It's the final day of the Swee Lee sale & I managed to grab some worthy strings. There are some D'Addarios in there but majority of the haul are Harmony strings. You might not have heard this brand name but they are there in the history of guitars & all things related. They don't do much contemporary stuff & only your Dads or Granddads might know who they are. That aside, they make good, affordable strings.
Do you often drop by the Katong branch? Not so for me because it's out of the way; I'm from the West & this outlet is in the East. It's almost an end-to-end travel but if there's something worthy to check out, I'd gladly make effort to get there. The store's also a cozy corner with ambient lighting & I certainly enjoyed the less crowded atmosphere (especially on weekdays) & always took the opportunity to talk to the staff. More importantly, being in the Katong neighbourhood means making my way to the food center across the main road to enjoy a Mee Rebus quickie & a wonderful, warm serving of Cheng Tng. With the departure of Swee Lee, my trip to Katong would be few & far between. Thank you to store manager, Mr. Faizal & his motley crew, for the memories; my every trip there was worth it.
You know, it's testing times with the Covid-19 situation in the mean time. Stringent temperature screenings are in place in many venues. In the name of the greater good, please adhere/ comply to the requirements. If you are offended by the intrusion of these temperature checks, I'd suggest you stay home & make online shopping do your bidding. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Swee Lee Katong team who braved the insolent, foul-mouthed individuals at the store entrance for refusing to comply with the temperature screening & hand sanitizing exercise. It's a quick one at the door & you're free to enter the premises but your darn ego chose to make it difficult for yourselves & others. You know who you are, you belong in the gutters & should not mingle with society.
On that note, have a good week ahead, everyone - stay vigilant & virus-free. 👍

Witnessed a disgusting man being disgruntled about the staff "wasting his time", when it was much quicker to just give them a few seconds to let them take his temperature, than spend those few minutes arguing.
third world entitled mentality.
Morons, definitely. These people think they are a class above but they are way down there.
