Asian cup size downgraded again?

I went to shop for bras last weekend in Robinson, just to use the voucher that I got from the land banking briefing. The bra cup sizes of Asian downgraded again since it did once few years ago.

I was wearing B or C depends on the brand and cutting previously, and now, I need to go for D already for most of the famous brand like Wacoal and Triumph.

But why? Is it Asian girls' cup size are getting smaller from generation to generation? Sigh.........

Foot Reflexology

While waiting for another couple of friends for dinner, I went to the 60min foot reflexology in Puchong. There are so many foot reflexology opened in Bandar Puteri Puchong now.

The one I went yesterday was like a cinema. They provide large projector screen for the customers to watch some movies while doing the foot reflexology. The air cond was cold enough. If not because of the pain while the male foot masseur from China pressing my legs and feet, I think I could sleep soundly inside there.

The masseur told me that I have sleeping problem. My intestine is not that good, so as my waist. It's all based on the 'xue dao' (in mandarin) on my feet. It was so painful when they pressed on certain 'xue dao'. This was not the 1st time I did foot reflexology, but it was the most painful one. Phew!!

Land Banking

People nowadays is trying to diversify their investment. So here's the born of land banking(that's what the agent called). Basically land banking is just buying a land and wait for its price increment, and sell it off. Just like commodities, but land investment is longer term of investment.

I went to this briefing by this Singapore based company yesterday. The call and sms said that there is no obligation. Since I've never heard of it before this, so decided to went to have a look.

The land they are selling at the moment is in Titchfield, UK. The company bought one large piece of land and then divided into small parcels(each parcels=100 sq.m) and sell it to public. They are selling at about RM75K per parcel. The return based on their conservative calculation is 9% of profit (that's what they said). Even after the forex conversion, the land is not that expensive actually. Just that I don't have so much cash to invest yet. :P
To be frank, how many people dare to pay "cash" to buy a piece of land where it's so far away just like that?

As usual, the agent knew that she can't convince me anymore, so she just asked me to do some research, and get back to them if I change my mind after that.

They are kind enough to give me a bottle of Mark & Spencer's hand wash, and RM100 Robinson's shopping voucher.
