Irresistable

I've learnt and experienced alot of things in my 1 and a half years stay in UK, however there is this one thing that was highly irresistible for me, in fact most of the Malaysian students who went to study aboard in UK will surely pick up the habit, some sooner, some later, no exception. Its indulging and for some it eventually become an obsession.

No i am not talking about the cheap booze or binge drinking. I am referring to the E BAY-ing.

e bay is such a convinient tool which makes you shop so much even without realizing it. Its a craze in UK cuz even for the foreign student, being in UK means qualified to apply for credit card, which means able to do ONLINE SHOPPING. e bay is a phenomena and one of the biggest success story in the business world because the strategy hitting right on the bull's eyes-taking advantages of human nature. Lets be frank, people just cant resist online auction. We are tempted easily when we see the starting bidding price is so low, not to mention there is also a ticking clock that keep reminding you that you dont have much time left. Clicking the 'bid' button is as easy as a reflex, and before you know it, the item already arrives on your doorstep.

The habit still stick with me even though after 2 years i am back in Malaysia (thats the power of ebay!). I subscribed to some online boutiques newsletter and did a few online purchase before. A few days ago, I came across an interesting advert email which was sent to me by one of the online seller, am utterly amazed with the creativity of the designer.


tata! the shoe pod and shoe wheel, and behold here comes the most creative item i have ever seen!

the BRA CARE! The perfect bra washing solution ! (click to enlarge, the picture not the bra)

Seriously, people just sell anything and everything online nowadays, even Britney Spear's shaved hair was auctioned on ebay for one million previously!

By the way, kim, maybe you should buy yourself the shoe wheel k.
