back soon

looking forward to going back. its gonna be a nice, long holiday for me. I guess 3 weeks can be considered quite long now that I'm a working adult. I think I'll save for my holidays for the later half of the year next time. There are less public holidays around that period in Aussie. When I come back here in March... theres gonna be the Easter long weekend, and I think theres a couple other days of public hols. Nice!

At the moment, I'm also looking forward to coming back from KL. 'Cuz then I can buy myself a new monitor! I'm also gonna get a pair of new speakers. Will most probably get this one
Logitech Z-2300

THX certified and it has a few good reviews on the net. And its only $170! 5.1 speakers would be nice, and its not that ex, only $500 (only $500?? When did $500 start getting cheap...) But too much wires to stuff around with, and don't really have the room for them.

I wanted to do a sound test, so went to Harvey Norman with Thos today. But they got rid of their speaker setups. Have to ask the sales clerk or someone to connect the speakers so you can listen to it, and I couldn't be stuffed dealing with them. They didn't have these ones on display anway. Worst thing is that its bloody overpriced there. They were selling the speakers for $300!!! Well... $299.95 to be exact, but wth... its almost twice the price compared to the computer shop. Stoopid. Kiang's rule #1: Never pay retail at 'superstores'.
