Dan Ariely fan

I have suddenly become a fan of Dan Ariely due to this article of his that I initially saw in Business Week but I am now reposting from his blog:

La Maison du Chocolat

This is my favorite chocolate...especially their ganaches and pralines.  Heavenly.

I wonder when they would open a branch in Singapore???  The closest I could get these is in Hong Kong...which I almost certainly do at the Elements mall in Kowloon station before heading back here.

47 mm PAM

At 47 mm diameter, can my wrist carry this PAM 372??? The 2011 Fiddy





This is another 47 mm grail for me...a Cali dial from year 2006: PAM 249

PAM 359 vs. PAM 386

The official PAM 359 picture:


Though it looks waaaaaay better in person!!!

Thinking of getting PAM386 but it has the same in-house movement as the PAM 359...hmmm.  Is it worth getting just because of the composite case?  What are the other compelling reasons why the 386 is a great buy besides the great looks which is a given?

The Happy Ranch

Who would think that they would have this wonderful horse ranch in the middle of Siem Reap in Cambodia??!!

But see for youself...my kids had a great time especially my elder daughter who enjoys riding horses (she's taking lessons now).

After they were done with the guided ride, the owner was nice enough to let my daughter ride her horse around for another 10 minutes on her own.
