A notable message from the loo…Part 3

From my previous post here and here, this is another message about smoking. But this time, the photo is taken in the women’s restroom (not by me, but using my camera) at Sunway Pyramid.

How Lucky is your Charger?

I was at my usual haunt at Sunway Pyramid when suddenly my Nokia E5 runs out of juice. It’s either going back to the carpark and charge the battery in the car (via the in-car charger) or use one of these Lucky Chargers.

How lucky are you?

Now you can charge your mobile at shopping malls. But so far I only saw the instant chargers at Sunway Pyramid, and no where else. Nice to have the facility to charge your power hungry state-of-the-art mobile phones.

Choose one, please...

It’s very easy to use. Select any charger, slot in your coins and wait for your phone to be charged! But remember to stay near the chargers while your phone is being charged, or else when the slot opens and you’re not around, your expensive phone will be in somebody else’s pocket.

Not too sure whether the chargers are able to accept all kind of phones, but it charged my E5 with no problem at all.

The chargers are made in Korea by a company called Geonas Co Ltd. According to their product description:

Parking at Sunway Pyramid

Ever since Sunway Pyramid was refurbished and added a new building, parking there was always a joy. I haven’t encountered any of the parking woes I had before this (which is due to the lack of parking spaces).

Now they added a new parking indicator which informs would-be-parkers where to park and how many parking spaces are left.

 

Bright LED display

MidValley Megamall deployed the same kind of system but with a different twist. They just put the LED signage outside of the shopping complex. This makes shoppers who parked there having hard time looking for available spaces, as the system didn’t indicated where the empty parking lots are. Seems like defeating the purpose of the system, really.

 

Green for available, red for not

For what I noticed is, the parking indicator light (located exactly on top of the parking space) will turned to red within 3 seconds once a car parked under it. This will in return informed the main LED signage (the top pic) on how many lots are available.

Anyhow, I love the parking system at Sunway Pyramid!

Skullcandy in Malaysia

Skullcandy in Malaysia

I’ve been looking for some dynamic and not-so-expensive earphones to replace my aging Sony in-ear phones. Brands like Shure, Sennheiser and Sony popped up in mind, but I’m thinking of looking for some other good brands. Been searching till last week, until I found Skullcandy.

Skullcandy in an American brand with icons like Snoop Dogg as its ambassador.

The only place they sell Skullcandy products are in Quiksilver outlets in KL. I’m not very sure about why Quiksilver carries Skullcandy products but they have some in their stores in Sunway Pyramid, Midvalley, KLCC and Pavilion.

I’ve visited the Quiksilver’s store at Sunway Pyramid and they do have some models available, like Titan, Asym and Ink’d. They even have a special custom-made rack to house all the phones. Nice indeed.

But one thing I don’t like about the whole set-up (here it comes). Quiksilver Malaysia basically locked each earphone to the rack. This makes interested consumer like me facing difficulty to inspect the item. To make things worse, they sticked the pricetag at the back of the packaging. WTF? How am I going to see the farking price? In this another way of forcing consumers to call for the salesperson’s assistance, and thus giving the chance of that particular salesperson to sell more to you, or is it another way of providing the salesperson with chances to make more commissions?

Skullcandy = great, Quiksilver Malaysia = sucks!
