Frankfurt Day 1 - Around the Shopping Street

 Here's the various places at Frankfurt where we get to walk around at. This is where we alight at the Alte Oper station and walk along the streets to go to where the shopping places are.







 Well as a Ice Cream Lover, I just had to try the Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream at Germany itself where it's made.. Somehow, it tasted a bit better and is of course much cheaper than eating it in Singapore.


 Although days are very long, somehow we still trees as bald as this one in many places especially along the shopping street.


 Here's the 2 most common pharmacies, kind of similar to our Guardian and Watson's.

 Of course when it comes to oral hygiene products such as tooth paste and tooth brush, it's somehow way cheaper in Germany (than in Paris and definitely Singapore). So as usual, I bought some toothpaste home haha.. No toothbrush needed as we bought too much during our last trip.

Here's Rituals, my favourite store where it sells products body and face products made from Chinese Herbs. My favourite product is the Yin - inner peace, calming bed and body mist haha.. Cos it helps to calm my mind and senses for a good night sleep. Especially when brushing teeth and washing face prior to sleep tends to wake me up a little. 
That's the Euro sign where you might notice during certain news. Quite nice looking and it's in the CBD area of the city.

 Here's my favourite low budget departmental store - C & A where I bought my pair of skinny fit jeans at $9.90 Eur during my last trip and another pair during this trip at $19.90 Eur which is pretty good too, around SGD $32. Which I doubt I can buy anything of similar quality locally. It looks pretty lasting so far. I also got a shirt at around EUR $5 haha.. Most other shirts I bought at some shops in Singapore needs additional sewing to secure the buttons but this one doesn't. How nice is that! So it feels like better quality products at less than half the price..


 Then we had dinner at somewhere nearby. I realised that I forgot to take a photo of the shop name haha.. Doesn't matter, it's a restaurant in the middle of the shopping street that opens until quite late into the night. One of the few shops that are still open at around 9pm. Although it's still bright, most shops had closed for the day. It's a feels like a Thai restaurant that sells food which has a nice twist of western and eastern taste. Yummy!!

Monopoly Deal - A Fun Game to Play @ Chalets!

I felt that Monopoly Deal is really a fun and challenging game to play, especially at the Chalet. There are many rules to the game, but luckily we had a  monopoly deal rules expert with us to double-click with in event of discrepancy! I feel that it requires strategy and some form of luck to win the game. So far, I always get good property cards sets but it always get taken away 'cos I don't have the "Just say NO" card and it tend to get taken away, especially if I've a complete set. Then, I tried the strategy of not putting up a complete set, then it also doesn't really work 'cos in the end, I don't end up putting my sets on the table. Perhaps, I'll need to play a lot more times and try different methods till I get the idea right I guess. If you do have the chance, try playing that game. It's really exciting, 'cos you'll never know how long will your properties stay with you! As well as, how much money you can have in your hands. T...

Business Network International

I went for one of my friends' Business Network International gathering today. It's actually quite interesting, although initially, I'm quite lost. But after some time, then ok le. A new experience I should say, with a group of people that likes whatever each other is going so much and having lots of fun! The people there are really very friendly, so I shall add those that I've talked to into my hotlist then. Just that I'm not too sure if they really remember me :P But after sometime, I'll need to replace my friend for about 2 weeks so it should be ok I guess. The only downside is that. 7.30am is really a tough timing to wake up and go for the meeting. I'm glad I'm there. I'm so blessed!

Shaun Stenning - Story of the Refund Request

I'm merely sharing the harsh truth and facts about the refund story started by Shaun Stenning himself. My post is biased toward my personal experience so judge it yourself. First of all, there was originally a blog post in their site to tell us that there will be a refund statement or something that will be send to us some Release Agreement but nothing ever happen other than the acknowledgment email reply which I've received from Shaun: "On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 12:15 PM, Shaun Stenning <shaun.stenning@dollarrose.com> wrote: your refund request has been received, please note that we will not be actioning the request until 1st March 2011 when you will receive the Release Agreement Shaun" After that, I just visited that link again and it has already been removed entirely. It's now loading page not found instead. If you were me, how would you feel?
