Cheaper Clinique

Clinique is cheaper in US compare to Malaysia, the price difference is quite alot for some and not much for others, the facial soap for instance, in Parkson it is RM60, at clinique.com, it is USD10, which is RM38 only. For the Clarifying moisture #2, May Lin just bought one 6.7fl bottle for RM70 at parkson, but online, it is only USD 10.50, which is only RM39.90, round up to be RM40, a sheer RM30 difference. Looks like I will have to stock up for May Lin this trip... hehe...

Sperm Bank

I was at a friends wedding dinner last weekend, where I manage to meet up with some of my school friends .  One of which has been working in this sperm bank in KL for about two years.  I didn ’ t even know and infact, none of us at the dinner know about sperm banks in M ’ sia till this guy told us.   His company would pay anyone willing, RM100 for a shot of sperm.  Qty can vary, depending on how much one person can produce per session.   And there is an additional RM100 bonus if the sperm count is high.  We were totally shock and was wondering how come we didn ’ t know about this earlier on, especially during our student days .  According to him, the company has been in KL since 1987 , we were all like.. “ what the ”… If only we knew last time, we would have made some good deal of money … hehe.. He was telling that there is this 17 years old kid earns RM4000 in a period of 6 months … wow.. This is a lot of money for that age.  This is a good side income, for those who

Digital Prints

I went over to BJC last night to have some photos printed (from http://sweetsour.uni.cc/galleries/thumbnails.php?album=12 ). I asked some of my friends here in office they told me that the cheapest that we can get for 4R digital print here in Penang is about RM0.45 per piece.  However, he doesn’t know where it was.  Since I was quite in a hurry, and I didn’t want to or rather lazy to scout around, I just went to a photo shop that I know in BJC, the ground floor Kodak Photo Shop that is in the middle (literally) of the complex.  It cost Rm0.60 per piece, quite a lot more than the cheapest price, but since I am only printing a few, I didn’t mind.  It only took a hour to get the photos developed and we paid RM4.00 for one of the photo to be blown up to 5R.  Notice the huge price difference between 4R & 5R.  However, the photos did not turn up as expected.  The shop pretty much adjusted the contrast and color a little and that resulted red blemishes (like rashes) to appea

The search for Rechargeable Batteries

With the new camera, I need to get new rechargeable batteries. I did some digging and found the highest mAh is 2500mAh and the fastest charger is 15 minutes. I have not decided which to buy yet. Energizer Energizer have a few kind of chargers, the 15min charger, the 30min charger, the car charger and the regular chargers. The energizer web site is rather rich in information, especially on how rechargeable batteries work . There are also information on other batteries types and also how to care for your batteries and a whole heap of batteries information. Best battery site I have seen, with nice cartoonist illustration and animation. The Technical Information is available, but it was not detailed enough for my liking, and this is the only drawback that the site has. Charging Time Cost 15Min $3x 30Min $27 Car Charger (2 hrs) $26 Regular charger (4-8hrs)
