I've been doing online shopping for the past two years. It all started when I was looking for DHA supplements, ie Neurogain when I was pregnant back in 2009. Surprisingly it was not easily available at local pharmacies, and hence I had to order it online. Since then, I began to trust websites that offer online purchasing and delivering.
Subsequently, I began ordering clothes and mostly shawls. I enjoyed the thrill, suspense and surprise after receiving each parcel. It was like getting a gift from someone, only that I had to pay for it myself! So far I have been lucky with all my purchases..
You see, I have been hunting for a Raspberry Coloured Littmann Paediatric Stethoscope for the past few months. I have enquired from Kamal Bookstore, University Bookstore and various other medical bookstores that I know, but all of them did not have what I wanted. They only have stethoscopes in black and red. I even looked up the official Littmann website and called up the official distributor for Klang Valley. From what was told to me, the colour that I wanted is not available in Malaysia.
Hence, I started looking for an overseas company that had the exact stethoscope that I wanted, at a resonable price, which could ship it to Malaysia. I then found a website called IP Mart, which had what I wanted. I closed one eye (or maybe even both eyes!), made a few clicks here and there, and I was done. Yes, I was aware of the high shipping cost, but the desire that I had for that particular stethoscope was just too strong. The price of it is equivalent to 5 hours of locum in ED..More reasons for me to continue doing locum..
After 2 weeks, I finally got what I wanted and I was definitely satisfied with my purchase!
My most expensive online purchase so far, but definitely worth it! :)

For something as personal as a stet, better beli one that you will be most happy to use everyday... if there's one to reflect your personality, i say GO FOR IT! :)
I sokong cakap shalyz.. hehehe.. Sure you'll be more excited and semangat to do your job after this. at least puas hati and hilang penat bila nampak benda you suka kan
I had the very same colour of adult stethoscope which sadly went missing last year. It has my name carved on littman's specialized tag. sedih betul dah hilang :(
kalernya .. sungguh "Ee" sekali .. :)
lyz: yup, that was what i had in mind too. coz i'd be using it everyday, kalau mahal sket pon takpe..as long as it brightens up my day!
tino: tu la, sejak pakai stets baru macam lebih semangat la..psychology nih

nina: tu la..pink..harus..
hello. i'm looking for this exact colour of stethoscope. do you mind sharing the website you bought this stethoscope from? i tried looking for the ip mart you mentioned but it turned out to be a local online store with no stethoscope listed in their product line.
