I seldom shop online and I can count with my fingers on how many times I bought stuffs online in a year. Usually, I will just go to Singapore's Xioami website, which is local, to buy powerbank and accessories. Somehow I felt that I don't really have the time to browse through the online catalogue (don't mentioned comparing the prices with other popular online sites) like some of my friends did.
Anyway, all of a sudden, I ordered something from Germany which was sold in Euro some more. I remember I only purchased from local sites like Lazada or Qq10 but this time, I ordered directly from the retail website. My kid loves this product so much, which he found it online and since he did well in his recent exam, I thought maybe I get this stuff for him as a reward. Well, the shipping fee is more expensive than the product itself but it was efficient. I ordered the product on last Tuesday evening and it arrived from Germany via Shenzhen and Shah Alam to JB on last Thursday, delivered by UPS.

 |
| Even got the 'Export from Germany' sticker |
And, this was the stuffs I got for him - shoes laces but without laces... LOL . Somehow this is some innovative product from Germany, which is a country well-known for innovation.

| The box of 'Hickies' laces out product |

| The back of the box |
It contained 14 ..err.. I call it straps but it's really made of good quality rubber. My kid always complaint of his shoe laces loosening during his badminton training and I thought it's a good idea to put it on his badminton shoes. Anyway, I tested it out on his Asics running shoes. Putting all the straps in seems too tight and I gotta remove two out.

| Straps in and laces out |
 |
| And, done but clicking the straps together. |
He just wore the shoes without removing the straps (or shoes' laces in the past) and just put in his feet into the shoes. It was really nice and convenient! And, I got a happy kid over the last weekend! LOL...
Btw, had lunch at
The Sugar Pantry in Taman Molek last Sunday after sending my little princess to school. This place was like Lavender Bistro, where they sell pastries and operates a restaurant.

| Earl Grey Tea for my wife ... Very Japanese style! |
 |
| A Flat White for me |
 |
| A salmon baguette with chips , shared with my wife and kid |
 |
| My kid ordered this mushroom pasta, which in the end, we also shared it. |
The food was nice and delicious but I feel it will be great if the menu has more food to offer. However, I love the ambiance there! It was quiet and peaceful!
The Sugar Pantry is located at - 47, Jalan Molek 1/9, Taman Molek, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor, Malaysia.
Awww! What a loving papa buying a great gift for his son. This is the first time I am seeing this innovative shoes.
ReplyDeleteHey you drank a flat white! It shows you have good taste for real coffee.
My first time too, he show me the YouTube video and I thought it was cool !
DeleteYeah, I love flat white !
First time I'm seeing this type of shoe laces. Cool eh? No need to learn how to tie shoelaces dy like that. Maybe you should get for yourself too. haha.
ReplyDeleteI no need la, though it will good for my runs. I always gotta tie double knots whenever I go for running events so that I don't have to bear with loosening laces.
DeleteVery innovative product
ReplyDeleteYes , indeed !
DeleteI never shop online but I had books sent to me by publishers from the US. Their postal service sure seems a lot more efficient. I liked how they emailed me regularly to inform me of the progress of the delivery, no need to type the number and track and trace like what we have here.
ReplyDeleteYeah , except boleh land , most of the well developed countries are very efficient !
DeleteInteresting, shoes laces without the laces, first time see something like this, so next time he doesn't have to worry that the shoes laces will loose.
ReplyDeleteYeah lor but I'm afraid he doesn't know how to tie shoes laces in the future .. Lol
DeleteCall me jakun, I;ve never heard of Hickies before.. And yes, I shop online quite frequently, especially from Groupon & Lazada, and some of FB's own online sellers.. First time I see shoe laces the "hard" type, very good, then no need a;ways bend down "tie" shoe lace..
ReplyDeleteI also never heard of it before till my kid show me the website and the YouTube video .. So you are not jakun! Hahah
