We went to the second night of Fashion On 1 where they were launching the DKNY Jeans collection as well as their new store at 1 Utama.
We went there late on purpose because after our experience from the first day, we didn’t relish having to wait while the guests took their sweet time to stroll [...]

As I was walking past a couple of goldsmith shops the other day, I was reminded that gold is actually a great form of investment.
I remember learning in history about how the Egyptians, the Romans and the Greeks have been trading in gold for centuries. Interesting concept but I’m sure only the affluent can actually [...]

Yesterday was a long day and frankly I didn’t think we’d make it to Fashion On 1’s Fashion Gala at 1 Utama last night. But we rushed through dinner and got there with some minutes to spare.
But at 7pm, the invited guests were just starting to stream in. We got fed up of waiting and [...]

Have you noticed how the prices of everything are sneaking up on us, some imported items by as much as 100%? It’s crazy so I guess this is as good a time as any to be looking around for ways to save.
Cutting back on nice-to-have’s is one way, yes, but have you also looked at [...]

Yay, the weekend is here! It’s almost time to pick up Raine from her tutor’s. And speaking of rain, it’s been pouring outside and it being a Friday night, I just know traffic is going to be heavy especially after a downpour.
I’ve promised to take the kids out to dinner and at the same time, [...]

Did you go to the PC Fair last weekend? Weren’t the crowds just crazy?
I mean it’s like a pilgrimage that folks make to the biennial fair to grab all the geeky merchandise they can get their hands on.
