Heavy Retail Therapy

Hello everybody!

As the title states, I've had some heavy retail therapy done the last 2 days. Maybe it's not as heavy as some people, but it is to me...

I bought my speakers!!! Decided on this:

The red rings really are much redder than what u can see here. And it isn't too bad looking, although I'd have preferred something to the likes of piano gloss or chrome or glossy silver... but well, beggars can't be choosers. This one sounds pretty decent. And yes, I've tested the Sonic Gear speakers. At first they sounded alright... then I heard the Altec Lansing ones, and I was like, k, Sonic Gear's outta my list.

RRP$89. I got mine for $73! Yay!

I also got myself my long sought after film scanner: The CanoScan 8800F!

Now I can scan my film and slides into my computer!!! Yeah! And it can do 35mm and Medium Format! Hopefully it's full frame, but otherwise, I have ideas for a workaround. So if any of you are old-school enough, or into Lomo, and you want to digitize your images, feel free to look for me! I can do it for you when I have the time! Yeah yeah! Hahaha!

RRP$319. I got mine for $299. Used to see it at $293, but the shop that sells it at the price doesn't have anymore stocks. Although I was quite reluctant to pay $6 more, there aren't many places that sell this, and nowhere sells this below $300. So-o-o... *shrugs* Oh wells. Let's not think about the price.

Now u see why I call this heavy retail therapy. Haha! Burned a hole in my pocket man... But wait! It's not just heavy on the price tag, it's LITERALLY HEAVY too! Cynthia can vouch for that... haha! My scanner at least. My speakers weighed about 11kg (so the manual says), and my scanner weighed in at around 10kg too! That's why I spread them out over 2 days. My arms are abit achy from lugging them around on the days that I bought each item. Haha!

K la... gonna prepare from breakfast at Jln Senang already. Tau huay fever!!! Woohoo!!!
