  Now I have a new hobby is to visit the local garden stores to shop for new plants. Today I got myself a strawberry and grape plant. It is difficult to grow these in hot weather. I hope I can make them fruit. I still got lots to learn when it comes to gardening. Sometimes I get over excited and got too many plants. I do wish they sell more varieties of flowers. Love those flower plants in US.

  When I was in US, I bought lots of different seeds. And today I planted more than 20 different seeds. Now I am excited to see which will actually grow here. Let?s hope all make it. I just want my garden to have more beautiful flowers, vegetable and fruit trees. Let’s hope that happen.

  Here is my strawberry plant..

  Last weekend, I went shopping for flowers. I like to see colors in my garden. When I was at the plants store, I saw so many beautiful flowers. It was not that expensive, most of them were below RM10 per pot.

  I don’t know about you but I really have tough time planting anything from seed. I can plant clone herbs like basil or peppermint from stems. Maybe I didn’t have the patient or the soil is not right.

  Anyway I almost wanted to get all the flowers there. They are so pretty. Here is what I got….

  
  
  

  Now every now and then, I will walk to the garden if I want a rest from my work. It is quite refreshing really since most of the time I work from home. By the way, here is my vertical garden, I got the idea from internet. It is good for those who have very little space for gardening like my home. I hope I can plant more vegetables next! Choy Sum and tomato in the making.

  Now angry birds are so popular that you can almost find any products with angry birds’ pictures. I have seen flip flops, water bottles, tees, kite, bed sheets, moon cakes, stickers and lanterns with angry birds’ pictures. I am sure you have seen the angry birds’ soft toys too.

  But have you seen this? *slap forehead*

  I love spending time doing any type of puzzles. When I was in University, I used to put 1000 pieces of jigsaw puzzles together. It is one of the best past time hobby because most of the time I spend at home and less time for me to spend money outside.

  
  
  

  Today while I was shopping at Daiso, I saw this puzzle. Actually before that, I have seen it many times. I told myself, it is impossible to separate the color balls. Never took a second look. However today, I picked it up and started playing with it. Then I discovered a method of doing so. It took me 5 minutes to separate the color balls. Cool right?

  Try it when you go into Daiso the next time. It is also a test of your patience.

  I wanted to get a point and shoot camera because the current Canon camera is giving me battery problem. It seems that the battery always showing low very quickly. I saw a Lumix point and shoot I like. I read up some preview on the ZR3 and FH20 model. Most reviewers are saying good things about Lumix. I like the intelligent feature in the camera where I do not have to adjust any macro shots. Everything is done on the fly.

  I made up my mind to get the ZR3 and I went online to see how I can get it cheap. US pricing was USD$230++ and here the local store was selling RM1299 with some free gift like SD card, tripod and leather case.

  I surfed into ebay to check out the price there. A brand new one cost only USD$210 (est. RM$655). Wow, so I ordered one. I ordered it when I was in Kuala Lumpur, on Friday night. I thought it probably will take 2 weeks to arrive. Guess what? The camera arrived at my place in Penang on Monday. Talk about super efficient from the ebay seller. I am so very happy that I saved 50% on this camera. What a GREAT deal!!

  I have no experience in choosing mens ties because my partner does not wear them. Therefore I do not buy any. However I did browse through a online site called www.ties-necktie.com. Wow I like the neck ties there.

  I am tempted to get some as a gift. They have simple yet elegant design which I like. It stands out with a pastel color shirt. Very chic!

  Last time when I was at Victoria Secrets, I walked in and walked out empty handed. I am not a lingerie person. There wasn’t anything for me. This time around, I walked in and I got these goodies.

  
  
  

  I am not sure whether it is cheap or not but I know that we cannot get any here. It was 5 bottles for US$25 or 7 bottles for US$30. I also got lots of sweet smelling sanitizers from there. Maybe they should open a chain of Victoria Secrets in Malaysia. I am sure lots of ladies, even men would be interested.

  One guy who took a hanger of lingerie and asked the sales lady loudly, ”Is this set complete?” “Do I need to get anything extra?” That was funny. The sales lady got shock for a while and later helps him. I used to subscribe to VS catalog and I like most of the blouses there. However the shipping is costly. Lets hope it will come here soon!

• Electric Sweeper

  08.11.09 |Living, Shopping| Permalink | 3 Comments

  One Saturday morning, I woke up and switched on the TV. I was sucked in by the Infomercial, you know where they sell things on TV. This was in US. I tell you I cannot live there else I go bankrupt easily.

  I saw a vacuum broom and it is so need. The minute I saw it, I wanted it. The TV deal was 2 for US29.90. Great deal right? Nope I didn’t get it on TV, I am not that crazy.

  However I was hunting for it in the local store when I was in the Bay Area. I was in the dilemma to get it or not. Finally, Vien took me to Macy at Stanford Mall and found one there. I like the packing, it is small and I can definitely stuff into my baggage.

  The electric vacuum sweeper is very flexible, you can maneuver it through every corner. It sucks up all my fallen hair that my broom cannot sweep. It does not need a vacuum bag. It is wireless which means you don’t have wire dangling everywhere when you use it or trip over it. It has a charger for you to charge it up. The suction is pretty strong. Since it is a US unit, I need a step down transformer to charge the battery. With the help of my hubby, I managed to get one which is small to convert 110V to 240V. Pretty need. Don’t you want to get one too? I bet if I imported a whole bunch it, it will sell like hot cakes here.
