Shopping Dilemma for Big Women

I’ve been to shopping areas (Namdaemun and Dongdaemun are out - I can’t go there with an infant) with mother-in-law but always (always!) she comes home frustrated.

Flip-flops Country

Whar’s so fashionable about flip-flops? Why do they cost a lot?
 
I honestly can’t see the reason for the exorbitant prices attached to flip-flops. They are comfortable, yes. But fashionable? Heck, no! But some people (a lot!) think they are so much so that they are willing to shell out hundreds, even a thousand bucks, for [...]

Children and Economics

 

My internet always opens to the MSN homepage. Today, one of the headlines was “10 Companies  Hiring for the Holidays” and one of them was Toys” R” Us. This brings me back to a week ago when I took a picture of my Little Dynamo happily backpacking his toy purchase.

Spelling of July in Malaysia - S,A,L,E

I didn’t know that July is Malaysia’s S-A-L-E season. So, everywhere we went we see this:

Why the inverted spelling? I didn’t avail of the SALE season, that’s why! My fault, really. Prices are down up to 70%. So, I kept on looking for more bargains. Tsk. Tsk. I got hold of a beautiful Nine West bag [...]

Seoul Fashion

Going out with Cathy and Joanna yesterday afternoon reinforced my observation that Seoul is one fashionable place. If you like dressing up and expressing yourself through your clothes, come over. Seoul is a haven!
