Exams are over!

So the dreaded 3 horsemen of the Apocalypse (yes yes there are more than 3) have passed and now I only dread their results. Please horsemen, give me a chance. I'm only 19.

Went to The Adelphi for the first time to Jaben to try on their sex toys aka aural sex toys aka earphones. If you guys don't know, Jaben is to the audio community here what Cold Storage is to the supermarkets in Singapore, except with exclusivity thrown in. They stock a huuuuge range of audio products and brands and it's no exaggeration to mention that they really do know their stuff well. Obviously they don't go right down to the nitty gritty technical details but they do know how to help you make a purchase. AND I think I'm gonna get a pair of sexphones from them, the Koss Portapros. I'm deliberating between them and the beyerdynamic DTX800 but the Koss appeals so much more on price and dynamicism. It's just totally unbeatable for that price and they look oh-so-good. Thanks Jerold for turning me into an audiophile yes, albeit not as insane as you.

Oh and they throw in free food every Friday. Go visit at 1 Coleman Street, 04-16 The Adelphi or simply visit their website. To some, it's a porn site. To others, pure listening heaven or as they call it, "Audio Salvation".

Oh and I introduced Jerold to Timbre today. Went up to Armenian Street and watched from the outside as 53A performed yet again. The minute we crossed the street to Armenian I could hear Sara doing their routine of Stop and Stare again, the same song we heard when Audrey, Yiming and I headed there after a failed attempt at MoS. That song now reminds me of that day we went there and the atmosphere at accompanied it which is pretty nostalgic and just captures the essence of that outing so well. Hope it happens again. Ah.


Koss Portapros. The ultimate in aural sex. Sort of. Almost.
