my new toy - ipod nano 8GB (black)

Since my previous ipod can't function anymore.. so I have to look for another one.. I used ipod everyday when I am travel to work, running in the gym, travel around over the weekend.. so it has been part of my daily life.. so I must replaced one as soon as I can..

Visited the apple website and they have launched the 4th generation of nano somewhere beginning of last month.. it came out with 8GB and 16GB, and there are 8 colors available.. some of the colors like purple, orange and green are too outstanding for me.. definitely not my cup of tea.. from the website, I would prefer the black one which look elegant among all.. haha!!

I visited the ipod outlet and the new nano looks cool to me.. I like nano most because of the size which is easy to carry around especially in the gym.. the new one is even slimmer and lighter then the previous generations.. the price of 8GB is RM599 and for 16GB is RM799.. I would just go for the 8GB because it is still within my budget and I don't think I need that big capacity because my main purpose for ipod is for listening songs and not watching video or others.. so finally I got my new ipod..

One interesting thing about the new ipod is.. whenever I rotate the ipod while viewing photos, the photo will rotate automatically as well.. cool ha!! and the panel is much bigger then the previous one which is nice for viewing photos and videos.. anyway I am happy with my new ipod and I will take good care of it..

my new toy - Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520

I have decided to get a new digital camera before my trip to Siem Reap.. didn't really go survey for the brand because I known what brand I wanna get.. just asked the price from two shops for comparison..

Finally I got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX500/520 .. I heard few good feed backs from friends about their Panasonic Lumix camera and even the photos taken from their camera turn up nicely too.. even the fellow in the camera shop who I known her also recommend Panasonic Lumix because of the Leica Len used for the camera..

The package that I paid for the camera come with a 2G Panasonic card and a mini tripod (really mini size..), a year international warranty and two years local warranty from the shop.. I still haven't really have chance to play with the camera and snap some photos, because nothing special for me to snap.. but so far I am quite happy with the touch screen LCD feature which is cool..!!

Key Features:
- 3.0" Touch Screen LCD - Easy and Intuative operation
- 10.1 Megapixel Camera for high quality images
- Touch AF/AE & Auto Tracking - A Focus Frame Opens on the Spot you touch. If the subject touched on the LCD moves, the camera automatically tracks it and adjusts focus & exposure.
- 25mm LEICA DC VARIO-ELMARIT LENS with 5x Optical Zoom
- Intelligent Auto Mode - Includes Mega O.I.S, Intelligent ISO, Face Detection & Intelligent Scene Selector

My new watch (finally decide to get it..!)

I have been thinking to get a new watch lately due to my previous seiko's watch has broken somewhere last time.. for time being i am wearing a casio old watch, which i found the size seem like a bit small for my hand(is it my hand grown bigger..?? haha..)

I have surveyed around to find my new watch.. what in my mind is either to get a seiko (again, i always like seiko, the design is quite cool and the price is within my budget..) or a tissot (have aim for this brand bcuz it is swiss make watch, cool design as well but slightly over my budget..) this time.. after the survey.. mmm.. i can't find any design i like for both brands.. the design of seiko are ok but getting a bit bored, nothing so attractive for me.. for the tissot, the design for the price of below RM1,300 are not really nice, and if u wanna take the nice design then have to pay more then this amount..

One day i have stepped in one of the watches shop in KLCC and i saw this Victorinox Swiss Army watch which really attracted me, when i saw the price... OMG!!!! it is double of my budget.. but anyway i still put it on my hand and try, it really look nice on me.. even my frens said that too.. WOW!! definitely i love to have that but with the price, i have no choice but have to hold back.. the lady in the shop gave me quite good discount after bargained with her.. but even after the discount price i still feel 'heart pain' to pay for it.. so she gave me her name card and ask me to go home and consider.. well.. i left the shop but my mind keep on thinking the watch for the next few days..

I went to survey the same watch in another shop, but still the lady in KLCC gave me the best price, and after think and think and think and thinkkkkkk... for almost a week, finally i decided to buy it.. i went back to the shop in KLCC to find the lady and buy it, she even gave me extra RM20 discount at last.. well finally i got it!! YEAH..!!

The watch i bought is Victorinox Swiss Army Chrono Classic, for more information about the watch, go check it out here http://www.swissarmy.com/Timepieces/Pages/Product.aspx?category=chrono+classic&product=241148&

Edifier iF330 speaker (for iPod)

I have been thinking of getting myself a portable speaker for my ipod sometime ago, but juz didn't really make up my mind to survey for any brand.. lately the mood is coming back again, so this time I have done research on the web and asking opinion from one of my fren who are working with computer portable products.. he suggested a brand 'Altec Lansing', it seems like a good product but the price is quite expensive (my budget is something around RM300+), there is a model from 'Altec Lansing' where the price is around my budget but I juz don't like the design..

I went to survey the brand and price in Low Yat, in fact there is no much choices.. it seems like not a really popular product.. finally I found this one - 'Edifier iF330 speaker'.. the design of the speaker is quite nice and I like it in white color, it might be a bit large for a portable speaker but I don't really care for the size bcuz I will put it at home and the chances of bringing it to travel is quite rare.. I tried the sound quality and it turns up quite nice and reasonable for the price I paid.. there is a docking drawer where to insert the ipod and while playing the songs at the same time the ipod is being charged.. So without thinking too much, I bought it..

I have played the speaker on the weekend and so far I have no complain for the sounds with different type of music, rock! pop! jazz! alternative..!! If you think of getting a portable speaker for your ipod, you may consider this one, worth for the money you paid..

My favorite ROBOT..

This is the ROBOT that will cost me RM1500.. still under consideration stage.. should I?? so confusing.. aiks...


This is TAKE ME HIGHER!!! collections.. enchanting rockets, flying saucers and glittering space robots, but my favorite still the ROBOT!!

Is it cute?? YES!! IT IS VERY CUTE..!! I have noticed this robot for a while in Thomas Sabo jewellery outlet in pavilion.. I know definitely it is not cheap based on the unique design of the robot and the location of the shop.. so i just don't bother to walk in and ask the price..

I have told my two girl frens about the robot and they are quite interested to have a look, they found that the robot is unique and cute as well.. so one of them said she will walk in and ask the price of the robot for me and make me 'die heart' (in cantonese..) haha!! so finally we went into the shop and guess what.. jeng! jeng!.. just the robot itself cost RM938.. not include the necklace.. if together with the necklace and the small ring hang the robot, everything will cost me about RM1500.. Wow!! expensive ha!! although it is expensive but my mind still can't stop thinking of it.. haha!! anyway i am not sure yet whether i will get it later or not but definitely not now.. by the way this collection is 'take me higher!!'..

'TAKE ME HIGHER!!' >> Finally THOMAS SABO has succeeded in cracking NASA’s monopoly: Teflon-coated titanium is out; Sterling Silver with zirconia is in. Finally, this marks the designer label’s entry into orbit from spring 2008 on: small, enchanting rockets, flying saucers and glittering space robots will all enrich Planet Fashion. With their retro look, the new items of jewellery are reminiscent of all those fascinating toys from the 1950s and guarantee a spacey-elegant touch for any outfit in a totally weightless way. The unidentified, fascinating objects will be landing at stores from January 2008 – certain to soon conquer the hearts of all lovers of unusual, fashionable jewellery the world over.

Guess what?? my two girl frens have fall in love with the necklace and bracelet.. those designs are unique bit on the other hand there are quite expensive too.. so we all still 'on hold' and so far none of us decide to buy anything from the shop yet.. let's see who are the one can't control first and go to get our very first Thomas Sabo's collection.. haha!!

my watch is cracked... than.. broken

wednesday morning (17/10/07), 7am.. my morning alarm activated and usually I will take my watch which I put next to my pillow to read the time.. oppsss.... this morning I have accidentally dropped my watch on the floor.. OMG!! the glass is cracked but luckly it is still functioning... I feel damn unhappy because it is early in the morning and I have to rush to work... arghhhhh!!!!! but on the other hand, I feel slightly better when I known it is still functionaing...

the sad moment not yet come... when I read the time in my watch later, I noticed that it is stop... not moving.. OMG!! it is broken... since it is an automatic watch (without battery) and I am sure I have to pay a lot if I send it to repair.. sigh...

I have wear it everyday since I got it as my birthday present 3 years ago... and now.. I have to keep it inside a box and find a day to send it to shop and ask for repair.. just hope that it can be fixed and more importantly hope it won't cost me a lot... SAD :-(
