Gmarket Order

Gmarket  Purchase


Finally decided to buy something from Gmarket.
The box is really big.

As usual Gmarket purchase is my stuffs. My friends all not keen to buy Gmarket. Think because they dont anyhow spend $ like I do.


I like these clips so I ordered the same designs....
Quality is good.

 

This is a new technology.. I thought so but after I google for it, it doesnt seem so. Lancome has come out with something similar but its for powder. Basically the item on the left is BB cream whereas the one on the right is the applicator. Dot the BB Cream on the face and then run the applicator over the face. I cant believe i test it on my upper eyelids. Omg, must be very damaging for eyeballs *EEKS* so do NOT apply it on eye area/

Leather Bag

 This is a genuine leather bag. hmm quality wise of course cannot compare to leather bag of Prada/LV/Chanel but overall for the price, its value for $ since its not PU leather... but I dont know, the surface 'glow' or glossy portion doesnt seem like a real leather bag. However, the same page, seller did label some bags as PU leather, faux leather and this is under Genuine leather... hmmmm

 I have been thinking of buying these containers for a very long time because my makeup area are still very messing. I have lots of palettes and brushes so I really need something like this. I bought 2 boxes of the container without the drawer... but i think its not enough. Have to place another order soon.

This is what it looks like IRL. This is the 2nd box picture's item.

Gmarket Discount coupon walkthrough 2012

How to Apply Coupon @ Shopping Cart

 

click 'Shopping Cart' on top right corner to come this page... 

  From my knowledege, there's 2 ways of applying discount for discount coupon. This is one of the more straightforward ones. I normally applied after I have placed the items in my cart and decide which coupon to apply. There's few types of coupons and the % can be 5%, 7%, 10%, 12% so I will apply the highest % for the highest price products. 

 Ok.... go to yr shopping cart and click on the 'Coupon' box *refer to picture. ....

 you will come to this screen. Once a coupon is in use, you will NOT be able to apply it. You will have to 'Cancel' it (or "Un apply" it) to use it on another product.
Choose the discount coupon which you think will help you save the most. Based on eg, this product is the most expensive and should be applied 12% discount.

And you are not done yet

 Remember to click 'Apply' button or else yr effort down the drain

The page will refresh after u click 'Apply' and then, u will see the discount / new price displayed.

Remember that there will be expiry date for Coupons.
There's few ways of getting coupons. Will get to that next time. Otherwise dont be lazy and just take the initiative to find the ways of exploring it. I first started Gmarket when there's not much information to rely on.

Happy Gmarket shopping!

Gmarket Tutorial 1 (Shipping)

Oh man, its been very long since i shop gmarket kr. So i finally placed my order after 1yr MIA?

Now lets go through the tutorial of what will you see after u placed an order. This screenshoot (SS) is taken on day2 of the order.

 

Noticed that I mentioned items may be tracked. Seller may have been sending so many parcels so they know the date it will arrive in the HQ and entered this to let us know they acknowledge our order. At this point of time, it cannot be tracked because there's no buttons to click at all

This is the domestic delivery tracking. They have many different companies in Korea (i supposed) and this is one of them. The estimated delivery date for this parcel is 19-06-2012 and it has been delivered accurately on this date. The earlier screenshot of 17-06-2012 isnt from the same seller

Also pls note take note that not all can be tracked. I've another shipment and the estimated date is 19-06-2012 however the link that i clicked on doesnt has any tracking functions. Nonetheless the item has arrived in the HQ.

I have combined 2 orders into 1 (my usual habit!!!) and this time round i've paid 67210Won for the estimated weight of 19.25Kg.
Actual weight will not be known until all my items (right now one seller is taking own sweettttt time  @&#*@&!*@^ to deliver my item) arrived at the HQ.

They will weight and then any balance will NOT be refunded to my card. It will be placed into Gaccount instead. $$$ will be stuck there until ready to use. and I dont think i can do with partial payment. So it will be stucked until i decided to place something of that amount. Which means i need to really play around with my order. Tried it before but only thing i havent try is take out my $$$ to my bank account. Dont think its worth doing because of all the charges.

Rakuten Purchase - Pearl Watches

http://global.rakuten.com/en/

http://global.rakuten.com/group/

Picture from seller's website. The face of this watch is mother of pearl. Pretty nice.

This is nice too but the mother of pearl surface isnt as obvious.

Yippeee venture out into Japan. Although the radiation is an issues for me but i think i need to quickly buy the pearls that i like

Since i've spend so much $$$ with Yokota Pearls, I'm going easy with my wallet now by going for freshwater pearls.

Looking for multicolor ones since I've good Ak

oya pearls so to me, it makes no sense to buy white round freshwater pearls because normally they cant be as round & with that metallic overtone like Akoya.

This purchase is 2 pearl watches. One is freshwater white, the other is like tahitian pearls. I only took pictures of the white though. Order is shipped directly to me. Shipping takes abt 2days from Japan. Its really fast. Also, I like the fact that the seller enclosed 2 pcs of the pearl cloths for my purchases.

I've few other purchases where I used Tenso for forwarding services.

If possible, i do think its cheaper to ship direct because tenso charges services charges which is still considered reasonable. They also have a 14days policy for customers to park their stuffs in the warehouse. Consolidation can be done but big items like umbrellas etc cannot be combined. If you are interested, do remember to read up on their terms & conditions

I dont read Japanese but I've no issues with my order because its rather straight forward. Maybe because I know chinese and some of the Japanese words is Chinese characters, easier to guess the words? Anyway I'm glad i venture into Rakuten & shipping isnt that expensive too.

Dont have to worry abt crazy volumetric weight compared to items shipped from Europe/USA

p/s: I still have a few packages that was not updated. Need to update them too but first priority is Yokota Pearl purchases.

---------

Side track a bit... wow look at this. I think its ostrich leather. Hermes Birkin. Its expensive, look at how many '0'!!! lol

Busy busy...... purchases from Rakuten etc

Been so busy for months, Dec is a busy mth. Now, Jan? Busy with spring cleaning which i have not really start to clear my stuffs. Whats more?

CNY is just NEXT WEEK!!!!!! I dont even have time to go trim my hair. oh oh, i need to go trim my hair

So busy i havent do the following. Hope i can do so during CNY


1- Update my blog with pearl purchases from Yokota Pearl. This time round, i paid a lot, especially since Yen went up. Zzz

I really paid a lot, 5 digits. Daring huh? Thru www? The seller is honest & good so there's no worries. I received the items in late Nov.


2-I ventured into Rakuten Japan. Managed to get something from the Japan co, shipped directly to me. Dont really like the pearls I get. Freshwater pearls, pricing i cant remember how much I paid but after wearing it, i know i defintely need pearls with in between knots. Otherwise, they kept on biting my hair.


3-I've placed an order for pearl watch from R. Japan too. Seller is pretty slow but i think its okay because I've plenty of patience. I think they are slow because they waiting to receive the $?

Also, its not my style to chase after seller because i want things to be perfect/good. Especially when its customisation, time must be given to seller to prepare the items. Not forgetting that we are not the 'only' customers. I think this is understanding especially when sellers have to deal with other companies too (esp my case with Yokota Pearls, even customised a gold hardware thats in a rodhium design).



I just ordered from Rakuten Japan & from a seller that doesnt ship to Singapore. So I have to use a forwarding co. This is the first time I'm using it so lets hope that things will be okay.

Nice?


I plan to get another 3 items from different sellers & foward together to me. Not sure if i want to receive from one seller first, 'test' the courier co services first. But my instinct tells me that things should be great and fine. Nothing to be worried about.

Parcels and Parcels - Delivered!

Received a few shipments few mths back. I managed to get Tokkidoki stuffs and also Urban Decay makeup.
Took pics but too lazy to upload them. Probably going to do so soon

I also tried to order from Ryuten for the first time. Not bad. But its freshwater pearls and since its not very expensive, the pearls are more of potato shape. Cant really expect round pearls.


Then today I received my order from Spanx and also my Akoya Pearls from the same seller!!! This time round i really spend a lot of $$$ cause i get not 1 but 3 strands of necklaces. Then also 1 pair of earrings for my SIL.

Shall update the pics soon. Stay Tune!

See! So many stuffs LOL

The Cranberries in SG !!!

The Band that I adore most is IN TOWN!!! The Cranberries!!!!

The cranberries is the band that i really really love. Come to think of it, there isnt much band in the 90s. The cranberries is the one where there's guitarists, drummer and just one Singer. They compose their own songs etc... so they are really a very talented band, isnt it?

I remember listening to their songs during my secondary and poly days. I really love a lot of their songs..... this is the 2nd time they are in town for a concert. The first one was a concert, together with No Doubt. I have no idea of that concert until i watched the review in papers!!! My heart simply sank........ I cant imagine i actually missed that out!!

So now... fast forward to 2011, again, I have no idea they are coming until i checked out some forums. OMG! I missed it and I cannot buy CAT1 ticket with the first few rows of seats...... so i am really debating if i should go CAT1 alone or I should get a CAT2 tickets and asked someone to accompany me. ..... so since CAT1 tix is mostly sold out for the good seats, i decided to go for CAT2. I dont want my view to be blocked and end up seeing heads..... err as in other fans' heads. Ha!


The day has finally come.......


1st Aug 2011
8pm

Almost full! I have only been to one concert before this and this is actually my first paid concert! So i'm shocked to learn from someone who told me concert do not start until 9.45pm?!? My gosh!

But it wasnt long........ before the lights just went off!!! 8.20pm! Concert is going to start soon. My adrenalin is shooting up..... i'm so eager.... waiting and waiting......

Then the concert starts!

The first song..... i can hardly hear Dolores because her voice is drowned by the loud band music. .... so its true when people say Singapore indoor stadium doesnt do justice to singer's performance.... & its true!!! Especially for such LIVE concert!

Luckily for us, things get better soon after. Guess they made the adjustment to it. Great!

I was singing along songs that I love...... Just my Imgination, Animal Instinct, Analyze etc and its not until ZOmbies, Animal Instinct and Dreams that people around me began to warm up. Well, i'm those that warm up real fast because I know most of their songs! I can sing along!

Listening to the band live is really fanastic~ Awesome! I always pay attention to the intro where the band (guitarist, bassist, drummer) comes into play. It feel great listening to them jamming away before Dolores starts to sing!

Doloress!!
How I wish i'm those in front. She changes into just 2 outfits haha. But thats okay! We are here for the live band! We dont care abt her dressing. its her Vocal, the guitarist, bassist and drummer performance that made us feel High!!!!

They also played a few of their upcoming albums.... so we are one of those to listen them live, way before they are released in Jan 2012.


This fellow is really exaggerating. He's using a laptp?!? to record the event. So exaggerating! and hes right in front in the premium seats!!!

Just when the concert is at its peak, it finished....... sobsob Mummyyyyyyyy, its over!!!!

I'm like the few HIGH fans in that area. There's only like 3-5 of us standing up at times... and the others just sit down. The couple next to me, i believe they get their tickets from starhub mobile phone purchase. They are really mild........ just like the fellow that followed me to the concert. He's the one taking these pics. I'm simply too busy indulging myself in the concert.

I read the reviews, yea, sound systems at indoor stadium is not good. Such a waste!!! Dolores has such great vocal. She has her own unique singing style, she doesnt have to copy anyone! but the spotlights, i find them very cool!!! spectacular! Its also good i didnt get CAT1 because i dont think i can see anything on the concert day. Too much standing crowd, i mean u cant expect people in CAT1 to sit right?!?

I'm just so glad I went to the concert. Its one of the happiest time of my life!!!!

Faye Wong actually intimated Dolores singing style. When i told my peers back in the school days, i dont think any of them listened to me or believed me...... until she copied the song 'Dreams'! Totally following Dolores' singing style. THats the reason why I'm not into this song because i've heard Faye's version and it really turns me off.

Anyway, I'm glad that i actually sang along with the rest when Dreams was played. Im shocked i still remember the lyrics!

I'm looking forward to their new album in January.... and i hope that they will open a concert soon in Singapore again. 90mins is way too short. But of course, its tough on Dolores because she has to sing live 90mins!
