While helping my neighbor with furnishing his home, I have come across many different designs of furniture, some are practical, some not that comfortable and some absolutely expensive and many more.

When shopping for Leather Padfolios, my neighbor told me that his aim is to buy those that are comfortable, fits the overall theme of his home and most importantly, within budget.

I know that Leather Tree is an online retail store that specializes in leather furniture. I have been told that not only do they pick furniture lines with exceptional quality at unbeatable prices, they also work very hard at fast shipping.

I think that for anyone who has so qualms shopping online for leather furniture, they should give Leather Tree a try.

I saw a notice outside a shop in Ipoh recently offering upgrading and unlocking services for iPhone, for 2G and 3G. I took down the contact number and called then to see how much they would be charging for unlocking and upgrading my 2G iPhone from the earliest firmware version to the latest. The guy says it would be RM150 and would require 3 – 4 hours!

My, I think if they could guarantee that nothing would go wrong, that my iPhone would not brick, then I would pay to have the upgrade. I am not sure if RM150 is a fair price to pay though, because many of my friends upgraded the iPhone and unlocked it themselves. Also, I think that 3 – 4 hours to meddle with a phone is pretty long and it would be difficult for me to get away from work for that length of time. And I don’t feel secure enough leaving my iPhone to them for any length of time!

I think I would have to travel to the capital city and look up a friend who would be able to do it for me cheaper. Free? I don’t think so. Cheaper, yes, he already said so. It would also be a good opportunity for me to check out the city. It has been a long time since I had a reason to be there!

When I was at the Ipoh PC Fair last weekend, I noticed that they, once again, push the prices of pen drives a lot lower. The bad thing was that I just purchased a couple of pendrives at different capacities not too long ago, not because i wanted to buy at a more expensive price, but because I was urgently in need to use then.

At the recent PC Fair, with their seriously low prices, I discovered that I paid more than RM15 for one 8GB pendrive and almost RM3 for a 4GB pendrive. It drives me nuts to know that no matter how I shop for my items, they will always be cheaper somewhere and within such a short time period as well!

While people would say that I should shop for my electronics and gadgetry in LowYat, it’s not a practical solution. Coming from Ipoh to purchase them, while not exactly viable, would be a great idea if the savings is huge but what if the item breaks down and warranty has to be claimed? It would be tough and creates unnecessary hassle going to and fro, or even just shipping them to and fro!
