My New Love

I have been in love with kitchenaid mixers since forever. and it doesnt help that nigella n my fav pastry chef (other then my sister) anna olsen uses it. thing is, it costs a bomb here. ok not so bomb la but bomb for me considering thr are so many oth things i need to buy n u can get a kenwood one for wayyyyy cheaper here.

theres a store near my place that carries kitchenaid mixers n evrytime i pass by the display window, whr they have so meanly displayed the mixers in a row of rainbow colours, i wud look forlornly and longingly, like a child staring at an ice cream shop. only worse.. coz the child hasnt eaten in 3 days n is really hungry n so she needs the ice cream to survive.

so ive been looking for it on websites like mudah n lelong, then it struck me that these sites sometimes sell used things n eeeuu im gona b making food with it n eeeuuu coz i dont kno whr its been u kno! ok i kno i can clean it yadda yadda yadda bt im anal like dat get over it.

den i went on this magic website called amazon! whr beautiful kitchenaid mixers had such tiny pricetags compared to here!! ok not so tiny wen converted bt real tiny for kitchenaid!!

the ARTISAN STAND MIXER 5KSM150PS costs about 2400- 2600 MYR but in the US its like 299.00 USD. heaven??!? i think so!! its even cheaper (256 USD) for some less popular colours like the yellow (which i love)!!

the price here is more then double the selling price thr!! insane!!

so now im inclined to buy it online n have it shipped over but id like to get some feedback from ppl who have bought heavy things online from the US. i wanna kno wud i be taxed? also theres the voltage issue. i read on a blog that Malaysia uses the same high voltage as the UK at 240kV. The US uses 110kV. so wud this pose a problem? well if anyone knows pls pls pls enlighten me.

in the meantime. feast ur eyes!!

p/s: btw he proposed!! but lets save that for another post eyh?

r you in love yet???
