I was reading a beauty magazine the other day and saw an advertisement for a colon cleanse company. I used to read about how Princess Diana used these methods to keep herself slim and detoxified. However, I'm not sure if I can put myself through the same way. It does seem rather radical and I'm not sure if it is good for your body in the long run.
I was recently at an event and noticed someone using a camcorder to record the event. That got me rather curious as I have not seen people using camcorders in a while already. Everyone seems to be using high tech digital cameras that double up as video recorders so I thought camcorders were a dying technology! Have you noticed anyone using camcorders recently?
Have you ever tried shipping from Amazon? I heard that they didn't use to ship to Malaysia which was why I stopped considering them as an online seller. However, a friend who recently bought from them was happy with her order fulfillment despite being in Malaysia. Does anyone know if they have changed their shipping ban to Malaysia?
Every mother has high hopes for their children. Some hope for their children to grow up to be brilliant doctors who discover the cure for Mesothelioma cancer or an engineer to build the biggest and highest bridges in the world. Someday if I have a kid of my own, I think I'll probably be as ambitious as all these mothers! No mother ever really wants her child to fail in life but yet they want them to be happy. I wonder if such a balance can be struck.
I recently went for a free trial at a slimming centre and had to endure the worst insults in their attempt to get me to sign up for a slimming package with them! During my experience there, I was surprised to see them prescribing a fat burner pill to a client. I thought that slimming centres relied mostly on machines to help you lose your unwanted pounds not medication! It was truly an eye-opener!
Sometimes you get the strangest comments on blogs. Someone contacted me via my blog last week to ask if I would write about phenphedrine reviews if they sent me a sample. I was a little hesitant as I am rather wary about eating diet pills, having heard too much about their side effects. A famous Singapore actress actually had to have a liver transplant due to poisoning caused by slimming pills! Would you dare try it out?
I love shoes but recently I have been on a bit of a shopping ban in an attempt to save some money. So it did not help at all when my colleague told me about this really nice pair of Dansko shoes she saw on sale! And it has to happen in a month where I'm sadly dry and where my shoes are falling apart too! Should I or should I not?
I went for a little excursion today and unfortunately I forgot that my camera isn't waterproof! It actually got dipped in the water and now I'm worried it can't work well anymore. My latest attempt to take a photo using it just resulted in some blurry images! :( I wonder if it's time to start saving up for a new camera, preferably one with compact flash memory and built in additional memory. Anyone got any good brands to recommend?
We were supposed to buy a new bed after we moved in but I guess with all the settling down, that priority seems to have become less important as we get by with the current bed. I have been noticing lots of bed sales in the papers though for all kinds of novelty and funky beds including a sleep number bed or circular waterbed! I wonder how people sleep on those comfortably!
I enjoy grocery shopping and I never failed to be thrilled by the barcode scanners that are installed in the supermarket. Its pretty exciting, for me at least, to pick up an item and scan it to see what the price is! I guess I get my kicks out of the strangest things!
What do you think are the best diet pills on the market at the moment? My colleague recently asked me that and I was unable to answer her as I had no clue! To me, diet pills are not exactly the best way to lose weight as they may come with some dangerous side effects. They are also not cheap and I told her she might be better off exercising instead. Hopefully she takes my advice!
We tend to throw away things each time we spring-clean our houses. However, did you know that some collections can actually bring you money? I recall a friend whose old uncle used to keep a huge collection of silver coin from all types of countries. When he passed away, the family cleared the house and out of interest decided to send those coins for valuation. They were shocked to know that the coins were actually worth a tidy sum today! Especially since precious metals prices have been on the upward trend! So next time do think carefully before you throw out your collections!
Everywhere seems to be screaming sale! I was at training in town for the past 3 days and almost everywhere had banners proclaiming sales of all kinds. However, the stores still seem mostly empty and I believe despite the cheaper prices, people are just buying less to save their money.
In my previous company, I used to have an IT person who would be sleeping most of the day in the dark and air-conditioned server room! He was so incompetent that he couldn't answer most of our questions including how to download cad drawing tools when the engineers had to perform some work. Sometimes I really wonder how people get to keep their jobs in this current competitive economy!
It is a scary world we live in today. There are all kinds of terminal diseases that crop up everywhere nowadays, even in young children. It seems like everything we eat or use now have potential to cause cancer such as mesothelioma or other worse terminal diseases. It does make you wonder how best we can live and have a healthy life.
One problem about moving into an apartment is the space constraint. I have been moving my stuff around in the storeroom to try to create more space and to avoid it looking so messy. If only we had some self storage units in the basement like my parents' condo. It will definitely create lots of additional storage space to store items that are not used often.
We've been cracking our heads to come up with a suitable present for a friend who's about to get married. Some friends suggested getting her some sexy lingerie for her honeymoon and wedding night but it does seem like a strange gift. I remember feeling rather odd when I received something like that from a wedding guest! Do you think its a suitable gift?
I never cease to be amazed by the amount of information contained in a barcode. One of the stuff I like to do while shopping is to pick up an item and take it to the barcode scanner just to see how much it costs! It always thrills me! Do you get kicks like these out of shopping too?
