Shoe Review: Nike Roshe Run
Have you heard or seen any of these highly raved kicks lately? Yes, Nike has come up with the comfiest shoe till date. The Roshe Run or Rosherun. Good thing about this is that it comes in a wide variety of gorgeous design (locally limited though), broad toe area for comfy wear, elevated heel and removeable insoles. I can literally walk hours in this.
Although I find that the design can be more narrow on the front for sleeker look, it absolutely is the comfiest sneakers I've ever worn. Beating out the Nike Air Max or New Balance 574. Adore the added height it gives me.
Price ranges from SGD$99 to $169
Buy it from Nike stores or Isetan Dept Store locally
Or online stores such as ASOS.com

Taobao Haul: First Shopping Experience!
Here are the relatively good quality stuff that I bought. Those horrible quality ones I shall not mention.
The kimono jacket (S$13) feels so smooth and comfy! Almost like pyjamas wear. As for the swimwear (S$12), thank god it fits. Material-wise, feels like what a swimwear should feel like.
My cases (Mickey S$2, Milky S$2) for iPhone5s. Super adorbs!
Blown away by how gorgeous these necklaces are. (S$6 and S$4 each) And they wrapped it so well-protected. Need to order more!
Acrylic panel slingbag (S$9) is not too shabby. Good for casual wears!
Thoughts
I think it's a gamble to buy clothes and shoes from Taobao. The quality is just so bad for most of them. Also, because shipping is by weight, those lousy shoes cost you the bulk of the money. It is rather safe to buy accessories, bikinis, phone covers based on reviews online and on-site.
For the many items (15 in total) I bought, I had to pay S$37.08 for 4kg worth of stuff. I bought the 15 items for S$133. All in all, I think it's okay. Not that it's very cheap because you never know what quality of product you are receiving. Hence, maybe only about half of your stuff you'll end up liking.

Europe 2014, Lucerne, Switzerland, Day 01
Day 1// After a long flight from SIN to DOH to ZUR. We have finally landed on Zurich airport! Bought our tickets from the SBB train store and it cost about 30++ chf/pax for the train to Lucerne. The rest of our tickets we booked it online though. Lots of savings and no admin cost! Wanted to get the Swisscom NATAL easy card but it was sold out. You can get it elsewhere though. Like their post office or stores in the town you'll be staying. I got mine from Wengen's post office for 19.90chf. Unlimited data for 2chf/day. Remember to register to use it!
The train to Lucerne was a short one. Left our luggages and we went for sight-seeing. You can get the map of Lucerne at the tourist centre located at the station. And guess what? All the sight-seeing spots are within walking distance!
First up was the Chapel Bridge. It looks pretty, not that fantastic though! I didn't manage to walk it because it rained and whatnot later.
Next, was to the Lion Monument. This was good! Pretty awestruck by how they carved the entire thing out of a natural rock. Superb work!
After that was the Musegg wall. It was so gorgeous and relaxing there. The sights just cleanse your mind of all the hustle in the city. Plus you could climb the tower and walk along the wall! It's a must to do so. Just catching the magnificent view of Lucerne is lovely.

Then it started pouring like mad. We settle for this restaurant and the meals are huge! Pastas and Pizzas ranges from 20+ to 30+ chf? With mains like steak hitting the 50chf.
In Switzerland, generally there isn't a lot of supermarkets or convenience store. They open around 8am and closes early like 6pm or so. I've only come across convenience store, MH express in Lucern. Also their supermarket, COOP, is almost everywhere. They have yummy pre-packed cold pastas, salads and sandwiches at approx 6chf.
