<![CDATA[Umbrella]]>OT a bit here.


Talking about umbrella, any good brand to recommend?
I always carry an umbrella with me but I can still feel the heat on my face when under the sun

gosh :oops: ; I never buy an umbrella before in my life. I always get it for free.

I have also never buy gift wrappers before - I always take them from shopping centers whenever I buy something or I dont wrap the gift; just leave it in the paper bag.
I think it is a waste of $$ to pay for all these (what else can I think of!!)
DO I consider Cheapskate??

No lah.. not cheapskate... :idea: you must join Clue SuperAuntie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Lets go to the point : where can get free umbrella??? 😉 :oops:

Agree with joyce. I got my free umbrellas mostly from shopping malls. Usually like IMM, centrepoint, spend 120 get one free umbrella and these are usually of reasonable quality.

I do buy the foldable ones , found the one from Esprit not bad.

I'm into Japanese Aurora umbrella too.
Love their ultra light ones, only bad thing is if it gets too windy then umbrella may 'flip'.
