I want this LED Clock! My brother has one in his dorm. The blue light is so bright until blind can see it. The clock is so big and and the most coolest thing is the bright blue light. Uses AC adapter to run the clock and it’s expensive. I went to Prangin Mall to check out the price and the sales woman quoted me RM199. Woah, that’s a high price and my brother bought it for like RM100 over. He bought it in China though. Please tell me if you do see a cheaper one.

DAP Rocket Soft Toy / Plush Toy

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 17, 2008 – 11:43 am -

I went to the candlelight vigil at Gurney Drive yesterday night. Mom met her friend who is also our neighbour only then we got to know that she’s part of the Democratic Action Party (DAP). Mom bought me a toy and I like it very much. Hahaha. It’s the DAP’s Rocket soft toy for RM10.

USA Starbucks Card in Malaysia

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 5, 2008 – 12:28 am -

I remembered when I was ordering food at Starbucks Coffee, Suria KLCC, I saw a lady paid the cashier in cash and later she gave her a card. I then quickly surf the net to look for any Starbucks Coffee privillage card or sort of. What I found is Starbucks Card which is a prepaid card which stores credit for buying coffee.

Unfortunately, it’s only available in a few country only, etc. United States, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, UK and a few more. Malaysia is not in the list. However, that lady did give the cashier a card. Is it a foreign Starbucks Card and she was using it for point collection? I don’t know.

I saw the Starbucks Card quite interesting on the net and decided to get one for myself. For collection and also for use if I could use it in Malaysia. Checked Ebay and I found one that’s only $3. Bought it and it has arrived today in my letterbox. It took about 1 and a half week for the delivery from United States to Malaysia. It seems fast.

Nothing much in the envelope, there’s a greeting card and the Starbucks Card itself.

It has $0 credit in the card and I don’t what should I do with it. For the sake of funness and attractiveness of the card, I bought it off the net. I love Starbucks, but it’s expensive. Any Starbucks collector here?

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, I like!

Written by Nicholas Chan on September 3, 2008 – 1:02 am -

When we arrived in Kuala Lumpur a week ago, dad straight drove us to Pavilion at Bukit Bintang. The traffic jam at the area was killing us and we were so hungry and thus we didn’t want to think anymore, Pavilion for the go. =)

The parking must be expensive as it is a new and high class mall, traffic jams were everywhere in Kuala Lumpur city area and so going somewhere near and easy to park is always better to wait on the road.

Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur by you.

And holy shit, it’s the most expensive parking we ever paid for in Kuala Lumpur. Last time parking at Suria KLCC was below RM10 and now it’s over. Standard rate or not?

Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur by you.

Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur by you.

(my favourite Apple’s Epicentre)

Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur by you.

It’s a new mall of course it’s nice. There’s one side that locates all the designer’s label shop and all of them are 2 level. You don’t have to be rich and famous to get inside, you can choose not to buy but just walk inside. =D That’s what I always do. You can be shock when looking at the price tag, all are over RM1k. WOAHHH. Though, it’s what everyone expected.

Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur by you.

Pavilion Kuala Lumpur pwn Suria KLCC now because it’s not so crowded as in Suria KLCC. You can hardly move around at Suria KLCC. Pavilion is more quieter, has a better food court, nice location, bright mall and so on. It’s my spot. =) I bought nothing there, everything is expensive but I like the food.

Shopping in Singapore

Written by Nicholas Chan on August 26, 2008 – 10:20 pm -

It’s getting a feeling that Singapore is not a good place for shopping now. The exchange rate of Singapore Dollar is getting higher, and so stuff sell there is expensive when converting to Ringgit Malaysia. That’s why it doesn’t seems nice to shop in Singapore. Even the computer products are almost the same price as in Malaysia.

Ipod is still cheaper there though other Apple’s computer is just same price as in here, with a few bucks difference.

I went to Vivo City and just bought a pair of shorts and a couple of t-shirt, not saying that it’s cheaper or what than in Malaysia, it’s just there’s a small sales in the shop.

Went to IMM Mall too at Jurong and at there, we saw a $2 shop named Daiso, a Japanese brand company. At least, that’s a better place for me to scoop things up. One low flat rate, not very low, approximately RM4.40 when exchange to Ringgit Malaysia. A total of 31 items we bought, some is mom’s, some is mine, and some is dad’s.

I got myself wooden pencils, files for tuition use and school use, notepads, the cool pen holder shown in the photo and it’s all mainly stationery.

At Orchard Rd, just visited the Muji Store in Paragon. I love Muji’s stuff, everything sells there is so cool, simplicity, classy but some is expensive and some is not. I loves shopping for stationery there. The first time I went to a Muji Store was in Hong Kong in March, it was that time that I get to know about that shop. There’s no Muji in Malaysia though. Bought a lot of refills for pens, to keep my Muji stationery supplied until my next visit to a Muji store at don’t-know-where.

I thought that computers hardware is cheaper in Singapore, though there will always be tax when taking home to Malaysia. Surprisingly no check at the Malaysian’s custom. However, after looking around at the computer shops in Singapore, it’s not cheap, some is even more expensive than in Malaysia.

So, that’s why I bought my Aspire One mini-notebook in Low Yat Plaza, Kuala Lumpur rather in some typical Singapore’s computer shop. It’s like a few tens buck cheaper than Singapore.

This conclude my shoppings in my recent trip to the capital and Singapore. =)

China Beijing 2008 Olympics Limited Edition Coke

Written by Nicholas Chan on August 25, 2008 – 12:14 am -

Recently, I just bought a limited edition Coca Cola with the Beijing 2008 Olympics theme. There’s so many for me to choose and I only got one because it’s RM9.90 per bottle. I did not go to Beijing nor elsewhere in China, just got it in a local Jusco store when I was in Johor Bahru few days ago. Now, another Coke has added into my Coca Cola collection.

Olympics is now over and what’s next?

I am (probably) going to Ikea tomorrow

Written by Nicholas Chan on August 23, 2008 – 8:00 pm -

Ikea Malaysia by you.

I misses Ikea! The food especially, the cheap home decor accessories and the shopping fun at Ikea. I so wish that Penang have Ikea but the demand is so low here. Nevertheless, I have already made a little shopping list for me, only not to if daddy suddenly decided to go somewhere else.

Ikea Malaysia by you.

But it’s most probably that I am going there in tomorrow morning. It opens at 10am and I’ll gonna have my sweet time in the morning and it will be the last stop before I getting back home to Penang.

Ikea Malaysia by you.

Loves Ikea?

Update:I did not go to Ikea, unfortunately. We woke up late, and it’s not me who is driving the car and that’s why. Haha.
