Cheap & Good!

With the price hike in most things nowadays, people are looking at cost-cutting to reduce their burden to match their budget expenses but at the same time are able to spend a little on their hobby. Moreover with the economy downturn last year, people are reducing their spendings on the un-necessaries. I am of course one of them! Nevertheless, my job function requires me to be presentable and so dressing up is very essential. One fine day, curious after hearing about the funs and joys of pasar malam (night market), my friend and I decided to give it a try. We were so thrilled when we first stepped into the haven of everything! You can find almost everything from pasar malam, from food to clothes to shoes to bags! And to our surprise, most of the clothes sold there were actually equivalent to the ones sold in boutiques of shopping complexes but at much cheaper price. Trust me, if you are diligent at finding the right stalls, you will be able to find clothes of very good quality at a super reasonable price!
Look what I have gotten so far...

Monday night: Mayang Pasir, Bayan Baru
Tuesday night: Tanjong Tokong
Wednesday night: Farlim
Friday night: off Perak Road

An unconventional way of shopping~~

Shopping has always been everyone's best hobby especially to the female counterparts. I personally love to shop and buy! Lucky for me, I am able to find a group of friends who share the same interest. While we enjoy the conventional shopping escapades, we recently dip ourselves into online shopping. And...to our surprise, this is a very addictive exercise indeed! The joy of going through all the pictures of attractive models donning those beautiful tops, skirts, shoes and even bags are so captivating that we could not help but to fall prey into such economy.

Online shopping has indeed seen its growth over the past few years with more and more sellers coming up. Sales of fashionable wears from tops to bottoms to shoes to bags to accessories and even beauty products such as cosmetics, masques and the list goes on! This phenomenon has indeed made its growth and is definitely going to grow bigger in the coming future.
Online shopping is not just applicable for women as it also caters for men. Stuffs like laptop, games, cd's, dvd's and many more which are of interest to men are also found online.
Having made purchases from different buyers, I have to point out that there are definitely untruthful sellers out there ready to cheat our money.  However, knowing very well we have no priorities to check our goods before payment, we can just count on our luck. Anyway, many sellers now practise a 1-week (more or less) full refund for faulty goods. So, be sure to check your goods immediately upon receipt.
And, just for some readers who are curious as to where to get good goods, here are some pictures of what I have gotten from reliable sellers whom I recommend!

Oh ya, besides all the nice products to suit your taste, another advice to remember when shopping online is to deal with sellers with quick and good respond skills.
Well, so much for now, good luck and happy shopping!
