With A Tinge of Sadness

sadness

 

Dear Zuunbo members,

 

It has been a blast working on Zuunbo for the past year or so. We have enjoyed bringing all the amazing deals to you. From most of the response and feedback we recieved, the feeling was mutual. We hope we helped liven up the online retail scene here in Singapore. Sorry to all those that had to forego your beauty rest to wait till midnight to check out the latest deals!

 

Therefore, it is with great regret and sadness that I am announcing the closure of Zuunbo.com. Due to various reasons, we are unable to continue with the business. I would like to thank you all for the tremendous support you have shown our fledging start up. 

 

On a brighter note, we believe that discounts and great deals online are a must! What’s the point of shopping online if there isn’t any incentive? Our dream of revolutionizing online retail lives strong and who can predict the future… 

 

Never say never,

zuunbo guys

M.I.A

Hi pple!
First of all, apologies for our lack of entry and also taking so long in our hiatus.

We are working real hard (ok..Dan is on a short holiday in Japan right now, so it’s just me for now), on a revamp for Zuunbo and hope for your understanding.

We will continue to post up interesting tidbits on our blog but less frequently, so please do check back occasionally!

Btw, we will probably be back sometime next year.

In the mean time, have a great X-mas!

If you are one of those ladies who build your daily look around your shoes, I have news for you. Irregular Choice is a UK shoe maker who makes some very unique yet very wearable shoes.

If you want your shoes to be the stand out piece of your outfit, I believe there arn’t many better labels to start at.

P.S I think Irregular Choice can be found at Soon Lee down at Haji Lane.

Singlish is bad? Wait till you see this

i-love-lampSinglish has been a bone of contention amongst many here on our sunny island? “It’s not proper English!” say some. “It’s part of our culture and uniquely Singaporean” say Singlish supports.

Well, from my point of view, the ‘lahs’ and ‘lohs’ are definitely more understandably than what you find at www.engrishfunny.com. Go have a good laugh.

Love is in the air

Seems like everyone around me is getting married in the next couple of months. Despite the gloom in the economy, its great to know that love is still in the air. That got me thinking: How would I want my wedding photographs to be?

I just have a thing for black and white photographs… No idea why.

On a side note: Anyone care to share great places to get bridesmaid dresses and good tailors for the men?

Planning for that holiday

Some of you, like myself, might be in the midst of planning for that year end trip. After a long hard year’s work, its certainly exciting to be able to get out of town to experience a new country and culture.

Of course, planning a trip, especially for a larger group, could be a hassle. Thankfully, there are sites out there which can help ease this burden. My personal favourites are:

www.tripadvisor.com

www.tripit.com

Trust me, you won’t be disappointed.

Disaster Strikes

Funky website Spitefuls has come up with a series of dioramas based on historical disasters. You download the PDF, cut, fold and tape. It looks pretty damn good and would be a great conversation piece.

Mjolk

I came across this Australian label a couple of years back. At that time, they only had clothing men. Specializing in superb tailoring and uinique details, Mjolk become one of Australia’s better known labels for men.

So imagine my surprise when I saw these:

Sure would be interesting to see what else they come up with for the missus.
