Credit card free gifts (Part 1)
This is gonna be a rather long post.
Armed with all the gift vouchers, i headed to Ipoh Parade. Gawd, the haze is headed this way. Everything seems blurry this morning.

Greentown Business Centre to my left
1st stop; Ogawa shop located on the ground floor. And this is what i got with my HSBC card for my birthday. A battery-operated massage pillow valued at Rm88. (without battery) I already have a similar one called the "SQUEEZE Micro bead massager" when i charged a minimum of Rm100 within the 1st month when i received my card.

HSBC Squeez
Only difference is the Squeez was bead-filled and u have to unzip one end to turn the vibrator on thus baby-safe. It's comfortable enough to snuggle up with in bed or between ur loved ones, know what i mean. The one from Ogawa is firmer and has an external power switch; more convenient, also mean easier for Gordon to turn on and drain the batteries faster. It's now fastened to my chair and massaging me as i type. Uh...uh...uh...mmm.
You know lah.... at the shop, sure to try out some stuff. That's why all these shops have tie-up programs with the banks. The banks send the customer over to collect a gift, and in return, gets a cut should the customer buys something else. Easy.
Papa plopped himself onto the CYBER-relax Massage chair with shoulder massager. The one that Sheila Majid advertised. I can see him squirming about in that chair. What a sight.
I tried out the "Trinity Eye & Mind Soother". That sales girl immediately launched into one of her sales-pitch by saying that i only need to pay Rm299 and not Rm499 as i'm a HSBC card holder, and this is a special price and blah, blah, blah. Hubby told her straight at her face that it's all bull and it's selling at the same price over at The Store. Since this lil' baby comes with a power adapter, and it's more comfortable compared to the Osim when i went there last weekend to collect another free birthday gift courtesy of Ambank, i bought it; at Rm299. Osim's eye-massager got no oomph lah, and uses batteries only. All the more better to drain your pockets faster. And that stupid girl used old batteries with the eye-massager on me, and for 5 minutes only. Where got enough power and oomph. Same price also. Anyway, i went home with a digital thermometer valued at about Rm40 and a 10% discount voucher applicable for foot-massager products only. Useless to me since i already own Osim's Foot Roller-Massager and the Isqueez.

Trinity bill@ Rm299
This Trinity has 3 functions: namely Air pressure massage, Heating and Vibration. The only thing is i have to know by heart where all those buttons on the attached controller are when wearing that thing. There are altogether 6 preset modes with variable level of intensity. Well, you can always over-ride the preset modes. You wear the Trinity by securing the attached elastic headbands around your head, adjustable with velcro. The head-gear, which looks more like one of those things you wear when u play some virtual simulation games, has three blinking indicator lights on the front panel. I still have yet to find out what it's supposed to indicate.

I'm happy now. I'm going to use it deligently every night to massage my tired panda-eyes from all the late nights i spend blogging. And my shoulders now still hurt from the CYBER-relax massage chair i tried on after hubby's done with it. The chair costs a whopping Rm16500 after discount from the normal price of Rm21000. Wah, and we also received the CYBER-relax catalogue since we looked so promising.... and we have credit card one leh. Nevermind, the free massage pillow works fine for me for the time being.
2nd stop: i proceeded to Gintell located on the 1st floor. WTF, cant even find that shop. Had to call up and someone mumbled out some location amidst loud canto-pop music when the call was answered. Found the place at last, and this is what i got. 2 units of pocket calculator c/w pen; courtesy of Eon Bank and Public Bank. That place looks more like a dump than a showroom. Cant wait to get away pronto. Fat chance i'll ever shop there. Bet their after-sales service sucks.

On the way to the car-park, i stopped by a tea-gallery and bought a Rm2.50 yummilicious green-tea ice-cream.
