Rather buy online no need to carry home. Don’t like to talk to salesman who will try to get you buy other products.

I still go there buy parts for my custom made PC. Unlike 25 yrs ago where I will mod my PC. Now is can use will do liao.

Yap... Lots of shops closure over the yrs. 6th floor overtaken by those KTV.

Given the nostalgic of that place since childhood time where I went there buy pirates CDs, I will still go there every now and then until the last bricks of SLS has been demolished then I call it a day.
