******KARAOKE******!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha and it's not just those karaoke devices where you put in VCDs/DVDs and sing with microphones, but the type where you put in VCDs/DVDs and sing with microphones AND which has a 500GB harddisk which already contains 13,000 karaoke tracks and has its own OS (operating system) where you can burn in songs from VCDs, DVDs and catalogue them! Comes with wireless mics as well...although wireless's pretty common; isn't that big a deal. :)
We bought the whole thing from Merdeka at Sim Lim, and it's got affiliations with K-Box or something like that. The chinese songs are pretty up to date, although english songs are a bit lacking in some areas (they've still got all the oldies though, along with some songs that were released just last year). I'm wondering where i'd get all those missing karaoke tracks now...anyone knows where i can get recent karaoke VCDs? At good prices too...free is preferred but not expected haha! :D
Anyway, well, just to let you know lah huh. :)
Oh, and for those who've been reading regularly...you might've formed the link that if i was at Sim Lim today...i probably bought my harddisk today as well! And you are right! ...although it wasn't exactly the result i would've liked. Got that 1000GB harddisk today from Fuwell for about $440, which's a little bit less than what i would've paid for a month ago.
But i wanted to get a 3.5" e-sata capable harddisk enclosure to go with it, and one where i can trust that harddisk cooling would be sufficient and there'd be a measure of shock-proofing (like my good 'ol Cooler Master X Craft enclosure here...i heard some good things about A.C. Ryan AluBox too). Not that my current computer's even capable of e-sata, but u can never be too future-proof. Especially if the cost of future-proofing's only around 10 extra dollars.
And you know what? None of those computer stores at Sim Lim that were open (which numbered around 15) had an e-sata enclosure in stock! All except one indian store that is, and they could only offer me a display set of an unknown brand without a box or warranty that didn't seem all that reliable. The way the shops responded to my inquiries, it was as if the technology's too advanced or something.
Which's really weird, since i thought i remembered CHALLENGER selling e-sata enclosures too, and Challenger wasn't the type of superstore to stock up on the "latest technology" if you ask me. What's going on?? This ignorant guy here demands an explaination!! >.<
So now my harddisk's plain exposed. I was thinking of plugging it into my main computer temporarily to transfer my precious (and enormous amounts of) data out. But, now that i think about it, it just isn't worth the effort...i'd have to mount and unmount it, plug and unplug it, etc.
So for now, i'm just putting it where the sun doesn't shine and waiting for a suitable time to go and shop for that elusive little harddisk enclosure. I've probably got enough disk space left to last awhile, in any case.
