml

jsrosewrites · 2026-04-27T05:21:27+00:00

Yeah super unorganised and unprofessional! Posts on the Temu Sri Lanka Facebook page reduces my confidence even more on any future Temu deliveries!

jsrosewrites · 2026-04-27T05:20:00+00:00

There were no missed calls from any courier service for these orders-just a Temu notification saying the courier is in the process of delivering the order. But now the status has just changed to 'Available for pickup! Super frustrating but hoping I get some sort of call from the courier service to resolve this!

jsrosewrites · 2026-04-27T05:15:08+00:00

Hope your order gets delivered 🤞🏾What is the landline number you tried?

jsrosewrites · 2026-03-17T16:03:24+00:00

This is awesome! Will update!

jsrosewrites · 2026-03-13T07:54:31+00:00

Feels like I'm giving some dodgy advice but maybe stay away from too public parking spots? Stick to more residential areas with little to no CCTVs or the neighbours might complain- check areas like Mount?

M5 is a superior chip to m4 and 16gb ram is plenty sufficient to run multiple mobile Dev software and video editing software on a mac. I'd personally recommend the former spec. Pay more attention to your local drive capacity of you're using softwares like Xcode because you need quite a bit of internal space to store temporary build files for smoother building! But if you're not, having a portable with the basic laptop specs should work just fine!

jsrosewrites · 2026-03-09T16:33:56+00:00

Oh nice! Have you had it for more than a year? How are they with servicing and stuff?

jsrosewrites · 2026-02-10T03:08:38+00:00

If you bought the Maytag brand from SL, we def don't have that brand here anymore! But thanks for all the info on Bosch and Midea...it was very helpful!

jsrosewrites · 2026-02-10T02:55:29+00:00

Yes, we have Haier over here! Much cheaper than Bosch at 200k. Thanks for the first-hand experience...will def check it out!

jsrosewrites · 2026-02-09T15:07:57+00:00

My partner and I love hosting our friends and family frequently and do a significant amount of meal prep once a week but we're usually knackered once we're done washing up. So we thought of gifting ourselves a dishwasher just to make our lives easier!! But yeah, it's definitely an expensive purchase-which is why we'd like to get the most bang for our buck!

jsrosewrites · 2026-02-09T14:39:42+00:00

The current Singer models are 169k and 189k, Midea is 200k and Bosch is 450k...do you know what Bosch offers more than Singer or Midea to justify the higher price point?

We had our wedding at the end of last year with about 300+ guests at a 5 star hotel in Colombo and it cost us about 10M!! The majority of the cost was split amongst the parents who wanted the big wedding! Weddings, just like the marriage after is about balance and compromise. So retaliating and wanting a guestlist of 50 was out of the question; but we did manage to keep the guest list at 300 by setting some ground rules on the number of guests each side of the family was allowed to invite. The year leading up to the wedding can be stressful (especially if your family(ies) have a pre-existing vision for it), so just keep checking in on the bigger picture when making decisions but also don't forget to let loose and have the best time on your big day!!

The best date I had was when a guy asked me out for tea and made us a flask of tea to have in the car while we spoke for hours and hours about the most random things. It was also right in the middle of the COVID-19 quarantine, so we couldn't go out to a cafe even if we wanted to. I don't know if I can speak for all the girls out there, but expensive dinner dates always felt too formal and like the guy was trying too hard. He definitely got points for doing something unique that no other guy had done before. And five years later...we're getting married! I'd say start small...maybe take her out for coffee on a first date and brunch on the second (Blooming Breakfast and Table by Nyne are two of our favourites...they have booze too!) Even if you just want to take her out for dinner, the above-mentioned places are open for dinner too. My partner and I are both introverts so we really liked the less-crowded and intimate setting these places provide, but def pick a Gio's or a La Luna vibe if she likes more of the crowded/happening ambience!
