3E Electronics 25 years on

Sometimes, it is sad to come back to a place which brings a lot of memories. Not because I am sentimental but when one just happens to be there, memories would start flowing back to you. Take for example, this shop which is located on the top floor of Ampang Park. In the eighties to the nineties, it was the best place for electronic stuff at this part of town.

At that time, there were three locations which I usually frequent; Kwong Tung building, Sungei Wang and Ampang Park. Initially, it 3E started out with electronics, which sells electronic components and project kits. Being a member of the school's Electronics Club I tend to go to these places as often as my Parents could take me. A decade later, they ventured into computers, which was where I got my Apple II clone.

But come late 90's and after the Millenium, they have all but disappeared. I have many times wondered where they have gone but there are no leads at all.

Alas, this is not 3E but another shop selling
electronics stuff. A year ago, this shop was
still operating and I got fleeced for some
components which we needed. The again,
it was an emergency.
