New Musical Experience

My iPod earphones have served me well.. I think it's about year and a half since I got them, but the due to wear and tear the rubber coating's come off. Dearie also needed a pair cos his precious Crossroads spoilt.

So we went shopping today for new earphones between dinner and class time.

I started out looking for a pair of cheap and pretty earphones like the ones that Karen recommended sometime ago. The bling bling ones that cost only $15.

BUT we discovered a new shop selling only audio equipment, ranging from the cheapest of about $14, up to $600 for a personal listening experience. $600! What could be so good!

We wondered around the shop in amazement at the assortment of earphones, headphones, speakers, and iPhone accessories that this store stocked. Of course then I discovered Audio Technica's pretty designs, and started wowing at them. Hehe. I was worried that it would be pretty only but far from the target in the design department, but Soozey, being the techie, assured me that Audio Technica's products are good.


We wondered around somemore before I asked for something that has deep bass - Sony was introduced, and was on the verge of getting it for $39, then finally the bf asked about Creative EP-630. We compared the sound quality and decided that, at $45, he would fork out for it. But it took me some time to convince myself - $6 difference isn't a lot for the amazing improvement in sound quality. And so I bought a pair too. I bought the pink one! He bought a pair of all black one which I thought was damn cool, but not easy to dirty, but it just wasn't me.

So now I'm "burning in" the earphones - Dearie taught me - to blast some music for 10-12 hours through the earpieces so that the audio experience after that would be richer. The earphones are so good, that its now acting as speakers when I turn it to the highest volume.

Now I can finally enjoy music complete with bass and sound surround. It's my first set of in-ear earphones and I hope I get used to it on long term wearing.

Anastasia B.

Recently been poring over Anastasia Barbieri's works. And her recent fascination with blending stylishly chic feminine elements with masculine looks really intrigues me.

I'd been raving over the new boyfriend blazer that I'd gotten, and pairing it with almost anything girly/sexy that I have. Now here's what I'd really like to be wearing. (:

I need a little more bling in my wardrobe. And I'm guessing it would be good to invest in a pair of stylish knee high boots, for both the purpose of my trip to Japan with BF at the end of the year, as well as future fashion shoots and, whenever I feel like dominating the world (; . And. I want to get skinny belt and harem pants.

Will be looking out for her works in the near future. Lovin' it and lappin' it all up. *slurp*

Consumerism

Guess what I found when I sifted through some sites online?

Gold iPhone,
with the a DIAMOND apple!
£22,995.00

This is, in dearie's words. "Omg so opulent!"

Note: I seem to have run out of vocabulary and only Poonie and the BF can supply such words. I shall quote extensively from now on.


This atas craftsman set up a company that recreates the bodice of normal consumer goods in gold and diamonds. What's could be a common phone right now is given a brand new, lavish look.

You have an iPhone too? But mine is exceptional. It's gold and comes with 53diamonds encrusted in the apple icon.

Yours is US$299? Mine is £22,995.00.

Go take a look and be amazed by how the really rich spend their money.

Eh this brings the idea of elites and consumerism to a whole new level. If you have this much excess cash give even more to South African children leh, also not like that spend one mah. A phone is a phone, and I'm sure Vertu phones are already lavish and reliable enough, and with its 24-hour concierge service, it's way better than having a £22,995 iPhone.

But I have to admit that it's very chio. Haha. I'm sure there are fake iPhone cases out there in "gold-plated" exterior and bling apple, lol.

On another note, my parents are getting funnier. Last night my aunt went to the new Lim Chee Guan (for the uninitiated it's this famous bakkwa shop) opening at ION and brought home free samples for my mum. My mum distributed the golden coins (the small round ones) to us. There wasn't much. My dad took one and slowly ate, thinking that we'd leave a lot behind for him. So when he finally came looking for it an hour later, of course there wasn't any left. We all love bakkwa to bits.

He kept harassing mummy: Eh 肉干咧?
Mummy says: 没有了。只有一点点。
Daddy: 真的？你藏在哪里了？
Mummy: 没有藏啦！没有了！
Daddy: 真？！ 还不快点把它拿出来！
Mummy: 哎呀真是的，你很烦咧。都跟你说没有了！

But Daddy doesn't seem to believe her. He keeps cajoling her for next 3 minutes to surrender the rest of the bakkwa. Hhaha. Cute or not?

This morning, I found one big square piece of it sandwiched between my bread for breakfast.

:P


Yums.

Fab find at SONG&SONG!

Bought some winter wear for Japan trip, from, of all places, Song & Song, lol.

ADIDAS (the best stuff!) - Adidas Originals Russian Jacket

This was the best picture I could find online. Finally they had my size. I hope I don't put on any weight at the girth while mugging, cos I fit just nice in it... Haha.

It's ivory in colour with gold buckles, and faux fur in white at the collar, made of thick fleece and has thin inner cotton lining.




I'm very tired.
