Purpose-made stand for dips (~800 ringgit)

Purpose-made is not the same as custom-made. I saw one for RM 799 at Fitness Concept. Kinda expensive. I tried using the crossbars at the top of my power rack as a dip station, but it looked like a long fall in case anything happened. So for now, it will remain a wish. Besides, my apartment looks too much like a gym now with my 9' tall power rack. Adding a dip station will make it look like I live in a gym.

Anything but fit. Skinny is more like it. I just got serious. I haven't yet put the infrastructure together to post pictures. But even with my own home gym, I work out no more often than what Rippetoe prescribes, i.e. 3X a week.

A bench that turns into something like a chair? "One-on-one trainer" at Fitness Concept Mid-Valley RM 320 with free gloves.

Sure the one-on-one trainer is a flawed product. But look at it this way: I have a bench and you don't. You can hold out till the enlightened folks at Fitness Concept realize that their customers are better served if they'd start stocking their showrooms with sturdy benches, power racks, a full range of weight plates and olympic bars instead of overpriced programmable threadmills. When that day comes (if it comes), I'd have gained 20 kg and have a nice chest to show for it.

BTW ezone, are you Malaysian? You used the word "netter". That's German for "nicer".

that question was answered on page 1 of this thread

fitness concept or aibi mid valley by special order.
