if Scrooge bought a Corvette
Posted on December 29, 2007 - Filed Under home & garden | Leave a Comment
I’ve just heard a funny story about how a neighbor of mine saves money. He’s such a Scrooge he scrimps on every cent and hardly buys anything.
Like when his daughter’s car got bashed up in an accident, he hammered out the dents himself, got a can of paint and painted the patch back by hand.
I [...]
the worst thing about holiday get-togethers
Posted on December 29, 2007 - Filed Under home & garden | Leave a Comment
I think the worst thing about the holiday season and family get-togethers is just how much time I have to waste listening to friends and relatives boast.
You think you only see these people like once or twice a year and that surely you can tolerate an evening with them. Apparently even a couple of hours [...]
gold a better option?

I remember as a kid, it was typically at around this time of year when I would tag along with my folks to the goldsmith’s shop to look at, and perhaps buy some jewelry items to wear during Chinese New Year.
In those days before the popularity and abundance of costume jewelry choices, ‘real’ gold was [...]
another trip to the Pavilion

We just got back from the Pavilion. Yes, we love the Food Republic for its wide variety of food choices so I decided to drive the kids downtown just to eat at there. Crazy, I know but…
The Food Republic was bustling with hungry people. As usual, we had a hard time deciding what to eat. [...]
new hybrid search engine
Posted on December 28, 2007 - Filed Under technology | 1 Comment
Who can blame us for shopping around for another search engine after Big G’s recent crackdown on the little bloggers like us?
And not a moment too soon either that I found EarthFrisk, the first hybrid meta social Search Engine of its kind.
What’s interesting is that EarthFrisk.org combines search results from Google, Yahoo, MSN and others. [...]
fever but not the shopping kind
Posted on December 24, 2007 - Filed Under talk shop | Leave a Comment
I’ve been down with the flu and fever the past few days. That absolutely sucks especially when I just want to be out and about enjoying the spirit of Christmas.
Today I’m feeling a little better. My head is throbbing only intermittently now and my fever seems to have subsided. I’m finally able to drag myself [...]
shopping for an online degree?
Posted on December 20, 2007 - Filed Under mixed bag | Leave a Comment
While this is the season to go shopping for gifts, it’s also a popular time of year to be out shopping for a new job after you get that bonus.
Some people I know, however, are opting to go back to school to improve their chances of a job promotion. No, they’re not planning to quit [...]
Sunway Pyramid’s new extension mall
Posted on December 20, 2007 - Filed Under shopping places | Leave a Comment
We made a mad dash into Sunway Pyramid’s new extension mall the other day. It was pouring elephants and donkeys and we were late for a lunch appointment. So I don’t have any photos to share with you.
The place is the maze it has always been. We found the restaurant location from the directory but [...]
for the plus-sized woman
Posted on December 18, 2007 - Filed Under talk shop | Leave a Comment
I’ve started noticing that certain stores have plus-sized sections for women these days. At least there’s some fashionable choices for bigger women now. I’m not sure where they would’ve gone to buy their clothes before, maybe they had them tailored.
But now at least there are choices though not many in the lingerie department. If shipping [...]
