Strolling down the snack aisle

25 06 2008

Strolling down the aisles in an asian store is fun. You get to see different types of food which hails from all over … well … Asia.

My favourite aisle is the SNACK / JUNK FOOD / TIDBITS of coz! :)

You can get “Seasoned Scallop”. I think it should read “Seasoned Scallop”

Almonds with ..anchovies?? :o

And some cute seaweed snack :)

YUMMY





Always read the FINE/EVASIVE print … Cellulean.com

19 06 2008

I was not not being CAREFUL and did not read the TERMS AND CONDITIONS properly. But in my opinion, Cellulean.com target people like me for business. It was an EXPENSIVE lesson. So, still feeling cheated, I have to write about it :P

It all started when I read in the magazine saying that this product can help let me quote “Reduces the Appearance of cellulite and unwanted fat”. And you can buy a free trial and pay for the $10 shipping. So, why not? This concoction can’t possiblymake my kaki gajah worse. Not that kaki gajah is not nice since my dad says my mom’s kaki gajah is absolutely beautiful. :P

I bought the trial, without carefully reading a paragraph which shows up after I click on a check box saying that I want to purchase the trial. The paragraph mentioned about automatic billing and shipment. There isn’t any checkbox which needs me to check it to show that I agree on the terms.  So, they did inform me about this, ONCE.

The purchase confirmation page did not state about the regular subscription, nor there is any email which reminds me about my trial which is going to end, or that they are shipping and charging for the second bottle for … $79! Anyone wants to buy me lunch tmr?

Just realize this when I receive the package today.

Called the customer service, kenot refund. Their 100% satisfaction guaranteed can’t be applied for “purchases” after the trial. Browsed online and there are several posts written by people who had the same predicament as me.

I do not think that they are doing anything illegal (of coz not, will get sued :P left and right) but they do not really have a transparent and honorable business practice.

As for now, I am not sure if this product really works coz I do not really pay attention to its effectiveness, but since I unwillingly paid for the second bottle, I should start measuring my thighs, arms, tummy etc!

This is how I feel after the EXPENSIVE lesson. Ignore the mouth on the background





Toothaches albeit frequent visits to the dentist

18 06 2008

I had 3 fillings and 1 crown done this year. I floss and brush my teeth diligently. I brush my tongue too! And the dentist mentioned that I all need is to extract one of my wisdom teeth and I am good to go.

However, I have having toothaches on BOTH sides of my mouth!!! *Puzzled*

I like … DIYs

8 06 2008

I like to make stuffs. I ENJOY the whole process of making them. I miss the feeling of happiness and excitement when I am making them.

When I was in high school, I like making buku folios. I loved decorating the pages so that they looked pretty. I was quite picky in completing those books. If I was not satisfied with how a page or cover looked, I’ll buy more papers or covers and redo again. That being said, I also loved writing for buku autograf or biodata. It was such a big thing then.

I love making presents or cards for friends who I cared because I feel that they are more personalized.

I knitted scarfs for a few people.

Of course, there are people who do not know how to appreciate these stuffs. ;P

I have not made stuffs for a loooooong time.

Yesterday, I made this. I felt happy the whole time I was making it.

Ta-da! My masterpiece!
