Trade in your printer

If you have a printer that has conked out on you, rather than ditching it, find a printer distributor and see if they accept a trade-in.

Apparently, there is such a trade printer scheme in the printer industry. You just need to look around and ask the right people.

I know because I went with a friend to Low Yat Plaza at Bukit Bintang, end of last year, and she traded in her broken-down printer for a brand new one and at a discount too! I kid you not!

Men are shoppers too

It is no longer true that only women are shoppers. You know what I mean. When it comes to male shoppers, a colleague of mine comes to mind. He would cut out from newspapers and magazines, pictures of items he finds interesting and stick them onto a notebook and he has an interesting notebook, I tell you. Actually, that's a neat idea as that collection serves as sort of a database of stuff he is interested in and where he could find them if he so needed.

Besides gadgets, he also fancies office supplies and on his many trips overseas, he has brought back some neat stationery which are not found here.
