Is this the end?

Kinda meaningless to keep this blog going. I have also decided to remove many of my previous posts. Not like anyone is actually reading this, but now there is less of me in cyberspace.....

I have always been very particular about my earphones. Since the day I owned a Sony Walkman when I was 11, I have been a great believer of Sony earphones. No others have swayed my preference. So today when my 3 year old Sony earphones lost audio on one side I was most upset. Went to the shop across from work and could not find the model to replace the one I had. Even though I have a spare at home, actually more than one, I have the Bose (which I don't like) and the Sony which did not quite match up to the current one that broke. What did I do? I felt that maybe I should be brave and embrace new technology and mentality and thus I purchased the Koss. Even 'What-HiFi' was raving about Koss earphones so I thought I can't go wrong. $79.95 later I am not convinced. So I came home and compared all 3 that I now possess. I must say, price aside, I would rate:No. 1 - Sony MDR-E931No. 2 - Koss KE29ENo. 3 - Bose In-Ear HeadphonesSo it goes to show that sometimes what we pay aren't necessarily for the quality but more for the brand. I am upset that the Koss did not provide twice the listening pleasure of that of Sony!

Guitar Hero World Tour


I can't wait to get this! It has 86 songs of master recordings! If only I had a PS3, I can then download the extra songs online. Can you imagine the songs from the entire Metallica Death Magnetic album can be downloaded for $2 each. Too bad I only have the slimline PS2.
This is the best toy ever invented!

Gadgets Galore

Best looking keyboard, looks good next to my LCD TV.

Very sleek phone, feels great in palm. Fantastic screen!

I love this, plays music, videos and my favoutrite word game.


I had to buy this coz it is so cute, and actually WORKS! You plug your guitar in and voila! It's a mini amp that runs on either battery or AC adapter. Marshall MS4, cutest thing at 25cm tall.

Is this too many gadgets for a gal to own?
