Least Expected

I told myself that I will spend less in 2014 after a major wardrobe increment from Bangkok. It's expected that the items wouldn't last but with the amount of clothes I bought in 2013, will be sufficient.

I however am still intrigued with Yoshida Porter and Head Porter items. Knowing that it's best gotten in Japan itself, I wondered whether there's a local store that carries them and found Surrender at Raffles Hotel shopping gallery.

Am I lucky or do I have a good sense for SALE? It's a rare moment that I was in the area so I decided to check the shop. Lo and behold, the shop was on sale, a freaking huge sale. As high as 80%!!! It was meant as a closed door event but I was allowed in. I went a tad insane as the prices were slashed drastically.
Casely Hayford at $50 (originally $360)
The store was in a mess as they were setting up for the bazaar but you get first pick on great stuff. I managed to get a Casely Hayford denim crew for a steal of $50 from the original price of $360. As this was unplanned and I was with my buddy, I had left and eyed on something when I stepped out.

Surprisingly I was passing at City Hall again the next day, I wanted to check out what they had put up. True enough, the store was more organized and there were full shelves of clothes. Got out with another bag at $200 damage.
Head Porter Plus at $100 (originally $400)
Maison Kitsune at $100 (Originally $280)
Somehow, I have this urge to visit Surrender again before their bazaar ends. Who knows what other great things they might bring out over the week.

On top of spree at Surrender, I also bought a T-shirt online from GoForBrokeApparel in support of a Korean YouTube comedian in California, David So. I loved one of his featured shirt and got it myself. Have to support a YouTube channel that I constantly follows right. It'll be badass if the t-shirt was in black.

Advances

My PC storage was begging for mercy with the siblings massive downloads of series and movies. I've been planning to expand my storage space and been eyeing the WD Mybook Live. It's a personal 3GB cloud storage which is indirectly connected to the PC but to my home network. I can even retrieve any files while I'm outside using my iPhone and iPad. Such fun.

Though with only a home broadband, data speed is slower than usual. I will need to upgrade to fibre optic to experience better performance.
This semester, I have more online lessons than face-face sessions. I needed to face the computer and not be distracted with my surrounding. I can still hear the surrounding with my iPhone earpiece and I urgently need a replacement for my Jay-1 earphone which went dead on me after I accidentally put it the washer. 
It took me a while to find the game Deadpool and finally manage to find it at Qisahn online store. I can't wait to play on top of my 4 other games. Hahahaha... Need to find the time soon.
Ok, this may not be technology but more on versatility. I needed to find a spare running shoe which should also be suitable for daily shoes. Since I have  Adidas 40% voucher voucher, I got myself a ZX8000 which is light and elegantly matched with most of my outfit. Also not wasting the discount, I also got another pair of newly re-release pair of Stan Smith.
As always, I can't seem to miss out books. Some books I gotten during school days.
