No love lost la.
Go there blow aircon nia won't buy anything there cos too expensive fr same thing can get at mph.
Mph still cheaper back then when bookstore still a popular thing to hang out at.
Tower heeren sembayang Dada supreme attic musik stores all these close why no 1 hao lum??
Buyed many things from these places then.
Mix tapes then bootleg imports when still tapes era.
Then cd come hmv tower fight each other. Can spend 1 weekend at tower hmv listen to all the cd tranches before decide which to buy back.
Thats when audio speaker system still a fad

Attic at centrepoint? Uncle look fierce but is actually a nice person. He appeared in the news for quarrelling with neighbour. Think he passed on liao. Used to work part time at Centrepoint and he gave me free posters of bands, I din even buy anything from him
There was another CD shop, used to be at Funan then moved to Excelsior shopping centre. Owned by 2 bros, 1 of them quite sissy like that....forgot the name of the shop
