I got an email from my webhosting to ask me to renew my hosting subscription. And hey, suddenly I realised that I have been in this domain for 2 years! Of course blogging history is much longer than that, which is about 4 and half years by now.
As you can see, I am slowly losing my passion to blog as I used to. Another blogger blames it on Facebook; a more efficient way that she uses to update all her friends, not to mention the convenience of the application.
But I am not ready to give up this domain just yet; after all I could see a lot of visitors daily; some friends and some from search engine.
Maybe I should find an alternative than paying the hefty sum of the web hosting subscription every year. After some searching, I found that some webhosting is offering a better package in term of the subscription fees, bandwidth and space. Of course, traffic plays an important point for consideration as well. I can easily compare the packages for the top wordpress web hosting at WebHosting Rating, not to mention the many useful articles.
But the big question now is to continue or not; or perhaps switch back to the free blogging platform?

Two Lipstick and A Lover
Filed Under book | Leave a Comment
Finally finished the Two Lipstick and A Lover within about 2 weeks. I just love this book and hope to get other book written by Helena Frith Powell; at about the same range of price, hopefully!
Every chapter of the book tells about a subject of French women, be it their living style, FASHION, culture, work, food or man. It is very interesting to discover the differences of them with the people in UK, or any part of the world.
While I was reading it, I hope the book will never end. I will of course read them again in the future! There are plenty of good tips as well as eye-opener for me! ^.^
For example, French women will not get caught wearing trainers even when they are going to the market! A lipgloss is essential when
they are bringing the trash out! And art is a major thing in French. Intellectual plays as big as a role as beauty in French!
Fascinating!

Bargains~!
Filed Under me, life | 2 Comments
I’ve been renting books since beginning of this year, or was it last year? And the prices are still cheaper than new book but not really if compared with books on sales!
I got these three on bargained prices at Big Book Sales at Atria Shopping Mall, only $6 each! Amazing prices!
In Japan, people live longer than anywhere else on Earth; obesity is unknown, and 40-year-old women look like they're 20. Filled with recipes and reminiscences, this book is for those who are tired of counting calories and carbs, and finding themselves on diets that don't work. It offers a fresh approach to a healthier and longer lifestyle.
Why is it that French women look just as glamorous in a T-shirt and pair of jeans as in a sleek designer dress? How do they look sexy, chic and timelessly elegant from eighteen to eighty? Pencil-thin, stylishly dressed and, always, impeccably groomed?
In search of answers, travel and lifestyle journalist Helena Frith Powell goes behind the scenes to investigate the famous French je ne sais quoi. Talking to fashion gurus, beauty experts and It Girls, professional seducers, lingerie designers and personal shoppers, she discovers a whole new world: indispensable wardrobe and beauty secrets; shopping done the right way and exercise routines promising lasting success; advice on sex toys, family life, relationships and clandestine affaires.
Not to mention the more amazing price for a pair of Levi’s at $80 at the warehouse sales at the same mall, today is the last day though. Happy with my shopping loots.
Although I was able to refrain myself from buying that pretty black knitted top at Isetan Mega Sales on Friday, I caved in to these books and jeans.
Happy with my shopping loots. ^.^
Also attended sort-of gays party on Saturday night; a real eye opener for me, another level deeper in understanding the fancy community. And I enjoyed their high-class-bitching in a humorous and friendly way. Not to mention the good food & awesome service! Thanks.

House Warming
Filed Under stuff3 | Leave a Comment
Somehow I was rather looking forward the housewarming party invitation from AD on Saturday night. The condo was situated in the city center and I love the view from the 18th floor.
AD has nicely renovated the condo, with kitchen cabinets, tiles on the walls, impressive bathrooms and plaster ceilings.
I love his choices of furniture; the strong dining table, lovely sofa and not forgetting the modern bed in the master bedroom. It is certainly a smart pick from ERoomService, blending everything together harmoniously.
It’s a very comfortable and yet modern condo. Not to mention great food; most of them homemade! Fabulous!
