Waterproof cartoon bibs - are they good?

I was shopping around for new bibs for my daughter because her existing stock is old coz I haven't bought new bibs since she was a few months old. :) I saw something in OG last week and they cost $7.90 each before discount and even with 10%, I would still need to pay over $7 for one waterproof bib. Then I decided to check out Gmarket and got to this seller's page.

See how happy my daughter is after I put one of it on her!



I bought a total of 5 bibs to save on shipping as I paid for registered mail. I've lost one item through normal delivery and reckon it is more worth while to pay for registered mail then have the item lost again.

Below is the other few designs I bought:





Overall I would say this is really worthwhile as the material doesn't feel and look cheap. Not sure how long it is going to last me but for now I think it is a good buy as I only pay $3.06 for each bib after dividing the shipping and the registered mail for 5 bibs. Super worth it! :) Thanks seller for bringing such good bargain to us!

Suction bathroom holders

I am renovating my new place and need to install some holders in the bathroom to hold my shampoo and shower cream. So this link is very useful because it sells suction holders that do not require drilling of holes.

I've ordered 2 toilet paper holders and 2 corner triangle holders. Read the reviews that the product really holds tightly to the tiles and hopefully when I receive mine, they are really that good. Expected delivery date is 22 Jun.

Low Calories Zero Sugar Smoothies

Well, how tempting hor.. haha... low calories and zero sugar smoothies... just the title makes me want to give it a try. Especially when i have gained 3kg over the last 4 mths, damn it!

So instead of simply thinking of buying it, I placed my order tonight but this is a pre-order so i have to wait... hmmm... must be very popular for it to run out of stock leh...

I've tried meal replacement many many years ago but it never last long... I know one method works, counting calories and increasing your movement to boost your metabolism rate.

I did that before I got pregnant 2 years ago. Was counting calories everyday with barely just 1500 calories per day and exercising 2 times per week. Within 3 months, i lost 5 kg and then got pregnant! Although i have lost my pregnancy weight but the last 3 kgs simply never want to leave me... sob sob... so instead of losing the 3 kgs, now i have 6 kgs to lose.... wah kua... So tonight i shall start using my i zen slimming machine and count my calories tomorrow... heeehee.... there is always tomorrow, right? *wink*

Jabra T820 Wireless Bluebooth Earpiece

Ordered the Jabra T820 Bluetooth earpiece for home use so that I do not need to bring my USB headset every day just in case I need to work from home and need to have conference call. The pictures from Gmarket indicated it as a small piece of hanging bluetooth earpiece therefore I was attracted by the size and the price ($10.90 + $2.90 registered mail).



I placed the order on 9 June and received the item on 12 June, very fast delivery (3 working days) I must say! :) The next photo showed all the components that came in the box, i.e. charger and the earpiece.





Point to note is that the charger is a 2-pin plug so buyer need to be mindful of this. I have a traveller's adapter so was still ok to use this. Also partly my fault for not spotting this when browsing on the seller's page as I went back to check, there is a photo showing the 2-pin charger.




Another thing to point out is that this is only meant for right-ear user. It doesn't fit the left ear due to the design. Plus I let my husband tried on it and he was not able to fit the earpiece nicely because of big ear. The design is meant for small ears user only. To show the actual size, I've placed the earpiece next to my key pouch for comparison (pardon the mess on my table!)

Overall, still a good buy from the seller. :)
