It's the Thought that Counts

Angeline recieved a Dior pefume and a Chanel Lotion from Yuan 老师 as a farewell gift. In return, Angeline got her a necklace and a pair of earings from Diva.

Thus, you can interpret the title in your own ways. Oh well!


A Good Bargain

Angeline found a NOW (debit) card mailed to her from UOB. If Angeline has applied for it, she won't be scratching her head so hard then. After a call to Ck, she realized that her old mini debit card would be faced out by UOB in 3 weeks time and NOW card would officially take over. Angeline assumed that UOB wants to continue its banking partnerhsip with Angeline by mailing her the NOW card without her asking for it.

Sitting comfortably in Angeline's Burberry purse (blue label) now, Angeline thought that it matches with the Standard Chartered (Esprit) card which is coincidentally red in colour as well. If you are thinking that Angeline's (pathetic) salary is good enough to afford that card, Angeline would like to inform you that the card is actually a supplementary card.

After reading through the brochure that explains (prehaps 'promotes' is an more appropriate word in this context) the benefits and privileges of the NOW card, Angeline decided to activate it and start using it.

Lelong Lelong

As Angeline was siting in her office (busy editing photos for the previous entry), Sylvie from Beacon Educational Supplies walked in to conduct a door-to-door sales demonstration for a new brand of Early Childhood resources. The most popular choice (made by Angeline) was usually Lakeshore, as they cater to children's learning and devlopment needs extensively. However, Angeline thought that it didn't matter to be introduced to a new brand.

The new brand is known as Ludia. Their products are designed in France and manufactured in China. After Sylvie's detailed explanation and persistant persuasion for Angeline to try the learning resources, Angeline discovered that she actually took a liking to them. This batch of new learning resources aims to train (mainly) children's Concentration and Logical Thinking Skills. Furthermore, it encourages children's independence and abilities to complete or master tasks competently.

Angeline would recommend this set of new learning resources to any friend who has young children at home or as a gift for any celebration for young children. Besides, Beacon Educational Supplies is having a promotion now. Discounts are up to 25 % (if you are purchasing them in a set). If you have no young children to pamper, please buy one for Angeline to play then. Angeline is not kidding you when she tells you that she likes the new learning resources.

A little bit more on why Angeline is keen to recommend these new learning resources. Angeline was challenged when she was asked to do some of the puzzles that were presented to her. Imagine that! Nonetheless, Angeline managed to complete it (quite) effortlessly after a few attempts at it. Well, challenging and captivating puzzles always intrigued Angeline. Seriously, Angeline is wondering if you get her hint (literally). Heh!
