I love warehouse sales but not in this kind of weather. Can you imagine breathing in the haze in one of those open-door warehouses with barely-there air-conditioning?
Okay so while we’re fighting the heat and haze, we mustn’t forget that warehouse sales are mostly aimed to clearing old stock, outdated or discontinued product lines, sometimes even [...]

Here’s part of my eco-friendly bag collection.
I’ve got more like these here in a whole range of different colors and sizes. I got them all for free from different companies and frankly I don’t mind doing a bit of free advertising for them in support of their being socially responsible.
I had no idea I have [...]

The Pikom PC Fair is here again. In fact, it starts today and ends on August 3, 2008 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center from 11:00am - 9:00pm.

I’ve been rushing around last weekend as usual, picking up and dropping off my kids, doing my groceries…I didn’t think much of it although there’s this nagging feeling in the back of my mind that every time I step into my car, I’m burning gas and money!
It was hard not to notice though that compared [...]

I was out shopping for a baby gift the other day. It’s been a long time since I bought baby stuff since my kids are all teens now. I couldn’t believe how expensive some of the items are. Well, not that they were cheap back then, but they certainly didn’t cost as much.

I’ve never had a day out without food being involved somehow. I mean, how can you crawl the malls and not feel hungry and then decide to get a bite to eat? Only problem is quite often, that bite to eat turns into a full-fledged meal of some sort.

It never ceases to amaze me how some women can spend all day in their heels. Doesn’t it make you want to keel over at some point? Well, I guess maybe practice makes perfect.
I certainly couldn’t do it. That’s why I stick to flats when I’m on the go. Not flip-flops though, I’m pretty hopeless [...]

The weekend is almost here. This means I need to go get my groceries done. I used to do my groceries on weekends because there seems to be better bargains and promotions and food sampling. Yes, gotta love stuffing yourself silly with mini-portions of whatever they hand out to you.
But Friday seems to be a [...]
