Too little too much
Salam people. Last saturday i went to Holiday Inn Plaza near Central Johor Bahru. Actually, me and family went there just to eat Pizza Hut, for fun's sake. It turned out to be an outing which burnt a hole (multiple holes?) in my pockets instead.
During the lunch at afternoon, mom wanted to change her Singapore dollars to Malaysian ringgit. So, thinking it was just a normal walk-in-the-park routine, i voluntered myself. Oh how i regretted it. As soon as i stepped into the cold interior of the shopping mall, i knew that something was wrong. It couldnt be.I must be dreaming. THE CD SHOPS ARE BACK!!!! ( i mean the PIRATED-cd shops are back!!)
If you all are wondering why i am shocked, it was because a few years back virtually every pirated cd shop was closed after a raid from the police to curb piracy goods. And if you all are wondering what is the difference between cd shops there and any other cd shops in johor, the shops there sell ALL kinds of software Cds. From photoshop to engineering autocad. From games to nursery rhymes ( Barney anyone?). HEAVEN! oh well. so i bought a couple of software cds such as FL studio 9 ( have been dying to buy that for ages) and games such as Pro Evolution Soccer 2010! FOR ONLY RM 10 EACH!! Which is around only $4.50? Seeing is not yet believing, but BUYING is. There goes some of my monthly allowance. Call it the 'Sim Lim square' of Johor if you like. $-$
Oh and dont worry, EVERY cd was 'installable' and no fake. peace.
That is all for now. Until next time,
wassalam.
