Not A Shopaholic

After seeing a real ‘tablet’ and reading a lot of posts about its usefulness for homeschool and such, I’ve been desiring to have one. I thought it would be a great tool for my kids’ homeschool especially my preschooler who’s having a hard time navigating the mouse during his computer time ( Starfall , Zoodles) . I’ve also been drooling at the ebooks and different apps available for me and my daughter. Oh and this is much better than the Kindle. Hubby also encouraged me to save up for a tablet first instead of a DSLR. ouch! But that was easy for him to convince me.

So, while I’m praying and saving up for a tablet, I did a bit of research on the different tablets available in the market. I checked on Asus Transformer, Blackberry Playbook, Acer Iconia Tab, iPad 2 and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. And you could guess that I got quite confused with the last 2 devices. They are almost similar in price, functions and specifications. When I googled on which device is better between the two, it seemed like there is a great debate ( or rather war) between the two. But as I read on and watched a few youtube videos ( comparing both), I’m leaning more towards the Galaxy tab. It does seem that the tab has features that appeal to me more ( personalization, better video and photo quality, better web experience because of flash). The iPad’s major strength ( I think) is its sturdy and sleek design, better control ( touch screen) and the hundreds of thousands apps available. As for the apps, I’m sure android will catch up on that and I sure won’t have the time ( and the money) to download the hundreds and thousands of apps.

So, Galaxy Tab it is.. and I hope I can have the $$ to buy one..

I was surprised to see a Mark and Spencer’s shop in Lim Ket Kai Mall. I’ve seen a lot of their shops in Malaysia but honestly, I’ve never been inside one. So, when I saw the M & S shop in Lim Ket Kai, my friend and I decided to go in.

I find a few of their items very nice like the blouses, down jackets and jeans but the price is a bit too expensive for me. But, when I tried on some of their perfumes, I was reminded to buy one as a gift for my Hubby. Fortunately, I found a cologne spray that smells so good and quite affordable for me too. I was happy with what I bought and I hope my hubby will like it too.

Yesterday was my very first time to visit a dermatologist. My acne is beyond control so, I thought of going to the skin clinic. I went to Skin R Us, a clinic that has been recommended by my cousin. It seems like a very famous clinic since it was packed with clients. I had to wait for more than an hour to be served. When it was my turn for consultation, the doctor just prescribed a few tablets and some topical solutions. I will have to religiously take the medicine and apply solution until my acne disappears.

Well, I just hope that this will work for me this time. It’s kinda the difficult to look for the right skin clinic these days, it’s almost like looking for the best rehab treatment centers in california.
