The next regular series of the PIKOM PC Fair 2010 (II) will be held at the usual venue: Persada Johor Bahru, from 9th Jul – 11th Jul 2010.
Besides laptops and netbooks going on sale, you can expect an increase in OEM printer ink sales. Recently, OEM manufacturers had began to sell not only OEM printer inks, but also resorted to modifying printers to extend print cartridge into the external of the printer for easy refills. It remains to be seen whether such manufacturers will sell such printers outright in PC fairs such as PIKOM.
Refer to the image below for the full schedule of PIKOM PC Fair in Malaysia.

Located just outside the Larkin Stadium, there are rows of open-air stalls selling local produces. The official name of this area is called “Pasar Tani Larkin” – or Larkin Farmers Market. The area gets crowded during Saturdays, when shoppers come here for grocery shopping.
If you want to cook some beef over the weekend, this is the place you should come to – and you should come very early. The beef here are really FRESH and gets sold out by 8.30am. Besides coming early, you might want to smile gently at the shop-owners as well, as most of the premium beef are actually reserved for regulars and she might not be willing to sell to you in the first place! At RM$23.00/kg, it is worth every cent and you can actually see many Singapore-Registered cars parked here – some actually travel all the way from Singapore to make purchases here.

It started innocently enough. I was with my wife at Kiddy Palace at Marina Square with my 6 months old baby girl. All of a sudden, my baby girl giggled. GIGGLED. We were surprised at her reaction because she was really smiling widely. After pondering for a while, my wife and myself realised that this is attributed to the song that was playing in the store – “Doe a Deer”. A common children song but effective enough to get my girl laughing.
Resolved to get that CD that is playing (with a mind to play it for every car journey so that my baby girl can behave), I was taken aback by the price – a cool S$49.90 for a box of 5 CDs, all children songs. Not that I can’t afford it, but I think the price is slightly on the high side. Suddenly, a bright idea came to my mind. I had read from Limsimi.com that Holiday Plaza, in Johor Bahru sells “nice” DVDs, VCD and CDs with MP3s. With at least 80% discount. I decided to drive into JB the same weekend to get my hands on those CDs.

Saturday morning came. In my Honda Civic sits myself, my wife and my girl girl. We drove in at 9.30am and Read on…
