Bling Bling Jewelry

Every girl likes wearing fashion jewelry once a while if not everyday. I think shopping online is quite a hit right now. There is more and more online shopping website exist now because many people find online shopping convinient and fun as well. If you are interested to do shopping online but afraid that you will buy a wrong item without the sense of touch and feel, then I think buying jewelry online is a good place to start. Sometimes you may find most products sold online is not available at retail store and prices can be much cheaper too. During festive season and sale period, there is always free shipping services for online purchase too.

Gifts for boys

Today I would like to talk about gifts for boys. You may think it is a lot easier to buy gifts for girls because of the wide range of toys, clothes, beauty products and accessories fit for every girl available in the market today, this has cloud many people's judgement on how easily to find a gift that fit mostly every boys too. How about wrapping up a baseball set as a gift to your son, or cousin, or nephew, or friend's son, or neighbour's son, or whoever's son for a Birthday/ Christmas gift for a change? Baseball set is a great gift especially from a father to a son because it promotes special bonding of father and son when they could have fun enjoying the game together. A basket ball is a nice thoughful gift for boys too.

Besides sport items, you can think of giving away collectibles and memorabilia too. I know at some point of every boy's age, they are crazy about some collectible cards, or action figures collections, or comic books, or any collectibles item that you can think of. So, it would be great if you know what they obsess about during that time. If you are able to get those collectible items for them as a present on special occasion, they will think you are awsome and remember you for life. It is one of the way to capture a boy's heart.

Another cateogry of gifts for boys that you won't go wrong is video games of course. Who doesn't like playing vidoe games? Even grown ups does. There are many selections of video games in the market now. There are home console type video games, or the handheld systems such as PSP or DS Lite game system. If you are particular about the brands there are Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony and other smaller brands to choose from. Or if they already has the video game system in place, you can buy them the some new and hip vidoe games card for them to add into their own collection of games.

Startrite School Shoes

Following the post I wrote yesterday, I still remember vividly on the ideal black school shoes design which I had envisioned but I never had. It should have a sleek, stylish design and comfortable too. Just like the one on the picture at the top left corner of this post. On the picture is a Startrite School Shoes for girls, model - Hot Fuss available in black leather and brown leather. I don't think we have this brand in Malaysia but we can order them through the Internet now. Well, that's my childish tiny little desire which I had during my school days. What's yours?

I would also like to write more on the importance of choosing the right school shoes for your kids. Because their bones has not been fully developed yet until they are in their late teens, it is important to have your children's feet properly measured so that you can buy school shoes that fit them properly. There are a few common children's foot health issues. They are "toe walking", "Pigeon toes", "Toeing-out", "Bow-legged and knock-kneed", and "Sweaty feet". Most of these foot health issues on children goes away naturally as they gets older. To know more, you may visit http://www.startriteshoes.com or consult your doctor.

Health issues, of course is an important factor to look out for when buying school shoes for your children because they are wearing them for more than 8 hours a day during the weekdays. Besides considering the comfort level when selecting a pair of school shoes, we will usually look at the quality, design, and style too. Many a times we found a nice design shoes but it is lacking in comfort or vise versa. Startrite school shoes can accomodate all the criteria of comfort, style, good leather quality and offers many good designs to choose from. There is where you can find a good pair of school shoes for your children.

School shoes with style and comfort

One thing about schooling during the primary and secondary level, besides having school uniform to comply with we need to follow the school standard of wearing school shoes too. The school where I studied, similarly with the majority public school in Malaysia requires me to wear white school shoes. But I noticed some school especially those private schools who has their own sets of school uniform, had all their students wear black school shoes. I think black is cool. I had complained to my mom on why I have to wear white, not black. Being a young and stuborn child, I tried to accept reluctantly the rules and regulations which the school has set for us that is we have to wear white school shoes.

I am fussy about choosing the right school shoes those days. Not only then, even now I would make a big fuss about buying shoes for any occassion. I would go round and round visiting many stores before I finally decided on buying the pair I like. Sometimes it takes me weeks or months to do the scouting. I look for style and comfort even when it involved buying school shoes those days. To me, style always comes first and comfort, second. Price doesn't matter to me but it matters to my parents because they are the one who pays for them. It's really nice being a kid. You don't have to fork out money to get what you wanted. When I chose my school shoes, I was tempted to try on the black ones although I am only allowed to choose the white ones. I had debated with my mom on why I would want a black school shoes instead of white. I came out with a list of "black vs white" school shoes.

• White always looks dirty no matter how often I clean it.
• I do not need to clean my school shoes that often if it is black (this shows that I am lazy in witholding my responsibility of cleaning my own shoes those days...)
• Black looks more elegant compare to white ones
• In primary school, they all likes to play "shoes stepping" and I would not be afraid if others step on my shoes if it is black (back to showing I am lazy to wash my shoes).

Shopping for wedding gifts

This comming September 2008 is a popular month for getting married especially for Chinese couple. I have a colleague invited me for her wedding early next month but unfortunately I am not able to attend. So, I intend to buy her a wedding gift instead. I seldom shop for wedding gift because when I attend the wedding dinner, I usually gave red packets as the usual Chinese custom. So, I have no idea what to buy as a wedding gift for this colleague of mine.

I had some free time during office hour lunch hour, so I decided to look for some gift ideas on the home section of a departmental store. I also had time to visit one famous wedding gift store located at the mega mall just near by my office. Since my colleague is quite young, I think I should look for a wedding gift for young couple. Bed sheets set, flatware, dinnerware and kitchen tools are among some of the ideas I am thinking of getting them.

I was also thinking of maybe buying a nice sculpture decoration as a wedding gift. I went to a gift store and saw a really nice one. It's a sculpture of an angel praying, size is just nice as I had envisioned it and it is off-white in colour. The gift is beautiful and I almost bought it but I did not because gift as such is not very practical. I prefer to go for something practical when buying gift for someone including wedding gifts. I think I will decide on getting a nice bed sheets set for my colleague's wedding. I think she'll love it. Besides, it is close to the budget that I had in mind. Also, when I have no idea on what to buy as a gift, the internet is full of gift ideas that could guide me along to choose a suitable gifts for my family and friends.

Online shopping - Home Medical Supplies

Recently I like to browse online shopping website to do some research on the things I want to buy. It is so convenient now a days where I could just search for items by designs, colours, types, functionality, item popularity, etc., and I will get some ideas on what I should look for when I go shopping. Being a fussy person, it takes me quite some time to actually buy something. I would spend endless hour or maybe months just to look all over the places to buy my stuff.

Sometimes, I also like to do my shopping online too. Through friends recommendations, I found some nice online shopping websites for clothes, bags and accessories. I have also tried to search the website for health and medical related information. I am suffering from a skin condition/allergy called Eczema. So, most of the medical information that I search over the internet is related to this. I had tried using the ointment bought from local pharmacy for treating Eczema but it does not work as well as the one the Skin Specialist provided long time ago. It was hard to make appointment to see my Skin Specialist so I resort to seeking medical help through GP and local pharmacy. Perhaps buying my home medical equipment online could be the next best thing. I can also order Exercise Ball for me to start exercising, a Blood Pressure Monitor for my dad, health books for my mom, Hand Exerciser and Stress Ball for my siblings. All these home medical equipment I can purchase online through the website such as AllegroMedical.com

My new shoes!

I bought a pair of new shoes yesterday at Metrojaya sales. It was my first pair of Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club shoes. I have been eyeing on their classy display of shoes design for quite some time but couldn't bring myself out for an impulse purchase. But now I finally own one and thanks to all that special discounts during the sale season. Moreover, I really need another pair of working cum outing shoes now to replace my pair of old rugged shoe. It only cost me RM39.95 for a pair of good shoes. Don't we all love sales? And, oh! I am wearing it to work today. Love it!

I want a new bed

I have been sleeping on the same bed for 20 years. I would like to have a new bed to replace the old one because I prefer a more modern look and design. Besides, my current bed was picked by my mom and I have been sleeping in it for the past 29 years. How many of us would have the opportunity to pick our own bed when we were young? If you have, wow! It was really a great opportunity. After all, you are the one who are going to be sleeping on it whether you like it or not.

Well, if I were to buy a new bed, I would choose Henly - upholstered beds because of its has a modern edge, has an impressive outline of the beds silhouette and a very smart contemporary looking headboard without the curve edge which I prefers the most. Another thing I like about this bed design I can have in built drawers for easy storage. It's not only practical, but also reduce my workload of having the need to do cleaning under the bed because with this design, there is minimal need to clean under the bed. Well, maybe I can hold on to this ideal and wait till I'm married. Shopping for a new home then would be a great fun. If I'm staying in a cold country, a Leather Beds would be nice too.

Electronic item wish list

Since my work correspondence has been becoming more globalized. Most of my work involved around servicing clients from the UK and US countries, therefore there is an increasing need for me to have my own notebook computer so that I could have the flexibility to work at home during those odd working hours. Currently I am still using the normal desktop PC at the office. My company usually provides DELL business notebook computer but I wish to have my own and I am eyeing on the new Sony VAIO notebook since it launches. I like it’s sleek and stylish design with many colour of choice to choose from.

Thinking about electronic items, it reminds me that I should buy an extra television set at home for my mom. Being kind hearted in nature, my mom rather sacrifice her desire to watch her own choice of TV channel and let us watch whet ever pleases us. So I think it is best that I surprise her with a new TV just for her some time soon. And it would be great if I could find one which offers a free ASTRO installation that comes with the product purchased, so that my mom could enjoy all the nice satellite TV channel when she retires from work.

Shop till you drop!

It has been quite long since I last heard anyone saying this phrase “shop till you drop”. I used to hear it a lot during my college years as those were the times where I spend most of my free time shopping with friends or even done it alone almost every weekends. The funny thing is I had a lot more money to spend while I was studying comparing to my time now where I am earning my own money. Duh! It was really not that fun spending our own hard earned money; I guess that is why it seems I had a lot less money to spend now. Is there anyone else agree on this? Well, the phrase “shop till you drop” no longer express the state that I am now. Not sure if it still applies to my friends though. I do wonders whether my friends still shop heavily especially during those crazy sales time.

No matter what the financial state is, I believe every women likes shopping. Perhaps, it is only during those sales season there would be more “shop till you drop” activities going on around us. That’s why we see many shopping places are so crowded during that time of the year and people usually looks for discounts items. We may think it’s wise to buy those discounts items but beware that some shops might have marked up the prices before it were being sold at a lower price during sale period. When you know that you get con, it’s not really a wise move to buy those discounts items after all.

There is always this need to look for best deal items or best buy items lurking around in our hearts sometimes if not every time. Well, if you are extremely rich then price is not the matter. Never the less, when it comes to shopping, girls will go ga-ga over it. We love to compare items and prices too. No matter how difficult to get the item, we will still go after it and find a way to get it. Now it is even easier to shop with internet being so convenient to all of us. There are many housewives who do online shopping too. With having more and more online shopping websites offering more selections and low prices, perhaps online shopping would be the new “shop till you drop” place in the near future. Well, generally girls love shopping. So guys, get over with it, okay?

Shopping for HDTV

My mom wish to have another TV at home. We already had one in the living room but due to us always booked in front of the TV whenever we are home, my mom couldn’t watch her choice of TV program because she always gave in. Well, myself and my siblings would like to buy another TV for her too. Perhaps buying a HDTV would be good. If we could get one with great deal offer, that would be wonderful.

Browsing through the internet on pricing and HDTV information, I came across SecondAct.com which is an online retailer for HDTVs and related products. They are most likely the lowest cost provider of it on the internet because their products are factory refurbished, factory closeouts and overstocks, end-of-life, open box and more. Many good quality product brands such as JVC, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, Denon, Marantz, Hitachi and more, are being sold there.

I also find that products sold at SecondAct.com are really a great deal offer. The best thing is they not only sell lower priced items, they have further discount for a single item for a period of 24 hours which the deal changes daily. To ensure that buyers doesn’t miss out any great daily deal, buyers can sign up to receive it via email or RSS.

Low priced eyeglasses

I once had a friend who worked in an optical shop. I remembered him mentioning to me that a frame for glasses could be sold for price above 100% from its manufacturing price. This is true and it is what all consumers have to pay for a pair of glasses when you buy it from any optical shop. The good news is you can purchase low priced frames from ZenniOptical.com. The secret to their low prices is because they sell their own manufactured frames directly to consumers, without middleman and no advertising budget. Zenni Optical: Sell Rx Glasses $8 with case!

Dishwasher

Not many of us could afford a dishwasher here. I hate washing the dishes. But I am stilling living with my mom, so my mom would do most of the dish washing whenever I skip doing it. It’s not a good thing to have my mom do all the housework, I know. Sorry, I am just plain lazy in terms of doing housework. Thank goodness we hired two house cleaners to help up in cleaning the house every Saturday weekend. Compare to doing it ourselves, we had more housework being done but with a price to pay of course.

When I have my own home in the future, I do wish to own a dishwasher if that is possible. I heard that LG dishwasher is not a bad choice. That of course, I should probably consider buying a house which has a reasonable space to fit my LG dishwasher. It will definitely save me a lot of time and I can avoid most of the dish washing chores which I hate.

Why I prefer LG dishwasher is because I like their stylish design and great features. Better features come with a higher price of course, which all brands does. And I saw some pretty good customer reviews and ranking on wize.com

Help at home

Being a housewife is not an easy job. Unless you have a maid or two to help up with the housework, it is quite impossible to clean up the whole house in one day. Well, but that also depending on how big the house is. As a housewife does not always a bead of roses where by you could have an uncountable amount of time to do your own things, go shopping or indulge in your favorite past time hobby.

Finally got my new phone!

I have finally went and bought my dream phone today. Yippy!!! After waited for almost a year, I have finally put into action of buying it now. I am so happy. I have waited for the price to go down but it doesn’t seem to go any further down anymore unless there is a newer version of this model that comes out in the market. And I do not want a second-hand phone. I want it new. So, after much patience and anticipation, I have now bought it, fully paid with cash. There goes all my remaining small amount of bonus salary that I got from December 2007 income. *Sob~Sob~ But I am happy that I got my dream phone now.

From now on I can freely take pictures whenever I like and post it on my blog. That’s the reason I chose a phone with Cyber-Shot feature that gives mobile imaging that’s just as good as digital camera. With this phone, I can even take the picture and send it straight to my blog. And I can even edit the picture on my mobile if it needed some editing. I do not need any other features like 3G or better mega pixel phone. I feel it’s a waste to have bought something that you do not use it. So, this Sony Ericsson K550i model is the best option for me. This is the best gift that I have bought for myself after so many years.

Shopping success!

After many failed attempt to shop for anything the past few days, I finally bought something yesterday. I bought a nice keychain (see picture on the left) from ROOM, a shop selling nice and cute interior room items. The keychain is in the shape of a golf club. My company department is having a small Christmas eves party on the 24th December and we are having gift exchange session too. So, this keychain is my gift for the exchange. I wonder who will get it and whether they will like it or not. I have window shop around for almost a week before deciding what gift to get. Oh! Why do I even bother about that since many don’t even bother what they are buying for the gift exchange as long as it is within the stipulated budget. Hmm…. That’s typical human thinking. I was once like that too but somehow, I beg to differ this time.

After I bought the keychain, I still have time to shop around for some other things. I stop by a few shops selling women’s clothing, trying to look for a suitable blouse as Christmas gift for my mom. But I ended buying a nice pretty dress and a skirt for myself instead! It was unplanned but I saw that there is big discount and I found one really nice dress from Urban & Co. The normal price selling at RM 189, now less 70%. With a few wedding dinner coming this month up to February next year, this purchase on impulse pretty much justifies my action. Hahaha…. As for the skirt, it only cost me RM 39 (normal price RM 129). Then I head over to Metrojaya to buy the necklace that I have considered it for a few days. This necklace will goes with the blouse and skirt I am wearing for a friend’s wedding dinner tomorrow.

So, that’s what I have managed to buy so far. Well, it’s not much but it’s a start. I still have many other Christmas gift items to buy. Year end shopping money goes out like water. The only good news is, it’s Year End Sale time and it is Christmas time where we spread our love around and give gifts with good tidings!
