Happy New Year!

The holiday is finally over as the leftovers are gone, and I have made couple new year's resolutions which I will not publish here just in case I fail, however I have learned a new trick in the new year and I will share that instead. See, sometimes I forget that I have left the stove on and the smoke detector goes off as food is burnt, and this is very annoying because it keeps beeping for a long time even after the accident is taken care of, as smoke doesn't dissipate all that fast even with good ventilation. The new trick I have learnt is to simply take the batteries out of the smoke detector, and this will render it inactive, no more annoying beeping sounds. The human nose is at least as good as the smoke detector anyway, this is proven by the fact that in the past I have noticed the smoking scent everytime before the smoke detector actually went off, including this afternoon, so the smoke detector is very much useless. I hope this trick will help whoever reads my blogs. Also I feel it is necessary to warn those who intend to use this trick, for some smoke detectors are connected to house power supply directly in addition to the batteries, and might electricute whoever tinker with them if they don't know what they are doing. Happy new year everyone!
