Should I or Should I Not?

iPad 2 - coming to Singapore in April

Thinner, Faster, Lighter.

Facetime, Smarter cover, 10 hrs battery time.

I am tempted to get my hand on a iPad 2. The white one with the orange polyurethane smart cover.

I have 2 more days to order it so that it will be in time to deliver to the New York hotel that I will be staying at the end of April. As the shipping will take 3-4 weeks, no stock in their retail store.

USD499 for only the Wi-Fi is very expensive. If I were to get the Wi-Fi  + 3G, is another USD130 more.

Gadgets are my weakness. Should I? or Should I not? Tough call. If I don't have my house.. I would have got it without batting an eyelid. Grrrr....

TVs, Fridges, Washing Machines...

Made a trip down to Gain City Marina Square with a long list of items to see and enquire yesterday.

• Television
• Front Load washer/dryer
• Fridge
• Stove
• Air-condition
• Oven

There are soooo many to choose from and it's giving me a huge headache as I can't differentiate which will be the better choice for us to get.

Luckily, the sales person Andy, gave me a lot of useful information on the products that I am keen to know more about.

Still, it's not easy to choose within a wide range of "everything-seems-good" products.


Just take air-condition for example.

We need inverter air-condition, 4 Ticks Distinction Energy Saving Labels

We have Mitsubushi $2869, Panasonic $2799, Toshiba (the only JAPAN made) $2989, Sharp $2679 and Daikin $2940 to choose from.

Mitsubushi, Panasonic (new sleek model.. just came in 3-4 months ago) and Daikin is the top 3 choices to me.

And it isn't easy to choose between the 3. Grrr..


For television.. we should get the LED as it's more energy saving and it doesn't produce too much heat when you are sitting in front of one large television.

Should I spend $1,999 (usual price $3,999) for a 40-inch Samsung Series 7 3D LED  TV?

Or just get a regular $1,299 LG 42-inch Full HD LED TV?

If I were to get the one with 3D, the games I play on PS3 (yes, I need to buy that too.. for the Guitar Heroes set that is collecting dust at one corner of the house) will look great!

On top of that, I will need a sound bar too.

Should I get one with a integrated blu  ray player from Samsung which will set me back at $1329, or get them separated which will take up more space but is cheaper?
As for stove.. should I get the cheaper and prettier glass stove or the practical stainless steel and cost double one?

Front Loader washer/dryer - LG or Samsung? Both cost $1,000+ too..

It seems that Andy been promoting Samsung to me. :P

 Hey, where is all the Japanese products?

Blessing in Disguise

Do you believe in Karma?

I don't know to celebrate or to feel sorry for the person who had once betrayed me and was willingly to give up our friendship for some guy she met, twice.

It's funny how things come around. x100 time worst.

The angel in me tells me to keep it to myself and let her continue to live in her bubble.

The devil in me tells me to tell her the truth and burst her bubble.



Never ever give up friendship for lust.. It never last.




Whatever it is.. time will tell..

I'm just glad to have real true friend (you know who you are *wink* because I always tell u so) with me. No matter what, they always stand by me, love me and never betray me.

Isetan Private Sale

On Friday, there's a close door private sale for Isetan card members.

Was tempted by Hubby's mom to go together after meeting our designer for the house.

Glad that I went as I bought two pieces from Emporio Armani at a great discount!! A top for clubbing and winter coat is going at $100 each. Very cheap can. The former is selling at the retail price of $1,599. I thought the "1" wasn't there.

The original price for the winter coat is only 1/3 of the clubbing top. That is how ex the top is. Gosh!

Almost bought the ceramic knife set.. Think twice because it might go missing when I move house. :9 Share this post:

Copenhagen, Denmark

My first time to Copenhagen. And I'm very excited to be able to visit new places after so long. :)

Copenhagen is also considered one of the world's most environmentally friendly cities. The water in the inner harbour is so clean that one can swim in it. Even the hotel I'm staying is build on water.

Nyhavn, the 17th century waterfront

The lake is half frozen. Care to take a dip in the water? :P

Gefion Fountain with no water~

Spotted 2 kids picking pennies in the fountain.

Beautiful St Alban's Anglican Church

I like this shot that I took. Very emo.

On our way to the little mermaid statue.

The little mermaid statue.

Hans Christian Andersen (a danish) wrote "The Little Mermaid" fairy tale in 1837, and in 1909 the founder of Carlsberg Breweries, who was fascinated by the story, had the statue built in the harbour of Copenhagen.

This poor mermaid lost her head a few times, was dowed in paint, dressed in muslim attire, went to China in 2010 for half a year.

Here I am with the mermaid in my hands.

Boy & Girl met while on the merry-go-round.

Love at first sight~ Awww...

Boy is in love and he went on a knee with a bunch of flowers at the habour of love.

Back in Seoul - Shopping & Food heaven

Can't wait to head to Seoul~

Wanna get my hands on the cute and fancy Korean stationeries badly!

Look out of the aircraft window and a breath taking view greets you.

Where are we over now?

We are flying over the Pacific Ocean. Specifically, the Sea of Okhotsk.

After touching down, we heading out to eat the Ginseng Chicken.

It warms me up and help to keep me awake for the late night shopping later at Dongdaemun.

Spotted this cute lil' dress at Doota, Dongdaemun.

Aww.. next time when I have kids, I will go there to buy those pretty dresses for my little darlings~

Dongdaemun is great! The shops there closes at 4am! Can you imagine how we ended the night at 1.30am (time flies when you have a great company) and the locals and tourists there are still happily shopping - on a weekday somemore.


Morning came early, LSS Shirley & I headed out to make some name tags.

Spotted.

Pre-made tags for Singapore Airlines crew.



Mr Park and his trusty sewing machine.

He sews the letters and logos within 1 minute. Awesome!



Mine~

I chose bright pink cabin trolley handle and Mr Park suggested me to emboss it in black.

~Kimmie~

He was so sweet to add on the pink heart for me :)

Determined to find my top-on-the-list items, we took a cab down to Ewha University's shopping belt.

Can't wait to use the stickers I bought there for my photos~~!

Found this adorable photo ablum. :)

Hello Kitty at Krispy Kreme and I bought one ~ Yummy~

My stash ~~ Love them lots!!

These are fabric stickers, A4 size.

Post it pads.

I like the girl with the speech bubble - "I'm shitting, please do not disturb." Wahaha.. :P

Finally~!

The rubber stamps that I have always wanted!

Cheap and pretty!!

Only 5,500 won, so I bought a set of 4.

And that oil-base ink pad - for printing on fabrics.

This flight ain't that bad at all.. because women do bond while shopping together :)

To ease my sore shoulders and achy feets from all the shopping, I soaked myself in the hot bath with the bath sand that Twinkle gave me some time ago. Missing her.. and missing all my girlfriends. Last but not least, my lovely hubby~ Chu~

San Francisco

Haven't been here for a really long time! I missed shopping in San Francisco. Shopping here is uber convenient compared to New York City and Los Angeles.

Victoria Secret, Tiffany & Co, Apple, Amercian Eagles, Abercombie & Fitch, Chronicle (I love to buy their labels & stickers book which I paste on gift parcels. You can buy them from Woodwould in Singapore too!), GNC, Macys and many many more.. are all within minutes of our hotel.

Also, the staff here are friendlier and more helpful too! Generally, the people here are really nice. But.. never let your guard down as there are more homeless people along the street and alleys, some can be quite scary. So always walk with the crowd and don't be alone.

In the morning, Singapore time 1am, FSS Winne (a very nice senior crew) bought me to Sears, located next to the Union Square, for breakfast. So hungry that I gobble them up so quickly that I had forgotten to take some photos. No room service after midnight here, so I waited till morning for my meal.

Poor Kimmie have to be hungry.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures :)

You can take the cable car to the Fisherman Wharf.

I love the vintage look of this.

I ❤ Bath & Body Works


The things I always buy from here are the Lavender Aromatherapy Concentrated Room Spray to freshen up my room, Lavender Pillow Mist to help me sleep better during my crew rest and the Lavender Fragrance Oil to put into the Scentbug.

As you can see.. I love the scent of Lavender. :)

It calms and relax me.

I have tried other Lavender products there, but these 3 are my favourite.

 

Urban Outfitters is another favourite shop of mine.

They carry some really cool and quirky books. Not to forget, the "in" thing now, Toy Cameras. Tempted to get one myself. Me being not that artsy fartsy type, I didn't.

 

Revolving 16-Jar Spice Rack


Since I preparing to move into our new place in a few months time, I went to Crate & Barrel to take a look. How I wish I can buy all the kitchen stuffs!!

Though I don't know how to cook, the Revolving 16-Jar Spice Rack looks cool on my kitchen top yeah? :)

I like their stuffs from furniture, bath, dining, decorating and accessories. Awww...

Are there other such shops in States worth visiting too?

 

Me trying to be a little artsy fartsy :P

Heading back to Seoul in a few hours. Can't wait!! Going to Ewha Woman University to get some cute Korean stationery.

Welcome to the land of Seoul.

Haven't been here for a 1+ year. And the skincare shops in Myeongdong seems to double compare to last time I were here.

It's really a land of skincare~ ❤

Innisfree.

One of the many skin care shop in Myeongdong.

more skin care shops~

almost all the skin care shops are endores by popular MALE singers or actors. maybe to draw in the pink dollars as well?
