Bleecker Street in New York

Scenes around Bleecker street in NY:

Wonder whether this Records shop is still there?

There are several Marc Jacobs store around this area.  This one I think is the one that sells those cheap shirts, backpack, belts, etc. from like US$10 or something...

This is where you can find what's on sale:

I think this is a Little Marc Jacobs store for my kids:

A New Order Vinyl record.  New Order is my all time favorite band.

Panerai and Sylvester Stallone

Posting a story from the LA Times about the story how Sylvester Stallone supposedly made Panerai famous in the mid-90's after the brand was made available to the public in 1993 after exclusively manufacturing for the Italian navy.  He supposedly bought limited edition Panerais and distributed them to the crew at that time and they are now worth thousands of dollars!!

Sennheiser RS120

Bought this because ever since I had young kids, I was never able to watch films past the bed time of my children.  Now I can turn all turn the volumes of action movies to full blast even after midnight !!!

3D TV and Blu ray movies

Decided to part with our very, very old plasma TV (over 5 years old!!!) - promised myself not to be swayed by the salesman to buy a 3D TV as I don't think it is necessary at this point.

But as expected, I'm a sucker for technology still ended up with a 3D TV Samsung 6 Series Smart TV:

No regrets though as it's an excellent 3D TV.  My wife and kids love it. 

So far we have all the Shrek series that came free with it.  Then we bought 3D blu ray titles from Amazon like Alice in Wonderland, Tron, Gnome and Juliet.

We'll see whether 3D will take off but Blu ray alone is great technology.  It's good to see it's becoming more and more affordable.

We have 'movie nights' with our kids at home which is great bonding time with them.  Moments we will treasure and we take advantage and when they are still young.
Funny thing was on the 1st weekend my daughter sat on one of the 3D glasses!!!!!! Waaaaaah - see the results below:

Little Tykes

My daughters have outgrown these Little Tykes...we have decided to donate them in our condo playground.

Cool School

My daughter is only in the low primary grade but this is what her school looks like:

PAM 112 on Gunny BB Black Strap PVD Buckle

Here is my PAM 112 on a Gunny BB Black strap with Double Ecru stitching and sewn in PVD buckle.

Again, I had my initials etched at the back of the strap making this really special and truly personalized.

Notice the trademark thick but soft strap.

Gunny straps are highly, higly recommeneded.  The 10-week wait is worth it!

MY INITIALS STAMPED ON THE STRAP:
