Mirror Mirror on The Wall!!!

I love Mirrors!! I simply love Mirrors! :)

I like them BIG, shining, borderless and lots of them! :)

I just wanted to share with you an excellent Mirror that we bought from IKEA.

When we initally asked for a quote for a Bathroom Mirror from Wall to the Shower Screen (Remember I like BIG MIRRORS!), a contractor quoted us over RM1000+. :(
Yes, I was really shocked at the high price. Since it was so expensive, we decided to forego the Big Mirror and just buy a small one from Ikea or one of those Bath shops! :(


AND THEN!!! When we went shopping at Ikea last weekend, we found this PERFECT Mirror at Ikea.

Its called a HOVET Mirror and the measurement is 78cm x 196cm. Its simply Perfect !!

Its as if Ikea has made the Hovet specially for us

The cost is RM315 .. (3 times cheaper)

The Hovet actually stretches from the Wall to the Shower Screen with about 3 inches to spare. And it has a good height too.

So we asked one of our contractor to help set it up today .. and its just PERFECT

Check out the Hovet Mirror ....

It really covers the entire wall of the Bathroom!

AWESOME Mirror On the Wall! :)

I'm Lovin' It!!!

I Love Shopping in SM Mall of Asia

I Love SHOPPING

What was my point again? Oh yes... there were LOTS of SALES!!!!

They should start one shoppingNsales concept in Manila too! :)

Thot it was quite unique that HUMANs were for Sale in Manila

And that after flying so many thousands of miles, Marks & Spencer uses the same

"SALE" concept as Malaysia. Mannequins wearing "Sale" Tee Shirts.

Did I already mentioned that Manila is on SALE?

Hahaha .... lots of great stuff found in Manila.

To be honest all the stuff bought was for dear Nathanael and Zoe Joy.

Missed them so much ... the baju lah was cheap... cos was hunting for those 50% off,

70% Disounts .... and there were quite a couple!! :)

Hmmm... something tha Malaysia don't have anymore.

Pringles Barbeque Flavour.

Really wan!! If u go to a mall in Malaysia, you will only

find a BBQ Mesquite which taste horrible!!

Manila's infamouse Preserved Mangoes was a STEAL at SM Department Store.

They have one section called SNACK Exchange which allows u to get all their

goodies and yummy snacks. :)

Bought a Bag Tag each for Nathanael and Zoe Joy. I just loved the

concept that you can put any design and name to it.

Makes it all personalized! And all kids nowadays have their own bags!

This is really such a great idea.

Asia's Biggest Mall - SM Mall of Asia

Today we had a great time shopping and walking thru the "self proclaimed" largest mall in Asia, known as SM Mall of Asia. SM seems to be big in Manila. I see SM everywhere, its like your upscale Metrojaya, cos they have a Departmental Store, a Electronic Store, a SM Hypermarket and some other strange spin off!!!

SM Mall of Asia

The road leading to SM Mall of Asia. Outside its decorated

with a Metal Globe of the World

A close up of the Metal Globe

The Ocean View

YES!!! A unique selling point of SM Mall of Asia is the

Ocean Boulevard.

There are restaurants that faces the sea, and there's also a walkway

that leads you up to the beach front of the sea.

The Mall as u can see its long, and only 2 storeys in height.

The Beach area is currently being developed. We see lots and lots of

Trees planted to create the tropical beach effect and there are lots

of new stores being built along the beach front!! Great making money idea! :)

And yes, which mall nowadays don't have a Skating Rink.

The SM Mall of Asia comes with the usual, Cineplexes, Bowling Lanes

and of course IMAX Theatre!!!

The Shopping Mall is HUGE! And there were just so so so so many

people walking the mall. Reminded me of Mega Mall's lower floor where

it was just a SEA of people all around.

It was a brilliant idea to have inflatibles for kids! Lots of parents sent their

kids to play at the inflatables areas. :)

Lots of Food Outlets and of course a Food Court with yummy food.

One other COOOOL things about SM Mall of Asia was that they featured a BAND to play to the shoppers in the evening. Check out this short Video of the Marching Band.

Some Interesting VENTURES for Malaysia

Here are some interesting shops that I saw at the Shopping Malls in Manila which I've not noticed in Malaysia yet. Perhaps some entrepreneur would like to bring this back to Malaysia.
It may just work!!

Good IDEAS for Malaysia

Now this is rather interesting. Its a Fast Food Joint

with a Chicken dressed as a Cowboy.

Most interestingly its called CHURCH Chicken. Mebbe because

Philippines is a Christian nation, mebbe that's why CHURCH Chicken works! :)

Mebbe Malaysia should be Surau Chicken or Masjid Chicken! :)

Daniel if you're reading this blog. .. mebbe u should do this!! :)

A Picture Retail Outlet to take pics of Kids and Family! So CooooL! :)

Blogged about this on the first day. A Hair Salon for Kids! I think it will

really work in Malaysia! And it should be set up in a MALL, and not a stand alone Salone

by the road or in the SS2 square area! Shopping Mall would reap better benefits !!

OOOOOOOhhhhhh I think I Should Start This!!

Its called BAG TAGs and all they do is just produced Tags for your Bags

using Disney Characters. They are quite updated, cos there was a logo of Ratatouille too.

And it was pretty decent to create one, and whilst we were there, the queue of people

creating tags never did stop! :)

In Malaysia's Malls .... we have lots of Waffle this, Waffle that.

But we don't have real Crepes (pronounced "Crap").

Check out the yummylicious Crepes with Ice Cream and sumptious toppings.

Ha ha Ha!! For those with a good & lame humour

This retail outlet may just work. Its just plain tee shirts

with SPOOF names. Like instead of FEDEX, its FEDUP

and of course some vulgarities were thrown into the Tees..

which i have so cleverly censored from this blog! :)

And MY MOST MOST Fav Idea ......

which i doubt will ever work in Malaysia.

MAJESTIC HAM!!

Doesn't it already sound yummy?

Lots of HAM variations! :) oooooh!! :) YEAH!

Psst so if u do start a business because u caught some great ideas from this Blog. Let me know ya! :) Not that i wanna take any credit... but its interesting to share what other countries have and what Malaysia does not have yet, and to see it come to fruition! :)

Manila DAY 1 : Glorietta & SM Shopping

Arrived in Manila today without an event.

The plane was rather empty and i had a row of 4 seats all to myself! :)

The first nite in Manila.

Popped over to Glorietta ..... a large shopping mall

Similar style to Sungei Wang... low ceiling but lots of small shops

but they have some pretty decent reatil outlets too!!

Dinner was at Kenny Rogers .... .BUT

.. but Kenny Rogers in Manila has PORK!!

Yes.... super yummy Ribs!! :) Woo Hoo!!

It was YummY!!

I thot this was a GREAT IDEA!!! Don't remember seeing anything like

this in Malaysia. A salon that only cut hair for kids!!

Check out where the Kids seat.

The chair actually a CAR! So cooool huh??!!

Walked over to the newer mall to do some shopping

in the Supermarket. Its none other than SM.

Shopping at MBK, Bangkok

This MBK Shopping Mall was suggested by many as a Must SEE when in Bangkok.
Hmm.... its actually one Sky Train stop after the Siam Paragon. And this is really only like 30 metres walk from Siam Paragon.

The Mall resembles our Sungei Wang back in KL. The shops are very much together. And on the third floor its like Handphone Haven, with shops after shops selling one same type of product - handphones!!

Amazing, this trip i have not bought anyting at all in Bangkok, I tend to see similiar products available in Malaysia. :)

I took this shot, cos i thot it was funny. Bangkok is already celebrating 2007's Christmas when its only the 3rd week of January!! Hmmmm .... someone should change the decor!!
