yay for the wedding gift list

Posted on March 31, 2008 - Filed Under events gift ideas | Leave a Comment

These days, it’s not uncommon for a soon-to-be-married couple to draw up a list of their desired Wedding Gifts to help their friends and family select a gift for them.
This is such a practical idea I don’t know why it didn’t take off sooner . Culturally I think it’s probably regarded as being a [...]

light up your home for less

Posted on March 24, 2008 - Filed Under home & garden | Leave a Comment

So let’s just saying you’re going to be remodeling, right? I’d say do everything at one go.
I have a friend who likes to remodel in bits and pieces. I don’t quite understand the rationale behind that except maybe to spread the cost over a period of time.
But just think of the hassle, I mean, the [...]

greet your guests with a classy door handle

Posted on March 23, 2008 - Filed Under home & garden | Leave a Comment

Don’t let anyone tell you that you should settle for a less than classy door handle or door knob. I mean, it’s the first thing a guest notices when they come visit you.
Having a rickety old door handle doesn’t speak well for your home no matter how beautifully furnished it may be inside.
Baldwin is not [...]

Frankly I always thought it’s our modern-day nutrition that’s producing bigger women. But not so, according to a girl friend of mine believes that many women these days are endowed with saline breast implants.
Apparently celebs aren’t the only ones who choose to enhance their assets this way these days. Heck, even the girl next door [...]

Steev had a ball at the Stylo KL Fashion Festival last weekend. He’s done a number of photo shoots before but not one as international as this. So naturally he was very excited and made it a point to be there on opening night as well as the second night.

exercise at home? er, not me!

Posted on March 15, 2008 - Filed Under sports & fitness | Leave a Comment

Some of the so-called home exercise equipment seem more like jokes to me. You know, the belt-like ones that jiggle your tummy back into shape, or the bucking bronco (this is the funniest) chair that’s supposed to, well, I don’t know what it’s supposed to do except make you feel like you’re about to be [...]

stinky public restrooms

Posted on March 15, 2008 - Filed Under talk shop | Leave a Comment

If I know I’m going to be out shopping, I always make sure I don’t drink too much water. Let’s just say it’s a habit that’s been cultivated from when I was young. Wierd, I know, the lengths some people like me would go to to avoid using dirty public restrooms.

Although I love to shop, one of the things that really has me stumped is looking for gift ideas. You know the problem of figuring out something that you think the person will like or have a use for.

such a klutz

I was out with the kids this morning to grab a quick breakfast at McDonald’s after a long, hard workout at the gym when … guess what?
