oh hi mates!

is your lambretta behaving?

i wrote an email to georg jensen bond street last week, requesting for a quote of the rubber strap. instead of charging me, they sent it to me for free! now, this is what we regard as customer service excellence.

it is the rubber strap for my ellipse keyring. for more info:

not all fred perry are made in china; M12/2010 world cup series/fred perry x asos limited edition/100 years collection are made in uk, F1153/F1102/M120 are made in japan, about half of fred perry laurel, blank canvas and fred perry x raf simons collections are made in portugal. there are also made in scotland and italy fred perry polos.

btw, fred perry doesn't merely produce twin tipped polo.

fred perry knitted polos:

please don't get me wrong. i do own a fair bit of lacoste polos; i am just sharing some info so that ppl won't misunderstand that fred perry are all made in china and only available in twin tipped.

Screw those who cannot agree with your style; we don't live in a communist country. Style is really a matter of preference and it is very much personal. Just buy and wear what you like the most and comfortable with.

Thanks heaps. i got most of my fref perry whilst i was travelling. some from online stores.

With my limited knowledge in rl, i would say that both fp and rl are almost identical in quality, and are better than lacoste.

Lol thanks. The White centenary t is still available. If I happen to come across, I will give you a heads up.

I was on shopping spree, mainly to get ready for my Bangkok trip this weekend. It is hot and humid there and I realise I need to pack some t-shirts and shorts. Ended up getting 4 Ts from uniqlo and 2 shorts from philosophy. I like the corporate collab Ts very much. At rm39.90 per piece, it is a steal.


Picked up a new samsung galaxy s2, samsonite cosmolight and some products from crabtree and evelyn on my way back. I finally can dump the very much out-dated blackberry.





The lightest and strongest samsonite so far. You can't go wrong with german. I picked the silver, size 28.



Be using these for years. Very masculine and yet not too overwhelming. Those on the left (wooden box et al) are for home.



My apologies for the long winding story. I am just bored at home.

Now back to my itinerary planning stage.

Mine is rm1990, size 28'. The largest is 32' at rm2590 if I am not mistaken. Not like the other samsonite models, there is no size 30' or else it would be perfect.

FYI, some airlines would refuse any luggage that beyond 30' especially when you are entering the states.

How much is the rimowa topaz for the same size? I am contemplating to get one in cabin size.

I do have a crabtree and Evelyn gift pack for sale, meant for ladies. Do check out my sales thread.

I won't be surprise. My fav is the classic flight in cabin size. Oh well it may only happen towards the end of this year.

Just for comparison, in Singapore the same cosmolight (28') is being priced at sgd870, which translates to rm2088 (with exchange rate of 2.4). If you fly back to Malaysia, you wil get about 6% vat rebate at the airport, which is rm125.28. Now your cosmolight will cost you rm1962.72. You only save about rm27.28 but you have to drag the luggage bag and show it to the customs

Seriously? Damn! Never dream to become one! I am, in reality, very meticulous with my spending. I only spend on those that I regard as 'investment'. Well, my calculation above is a good evidence.

i saw one exactly like yours the other day. i quite like it but too bad only black was available.

brand is a plus point, if you ask me. if both articles have the same features and almost identical in style and appearance, i won't mind to fork out a little extra for the brand but my priority will always be on its functionality and features; will it serve my objective of procuring this article?

for instance, i have these don't-know-what-brand keychains that have been serving me well for the past few years:



they have a unique screw-in mechanism that not only secures my keys but also allows me to take keys out without any hassle. unlike other conventional ring-type keychains whereby you will have hard time getting keys in and out, and if you repeat the same process for more than 3 times, the ring will 'expand' slightly (if you know what i mean). ppl told me i could get a designer brand keychain for the amount of money i paid for one of my keychains, well, i can't blame them......

don't get me wrong, i do like, to certain extent, designer brands. just fyi, i will be using a gucci holdall on top of the newly procured samsonite later this afternoon.

Added on August 4, 2011, 11:23 pmI just touched down late last night. It was indeed a relaxing vacation for both my wife and I.

Procured some handkerchieves by Naraya and silk pochette by jim thompson. At 40 bht and 350 bht respectively, these are a steal!





As always, my trip to Thailand will not complete without a visit to boots pharmacy.



A cheap thrill from Bangkok. For home. I missed pan puri, thann, mt sapola and prann.



Last minute shopping at the airports - jo malone vetyver cologne and, dunhill cuff links and tie bar. I don't understand why jo Malone can never make it to our shore. There were so many ppl in its shop. I had to wait for a good half an hr before being served by the shop assistant.

Kotmj, nice haul! Care to furnish details?

It is alright if they are brandless. this thread is not about expensive and branded stuff; it is about what you had procured recently. so pls feel free to share with we all.

I have seen numerous times whereby ppl spent a fortune but the effect after putting on those stuffs doesnt portray any style and taste.

just came back from abroad and collected quite a fair bit of parcels.

Six Scene Series Two: Nicoll No 17 fragrance.



shall reveal more......
