I’m leaving for the airport later today, and as usual, I hope that I will check in early so that I can have more time for shopping at duty free. I always buy skincare products there, but maybe I will check out other stuffs like watches too. I haven’t worn a watch for years!
If you are shopping for a watch as well, check out the wide selection of omega watches available at ViaLuxe as you can easily find the collections for men and women, or the functions of the watches. I prefer something that looks sporty yet feminine. But if you can afford it, go for Omega watches with diamonds. However, this website is still in beta stage, so you can’t find all the products yet. Nonetheless, you can read about the news related to Omega watches, and don’t forget to check out the design of Omega Speedmaster 5-Counter Chronograph with the five rings chronograph layout for the coming Olympic Games in Beijing. I like the design as it’s totally sporty.
There is a forum for Omega fans to join in for discussion too. If you like the watches, you might want to find out more about it. I think I will just check out the watches later if I come across them at the airport. I might not be buying any now, but no harm checking them out right?

I haven’t bought anything for the house yet, but we took a good look at it this morning and came out with the list of things we should get for days to come. On top of that, I’m thinking of getting something for the kids too since they have been doing great at my parents’ place. I’m thinking of getting a gold necklace for Isabelle as another birthday present for her. She won’t be wearing it though, but I will help her to keep that gold necklace. I will give it back to her once she’s older or just let her wear for special function.
My mum may get Isabelle a pendant, so I don’t have to get one for her now. Other than that, I’m still thinking about what to buy for Justin. He likes anything in purple, so I will try to find something in purple for him in Chatuchak tomorrow.

Both hubby and I need to buy lots of things for the house as soon as we reach Bangkok later. We didn’t bring the kids along because we know that there are a lot of things to buy and we might not have an extra pair of hands to carry them! If we manage to get the house fully furnished in less than a week, then I might ask my parents to bring my kids over and we will extend our stay in Bangkok.
I haven’t come out with a list of things to buy, but I am thinking of getting some outdoor furniture. We have awing at the side of the house and I think the kids will love to have a picnic table just like this:
This PolyWood picnic table is one of the many outdoor furniture available at Stonecrest Furniture. It comes in different colors too, and let’s see if we have a budget for it. I can’t possibly order one online as international shipping fee is really costly. But if you order it in US, the shipping fee is free.
Now, why is all these great online shopping stores are only available in US? I better shop around when we reach Bangkok, maybe I will find something similar.

My kids love their Crocs shoes. Hubby used to think that they are nothing special and why should I be spending more than RM100 on a pair of shoes for each of them. He didn’t believe in how anti slip the Crocs shoes are so he brought those pirated version for the kids. I only let them wear the shoes when they are playing outside, but not when we are going out. There was once when Justin slipped on a slippery floor of a restaurant wearing those pirated shoes and he hit on the edge of an aquarium. His cheek was badly bruised! That pair of shoes were bought by my parents, and they are just like hubby, they still don’t believe in Crocs shoes.
Nonetheless, I still love buying original Crocs shoes for my kids. I told Justin that once he’s grown out from his old pair, I will get him a new pair in purple. He’s been looking forward to that as he likes purple a lot!
I bought those add on buttons last time, so I think they can still be used for the new shoes later. Those buttons really beautify the shoes, if you think Crocs Cayman Kids are ugly. LOL! But if the shoes are really that bad, why won’t the thief stole hubby’s Crocs away? I bought him a pair but since he said it’s ugly, I have never been bothered to replace a new pair of westway - crocs shoes for him. Let him stick to his Bata slippers if he wants. If he slips while moving the stool furniture later, just don’t blame me. LOL!

I surprised myself by not buying anything when I was shopping at The Gardens. The temptation was there, but I managed to control myself from having a shopping spree. My kids helped to keep me busy too, so I didn’t have a chance to shop.
Anyway, I wanted to help hubby in saving up for the kids’ education fees in Bangkok. We have to control our spending for the first 2 years until his new business is making money. So, I’m broke. Maybe I should have invested in rare coin previously and by now it might be able to make me some money if I can sell it off at higher value huh? LOL!
On the other hand, this trip to KL is to spend time with the kids instead of shopping. I can’t call myself Shoppingmum anymore!

Do you like shopping? I don’t think I can live without shopping. I will be very moody if I can see but cannot buy. That’s why I sneak out some time to get myself something new and I feel so happy about the purchase. If possible, I will just use the cash but it’s not so safe to leave the house with your wallet loaded with cash. That’s why credit cards are pretty handy for shopaholic.
I don’t have any Best Cash Back Credit Cards unless I redeem my points for cash rebates. But I wonder if there is a card that gives more cash rebates based on the same redemption points? I have’t applied for any credit cards for many years as I only stick to my old cards. Frankly, I’m so lost about credit cards now.
Maybe it’s my fault too because I don’t like to listen to all those telemarketers trying to coax me into getting another card. I hate to answer their calls!
To get additional information about cash back credit cards, the web can be a precious source. When searching for a credit card application or even instant approval credit cards, the net can give you many varying opinions.

I think we are all ready for Chinese New Year except preparing the money for red packets. I knit a lot for myself, so basically I only need to buy more pants. But I still bought a few tops from the boutiques because I was tempted!
I have the same temptation of getting some of these tank tops from Artful Wears. I like casual wears these days as I don’t have to go to work. No point dressing like an office lady for my daily routines! Besides that, there are a handful of handbags and jewelry being offered at the web store as well. But since I’ve done my shopping for Chinese New Year, I better kick my temptation away and stop thinking about shopping for a while. Maybe just for 2 days. LOL!

I shopped a lot today. A year ago, I wouldn’t feel anything much if I spent so much money in a day as I was used to spending hubby’s money. But I was being financial independent for a while when I made money from blogging, and I loved the feeling of spending my own money. However, it’s impossible for me to make that much now.
If I’m really serious about being financially independent, I should just try to look for a job from an executive recruiting firm. I might be in luck to get a job that pays well and satisfy my hunger in making money for myself. But then again, I’m too used to being a stay-at-home mother, I am so lazy to get up for work everyday! If you are looking for a job, then A.E. Feldman Associates, Inc might be able to help you out.
As for me, I will still find other work-from-home opportunity. Working from home is still the best job that brings both money and flexibility to me.

I didn’t knit those knit wears shown in the picture. I ordered them from the shop because I know that I couldn’t possible finish them in one week. I thought they might need it in Bangkok so I ordered them urgently, but who knows, it’s not windy when we were there.
Isabelle’s knit wear is quite complicated, but I like it. Take a look at it…
Anyway, she loves it because it’s very colorful. So if you like your kids to have cute knit wears but can’t knit them in time, get them ordered from the shop. Do you know that it can be done?

I sleep more about 7 hours these days because I’m staying away from blogging until late at night. I have to get up early for Justin who’s going to school early in the morning.
I wonder if I should get a Chillow Pillow for a good night sleep as I tend to sweat in the middle of the night. The air con is on, but sometimes I will get up feeling hot because I’m sleeping at the corner away from the air conditioning. Maybe I will sleep better if I don’t have get up and flip my pillow huh?
If you are interested to get one, check out the pillow at AllegroMedical.com. By the way, did I tell you it’s only $29.95?
