For those kids who have mummies like me.. who doesn’t like cleaning .. or have no time to bake and make gingerbread house with your kids.. now we have virtual ginger bread house from allsorts. The colors are gorgeous..! Just hold, drag and plant all those colorful candies onto the gingerbread house.. even my 4 yrs old can do it. The only hard part is my screen is too small, so I’ll have to roll up and down.. the screen to put those cutie candies onto my virtual gingerbread house.. and that itself can be quite tiring. So if you have a very young kid playing on it, just try to make sure .. that you have a bigger screen than my 17″ CRT.

Christmas Shopping

Author: CCW  //  Category: Shopping, Useful Links

With Christmas being round the corner, everyone in the family is going into a frenzy and trying to buy the right presents for the right people. I find the most difficult to buy for is the guys in the family.. and a father-in-law who has got everything… and everytime you asked him what he would love to have for Christmas, would only answer.. “not a thing”. Is yours this way too..?? or does it only run in my family…??

But one thing I know .. about my father-in-law and the guys in our family, they love stuff like binoculars and anything to do with hunting like rifle scopes, range finders and flashlights. Plus the brother-in-law can never resist a Ray-Ban sunglasses.  I’m sure you know where I would be doing all the manly Christmas shopping at right..??  Online and stress free at Optic Planet of course.

Best Sound System

The first Bose home theater that I came across was back home in Singapore at my doctor’s office. Strange as it might sound, she definitely knows what was the best at that time. I’m sure by now.. the Bose sound system is way more advance and I know .. that we’ve gone for a special presentation to see how the Bose system works… and we were really amazed by it. Subsequently, during the years, I’ve seen them in the hotels we stayed in .. during our travel for work.. and for vacation. Most of the suites that we were in has one.. so I’m pretty sure that the Bose recognized and admired by even woman.

Big But Sexy

Author: CCW  //  Category: Shopping, Useful Links

One thing good about being in the West is .. you will never be discriminated for being big. Alot of women are big here.. but that doesn’t mean that they are not sexy. Many are very well-dressed.. and very presentable. And as long as you want to make an effort to be sexy for your partner, you’ll find plus size lingerie to make the evening a memorable one. I really love the fact that the Caucasian men love a little meat in their women.. unlike the Asian men, who love a pole to hug.

Chinese Superstition

Author: CCW  //  Category: Shopping, Useful Links

Asians are brought up differently from our Western counterparts. There are loads of superstition .. that even I practice till today. It is like an inborn thing in us.. afterall, we lived with our parents .. and surely you can understand .. that what they think do rubbed off on us. Audemars Piguet watch was what the man wanted for his birthday.. but the superstitious me of course would not hear of it, because the chinese believe that anything to do with clocks or watch are bad idea for gifts. Therefore even with new arrivals, I told the man.. that he has gotta get them for himself.. and pay for it himself… and I kept reminding him not to get me one. Reason : I’m superstitious!!

Where Are My Mails..?

Author: CCW  //  Category: Home Furnishing, Useful Links

The mailman just throws my mails for the store into the open slot for movies because we are not allowed to have mailboxes outside our building. Strange as it may sounds, they have some sort of bylaw for it. So what do one do .. if you don’t have a slot like we do..?? Well… you’ll have to catch the mailman.. and have your business open as early as 8am.. because that is when he starts on his rounds.
