Two exciting websites
What kind of websites appeal to you most? Shopping sites? Or gaming sites?
Well, different people have different tastes, and that goes the same for websites.
Different websites appeal to different people. Take for example, girls will probably love shopping sites where they can shop for clothes, accessories, bags, and many other items. On the other hand, guys who are into online games like Cabalsea, Maple Story, etc, might find gaming sites exciting as it can offer information on their favourite games.
As for me, i particularly like two websites, one of them is an online portal, with links to many different shopping websites, or blogshops, while the second website is a blog by a Singaporean teenager who is currently studying in Republic Polytechnic.
This is the first website that i like - Blogshopr.
http://www.blogshopr.com/
With the advancement in technology in society, almost everything is going virtual. Shopping is no exception. This is an online portal that provides a whole collection of links to shopping sites. It is indeed a virtual version of a shopping mall, with links to many different online shops.
However, there is one problem that we might face when doing online shopping - not knowing which website to go to. This is simply because there are too many shopping sites out there, each of them selling a variety of items. We might want to buy clothes, but from which website should we buy from?
And that's the best part of this website - it solves this problem that most of us face. In this website, the shopping sites are organised neatly into categories. If we would like to buy items for our pets, we can look under the 'For Pets' section. Similarly, if we would like to buy footwear, we can simply look under the 'Footwear' section. This brings us so much convenience and it also saves us time.
Then, recently, there has been a trend in this online shopping world whereby Singaporeans like to purchase items from Japan, Taiwan, Hongkong and Korea but it is impossible for us to do so if we only want to purchase one or two items, and that is where 'sprees' play a part. The purpose of sprees is to collate orders from different consumers and purchase them in bulk from overseas and this website also offer links to websites that offer sprees. Again, it brings convenience to us.
Apart from all these, we can also participate in the monthly lucky draws that this website has to offer, to win cash vouchers to use at participating online shops. This definitely spices up the fun of shopping online and is another reason why this website is really interesting.
As such, whenever you feel tired of going to shopping malls in Singapore, try shopping online! This website shall be your first 'destination'!
Next, this is the second website that i like - Andystorm's blog.

He's not just an ordinary blogger.
True enough, most bloggers blog about things happening in their daily lives, and that goes the same for him. But his posts are always different, he is able to spice up his blog entries all the time and make them so much more interesting compared to a typical blogger. This is what that makes his blog stands out from the rest.
Blogging is not just about ranting about daily lives, but it is how you reflect upon your daily happenings at the end of the day. Bloggers who are able to post interesting blog reflections are the ones who become popular, as they will attract loyal blog readers. Take for example, the most famous Xiaxue and Dawn Yang.
And Andy is an example of the male version of Xiaxue.
Have you ever tried out an Ice-cream buffet in Singapore?
Apart from the usual blog reflections on daily happenings, Andy will also post advertorials for online shopping sites, interesting restaurants and places that he go to. In one of his blog entries, he introduces readers to the Ice-Cream buffet at Marina Square.
Not only that, Andy is also an example of how blogging can be much more than just daily reflections, by joining blog competitions! He actively participates in blog competitions and has won prizes such as movie tickets.
As such, Andy's blog is indeed worth reading! Take a look at it, and you will know the difference compared to other blogs.
Success in EIR! ;
