I got my new home speaker from Bang & Olufsen (B&O) in March 2026 and have been spoilt by awesome sound and music quality ever since. I found myself always want to stay at home to enjoy the music because my headphones (Bose NC700) just does not do my music justice anymore.

So I got myself a new headphones – Bowers & Wilkins (B&W) Px8 S2. Sound quality is really good which is a given since it is B&W. At least B&W is of a lower price tag (S$999 – I paid lower since there are some discounts) than B&O equivalents (S$2500).

My home speaker – Beolab 8 is priced at S$5475 but I got a bit of discount so I paid lower.

Overall, I paid $5201.25 for my Beolab 8 and S$869 for Px8 S2. After I got my Px8 S2, I went to get my bubble tea and I got the queue number 88. That’s when I realised both my home speaker and my main headphone have “8” in their model number. Hahaha. 88 is also an angel number which means financial abundance, material success and karmic rewards. In addition, I also have Bose in my audio equipment brands so that’s like 3 Bs in the brands that I use. B looks like 8 too. Hahaha. I wasn’t planning for all these coincidences. It’s just that I have been using Bose and B&O ever since I started work and started earning my own money. Obviously I am quite loyal to brands that work well consistently.

I might be slightly over 6k poorer in my wallet but I am definitely way happier than 6k. The cost per use are pretty high since I use them daily. 😀

I’m so tempted to set up a full music production room in future. Just look at the video above. I can play the violin and also do a bit of music production. I kind of want to go learn the piano/keyboard too. I definitely can sing for sure. 🙂

I’m still debating if I want to have 1 more table to put my hobby related stuff like jewellery making or keyboard. However, I need to make it easy to move because I need to move it when aircon service guys needs to access the aircon condenser unit outside though. I also want to start thinking if I want a place where I can invite my friends over to play music together. Hmm. So many possibilities and decisions to make!

It’s one of my favourite Japanese songs till date. Seeing this video is making me very tempted to get a white keyboard/piano for myself. Well, I’m not too sure if I have space though… I do need to start piano classes if I get it though. I still haven’t clear my violin diploma exam yet. Hmm.

Hmm, should I try playing it on violin? Not sure if I want to record myself playing it though… Hmm.

Some funny conversations I had with my violin teacher, Mrs Masako, today…

“When the pieces get too difficult, you might want to throw your instrument into Singapore River… or throw yourself into the river…… Actually throwing the piece/book is more economical.“

“You are playing your own version of XXX piece.”

“You really should record yourself and listen to it.”

Okay, all these means I really should start practising more and training for my stamina for the exam. 30 mins of nonstop playing is no joke. :/

I also realised I should not wear linen shorts to class. It’s aircon environment and I will feel nice and cosy and sleepy while playing the pieces. Goodness! I slept 10 hrs today and I’m not supposed to feel sleepy now. Singapore is too hot though but indoors is like a bit too cold and comfortable. Nevertheless, I still love my pink linen shorts. Looks so feminine and comfortable. Only problem is that linen is kind of expensive and always look crumble. :/

Note to self to buy a steamer iron in future. Lol.

Yes, I am counting the little blessings that I manage to sleep for 10 hrs (not continuous though) today.
