CD-Plus

Author: CCW  //  Category: This Wonderful Town

We only have one store .. that carries new cds in town.. and of course they do carry movies .. and games at one point of time. Today a customer came in to tell us that CD-Plus .. no longer order games for customers anymore. Reason unknown of course.

It is kinda sad.. and kinda weird.. for me anyways.. especially when i come from a place where even HDB flats compound sells music CDs.. and every shopping center has at least one CD shop in it.. if not more. I know I lived in a very small town, but as you can see, folks do buy stuff from big companies like CD-Plus. CD-Plus is one of those chain store around Canada .. and bought over by Entertainment One..?? And as far as I can see it.. it has gone downhill ever since.

I do like this mini frame pouch.. it almost looks like the one i got from Tokyo a long time ago.. but this one is for $22 .. a wee bit ex.. for my liking. The material was imported from Japan.. 100% cotton. The one that I had bought in Japan was only $5.00 .. and it was girly in color.. pinkish orangey. As much as I would like to have it.. I wouldn’t buy it.. but if you like it.. and want to buy it.. go to Etsy.

Garage Floors

Our old store at Central Street is actually originally a garage..that we had turned into a store.. for the last 4 years. We’ve asked the landlord to help by renovating the place to give it a more decent look.. .but because it is a concrete flooring, there was just not much we can do for the garage floors. It isn’t a new flooring i am sure.. and I’ve often wonder what can be done besides painting over it.. as tiles can be quite expensive for a 4000sq ft store. Perhaps the car guy garage have a solution.. like coating the garage floor with epoxy, which is affordable and last for years without any problems for painting over it that we’ve tried .. only last a few months.. and then the floor paint started fading again in patches.. making the floor at the store even worst looking… than before.
