What’s up with the massage chairs that all the shopping malls seem to be featuring in their center courts? There seems to be more and more people making a beeline for these chairs and plonking themselves down for a free test drive.
And then all along the fringes of the display area are these eager promoters [...]

I’d love to design my own jewelry if I could get my hands on some loose diamonds. The off the shelf designs sometimes don’t cut it for me.
Happiness is knowing that A&W Diamonds, a Loose Diamond Wholesaler is now making their stock directly available to consumers like you and me. With the middleman out of [...]
benches and breaks

Have you noticed that many of the newer shopping malls have benches on every floor? Not too long ago, you could walk a whole day at the mall and not find a single bench.
The only places where they had chairs were the restaurants. You couldn’t bring the older folks because if they got tired, they’d [...]
dressed to the nines

Fashion is one thing but what I don’t understand is why some mothers dress their little daughters up like Las Vegas showgirls. Well, okay, maybe I’m exaggerating just a little.
Granted that we were at a kiddy party but if you saw these poor girls, you’d see how uncomfortable they look all dressed up to the [...]

When it comes to shopping for service providers, do you usually search online or in newspapers? I usually ask around my friends for their recommendation of a good provider they’ve used before.
For instance, I once dealt with a realtor for many years before I found out that she had been cheating me on the commission. [...]

After my somewhat lacklustre Oktoberfest experience last weekend, I wish I could go to Germany for the real thing. But surely the hotels in Germany will be packed with tourists at this time, all there to experience Oktoberfest. Wow, I can just imagine the merry making.
My girl friend tells me that if you go to [...]

Fancy shopping for a house plan? Bet it’s not very often that you hear of such a thing, eh? We shop for houses, yes. And if we want our own design of a house, we sit down with an architect.
But did you know you can go to HousePlansAndMore.com and shop for a house plan that [...]
Oktoberwhat?

We got to the Oktoberfest a little after 6pm last Sunday evening. So we were only an hour late but guess what? All of the rm1 German beers had been sold out.
Sold out? After just one hour into the event? Are you kidding me? I don’t think that was very nice at all considering that [...]
Down Under’s theme park central

The last time we were in Brisbane, we stayed in one of the hotels in Brisbane while waiting to meet up with other family members.
As usual, we’d flown in without any prior reservations on our Brisbane accommodation. Yep, we like the suspense of not knowing if we’re going to be sleeping in a nice comfy [...]
