At a wedding we attended last weekend, someone at our table seems to believe that the sharks’ fin soup that’s served, usually as a second course, are still made with real sharks’ fin.
I think I read somewhere that harvesting sharks for their fins is now illegal. And rightly so too. It’s a most inhumane thing [...]

This post was supposed to have been published the day after Wesak Day. I honestly thought I’d hit the ‘publish’ button but apparently not because I just found this still sitting draft. Duh!
At any rate, we got to the temple early on Wesak Day. Of course, our idea of early doesn’t even come close to [...]

As I watched the fashion shows recently, I was wondering if any of those beautiful young models submitted their photos to Look of the Year. It’s an online beauty contest where they could win $10,000.
Even if they don’t win themselves the grand price, they stand a very good chance of being spotted by a modelling [...]

If you’re at loose ends this weekend, or a little before even, go check out the Mother’s Day sales that many stores are running right now.
I’m not a big fan of Mother’s Day. Too commercialized. But I wouldn’t mind browsing to see if I can pick up something I need that’s going at a discount.

I’ve just read that there’s going to be a career fair coming up soon at Midvalley Megamall’s Convention Center where you can go, get interviewed on the spot and land a job if you pass.
It sounds pretty interesting considering how much red tape that cuts through as opposed to the conventional means of applying and [...]

Tropicana Life has a pretty nice collection of casual wear, as you can see in this photo. Who would’ve guessed that even military-themed clothing could make a fashion statement? But apparently they do.
I actually enjoy browsing their store and found some pretty cool t-shirts and accessories for gifts. They can be pretty pricey though… er, [...]

Life’s been one fashion show after another these past two weeks. Did you manage to catch any around town? We didn’t go around to all the malls. It was a case of so many fashion shows, so little time.
We liked Fashion On 1 from last year. The concept of hourly fashion shows is definitely a [...]

I’ll bet many of you are like me. You think giving flowers is a waste of money because flowers typically wilt in days and then there’s nothing much you can do with it except turn them into dried flowers.
Maybe I’m getting older and wiser . But I’m starting to think flowers have this unique [...]

The girls and I and even the guys, Steev and DH, were at the Fashion On 1 fashion shows over the weekend. In fact, if you’re at loose ends this weekend, you can still catch the hourly fashion show which are still on at One Utama.
Promod’s collection (below) featured casual wear with an emphasis on [...]
