Going to MIA from my blog

I am going to start going MIA from my blog soon. In fact, I always do but never inform in advance. Haha. School is going to start next week and I am going to be really busy cause this is the first time I am taking 5 modules in 1 semester and most of them are very heavy. Hence, I will start going MIA until I find the time to blog.

Before I go MIA from my blog, I want to share some bags I bought recently. Waiting for the seller to update me on the postage charge.

Kelly bought clothes clothes

Hehe. Happy happy. I bought clothes. =) One from Bonito Chico (one of Leanne's favourite blogshops) and one from Lolliepop Bestie. The denim frock from BC was already sold out when I saw it so I ordered through backorder while the one from LB was pending when I saw it and thankfully the deal fallen through so I get to buy it. Hehe.

However, new clothes also mean I have to throw some out if not Mummy will start nagging. Guess I have to start throwing them out on Saturday. =[


By the way, did I also mention that my shoes from the spree had arrived last week? Exactly the day after my birthday. =D Birthday presents for myself. Gave Mummy the yellow pumps as she likes that kind of design and that pair is super comfy. Kept the other two for myself. Double happiness. =D

The Sims 3

Should I buy?

AND I need money to spend in Australia in December and money to pay for SS501 concert ticket in Singapore in December.


MONEY MONEY COME TO ME!

Fr3b



I just received my samples from Fr3b and caused them a bit of trouble because I forgot to take note of the transaction reference. =P Love the samples though I haven't started trying them out.

But I love samples. Wahahaha. Samples give you a chance to try out the products to test their effectiveness and suitability before paying bucks for it.

I used to pay hundreds over dollars just to try out different products which some ended up unsuitable for me yet I am unwilling to throw them out and stop using them since they cost a lot. I think Fr3b is a really great idea, allowing you to try the samples, give your reviews of them and to read the reviews of the products by others. That's why I love Fr3b. =P

There are some new stuffs available on Fr3b, check it out if you have not. =D

PERFUMES, BB CREAMS, SKIN CARES, HAIR CARES, NON-EXPOSURE TAPES, ETC

Shoes!!!

I LOVE SHOES! BUT mum hates to see new additions to my 'collection'. I am buying behind her back now. =P

This is one pair that I like but sadly I don't have clothes to match this pair so I didn't get it.

I think this pair is sweet too. But it looks a little uncomfortable so I didn't get it.


I love this pair for its uique design but I doubt I will wear it out so again I didn't get this.


Now, the few pairs that I bought:

This is 1 cheap pair of pumps that I bought. It costs $7.70 only. Hohohoho.

Wedges. This pair caught my eye and I knew I must get it. Hehe. It costs about $16.


Another cheap pair of shoes. I like this pair because of its simple and heel-less design. It also only costs $7.70.

New members to the 'family'. Looking forward to their arrival. =D

NUS Anime Fair

I am beginning to love NUS. LOL. But only the Anime club. (=P) I didn't know that there was an Anime Fair since Wednesday till I saw the notice today and it should have ended by now. The first thing I saw at the Anime Fair was not some Anime character or merchandise but OTAH PRATA and CLOTHES.

OMG! It sounds so wrong. Haha. Before I started looking for Anime related stuffs, I was shopping for clothes. (=P) Really dirt cheap. Abercombie denim skirt for only S$12 and tees at prices cheaper than Bugis Street. I bought 2 tees for $10.

Then I started walking around the fair and saw many Anime merchandise. OMG! They are all so pretty and I just want to bring them all home. Hehe. I ended up buying 2 merchandises before I finally persuaded myself to leave the fair or not I would be so broke. Haha.

The 2 merchandises I bought are not for myself but my 2 brothers. Lucky them. (=D)


Sorry, I forgot to rotate the picture but I am just too lazy to upload it again. (=p) I bought this watch at the Anime Fair for my brother. Hehe. It is really pretty. Take a look at the closed up picture below.


AND, I bought this for my bro. It is just so pretty and stylish that I know I must buy. (=p) By the way, the colour is closer to the first picture but the second shows the swords clearer.

Investment

I want to start investing a portion of my savings now. Problem is how? I still don't know how to view the returns and only know how to view the risk. I know I cannot take too much risk and will prefer a fixed income than speculating and earning capital earns.

I already know which website should I go to to invest and read timely financial reports. Haiz. HELP!!!

21st

Counting down to my 21st. 5 more days to my birthday, 4 more days to my celebration and 3 more days to checking in to the chalet! (=D) By the way, the cake above is my cake on that day. Ordered 2.5kg because Esther told me her cake was 2kg and we have about the same number of guests. BUT, hours after I made payment she told me her cake could be 3kg. (-.-')

Will be doing manicure tomorrow. Still not sure which nail salon bar to go to. I am very fickle-minded so I may change my mind anytime. (=P)

Reminded my bro that my birthday is coming. I asked him what is he getting for me. I guessed koala bear and kangaroo but he said no. He said he got me a platypus. LOL. Maybe because koala bear and kangaroo are too heavy? Haha. Don't know if my present will reach me before my birthday. (=P) I am trying to be as patient as possible. Hehe.

Random

I cancelled the eyeshadow spree as the shipping cost is really too 'shocking' high. Ended up spree-ing at Spreehouse. (=D) For those who are interested, you can check out the website, 88 eyeshadow spree. All I need to do now is to wait and shake my legs. LOL.

-

Some updates regarding my birthday celebration. I already placed an order for my buffet for 80 pax. Actually I have more than 80 guests. But not to worry as there will be a mini BBQ. (=P)

I will be heading to the cake shop later to order my cake which will be a 'key' (so old-fashioned but no other nicer designs), order satay and otah later on and probably buy some more stuffs. Hehe.

I can't wait. (=P)

Smokey eyes

GREAT!!! I managed to do smokey eyes by myself. I watched videos on Youtube and tried it myself. Hohoho. I am so smart. Hehe. Shameless, right?

But sadly no photos as it doesn't shows well with my camera. Only problem I have now is how to make it balance. (-.-') LOL. My right eye is perfect but my left eye looks lighter no matter how I add dark blue to it

Hopefully I can master it before Saturday. (^^)

-

I bought the dark blue eye shadow and 2 eye shadow brushes from The Face Shop today to try out smokey eyes.

Post for me


I just received my free samples from Fr3b. They are so efficient and that is great. (=D) Will try out the samples soon. Hehe. Those who are worried about whether the website is a scam, not to worry as I got my stuffs alright. (=])

At the same time, I received my post about HOTA. I think most of you should know about HOTA since it made a big hoo-haa a few years ago. HOTA is an act for organ donation in Singapore. Anyone aged between 21 to 60 will automatically be included in this scheme and Muslim will be included starting 1st August 2008. Told my mum I don't wish to opt out and she was quite shock. (=P) Hehe. She asked me why and I told her when I (*choy) die, it doesn't matters to me anymore. If I can save someone after I (*choy) die, it will be good. (>.<) Anyone else thinks this way too?


EYESHADOW SPREE STILL ON TILL FRIDAY (27 JUNE 2008) 12 NOON!

New purchase


Oh no, I have been spending too much lately. I just bought a pair of shorts from MNG 2 days ago. Luckily there was a sale and I could get the shorts at $31. The material is great and comfortable; the design is great too. But I still find it expensive. (=P)

Birthday celebration = BUSY

I am currently busy with the preparations of my 21st birthday celebration. Major problem is food!

I am ordering from Neo Garden for my buffet but there are so many questions that were left unanswered. I just bombarded them with 10 questions through the email and hopefully I will receive their reply tomorrow.

My BBQ is a problem now. I am having BBQ on 2 nights. The first will be a mini one with my close relatives and the second will be during the celebration day. My parents are now cutting down on the BBQ food that I intended on ordering. Reason being - no one will want to stand at the BBQ pit for hours when there is a buffet. Fair enough so I already cut my BBQ food to the minimum. But still I will need to find someone who is willing to help out at the BBQ pit.

My cake is another problem. I wanted a durian cake initially but my parents are pretty against it. Not for the price (since I am the one paying) but not everyone takes a liking for durians. We already found out 5 among my close relatives who don't like durians. That means I have to think of another cake base. I am also still quite confused on the design of the cake to get.

Food problem as above and now decoration. I wanted helium balloons at first but realised that it may not be feasible as the chalet most likely has ceiling fan and the living room is not air-conditioned. So I will have to think of something else now.

Planning is tiring and I can't imagine Leanne planning 2 birthdays. Leanne, 你辛苦了!

I found my belt!


That is 1 item off my wishing list. (=D) Shopped at Bugis with Esther yesterday. Found my belt like 5 minutes after meeting Esther. Hehe. I am always an efficient shopper. (=p) Went to BHG to play with the perfume tester and we found a perfume that I loved. The problem is I didn't dare to ask for the price. The perfume is Christian Dior branded and I presumed that it will be bloody expensive.

BUT

I keep the tester strip. (=p) It still smells good and strong. Hehe.

We walked around a little more and Esther bought a Commodities bag. Then we decided it was lunch time. We met pretty early, 11am, and we hadn't had our lunch so we headed to Seoul Garden. Actually I wanted to introduce Esther to V8 but since both of us hadn't dine at Seoul Garden for a long time, we thought we should eat there. We each paid around $16 for the buffet and I think we wasted our money. We didn't eat much. In fact, we ate very little. Still, I ate more than Esther. Hehe.

After filling our stomachs, we went back to Charles & Keith in search for a pair of heels that Esther has been eyeing on. Didn't manage to find it there but I found a really stylish dinner pouch. It is very pretty and EXPENSIVE. For a small bag, it costs $49.90. Maybe you will find the price alright but I am not someone who splurge on stuffs that I cannot use frequently. (=x)

So it is not surprising at all that I didn't buy it. I went back to Tampines a couple of hours later and bought a bag from Esprit. I don't think I will be able to use it frequently but at least I will be able to use it when I go shopping. (=D) Best of all, the price is only $29.90. Usual price being $49.90. I am STINGY! (=p)

Shopping

I am going shopping at Bugis today, in search for a belt to go with that yellow dress. (=D)

I also need to start withdrawing cash from my bank account to pay for my b'day expenses. I hate to see how my bank balance will fall after my b'day. Sob. There is already a drop of almost $2000 in my POSB and soon I will see $0 in my UOB account. (T.T) I WANT to collect my tuition fee!!! That will at least makes me feel lots better.

This means less money to shop today. Oh no! I felt so deprived of shopping ever since I bought my laptop. I kept feeling guilty about the purchase and not to mention knowing that I could get F6S with more RAM and hard disk space for the same price. (T___T)

I didn't go to the PC Show because I fear this but I still got to know that. (-.-") I have been consoling myself that I paid more (in terms of opportunity cost) for better processor (mine is T8300 2.4GHz and the one at PC Show is T8100 2.1GHz) and a white cover. Please tell me I am right and don't try to contradict me. I might bring a knife to your house the next day. LOL. Just kidding. I will just use a chopper. (=P)

Actually I don't mind the hard disk space at all since I was given a free 160GB external hard disk. The person who sold me the laptop told me not to upgrade my RAM to 3GB as increment in RAM may cause a fall in the speed of the laptop. It has something to do with having 2 RAM of different capacity and slowing down the processor. Whatever heck. I cannot understand that part but the rest is fine. Oh yes, my laptop is lighter. (=x) Hehe. about 200g lighter than the black F6S. Great, I feel better now. (=P) Hehe.

B'day wear hunt

I have been hunting for my b'day wear. Finally found something I like and not too formal. And it is in YELLOW! I have taken a liking for yellow, brown and pink lately so that suggests why most of my stuffs are yellow, brown and pink now. Lol. I used to be a white and purple person but I have opened up to other colours now. Hehe.

Being able to find this dress is all thanks to Leanne. (=D) Thank you, Leanne. Hehe. She had been pasting websites to me when we were online because I just couldn't find something that I like. After many fruitless days, I finally found my love today.

I had been saying that I didn't want something too short but I still end up with a 28.5 inch long dress. (=P) Not that it is very short but I just got a scratch from Wan Xin's puppy yesterday. Lol. The scratch is quite long and is on my left thigh so initially I wanted something that could cover the scratch but not anymore. I think e brown wound will goes well with the yellow dress. (=P)


*

Went to T3 today with Wan Xin and Darius. This is the first time we meet Darius after his surgery. He looked okay just that he kept saying 'ouch'. LOL. T3 is really disappointing. So quiet and spacious yet not fully utilised. While waiting for Darius-late king to reach T3 we walked around T3 and by the time the late king reached, we were so sick of T3. We left and headed to T2 then T1. We kept moving around and finally settled at Popeyes for some fries and shortly after we left.

Wan Xin and I brought our cameras but there is totally nothing to take. The airport is getting boring now. Lol.

Courts = Unprofessional

I am raging in anger now. I feel like tearing Courts apart at this very moment. Please never shop at Courts. Their after-sale service is like sh*t! I am going to share my experience here with the email reply from Courts.


I bought an Acer notebook from Courts (Tampines outlet) on 4th July 2005. It was a very quick procedure as I knew what I wanted to get. I told the sales personnel what I wanted and he told me to get '2 years extended warranty'. I agreed as I read that notebook is not long-lasting and getting additional years of warranty is only for the good. So I proceeded to the cashier to make payment and after I made payment, the sales personnel approached me to inform me, only after payment, that the notebook was out of stock. I wasn't in a hurry so I said I would wait. This was my first shopping experience with Courts and at that moment, I did not realise that I have to get the tax invoice back from the cashier which the cashier did not return to me.

The next day, I went back to Courts to get a photocopied version of the invoice from the sales personnel. All these times, the sales personnel did not inform me about the terms and conditions of the extended warranty.

Weeks after 4th of July, I finally received my notebook. The sales personnel did not call me up but it was me who kept calling him up for updates. He did not bother to call me up even when the notebook arrived in store.

2 years and 11 months passed peacefully. The notebook served me well until the frequency of the screen started giving me problems. I decided to get a new notebook which is the current one I am using. When I decided to double-check my invoice for the Acer notebook, I remember the 2 years extended warranty so I told my mum I would send it for repair.

I called the extended warranty hotline and no one answered, thinking that self carrying in will do the trick, I carried the 3kg Acer notebook to the outlet that I bought my notebook from. I was not given basic attention and was told to call the extended warranty hotline again. So I called again. First try, the line was cut off and finally the second try managed to get me through to the customer service officer on the other end. The officer checked my records and told me my warranty expired 1 year ago. I was so surprised that I almost shouted at the officer.

'2 years extended warranty' to me refers to 2 years additional warranty on top of the original warranty covered by Acer. But no, I was told that '2 years extended warranty' means 1+1 year warranty. Can you imagine my shock? I paid $199 for only 1 extra year of warranty and when my invoice stated '2 years extended warranty'.

I wasn't ready to let it rest yet so with encouragement from Leanne, I sent a complaint to Courts.

"I bought an Acer notebook from your Tampines outlet on the 4th July 2005 with an extended warranty of 2 years. Now that the screen of the notebook has some problems, I called your Extended Warranty hotline to be told that my warranty expired last year. It was outraging to think that I spent $199 for 2 years extended warranty but instead furnished with only a 1+1 year of warranty.

Your invoice also stated '2 years extended warranty'. Unless I am very mistaken, I understood the word 'extended' as additional. If you do not wish to comply with the stated warranty in your invoice, kindly not put the word 'extended' to mislead your customers. I was also not told of this when your sales personnel enthusiastically encouraged me to purchase extended warranty.

Personally, I felt very cheated by the way Courts works. I hope for a satisfying reply."


After acquiring some additional information from me, here is the reply from Courts:

"Dear Ms Kelly

Thank you for your email dated 13 June 2008 about the warranty period of your Acer notebook.

We apologise for the misunderstanding. Please allow us to confirm that you have received a copy of the Terms and Conditions of the Extended Warranty (printed at the back of your invoice).

We like to refer you to the clause which states “The term of the Contract is two(2) to five(5) years from purchase date or delivery date (whichever is later) inclusive of original manufacturer’s warranty period”. As you purchased the Acer notebook on 4 July 2005, the Extended Warranty expired on 3 July 2007. As such you may need to approach ACER’s technical support for support/repair.

We seek your understanding in this matter."


No, I don't understand and I don't wish to understand. Why wasn't the terms and conditions made known to me in the first place before I made payment?

So I replied again:

"I do have the invoice but it is a photocopied one of the original invoice. When I paid for my notebook at the cashier, the cashier did not return the invoice to me and I didn't know that I was supposed to collect it back. I had to double back the next day to get a photocopied version from the sales personnel and he only photocopied the first page. So I am perfectly unaware of any terms and conditions of the extended warranty which the sales personnel did not also highlight to me.

On top of it, I did not receive the notebook on the date of purchase. I received it only weeks after the purchase as I wasn't told the notebook was out of stock until I paid for it. I had to keep calling for updates of the notebook instead of the sales personnel calling me up. It was surprising to know that this wasn't noted in the invoice or data system on your side.

I have been enduring all these unprofessional service on your side and now I have to endure more. Thanks for you reply but I am utterly disappointed by the after-sale service provided by Courts. I am never buying from Courts again."


I am pretty sure I won't be getting a reply for this with that last sentence in my email. Be it that they replied or not, I marked my words never to shop at Courts again.
