Don’t you just love practical gadgets that combines cuteness to it too? Just like the rilakkuma solar charger that can charge iphones and ipods using the power of the sun. Or you can even charge it up using the usb connector before you leave the house.

Ever since I started working, I only have time to do a thorough clean up every weekend. Though on some weekends when I am too busy, I don’t even do that. There are times when I wish I have a little help around the house. Especially if it is small, cute, and wears a pink bow. Yes, the Hello kitty version of Roomba vacuum.

Cute, useful little helper that will vacuum your home when you are out and about doing what ever you usually do when you aren’t cleaning. Powerful enough to suck all the bits of crumbs and hairballs but gentle enough on you nice shiny alloc flooring.

A friend just offered to give me guitar lessons at a very reasonable price. I’ve wanted to play guitar for so long and my fender is laying up on the cupboard gathering dust so far. I only took it down once in a while. Now, with this offer, I do feel a little motivated. What else would make me even more motivated to go for lessons.

A promise of a cute kitty guitar when I can play perhaps.

They make all sort of items with Hello kitty on them. I just wonder whether they even have Hello kitty Guitar Effects Pedals as well.

Just got another camera for Christmas – Lumix DMC L5. My second Lumix. The first one being the FZ28 (which is a very good camera). However, I need another one small enough to carry in my purse. So I think this would be good enough. Other than the specs stated down below, what I like about the camera so far is the colour. It’s pink! Other than that, is the uploading directly to Facebook and Youtube feature. That would save a lot of time indeed. These days not only one needs a good application for video download from youtube, but one that directly upload to youtube would be a great feature. Well at least for a youtuber who likes to upload videos like myself.

I will try to give a better review later on, once I get to use the camera a bit longer.

While looking at the classic racing car toys with raceways, I came across this cute ‘Hajimete macaroon maker’ with ‘Hajimete’ meaning ‘first’ in Japanese, this macaroon maker is suitable for little children (and adults too ) to learn make cute edible macaroons.

The macaroon maker set includes a mixing bowl, guide sheets (with templates), spoon, scraper, and 2 piping bags. However being a Japanese product the instruction guide is in Japanese too.

They look all so cute and pretty, but I just wonder how it would taste.
