Not A Shopaholic

Christmas is fast approaching! Christmas is one of the most memorable time of the year as we remember how God gave us His son for us to be saved. As God has given, we should also show our love to others.

And of course, one of the best ways to show our love to others is by giving. When we think about giving, we always tend to think about materials things and thus money. But do you know that there are other things we can give to others during this season?

We can give our time.

We can give our listening ear.

We can give our thoughts, our loving words.

We can give a call to a friend who’s far away.

We can give a smile to those we come across.

We can give a helping hand to those in need.

And oh, the list just goes on and on.. Let’s give our love this season and throughout the days of our lives!

A few days ago I received a package from my close friend from college. It’s a Hawaiian costume for my 5 year old girl. Of course, my daughter loves it and she especially liked the ‘bra’! LoL!

This will be my daughter’s 3rd costume in her collection. She currently has a Wonderwoman suit and a Brazilian Dress. I wonder if an equestrian apparel can be added in her collection soon.

We will be going back to Thailand on Tuesday and we are not sure when we will be coming back to Malaysia again.

So, I made a list of things to buy here ( in Malaysia ) before going back to Thailand. You see there are items that are much cheaper here compared to Thailand. Some items are not also found in Thailand, so I better get a stock o these things ahead.

1) Baby Diapers – Yes, there’s a lot o price difference between two countries  especially with the brand that we are using ( Drypers).

2) Baby’s Milk- We use one  the cheapest milk here which is Fernleaf (1+ and 3+) . This brand is not available in Thailand while the rest of the brands that are available there are quite pricey.

3) Nestum – They don’t have this available there. They only have Quaker Oats. But my kids like Nestum more.

4) Cheese- There are more variety of Cheese brands to choose from here, so I usually get the Valuemetrics Cheese which I can get for only about 6-7 RM. While cheese ( 12 slices) in Thailand is more than a 100 Baht.

5) Wheat Flour – This is not a common item there.. I would want to get a pack or two of this, so I can try to make Wheat bread or Chappati.

6) All the other baking items like chocolate powder, flour and etc.

Cooking Oil and Sugar are also cheaper here in Malaysia. But I’m not so sure if the customs allow these items to cross the border.
