QUIK!

Transferring music is easy. Since I still have my HD3, I have Sonicstage installed, and it is familiar ground for me. Sound quality is just amazing. Something that I have come to expect from Sony. And this was in 2004! Shame that they didn't go on and develop a full-fledged video player from VAIO pocket. I'm still waiting for their large capacity player that does just music playing. No need all those web-browsing shit, thank you very much.

Now that's crossed from the list, next up, a VAIO wireless digital streaming speaker!



Ideally to be placed in the bathroom, hehe.

I am never a huge fan of coffee, but for some reason I always have this weird fascination towards coffee machines. Some coffee machines are really sleek and sexy, and they just calls out to you to grab them and head to the checkout. I would do that in a snap if not for the exorbitant prices. So usually, the sensible side of me will then start a heated argument with the other not-so-sensible side of me whether I should get one. I will then have to walk away for I know for a fact after purchasing it and using it for few times, it will then lie there one day collecting dust more than dispensing coffee.

However, I stumbled upon this sexy WMF 1 Coffee Maker which originally cost £95, but have been slashed for MANY times all the way down to £19! I thought “what a bargain”! This maker has won the prestigious red dot design award and you can clearly see why. This is definitely a style-over-substance kinda application but I'm so loving it. It comes in 4 different colors and I must say they all look fabulous. It only makes 1 cup of coffee and uses the pod system. Pods are not cheap either, but I feel like getting this as a décor piece more than a real coffee maker!

Decisions decisions…

I have, in the past, been awed by the works by the guys at Seksan Design. I stumbled across their website by chance and truly loved the work they had done, particularly this refurbishing project on a rather old property in PJ Sect 16. I loved how the old and modern elements blend together, creating a space that I would truly dream of. Seksan had a feature on the papers yesterday, this time with another refurbishment project on a Sec17 70s home. They are asking for RM4.2 for that prop. A Sec17 property with about 6000sf land is currently going for about RM1.8m. Now if only I could guess the cost of such project but if they do manage to achieve their asking price, they are in for huge profits!

While snooping through their website, I have also just realised that Seksan was responsible for the landscaping of Hijauan Kiara. Much have been said about their amazing landscaping of this project, which has in a way helped generate much interest in the project. Bukit Kiara Properties have also been milking every cent out of the money they spent on the landscaping of the project by promoting how amazing the landscaping is (the first granite pool in Mont' Kiara, RM200,000 Royal Dutch turf, first to have Spa-island - whatever that means, German-imported Dedon garden furniture, etc) in every way possible. But the question remains, did they miss out in the most important element in any project - the internal finishing of the units? Time will tell, so far the project has been VP-ed and am eagerly awaiting for owners feedback on the finishing.
