With so many cheap and even free air tickets on offer these days, have you thought of going on vacation? Lots of people undoubtedly are grabbing these offers like there’s no tomorrow.

not a plastic bag

It seems to be the trend now for malls to discourage the use of plastic bags by offering you a chance to redeem a fabric shopping bag for a minimum purchase of a certain amount.
Nice going. I really like the idea. I redeemed one recently from 1 Utama. Granted it’s not the best looking bag [...]

For the past week, I’ve been wearing a sleeveless golf shirt to my gym workouts. I’m not sure if anyone has noticed or if they’re laughing behind my back. At any rate, I don’t quite care.
The Nike golf shirts are what DH bought me from Japan. He’s always harbored secret hopes that there’s a golfer [...]

Whoa, is it wedding season again? Seems like it’s a trend these days and everyone is trying to outdo each other in terms of originality - of gowns, flowers and venues.

Posted on February 21, 2008 - Filed Under talk shop | Leave a Comment
Okay, here’s an interesting question - how do you know you’re a shopaholic? We don’t have stamps on our foreheads, and not all of us have ’shop till you drop’ bumper stickers.
I think I’ve just found the answer to this question. I’m looking for a pair of jeans that I bought last year, never wore [...]

I have to admit I’m a sucker for wedge heels. Love ‘em, love ‘em, love ‘em. Except I prefer to be a slop most days and can’t be bothered with walking tall and looking proper.
But some days, I do like to dress up when I go shopping. So wedges are perfect and I really am [...]

These days, if you’re in a fairly large service business or work for one, you’ve just got to have a call center service, preferably one that’s web-based considering how many folks hang out on the internet.

instant butter cake

With all good intentions, I bought ingredients to bake a butter cake. The girls were going to help me and frankly, I thought it’d be nice to have at least a homemade cake for Chinese New Year.
But as it turned out, we didn’t even have bothered. We could’ve just as easily bought one from the [...]
what to do if you bought the wrong shade of loose powder?
Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under clair's closet fashion & style | Leave a Comment
I’ve just realized what a mistake I made with buying my loose powder. I’ve always bought powder that’s one shade lighter than my skin tone, as all the magazines suggest.
Recently I decided that I’d gotten a bit more tanned than I used to be. I don’t know what gave me that idea. But it made [...]
