May 23, 2009 — Philips, Philips radio, Philips warehouse sale, Toa Payoh

Since I do not drive here in Singapore, I must admit I am not as updated with the latest tunes as when I was back in Manila. The long drive to work and back home (thanks to my patient driver) and the traffic that made my journey colorful allowed me to listen to the radio for at least one hour. 

It was troublesome to transfer the radio from my living room to the bedroom frequently so that left me listening to purchased CDs often instead. Hmm.. this means I’m rather behind radio music by almost three years. Thank God that I frequent a bar with a live band that plays Top 40′s so in a way, I don’t feel so miserable.

When I got an email from Philips promoting their annual warehouse sale this weekend, I didn’t waste time to scout for a decently-sized radio that would be a welcome addition to my gadgets and gizmos on my desk (I have two laptops, a printer, a scanner, a portable DVD, MP3 player — all neatly and strategically placed within striking distance).

Here’s what I found during the warehouse sale — reasonably priced, small enough, but powerful enough to have 5 preset stations which I have now configured to Mediacorp stations — Gold 90.5, Class 95, 98.7, Lush 99.5, Yes 93.3. 

It’s now up and running and I’m back on track when it comes to knowing the latest and reminiscing the past. It’s now playing “Look Away” by Chicago… which I sing at KTV sometimes. Sad sad.
