Okay, let’s be honest, this is Y’s new toy. It was his idea, he chose it, he bought it and now he’s using it. I just like knowing it’s in the next room and that I can use it whenever I like. If I ever like. Besides, according to Y’s calculations, this thing costs [...]
Look what arrived in the post today, less than two weeks after I ordered them.
Last year, I made my first ever online shopping purchase. The experience unfortunately didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. I ordered two pairs of shoes and they took forever to arrive – apparently they were held up and then there was some miscommunication on the part of our postal system or something. Whatever [...]
The boys and I are having supper at McDonald’s one night.
A: Watching Friday Night Lights makes me want to play American football.
B: Ya, I know what you mean. Watching 30 Rock makes me want to work on a TV show too.
Me: Watching Lipstick Jungle makes me want to go shopping!
Silence.
B: [...]
Last night, I finally bought my first ever pair of running shoes – an adidas pair for RM219.90. Choosing between New Balance, adidas and Nike, I eliminated New Balance because I didn’t like any of the designs in the store and Nike because I think they’re way overpriced. I didn’t want to splurge on [...]
I really liked my Havaianas. They weren’t even mine to start, but my brother-in-law outgrew them and they fitted me perfectly. They went with (almost) everything and I wore them everywhere – I’m sloppy, you see. And I don’t know how, but the left slipper broke as I was getting out of the car the [...]
Curiosity (and the word ‘shopping’) got the better of Y this morning, and he quickly skimmed the first couple paragraphs of my post. Too lazy to read the entire thing, he clicked on the link instead.
Y: Shoes?!
Me: Uh huh. I just threw away three pairs of shoes.
[Pause. He channel surfs.]
Y: [...]
Today, I did something I’ve never done before. Friends who’ve tried it say I’m going to be in trouble, because once you start, there’s no stopping. It’s just too accessible, too convenient and far too tempting. Today, I shopped online for the very first time.
I’ve been pretty slow to jump on the bandwagon, simply [...]
After months of intending to bring my own reusable bag for groceries, I finally remembered yesterday. Okay, technically I didn’t remember – it happened to be in my tote because I’d used it as an umbrella of sorts during a particularly rainy morning.
“I don’t need a plastic bag,” I told the woman at the [...]
Scenario One:
I was at Bandar Utama New Wing LG carpark looking for a spot when I see this lady getting into her Kancil. Even though I was at a t-junction, I stopped and put on my indicator (she was right ahead of me facing the junction) because I was running late and well, I [...]
