The Perfect x Imperfection

by Kiyoko Yasuda

I had a chat with a friend recently and I thought of something and I wanted to share it with everyone
(my friend said I should too... 
so here it is!)


...


I know in life everyone goes through their ups and downs.
It can be ANYTHING from...
love
friendship
school
work
family

and the list goes on!!

So as the title of this post says...
life is like...a basketball (game)!
(image from here ) 
There are times when we think we make the wrong choice (or move)
that can lead to the opponent taking us off-guard.

BUT!!!
In life we never make a 'wrong' choice,
but it's what you make of it! 
Change your game plan or strategy!
NEVER GIVE UP!!!
Or think there's no hope!!!!


BECAUSE LET ME QUOTE THE GREAT ANZAI SENSEI
FROM THE AWESOME BASKETBALL ANIME 'SLAM DUNK'
(image from here)

I'm writing this post right now and...

I HONESTLY CAN'T BELIEVE 2012 HAS  (since it's already past 12) ENDED!!!

Like what you see in the video? This is just a preview of what happened during the AKG, JBL & Harman Kardon event a while back!


Here's Yingming (closet Swiftie - woohooo!!!) who gave us an introduction to the Harman brands!
Harman has earned 144 design awards! Amazing right?! In just 2015, Harman has won the Red Dot Design, IF Design Awards, and CES Innovation Awards!! 


JBL is all about PASSION - sound that amplifies life. For more than 60 years, JBL has delivered products that's ergonomically user friendly with interesting & unexpected details. 
It's perfect for tech savvy, busy, and spontaneous people because it has a wide range of products that's perfect for any location and situation! Whether it's at home, outside, in the car, boat, or at a BBQ - JBL has a product that's catered to your needs.

This brand is about GRACE - producing pure, realistic sound. It's perfect for settled families or professionals who have the taste of quality over quantity. For more than 50 years, Harman Kardon has been delivering a world-class experience with products using premium material that looks beautiful, sophisticated, and chic.

AKG is about - CREATIVITY. Born in Vienna, Austria - it incorporates the Scandinavian design which is all about being functional, simple and bold, it releases one's creative spirit. AKG is loved by artists like Kanye West, Frank Sinatra, Missy Elliott, and Madonna. 

If you're serious about music - AKG is the brand for you!




Now it's time for the fun part!!
Introducing the products!!!!
It's so colorful~ I love it!


JBL Clip Plus (SGD $99)
This small, portable speaker can be easily clipped onto a handbag, bagpack, or your pants! It's great for your daily life and for outdoor activities! 

Say hello to Andy! He explained and demonstrated all the product!  


JBL Flip III (SGD $179)
This is an all-purpose speaker that's perfect for the outdoors! Just like the other speakers in the JBL range, the Flip III is also splash-proof! Just connect to to your music device by bluetooth and enjoy! 

Andy demonstrated how shockproof the speakers were by...
Dropping a few on the floor!!! I honestly got the shock of my life because I'm still traumatized from a recent drop accident. My new camera committed suicide by falling off the table and I had to get it fixed. (இдஇ; )

ANYWAYS! The speakers were fine and I'm sure I wasn't the only one that was impressed.


JBL Charge II Plus SGD $279
This baby isn't just a speaker but it can charge your music device (or phone) too!!! 
It can support up to 12 hours of playtime and charge multiple devices.

This is GREAT for long trips, BBQs, and poolside parties!


JBL Extreme (SGD $439)
Were you impressed with the Charge II Plus? This baby supports up to 15hours of play time and charges 

It comes with a strap so that it's easy to carry around.



JBL Pulse (SGD $329)
THIS WAS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE PRODUCT! Very biased... I know because it's so pretty! The colorful LED lights blink in tune to the music and you can also change the colors too! 

I honestly can't get enough of this beauty... *grabby hands*


N90Q SGD $2199
Inspired by the Grammy Award winning Quincy Jones, comes the N90Q - the most accurate sounding headphones in the world today. It can even measure the shape of your ears for a high end, faithful and precise sound reproduction.

There's two colors available: black and the limited edition gold and black (the one that we got to play around with!)
Maarten (it's his first time in Singapore!!) gave us a demonstration and explained the features of the N90Q!

Can't get over how pretty it is... (゚¬゚) 




After the event...
Photobooth time!!! Hello props! ─=≡Σ((( つ•̀ω•́)つ *grabs the blue headphones*

With Rosental! Aren't the headphones super cute?!
We met at the Panasonic event previously and it was an unforgettable moment in the lift LOL!! 

I also met Lydia! My goodness her IG photos are EPIC! She had a cupcake in her hand and I found out that she came to the event on her birthday! 




At the event we were given a special gift that was hand-selected for each one of us who attend the event! Super sweet of them right?
I was so happy to see the blue headphones because blue is my favorite color  (੭ु ›ω‹ )੭ु⁾⁾♡
As for the Y23 earphones I gave it to the kareshi because he needed new earphones!

Hello my new baby! (ღ✪v✪)
I've been using it for a while now and I love how it fits perfectly on my head and the music sounds amazing ♪ Super tempted to get a wireless headphone now too...
