Collecting coins can cover costs of collectibles


I think the Chinese characters mean money box. I actually don't know the price of this money box but since it comes from a collectibles store its probably in the range of RM30. Besides that I really like to look of it. All the wording seems to be saying a lot of saving money, and probably a warning that taking the money out should be done carefully. It probably also has a philosophical treatise on the advantages of putting your money in a yellow and black box. I want it.

The picture isn't very good but this is the bottom half of a mini water dispenser. It's capacity is 8 glasses of water (I think 2 liters) which is the recommended daily water intake per day. You can fill the top part - which is a transparent mini water container with anything you like. A little too much effort to do everyday. But its an interesting idea anyway. I saw it at Jusco in Sunway Pyramid for around RM60.

Rabbits and yellow


In the world of Chinese Zodiac Animals, I am a rabbit. A gentle, peace-loving, cute, cuddly, sweet, rabbit. So a yellow rabbit toothpick dispenser is a great attraction to me. Pull on the rabbit ears, revealing a cup where toothpicks fall out to the side. Release the ears and the toothpicks fall back down, hidden from view. The rabbit eyes are black which completes the yellow and black look. Get it from SJ or other 'lifestyle' stores. These stores sell an inordinate number of toothpick dispensers - as if, the current template for toothpick dispensers need a redesign.

This is a no-brainer. Yellow and black chocolate goodness. Saw these m&m tin cases containing about 50 m&m's. They are more of a novelty than an actually food item - because of the price RM7.90. That's some expensive chocolates - but really I bought it for the tin. I don't have the chocolates anymore - but I ate them so they are still OWNED.

Score with these



It's been a dryspell of yellow and black things. Ironically its not because there are fewer yellow and black things. It's because there are too many. What makes yellow and black so appealing? These football boots are appealing. I like the design but there's a bit too much yellow for my liking. Not that I play football. Price RM250.
