His New Mistress

Over the past week, Mr Yap has been searching for the legendary 36 megapixel Nikon D800, which became available in Singapore last week.

It's either Nikon Singapore has an interesting marketing strategy to launch it with very limited stock, or the stores just don't carry enough stocks to supply the hot demand.

Just 2 hours ago, a kind staff at Funan's Challenger messaged him with news of its availability. Within 2 hours, Mr Yap got dressed, rushed out of the house, bought it and came home with his new mistress.

Mr Yap has several mistresses. Within the photography industry, he has 3 mistresses named D3X, D5100, and now D800. Audiophile side, he has Sonus Faber, Yamaha, Rotel, Bowers & Wilkins.

I welcome my latest competition, who will vie for Mr Yap's attention this week.

More than meets the eye

Recently, around my office, I spotted a deceptacon. It immediately reminded me of something Optimus Prime said in the first transformers movie – my favourite!

I’ve watched it tons of times. It’s my ironing movie. Mrs Yap's ironing secret: Ironing isn’t so dull if you’ve got a familiar movie playing in the background. The sound plays in the background, the movie plays in your head. That way, you can iron and watch your clothes too.

So when I saw this deceptacon, the following script automatically played in my head:



"With the All Spark gone, we cannot return life to our planet.

And fate has yielded its reward, a new world to call home. We live among its people now, hiding in plain sight, but watching over them in secret, waiting, protecting.

I have witnessed their capacity for courage.

And though we are worlds apart, like us, there's more to them than meets the eye.

I am Optimus Prime and I send this message to any surviving Autobots taking refuge among the stars.

We are here.

We are waiting."

My New LV

I’ve been eyeing a piece from LV since the start of this year.

But I told myself 6 years ago when I purchased my pink Monogram Vernis wallet that I would use it for at least 10 years before its time was up.

So when my eyes fell upon this Monogram Multicolour Eugenie wallet with a gorgeous pink interior…all I could do was wait. Shopaholic me would always keep an eye on this wallet whenever I visited LV, ensuring that it was still available.

But today…I was told it was no longer in stock by a staff at LV.

My expression fell.
My heart dropped.
Stopped.

Regret sunk in. If only I…

We were about to leave the store when Mr Yap met another sales staff who remembered him from a previous purchase.

He told us the other staff was mistaken and there was one piece left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another lovely present from Mr Yap. LOVES!



Should I or should I not start using it now?

P.S. Did you notice my new specs too?
