In a world of my own

Recently, instead of buying clothes and stuff, I've been buying more CDs and VCDs/DVDs.

About a week ago, I bought the David Archuleta CD. Something that I've been anticipating ever since American Idol ended in May. The CD.... was rather disappointing I would say. There was no song that really caught my attention. I only listened through the entire CD once and while doing that, I was playing games. Maybe that was why, but still, none of the songs made me stop what I was doing. In general, the songs sounded almost alike to one another. It's his kind of style, but I would expect at least a few songs that would sound somewhat different. Hmmmmm, I think I better try to listen to it one more time.

There was this crazy Gramophone sale over the weekends at The Cathay and I decided to just drop by on Sunday to see what I could pick up. When I reached The Cathay,there was this area outside that was selling quite a number of DVDs and VCDs, movies and dramas alike. I thought it was crap man, because in the advertisement on the newspapers, they gave the impression that there was tons of items on sale at super cheap prices. All I picked up from there was a drama serial 食神. Picked it up because it featured 王仁甫, someone whom I used to enjoy watching on TV and the DVD was only $10 with 30 episodes.

What I didn't expect was that there was more than just the area outside. Inside Gramophone itself, there were really tons of items going at great prices! CDs started at $1.50. It was so tempting. I decided to source out some old Westlife CDs. There was Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC and any boy band that you could think of from that century, but I just couldn't find any Westlife. Was rather upset! Spent 2 hours in that shop. There were just so many CDs, VCDs, DVDs and even books on sale. However, I only picked up these two: A Classic Disney Volume V CD (nope, haven't heard the entire CD yet) at the price of $9.95 and a 花田少年史 Volume 2 VCD with 12 episodes for only $3.95. Kinda like the 花田少年史. It's an Anime show. For a non-anime fan like me, the show is a real enjoyment! =)

Well, off to watch the 花田少年史!
