This is the Logitech x-530 speakers system. It has 4 pieces of satellite speakers, a center speaker, and a sub-woofer, the surround sound effect – divine! Hey wait a minute! Damn, I’m not trying to introduce you to my newly acquired speakers. My puppy dog had just bitten off the speakers wirings!

Never, Ever! put your puppies where your speaker wires are. They’ll probably take them as their chewy, munchy toys.

Anyways, I’m gonna try to cut off the broken part, then manually join/twist the wires back together and then apply insulation to them again. Any loss of audio quality is yet to be known. Will try that out tomorrow. Any suggestions from electricians out there who knows how to fix these sort of problems? Let me know you guys.

Do kids nowadays have anything to worry about other than study hard and score Aces? I mean, everything is prepared and ready for them from the minute they were borned, and all they have to do it follow the path their parents had set for them. Kids nowadays are so in a different league of their own, man!

We kids from the 90′s used to have our nearest parks as our playground. Nowadays, the kids are having the world as their playground. From cellphones to cars, to International branded merchandises – Do I need to mention Armani Prada Gucci Fendi cK and Guess what I’m gonna say next? Guess okay, Guess.

Talk about going to school, even if the school is just 2 blocks away, they’ll also need a dedicated driver to fetch them, and somemore must use the best car in the house! Preferably, Mercedes Benz, if not, Lexus also can. Nabeh, last time the best “car” we had are the BMX and China’s Dragonfly brand bicycles, and we had to be our own driver, too!

Old-school bicycles. I had both of them before!

And then somemore, kids nowadays demanded that their breakfast be from McD, lunch from KFC and dinner from Burger King. No wonder kids nowadays are having obesity problems.

Last but not least, kids nowadays are showered with jackpots and grand prizes.

Mama: “Loi loi, if you get 7As ah, daddy will take you see the Miki mao in Hong Kong Disneyland”

Loi Loi: “Wahhh, I wan I wan. Somemore, can I have the RM2,000 XXX brand camera phone oso? Can lah mama!”

Mama: “Aiya, go back and study, later I talk to daddy about it.”

Then, the D-day comes as the jackpot results (UPSR result) is released. This lucky girl hit jackpot with all 7 numbers kena straight!

So, she won the grand prize of a RM2,000 handphone, a trip to Hong Kong to see the Miki mao in Disneyland, and an ang pow of undisclosed amount. Nabeh, during my time hor, if I score 7As and got rewarded a trip to Kuching from Sibu plus an angpow, I’ll be the happiest kid in the world already!

Kids nowadays…

Have you ever been to a casino? Have you ever noticed that their ATM machines are always easier to find and shinier than any other ATMs outside of the casino?

This is the Crown Casino in Melbourne. The sign board clearly shows where the ATMs are. See the difference in sizes there? The ATMs stands out among all others. Even the elderly, who frequents the place, can see without their glasses on!!

Look at these babies. They’re fully armored with shiny, reflective metal plates. So robbers can’t break them? No. So people can take money out be happy about it. Cause they’re looking at something new and different from other ATMs out there. Thus, making them coming back again for more money.

No wonder gamblers feels like coming back even if they’re always losing. Because nothing beats withdrawing money from a shiny ATM machine, and even though they’ll lose them in the end, it is worth every penny of it!

Students of more than 100 schools are celebrating a day off today as their school teachers went on strike against the new Industrial Relations law, which is about to be legislated within a week or so.

This is my new pet dog, Milo. She’s a mini Fox-Terrier (Maltese mix) aged 11 weeks. Her name is derived from Baby Milo of the Bathing Ape t-shirt series. I don’t have much ideas for nice dog names really, all those Jacky, Bobbie, Lily names are all over-used. Anyone has any suggestions on names for my next dog?

This is the Ikea outlet in Richmond, Melbourne. The store is housed under Victoria Gardens Shopping Centre, situated at the corner of Victoria Street and Burnley Street.

Ikea is basically divided into three main areas, as of all Ikeas around the world. The areas being the showroom, the marketplace, and the restaurant. The showroom is where shoppers can experience each and every products in Ikea. Selections are then made and their locations written down on a piece of leaflet provided. The marketplace is a huge depot where all the products are located. The shoppers will have to collect their desired products at its specific locations. And finally, the restaurant are pretty much self-explanatory. It’s where hungry and thirsty people go to have their body replenished.

Alright, to start off, don’t forget to take that little piece of information leaflet and a pencil. If you miss them at the entrance, there’s lots more in around the store. It’s very handy for us to jot down products’ locations, prices, quantities, and also make additional notes if necessary.

You can “borrow” the yellow bags to place their items in. It’s their alternative to a shopping cart on the Showroom level.

I love this part. You can actually create your own table by choosing your preferred table top and the legs.

Very flexible. It’s all your choice!

One of the many office settings in Ikea. I’ll build myself a home office one day using Ikea furnitures. They look awesomelly great!

Chairs galore.

Then, some bedroom furnitures…

Sultan sleep on these mattresses, and I tell ya, once you sleep on them, you don’t feel like waking up in the morning! They’re too comfy.

and into the kitchen…

Kitchen components are available as well. Ikea allows you to mix and match their products and it gives that flexibility advantage to shoppers.

End of the day, shopping experience in Ikea is fantastic. The ambience is cool, and their product designs are really eye-catching and creative, no doubt about that.
