I think one of the great things about shopping online is how much one click can achieve as opposed to walking 1000 steps offline to achieve the same effect.
Say, I’m shopping for clothes (as usual) and I want to look for something of a certain brand, a certain price range, I can go to a [...]
what kind of vacationer are you?
Posted on October 29, 2007 - Filed Under talk shop travel & transport | Leave a Comment
When you go on vacation, do you prefer to lie on the beach or go shopping? The minute I touch down, I’d be collecting all the brochures from the airport to the hotel, and the first thing I’d be looking for is where to shop and eat.
I know this isn’t everyone’s idea of an ideal [...]
Hawaii is not that far away

I’d love to be able to say I’ve been to Hawaii but the truth is I’ve only been as far as Honolulu Airport. The joke is I had a glimpse of the grass from the airplane window and that’s about it !
Would I love to go on a Hawaiian Vacation Kailua? You betcha. [...]
setting up a home office
Posted on October 26, 2007 - Filed Under home & garden | Leave a Comment
I have many friends who are leaving their 9-5 jobs to stay home with their kids. Since I’m one of the early ones who’ve set up a home business and now work from them, I’m considered as something of an expert when it comes to setting up a home office.
The thing is to find a [...]
get your carpets really clean

I almost never walk around barefooted on carpets. They give me an icky feeling unless they are very very clean. But frankly how do you get them clean and smelling fresh all the time?
If you live in London, you’re in luck. Sciorps Cleaning provides a specialist cleaning service for your home. Well, if you need [...]
no problem finding a parking spot

Something really good has come out of Tesco imposing parking fees. Now whenever I go there, I’m assured of a parking spot even on weekends. I’m simply loving it.
When parking was free at Tesco, people used to park their cars there and walk over to The Curve and Ikano. Since there’s a lot of ground [...]
a French shopping experience perhaps?
Posted on October 24, 2007 - Filed Under travel & transport | Leave a Comment
I’ve been round and round to all the local shopping malls, even the new ones that just opened (well, not all 3 of them yet but I’ll get around to them, I’m sure ), and you know what?
Everything is beginning to look the same - the franchise stores, the specialty stores, even the [...]
quit following me around

I know promoters are just trying to do their jobs. But do they really have to follow us around like lambs when we browse? It really irritates me.
I don’t like being pressured to buy something just because it looks interesting and I pick it up to have a closer look. Immediately I can feel the [...]
gorgeous gourmet gifts

I’ve been thinking of sending my friend in the States a Thanksgiving or Christmas gift. But sending parcels through the post office can be such a hassle and take too long. I can’t very well send food through snail mail, can I?
Yet food would be the perfect gift for my friend who loves to cook. [...]
