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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
