the loss of my nike+

Drats, I seem to lose my Nike+ device.

This is probably a sign to switch to my Garmin Forerunner 210 full time.

What a way to end 2011.

Oh well, another 2.5 hours to go.

zero sum game

one win when others lose.

The coming of Twenty twelve

It seems that time do fly.

What have you achieve the last 12 months in 2011?

Have you made your new year resolutions for 2012?

I want to be SCB. Scheming Cunning Bastard.

Why? Cause good guy never win.

Well, even if they do, it is would never been as exciting and glorify as a SOB. We do not want to end up sitting in the corner sobbing away.

Cheers to the new year in yet another few hours time.

Got myself a Sandisk 8GB microSD card and McAfee Total Protection anti virus software. It come free with a portable Music Angel mini speakers which apparently it is worth $49.90. Wow.

Now wait a minute, did I not just got moi self a Nakamichi portable speaker? Yeah, its mini speaker galore for this week. lol.

But its FOC with the anti virus software. I thought its just some cheapstake freebie to get you to buy those pricey software, till I google more about the brand, Music Angel.

I am no audiophile, but the output is crisp and the bass is just right considering its a mini speaker.
It is able to play through the usual means, line in through your music devices like phone, computer, psp etc etc. This one is able to play via memory stick and has radio function.

Neat.

Anyway check it out here

Do let me know, if you happened to chance on this in Singapore.



Damn! It seems that this brand that I never know of till today has more infomation available online than the nakamichi one.

the A&F experience

Went shopping at the newly opened Abercrombie and Fitch at Knightsbridge.
My first experience with A&F apparel is at Genting FOS. Got a sleeveless muscle tee which quite flatter my bod. lol.

The flagship store in Singapore is quite an eye opener with the pre-opening marketing hype which saw 40 ripped, chiseled models with abs of steel surrounding the store.

When you first step into the store, one get greeted by the A&F dudes and one half naked model for that polariod moment in case you miss out on the pre-open highlight. Honestly, they should try to rotate the gender of the model, get a hot babe with chiseled features (duh!) coupled with a deep cleavage. That will seriously dispel any association that this label is about gay pride. lol.

The dim lighting make it difficult for one to see the actual clothes that you are trying or even thinking of buying which is probably one of their marketing tactics to impair your judgement and make everything looks nice. This is kinda like when you go clubbing, all the girls look so hot in those dim lighting, but just wait till you wake up to the same hot girl the next morning. You will be surprised!

The shop has a trademark scent which reminded me of ION Orchard. Their range of perfume do not come cheap.

Seriously I think that one of the way USA can get out of their deficit situation is through Abercrombie. Through their astute marketing strategy, they can sell their Ivy league style of fashion at a premium price to the Asian peeps who always perceived all 'Ang Mo style' are more fashionable and more atas.

I do agreed to some extend that the Americans are innovative and creative which is something I would like to emulate down the road.

Btw I got moi a Nakamichi My Mini speaker. Will try to do a review on it after I test it out with my Mini X speakers.

the song that is ringing in my head

Not a fan of the Twilight saga. But of late, this song has been repeating in my head.

And its no thanks to this video. lol.

Love is sweet when it is sincere and geniune. Congrats both.

Xmas pressies

It is usually the final month of the year that the credit card get piping hot due to overusage.

I spent a bomb. On Christmas pressies and on moi self.

This year I got these and they are all my Xmas pressies. Yeah.

1. Garmin Forerunner 210. Thanks babes.
2. Two Emporio Armani Tees. Thanks JY.
3. Mistral fan during the Xmas game. Thanks ST.
4. Reebok Dri-fit Tee. Thanks KW.

This Xmas I was Santa to these peeps, and I got them these:

1. JY - Marc Jacobs Black Preppy Nyon Camera Bag which can easily double as a weekend casual sling bag.
2. SM and kid- Marc Jacobs Bianca Clutch (Copperish) and Toy cars set
3. GC - Ashleigh & Bunwood Diffuser
4. KW - Crabtree and Evelyn set
5. SL - Aroma Diffuser

The fun thing about Xmas is the gift exchange. DUH. and the feasts. Yum.

The intention and thought in what to get for the other party reflects how well you know each other. Set a budget, work within it to get the best possible gift one can.

We have the generic gifts like chocolate, towel set (preferably Esprit), hand lotions and the lists go on. And personlised gifts that is priceless.

So did you get what you wish for? I did.

Christmas 2011

In another about a one odd hour to go, Christmas 2011 will soon be over.

In the meantime, another glass of bubbles and A Merry Xmas to all.
