big day....

tuesday today is the big day....

oh yeah the day hundreds and thousands would descent upon a place known as ion orchard .....

so how can i miss such a big day........ haha but in fact, that was just an excuse..... due to some last minute requirement at work, i left office late and i thought, might as well adjourn to new crown jewel of orchard road instead of facing the peak hour traffic....

as usual i parked at my favourite free parking lane and took a short stroll to wheelock place...... where i spend some time at borders..... browsed through a few car, audio and watch magazines.......

so over at ion, the thing i found most amusing is the name that michael tay chose to front his new store, a name that perhaps close to half his customers would have troubling enunciating..... i mean if it's supposed to be the hour glass then let it be the hour glass.......

since this was my first time there, i was more interested in finding out the layout and orientation of the new mall...... which is why i didnt step into any of the shops.... i'd leave it for next time....

today is vesak day

ah ha today is vesak day.... public holiday so there is no need to report for work ....had a good sleep and woke up close to noon time.......power lah, recharged and feeling refreshed....

1st stop: x audio ......

met up with a couple of friends there......since the acrolink 4030 was such a success i thought might as well buy another one to try.....

so this time round, bought 1.5m of the AC power cable...... and decided to use the oyaide gold-plated plugs..... again hee...... although the rhodium-plated plugs are slightly cheaper, i was thinking i like gold a little bit more......... this time more damage than 1m of cos.....a little bit more lah....

came back home not too long ago and first thing first, plug in the cable to the CAL delta transport and let it run for a couple of hours....... i'll let u know how it goes in a couple of days.....with more hours, things usually do improve.....

2nd stop: the hour glass at takashimaya.....

wah public holiday hor..... the orchard road traffic is one kind of .... F*****......turned left at crown hotel.....and WAH.....paragon carpark full.......the ura carpark full......hotel carpark full..........everywhere full sia.......damn! cannot stand the waiting so i took a quick turn and end up at cairnhill art centre........ haha..... in the end save money...... but of cos walked a little bit more...

go hour glass there see see look look...........the whole shop so crowded huh and how come so many ppl into watches ah..... some crowded around the rolex displays, cartier display and so on so on.....

nothing much interesting...... other than a few gerald genta jump hour watches.... hmmm swee!.... i also took a good look at the glashutte original watches.......quite nice quite nice.... let's not forget the jlc ewc rossi edition...... got the number 46 on the dial leh...leh...leh....... haha if u are a rossi fan of cos look nice..... if not others would think it's idiotic...

after awhile, approached a salesperson and asked him about the richard mille rm005-fm......well, he said, can be arranged......... so next question, how much?.......so he tapped tapped the calculator......ehhh, 20%..... that's the max..... factory controlled......

hee ok mission accomplished.... i said thank you and let's go....

ok lah.... i better go listen to music and see how the acrolink performs...
