Louis Vuitton…worth buying?

Posted by KhoKing on Monday Aug 25, 2008 Under Rojak

What so special about LV that one is willing to spent $$$ on getting just a simple bag? Is it the brand? the quality? the price?

Hmm…Lv…LV…Louis Vuitton!

Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM – N51106

louis-vuitton-neverfull-gm-n51106.jpg

Price tag? JPY86310 (RM2850.00), out of stock.

Many reseller in Japan is selling at ABOVE LV SRP, and still…sold out in most places.

Ok, this GM model is of bigger size than the PM model that I bought for my customer in the post that I recently blog about, both seems very high demand and sold out at LV stores and many online resellers.

Will get one…soon… :)

ShaShinKi Merdeka Logo…

Posted by KhoKing on Monday Aug 25, 2008 Under Rojak

Inspired by Google…I have started Seasoning Logo of ShaShinKi since many years ago (yeah…ShaShinKi is nearly 3 years old now).

Coming this 51st Independence Day of Malaysia (Hari Merdeka), I have created a dedicated Merdeka logo of ShaShinKi. Not to say astonishing design, but just to remember the day of my country getting independence. :)

I am not a very creative person myself…no choice…can’t afford a dedicated art designer at the moment…so will have to try with whatever lightbulbs in my brain… :P

Happy Merdeka Day to All! :)

Yeah…after the canceled event that makes Malaysia shine on the world’s stage…now the authority has allowed the show to continue and will be held on the predetermined date of 29th August 2008 on Merdeka Stadium.

If this story (canceled and resumed) is just part of the advertising campaign tactics, then the planner is sure one genius as every major news agencies in the world has talked about this show “for free”…and I guess the ticket will be sold to near 100% by the time of the concert…hahaa…yeah… :D

Amazing Google Index Speed!

It is amazing how fast and how efficient Google Bot is! I just blogged about the LV bag this morning, and now Google has already indexed the page!

In fact, the post that I blogged 24 mins ago has also been indexed by Google! That is really amazing!

I heard Google loves blog…but I don’t know if they loves it that much! :P

(I wonder how long does it takes for this post to show up on Google search later… :D )

Louis Vuitton (LV) Damier Neverfull MM Bag N51105 = Authentic or Fake?

Posted by KhoKing on Friday Aug 22, 2008 Under Rojak

Helped a customer to get a LV bag in Japan recently. Bought from a reliable shop at quite a premier price (though might still be cheap to some).

I did not buy from a LV store, as this bag is of so very high demand that most LV stores in Japan have run out of stock. Instead, I ordered from a big bag seller in Japan.

When receiving the bag, to my surprise there is NO BOX or any label showing if the bag is genuine or fake. I have a hard time telling, as I have not bought a LV bag before (my wife and I are no an of LV). However, I must admit that the bag looks very nice, very neat stitches and very simple and clean design.

Here are some photos to share (as there will be many pirates selling this bag in the internet, so I better watermarked my photos below):

Stone Age Computer? Come on…

Posted by KhoKing on Friday Aug 22, 2008 Under Computer / IT

I read about a friend’s blog recently, that her company is still using and providing her a “stone age” computer for her to use.

A Chinese saying:”If you want to have Quality results, you should use Quality tools” (sorry, I do not have a Chinese software to type in Chinese)

For people who use computer daily, he/she should know very well how important it is to have a good and fast running computer in order to have the job done (quality job). A slow and ill working computer might still get the job done, but that is not good enough. Quality job comes from happy employer. If you can keep your employer happy and highly motivated, then you will get Quality job done. Google knows this very well, hence providing a world refreshing working environment to their employers, where everybody (ok…almost everybody…or many people…) wish to get into Google.

This is 21st century now…computer is the very very basic tool that one should be stingy of. As myself is using computer everyday (more than 8 hours a day), personally I can feel how frustrating it is when a computer is slow and irresponsive.

Soon I will get a new PC. I am going to get a 24 inches LCD monitor for myself, while I will get a 19″ LCD new computer for one of my staff. CPU? Anything with coreduo is not going to disappoint in today’s world, but of course I am going to pump the memory to 3GB or 4GB. Can’t wait to build my own PC again! :D

(Blogged using a 12″ macbook intel duo core 1.83Ghz with 2GB memory.)

Olympic Medals…20th August 2008

Posted by KhoKing on Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 Under Rojak

As of today, China has won 43 Gold Medals in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Creating a history high score. Followed by USA which has 26 Golds so far. It is very likely that China is going to be the Grand Champion this time…crowning as the world best athletes/sports country.

Here’s the link to the medal standing:

http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/INF/GL/95A/GL0000000.shtml

There are still 4 more days to go before closing…

Malaysia? We have one Silver won by LEE Chong Wei, and I believe that is the only medal that we will bring back from this 2008 Beijing Olympic. Well done, Lee! :)

Wimax service in Klang Valley!

Posted by KhoKing on Wednesday Aug 20, 2008 Under Computer / IT

Packet One Networks (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (P1) has today launched and announce the service of WIMAX to Malaysians!

p1.jpg

What so special about WIMAX? It is the high speed internet connection service that you no longer crawling but on the express lane of internet (in Malaysia standard)!

Only selected areas are with WIMAX service at the moment: KLCC, Golden Triangle, Pekeliling, Setapak, Gombak, Seri Rampai, Sentul, Pudu, selected areas in Subang Jaya, USJ 1, USJ 7 and Subang Hi‐Tech area.

Too bad, Johor not part of it yet. I do wish to have fast internet connection, especially on the wireless. I have heard horror story about Streamyx, really hope to have an alternative for high speed internet connection in Malaysia.

The fee seems very reasonable, not much different from Streamyx, however the service quality is still yet to know…

p1-package.jpg

Anyhow, an alternative to Streamyx is good…the more the merrier…no monopoly please… :)

Baby Chair for my Baby…

Posted by KhoKing on Saturday Aug 16, 2008 Under Family

Today went to purchase baby chair for my baby…for use in car one. Went to Diamond City in Hiroshima City, costs quite a lot…JPY49950 (around RM1550). However, no stock there, have to wait for a week for new stock. Must be good model, hence good selling.

My wife and I have a thought that we should order from the internet, price should be cheaper. So we went home empty handed (except some other stuffs).

I make order of the baby chair just now from the internet. Price = JPY42800 with free shipping to my door steps. So is quite a saving.

Which model and brand did I bought? Let’s have a look…

excombi-babychair.jpg

Yeah, it can turn 360 degrees. The model is called Excombi, from Combi. I think it is the most luxury model from Combi. The cushion looks great too!

Yeah, expensive…but as compared to the life and protection of my baby, RM1500 is nothing. :)

Posted by KhoKing on Saturday Aug 9, 2008 Under Rojak

It is a long opening ceremony, from 8pm till 12 midnight. Love the opening fireworks and drum play.

Olympic torch fire does not give much surprise or as much impact, but still a good show.

Kang Kong found!!!

Posted by foong on Friday Aug 1, 2008 Under Family, Foong Can Cook

Ohisashiburi no Kang Kong, eventually found in Japan!!

kangkong.JPG

(I saw Megumi’s foot on the lower left of the photo)

I know those of you in Malaysia must be laughing at me now, but nevermind, you might not understand how a KangKong lover found KangKong after three years missing of it.

Today while shopping at the Vege stall nearby the eki, I found this!! Immediately took 10 packages without second thought. Well, it doesnt cost much compare to other type of vege, 39 yen per pack, expenssive? I would say not expenssive at all.

This is the first time I found KangKong here in Japan. I don’t think it can be found in the supermarket, in any season. But I always found surprise in this very small vege stall.

Since now is summer, some vege like the cili, sweet corn, ladyfinger are selling very cheap. So eat more vege!

Hmm.. tonight I’m gonna cook a big plate of KangKong Belacan!! Yeah!!

Updated by hubby:
The finished product…
