Christmas gift idea #14 – foot spa machine

by Penny on December 16, 2008

A foot spa machine seems like a great Christmas gift for mom and dad. Whilst Ogawa and Osim are all out to encourage you to spend thousands on one of their massage chairs, I think we don’t really want to spend that kind of money these days. The next best thing we can buy for [...]

The latter seems to be recommended by many and I’m [...]

by Penny on October 12, 2008

For some time now I’ve been thinking and eyeing an upgrade of my camera from a semi-SLR to a DSLR. I window shopped and got to try out the Canon EOS 450D in action. It was my first handling of a DSLR. It felt good and I was even more convinced that a DSLR is [...]

Petit Terraillon products for the modern mummy

by Penny on October 12, 2008

When I was pregnant, I was told much about brands like Avent and Pigeon for equipment like the steriliser, bottle and food warmer. Since they came highly recommended, we just went ahead with these brands without doing much research on my own. After owning the necessary equipment, I started to come across this brand called [...]

Canon or Nikon DSLR?

by Penny on October 6, 2008

I’m currently using a semi-SLR by Nikon, the Coolpix5000 series. After playing around with it for a year now, I’m getting the itch to upgrade to a DSLR. I’ve been a fan of Nikon cameras even when I was using a point-and-shoot so naturally, I thought of upgrading to nothing less than a Nikon.
However, during my enquiries at [...]

Have you visited a Crocs outlet lately? If you have, you will be thrilled to see that they now carry many nice shoe designs instead of the first few they started off with. From sandals, slippers, wedges and mary janes, you can find them all. Crocs also sells bags now, although from what I saw, [...]

A new Lenovo toy!

by Penny on August 23, 2008

This afternoon was spent shopping at Low Yat Plaza. I love that place compared to any fashion boutique anytime because I simply love gadgets. On today’s shopping list was a Lenovo Y410 notebook. No it’s not for me, but I was tasked to buy it and I happily went to snoop at the many suppliers [...]

A surprise free gift from Hong Leong

by Penny on August 19, 2008

I’ve had a Hong Leong Bank credit card for some time now. I don’t really use the card for my retail transactions. I only used it for two balance transfers and that’s it. Since I don’t use it, I don’t keep up with their promotions.
Recently I received a parcel from them. It’s for some promotion [...]

Will you wear a fan at your neck?

by Penny on June 24, 2008

Another Japanese wonder has been created – a necktie cooler. How it works is that there’s a little fan attached to the tie knot that’s well hidden from view but will definitely keep you cool. But it looks like it’ll keep you cool only at the neck/chest area.
Is it clever to hide a fan [...]
