“Sai Arai wa?” = “What should I wear?” in Thai was the phrase used every morning since I arrived in London
Because of the cold temperature, my brother found this new kind of clothing to keep you warm enough all day long. It’s called Heattech from Uniqlo, a famous Japanese brand known in London, apparently.
Heattech must be worn as the first layer which means it needs to be worn directly touching your body skin. It will keep you warm and feel good during the day.
Here are the Seven Technologies from the official website that tells you why this new clothing line is so good for cold places.
- Heat Generation
- Heat Retention
- Soft Texture
- Odor Control
- Stretchable Comfort
- Anti-Static
- Non-Deforming
I did not gave you details of each technology because that’s just some sort of plagiarism = =” so I will give you the link so that you can have a look at it instead, http://www.uniqlo.co.uk
From my own opinion, I actually like Heattech. Why? Here are some thoughts I said when I experienced it yesterday
- Inside the tube, it was quite hot compared to the outside, I was wearing 5 layers including my huge ass coat excluding my scarf. Let’s note that I was wearing Heattech as one of my tops but my bottom part, I was still wearing normal legging with extra thin legging inside. It was so hot that I had to take off my scarf but I was still sweating. While I was complaining a lot about how hot it was in the tube, I was so scared that I would be sweating a lot. When we stepped out from the station, I noticed that although I was sweating a lot, I did not feel any wetness around places I sweat the most, whereas around my lower body, when the wind passed through my legs, i felt some coldness around areas I sweat the most.
Aite, that’s just one example that happened to me yesterday and i think that’s a good one :]
Make sure that you wear Heattech directly touching your body then you can wear anything else you want in the outside.
I stopped by Uniqlo last night and all products from Heattech start from 4.99pounds up (sorry no pounds symbol on this comp = =”). I remembered there are some promotions at the moment for christmas starting buying 2 products :]
I think that’s enough for today. I will give you more tips or more advices for you all while I’m experiencing it myself here in London :]
Take care !

Did your bill was higher than you expected??
How to turn off the internet on your BB when you’re about to go abroad:
so here are the steps you need to know before getting on the plane !!
- The night before, make sure you go to http://www.ais.blackberry.com and have an account. This website will help you to disable the function of sending your new emails directly to your phone. So after logging in to your account, you will see your email address(es) and click Filter then click “do not forward emails to my device” or sth like that… i don’t remember but I just did it XD
- On the day of departure, make sure before turning off your phone, go to “Manage Connections” then go to “Mobile Network Options” then “Data Services” has to be “OFF” !
- Then you’re perfectly safe for your next bill with no extra bahts :]
