Pearls !

went around looking for pearl strands and pearl pendants recently. i find that the local staff are poorly educated in pearls. even worse than me as a consumer. first of all when i look at freshwater pearls and asked them what pearl is this, they will say.... "cultured pearls" zzzzzzzzzzzz WRONG. They should just tell me its freshwater or cultured freshwater. anyway its so hard to find natural pearls (not cultured).... and then, cultured pearls can be referring to Tahitian, Freshwater, Akoya etc. its just that they are cultured differently (seawater, freshwater) and by different oysters, mussels etc. then the best part is when i asked them what culture pearls... they just say its called culture pearls. WAAAAAAAAAAAA win liaoz

I've Donated to Japan (to IFRC) via HUBLOT! Have you?

jUst wondering.... hmm i always frequent US sites and right now, some companies are like having a day sales and all proceed will go towards Japan to help those affected by the tsunani, quakes etc.

Forever21 USA just held the one day sale 1 or 2days ago.



Now, this is another one but its by world reowned Watch company, Hublot.

Those that are into watches will heard of this brand. Those that only know of Rolex, Omega and Tag Heuer will probably not heard of this. Their watches starts from abt SGD20k onwards and its kind of a 'lesiure' watch i supposed? Not the usual names we often heard about (because not much value to pawn? lolll)

They have a boutique at Marina Bay Sands and they can be found at big watch retailer shops like Hour Glass.

Ok, why do I say so much? Because they are having a 'matching' donation. When you donate $100, they will also donate the same amount. So instead of donating to Red Cross directly, u donate to them and this will double the amount u donated.

Remember to state 'HUBLOT' under the company link when you are directed to the ifrc link. Even at ifrc link, u can do the donation too.. just type HUBLOT as well.

http://www.hublot.com/en/#/NEWS

This is the link u get after clicking the Red circle with Japan word. http://www.hublot.com/site/commitmentforjapan/

I donated liao! So i can confirm its legitimate.

Because after u filled up the Form at Hublot, u will be directed to this link which is under IFRC. .
http://www.ifrc.org/en/get-involved/donate/donation/?DisasterPageID=51098

THen from here u will be proceeded to RBS WorldPay to process the donations

And then after this I went to Hublot site and I saw my address twice ... Opps. I think I might clicked twice but well the amount I donated is not that much so even if I 'accidentally' donate 2x, its still within the amount I want to donate.

So if you plan to donate, might as well donate through this link. (ps i have come to know abt this through hour glass email. Now, I have already donated it to ensure its legitimate.)

Lets hope that things will get better for Japan

01-01-2011 to 15-01-2011 ZZzzz Reports

HMMMmmmm my new year resolution.....

1st day = Failed because i went to see fireworks and zzzz at 5am or so.

so from 1st Jan to 15 january there's only 2 days that i zzzz at 2am. The others are like 3 am, 4am , 5am and 6pm!!!!! Oh now is 15 January, and today will be calculated as 1 day zzz before 2am LOL

OMG

Really bad habit.

At 12am = Oh night is still young... wait a min then shower
At 1am = Ok still have time. wait a bit more.

wait wait wait UN-TILLLLllll *take a look at clock 2.00-2.30AM... oh very late must go shower...

then 10MINS shower only okay.....

need > 1hr to blow the hair dry. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

End up 4am then 70-80% dry and go zzzzzzzz

Oh dear. Must change this cycle

Now 10pm. What am I doing?


Doing Work at office and then decided to update my 'January zz reports' lol

Ok i have a package send to me yesterday. will do a reveal soon when i'm free. VERY free.

Oh my God! 31.12.2010!!!

Wa its really unbelievable. I have so many things to do at work (rushing the 2010 workload) and now, this is the LAST day of 2010!

time really flies. Especially when we start working and become 21yrs old. Just fly.
Now more white hairs (shit!!!), waist getting wider and skin pores become bigger. Not forgetting my steadily increasing weight.

Looking at my 2010 Resolution, its what I've always want to accomplish but always cant. I am an owl that stay awake at night. Just yesterday (due to work), i went home at 4am. Zzz at 6am

My resolution for 2010 is like my resolution in 2006 and beyond. The piece of paper on my wall about 'Zzzz early' and my brother came into the room, point at the paper and said I can strike of 2006 and just write '2007'. So yea........ till now, the 2010 resolution will be changed by entering the '1' to replace the '0'..... so it becomes 2011.

Really need to buck up (ai. said for so many yrs but never did). I need to be more enthusiastic about life, look forward to 2011 (and my Prada bag hahahahha and my pearls hehehe) and try to finish my office work. But the most important thing is to give a precious gift to myself. Something that $$$ cannot buy but yet without $$$$, its impossible to support.


So yea, I must buck up, Zzzz Early, Wake up Early, Go to Work Early so I can go home Early = Healthy cycle
and then give myself a great present for the future. "Fighting!"



아자 아자 파이팅!!!

아자 아자 파이팅!!!

BOrderlinx User = DO NOT ever use Autoship!

Why? A picture says a thousand words.............

Siao Bor = Singlish term of = Are u sure? CRAZY? something like that

Can you imagine how much one will have to pay if this is under autoship where items get shipped out automatically? Paid GST to government for something that is never so heavy and also pay to Borderlinx. Then later they tell u they are sorry, they cannot refund u. They can only issue u credit note of USD440++ then how?

Cher's solution!

Ms Cher finally done it! Congratulations! She managed to place an order from Gmarket.. lets see what she said in the shoutbox or chatbox

4 Dec 10, 10:42 PM

Cher: Hi Jen, yay me! Finally I paid successfully! I chose another country instead of Vietnam, so I could make payment LOL. Then I went to Shopping List and changed delivery address. That's it!

Cher: I chose Thailand since both of those two countries's shipping fees are the same

Cher is from Vietnam and she's having problems with her Gmarket payment using paypal. Credit card also not accepted... and bear in mind that Vietnam is under the list of countries where Gmarket ships to. So its really weird. Well, hope those from Vietnam that are having issues with Gmarket payment can get some ideas from Cher's contribution.

Looking forward to her good news after she receive her gmarket loots! :P

================================================

P/S

Cher has received her package! So yea for those from Vietnam and having issues with yr payment, you may like to consider Cher's "strategy" At yr OWN RISK ok... hehehe...
