While I was out shopping during the year-end holidays, I signed up for a credit card at the mall. It’s not like me to sign up on a whim like that. But I was in a good mood that day and the 101 discounts I apparently stand to get from my favorite stores sounded pretty [...]

eyeglasses galore

Raine will be needing a new pair of prescription glasses soon. To be honest, I sometimes dread helping her find the perfect frame because the supply at our usual optical store is so limited and it’s going to burn a hole in my wallet again.
But I’ve made a Great Discovery: www.ZenniOptical.com where they have a [...]

We went to 1 Utama last night and were surprised that their center court decoration is not up yet for Chinese New Year. Hmm. They’re kinda late this year, I think.
Outside they’ve taken up the entire road to set up a stage so happily, something must be brewing. Concerts! Not really our cup of tea [...]

Have you ever walked into an office which makes you feel claustrophobic because the desks are so piddly small and piled high with papers and binders and boxes?
Yikes, I was at the bank today and peeked into their back office. I couldn’t see anyone because .. well, they were all hidden behind the mile-high clutter [...]

I’ve got a pendant just like this one only it’s a Japanese slipper with multi-colored stones.
I love it like crazy because it’s so cute and rare (you don’t see many like that around).
I found this one online at MySolitaire.com and I’m thinking, wow, it looks so much classier in platinum!
Not that I don’t love my [...]

A friend returned recently from China with some gifts for my kids. Steev got a Patek Philippe watch (or should I say, timepiece!!) with a 24-hour display and a precision moon phase mechanism from their Men’s Grand Complication collection.
Well, of course, we knew right off that it’s an imitation because we know the circumstances behind [...]

Chinese New Year is less than a month away. Gosh, I didn’t realize how close we are. One very important thing we need to get done before CNY is spring-cleaning.
Spring-cleaning is basically a tradition to get rid of the old so that the new and better can enter. It’s akin to chasing away the bad [...]

the color red

Chinese New Year is going full swing at the mall. I was there today and the color red is everywhere. Thank goodness there aren’t too many Chinese New Year songs being played. Those songs drive me nuts! Seriously. I can’t think when they’re blasting away.
Aargh, Chinese New Year. I try to keep a low profile [...]

The new year is here and I’m sure many of you are starting new, better paying jobs. Some of you may have been thinking about it since last year but haven’t been able to secure that dream job you’re after.
I think in many cases, paper qualifications can be a big boost in getting you where [...]
