  1. I personally don't think he needs this forum. He's popular enough that word of mouth can easily get him all the customers he needs.
  2. Ahhh... The King is.... Smoother than a half-boiled egg down my throat More refreshing than a cup of kopi-O in the morning More tempting than a plate of $5 Murtabak Sweeter than the kaya on my toast More varied (in frequency response) than the amount of items in a Yong Tau Foo stall More articulate than the Lao Hero in the Kopi-Tiam and More fulfilling than a giant cup of Milo Dinosaur!!! Mmm delicious!!!

  7. Hi long time lurker here, just want to share some funny moments in my old workplace... was working at a fast food kiosk named "Water-Rise" and most of the time i will be the only staff at that shop, doing everything from cashiering to cooking to cleaning. Sometimes there will be customers who will ask really strange questions... Office lady: Hey Water-Rise very cute name! me: Thanks mdm, anything i can get for you? Office lady: Do you use water to fry your chicken wings? At that moment i have the impulse to say,"Yes!!! Using 42 different herbs and spices we manage to make water so hot that it exceeds its boiling point and goes into a state where it acts like cooking oil, amazing isn't it? It's healthier and more delicious!" But common sense took over me and i said... me: No mdm, we use cooking oil to fry our chicken wings. Would you like to have some? 3 wings for only $2, special offer!
  8. "The greatest injustice in the world is to bring a child into this world, and not be able to offer it peace." -Nafisa Joseph, Miss India Universe 1997 Hi all! Welcome to ANNOY (Absolutely Neccessary Nonsense Offered to You) weekly, your truly whimsical half-fortnightly article that you should read only if your feeling of boredom is stronger than the feelings of masochistic "sorry-ness" people from Head-fi have for their and each others' wallets. I apologise for the rather sombre opening, but I hope to have your understanding as you read on further. This post is not an excuse to make a rant, to spread twisted thoughts or even a mini-blog, but to create a topic that (hopefully) people will share and contribute their opinions,ideas or stories with each other. For this week, let's start with "How/why/when do you get into the world of headphones and audio equipment?" Kindly allow me to share my story... Ever since I'm young, my family was a really dysfunctional one. A suitable metaphor would be a "pane of glass which is fragmented and cracked in evey possible place but strangely has not broken into pieces". My parents and sibling quarrelled daily for diverse reasons such as financial(Our first refrigerator was a mini-fridge salvaged from the dumping corner in our void deck), choice of their careers, studies and relationship problems. Even a simple innocent "hey what's for lunch?" will lead to a heated shouting match about another totally unrelated issue which will usually last until dinner or even supper time. Therefore, almost a decade ago, in a quest to save my sanity(no joke, my brother is currently seeing a psychiatrist), I decided to find ways to spend my energy and free time, anything that will get me away from my family, and to find an outlet to vent my frustrations. Some of the methods i tried were ~playing basketball (it's tiring to play for long hours) ~swimming (looked grotesquely wrinkled, bleached and sun-burnt after spending 5++ hours at the pool) ~reading (librarians are getting worried about this kid who treats the library as his home) However, there are times which i wanted to just close my eyes and relax, and i found the solution when my primary school classmate lent me his $3.50 Made in China receiver which comes with its very own stock earbuds.(Wooopieee!!!) (My house did not have a radio at that time) Music at any moment I wanted!!! (Even though the soundstage was so bad that the whole band seems to be performing in my right eyeball.) Music is all I could hear and think, no more endless bickering. I listened to the receiver almost all the time i spent at home and turned the volume so loud that I have Tinnitus now ( I used to ask my friends "Is the Civil Defense siren on and how come it's on all the time?") Fast forward 10 years and my love for enjoying music is still the same. I've learnt my lesson about taking care about my ears and keeping the volume low while listening to music.(Volume level 2/30 for the Creative MUvo MP3 player with Cresyn LMX-EP630 is sufficient for me.) I'm still trying to help my family patch up so dun worry about it folks. So share with me and everyone "How/why/when do you get into the world of headphones and audio equipment?" Thank you for your time in reading my post and I hope you wouldn't add me into your "List of Forum People to Ignore". Have fun and enjoy your music everyone! This is A.G your friendly ANNOY weekly writer signing off.
