Review of products and services were used to be left to the experts. But these days, with the introduction of services like Blog2U.sg and Yebber, bloggers are now tasked to do reviews for various things like gadgets, food, shops and etc. Popular bloggers are even headhunted to do reviews for various companies.
I am not famous enough to have companies approach me to do reviews but I need to practice so that when the time comes, I SHALL BE READY!!!

Review of FP’s Soft White Facial Tissues
FP is a well known household brand that every Singaporean can identify with. And so it was with great pleasure when a spokesperson from FP called me up last week.
“Harlo?”
“Yes?”
“Is this er… er… KISS-SEND-DO?”
“Er…. its KRISANDRO.”
“Aiya, same same lar.”
“Who is this?”
“Ah! My name is Ah Kow! And I got good news for you.”
“Not interested…. KThxBye!”
*CLICK*
.
A few minutes later….
“HARLO!”
“Yes?”
“AH KOW HERE! WHY YOU CUT THE LINE?”
“I don’t like telemarketers.”
“I AM NOT LAR! I am from FP! And we want to ask you to review a product!”
“Orh… say so earlier lar”
“MACIAM I GOT CHANCE TO SAY EARLIER.”
“Okay, okay… Anyway, why you all find me?”
“Oh… we compiled a list of the top 5,000 bloggers in Singapore and we approach the ones from the top lor.”
“Okay! Sounds good!”
“Yah… but we keep kena rejected by all of them. So I don’t wanna waste time. I called from the bottom instead lor. Last name was yours.”
*CLICK*
.
Anyway, I accepted their offer eventually and got the product through the mail.
At first look, I found that the packaging was simple and everyone can carry the tissue around without being ashamed, unlike those cartoon-ish ones. It might be a little on the feminine side but there is a little gayness in everyone for the tissue paper to be accepted.
Next up was the probably the most important in any proper tissue paper review. The softness of the tissue paper. You don’t want to have a nice meal and then wiping your face with a tissue paper to only find out that the tissue paper is as soft as an industrial grade sandpaper.
[Image from here]
And since the word “Soft” is written with 50 pt font size on the packaging, it better be so.
After countless wiping of my mouth with the tissue paper, there was no signs of abrasion. I decided to take it a step further and dig my left nostril repeatedly with the tissue. I did not bleed nor had any abrasion but my left nostril seems to be larger than my right this morning. The things a blogger will sacrifice for a review for you readers. *Sigh *
Unlike some other companies who are boasting about their tissue papers being ‘3-ply’, FP decided to stick with ‘2-ply’ tissues.
I applaud their decision based on the following benefits.
1. The package is 33.333333333333333334% lighter than 3-ply tissues
2. It is much easier to FLING the lighter tissue paper on seats to CHOP seats
3. Using 2-ply tissue paper to dig your nose is less damaging than using 3-ply
.
Every product always has a big claim on their products. Like “BEST IN THE WORLD”, “NUMBER #1 IN SINGAPORE”, “LEADING BRAND IN….” or “GUARANTEED TO….. IN 3 DAYS!”. FP is no different, and their claim on the tissue paper is that….
.
… each package got 10 Sheets.
To make sure you readers don’t get cheated, I counted the number of sheets in the package for 254 times to make sure that they really had the amount that they claim.
They were honest.
In conclusion, FP made a great product with a very classy designed packaging. Users will find that the softness of the tissue paper will lose out to their 3-ply rivals but it makes up with its reduced weight. And most important of all, it delivered its promise.
10 Sheets. No More. No Less.
