I feel as light as a feather after the ultimate shower !! ooops I think we better take these knitting n yoga conversation to the chat thread or else I'm afraid they may close the thread.

ssc0619, LLANeedle

Yippee, we have at least 2 things in common hee. BV and watermelons!

aaa_1188

i think we r very well represented in TPF! too bad asia has such high prices for BV. I bought my Ottone Sloane in Shanghai for RMB25k+. GULP! But I could not find it in HK...

[aaa_1188]

RMB25K+ !!! Wow, that is even higher than the prices in Singapore..

I just checked the prices in Malaysia when I was back in KL last week, it was slightly cheaper compared to Singapore after the week Ringgit and also Malaysia has not GST....

But the Ottone Sloane is gorgeous.... well worth it, IMHO
