Because Halloween this year is on a Wednesday, people are taking the chance to celebrate it anyway how this weekend.
- Did anyone know that Richard Clayderman is still alive? Neither did I. And apparently he's making a concert stop in Malaysia next month.
- Someone uploaded the short, 8 episode first season of Masterchef Singapore (thankfully not as a Mandarin speaking production) on YouTube, which I was only reminded of because of the brouhaha surrounding the winner. (Singaporeans, always must have got something to complain about)
- Haven't heard back from the retailer about my not-MIA book order even after I told them I got the order. Maybe they decided to write it off as a loss...?
- If you can find the time to renew your own car road tax at a post office, you should, because they started charging third party reps (from banks, insurance agencies, etc) another RM5 on top of the RM2 commission.
- Bought one of the last tickets to Jim Jefferies stop in Singapore happening next January... before they announced a second show because it sold out so quickly. I thought I had time to procrastinate and buy a little later. Urgh. Goodness knows I procrastinated this long to buy a ticket to the Franz Ferdinand gig next month.
- I'm kinda surprised that Sinead O' Connor hasn't already renounced Catholicism before embracing Islam this past week, given her beef with the church.
- How bad are sales for the upcoming Guns N' Roses concert that I keep seeing ticket promos everywhere?
- This week I found out Diptyque's advent calendar is RM2990, and last I heard, only one left in the standalone Pavilion store, which begs the question: how many did they have to start with? I mean, I get that they're not exactly cheap ("15 different 35g candles, seven 10ml fragrances, two 15ml body products and one 70g candle"). But must be nice to have that kind of pocket change lying around.
- Speaking of advent calendars, L'Occitane's one looks pretty cute: they have two different box designs, but judging by the pictures posted, it looks like it's the same stuff in both of them.
- Malay Mail is going digital in December. I can't remember the last time I laid eyes on a print version.
- Whoda thought that Winamp would be making a comeback in the 21st century?
