Staedtler Luna Colour Pencils
Brilliant colours
I've always loved doing art, and colour pencils are one of my favourite mediums hands down. Staedtler Luna is one of the few colour pencils that really bring out the bright and darker colours without having that plasticky feel, allowing it to mix and blend well in between colours. 24-colours is one of the better packs to get as it has a decent number of colours to use without it being too bulky to carry around.
Vivo V7 Plus
Pretty good for its value
I had to get a new phone two months ago as my old XiaoMi phone was dying, and in a near emergency I got the Vivo V7+. I got mine during a promotion, and while I'm not entirely happy with it, it's a pretty decent phone.
Here are some things I really like about it:
- You can split screen with Smart Split 3.0, so you could watch YouTube and have WhatsApp open at the same time (not all apps can do this so be forewarned).
- App Clone is useful especially for those who need to separate their business and personal accounts (so far Facebook, WhatsApp, LINE, and Instagram works for this, I'm not sure about other apps)
- As a person who listens to music regularly, the Hi-fi chip was a real treat to listen through!
- The Gorilla Glass is really strong apparently (the person who sold us the phone was smashing the phone on the table and scratching the screen with a penknife: there was little to no damage), so that's useful for someone who drops their phone regularly.
- You do not have to stop playing games or doing things mid apps to answer a phone call if you have Background Call setup.
There are some things that I wasn't happy with but didn't find out until after I bought the phone:
- It's not waterproof, so be careful about condensation and possible water damage.
- The screen resolution is only up to 720p and does not have full HD (1080P). On the bright side, battery doesn't die as fast.
- Despite what people claim about the V7+ having Snapdragon which is probably one of the better processors, V7+ only has Snapdragon 450, which would be low-mid tier (and not quite worth the price range).
- Full view mode is automatically set for most apps, but to be honest it doesn't work as intended; most of the time the display will have edges cut out by the screen. I recommend to go to the settings to turn it off on most game apps (one by one, unfortunately).
- My phone seems to have heating issues even when I'm not playing graphics/processor heavy games.
Overall, it's a fairly decent phone; it's got a lot of great features but there are also quite a number of cons that the salespeople and even Vivo tend to gloss over.
UHU Stic Glue Stick Solvent Free
Clean and child-friendly
UHU Stic Glue Stick is probably one of the most common type of glue you'd find in primary schools, and there's good reason for it: it's really clean and easy to use, minus the spills of liquid glue. It works well enough on paper but on nothing else. You may have to apply a little more as it does have a tendency to unstick sometimes.
