The Day I Did Online Shopping!!!

Recently, my sister in law went to US of A with a friend for the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival. Mei Chern, an aspiring musician that wrote and produced her own music were there to perform as well. So, do give her some support by buying her CD. Cheap cheap only la.

Ever since i blog and started to learn to make some money out of advertisment placements and also writing reviews, i have a pretty large amount of money stacked in my PayPal account. Please bear in mind the amount did not just came out within 6 months, but a rahter long 2 years.

And obviously, being in Malaysia won't help as the US of A people has branded most Asians (particularly Malaysians) to be cheater cock.

They do not trust us anymore.

So, don't tell me i am gonna leave those money i have in my PayPal inside the PayPal and does nothing, right?

I tell you, i initially thought my money in the online bank could buy me all the things i wanted, only to find out about the limitation with the "express courier", unless the items are being sold by Amazon themselves.

So, with whatever online cash i have, i went on to purchase all the items below:

1. Timex Men's Brown Leather Easy Reader Watch #T28201


2. Timex Men's Classic Black Leather Easy Reader Watch #T28071


3. Timex Men's Camper Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T40011


4. Timex Men's Ironman Triathlon 30-Lap Shock Resistant FLIX System Watch #T5F851


5. Timex Men's Camper Expedition Classic Analog Watch #T43892


6. Timex Men's Ironman Traditional 30-Lap Flix Fullsize Watch #T5H591


7. Bell Fitness Flexband Kit



It cost me (virtually) RM817.21 or USD 250. That works out to be RM116.74 each item or USD35.59 each, inclusive of 1 day delivery of USD 3.99 per item or RM13.08 per item. Net price without the posting charges would be RM725.60(USD221.22) or RM103.66(USD31.60) per item. Pretty ok, considering the most basic Timex digital watch with the M-Dot (IronMan) logo is circa RM90(?)

Item 1,5 and 6 is for wifey and item 2,3,4 is mine. Item 7 is for the both of us to use.

All these wouldn't had been possible if i did not blog and if my sister in law did not go to US of A. So, THANK YOU ANNA HAR!

I got a balance of RM75 odd left from the transfer of the PayPal to my local credit card, which i had to pay USD5/transfer for. But it is all worth it.

These items are virtually FOC and do take a guess which one is my favourite item?
