Right now at KLIA. Heading off to China for a much needed break with Ariel and my parents. We’ve visited modern Beijing and Shanghai December last year. This time we’re off to Yunnan and Shangri-la for a cultural visit.
Not sure what to expect and honestly worried with all the floods I’ve been hearing. But I guess a little water wouldn’t hurt.
Well, I’ll sign off now and start my official holiday time.
It’s the weekend and I really needed to sit back today. What better way than to get some shopping therapy from my close-by computer shop. Dropped in morning to pick up my promise media player.

I’ve been wanting to get myself a media player since 2-3 months ago. And had the decision between this and another sold at the Low Yat forums. Differences were mainly price (less than hundred), warranty and support (firmware and service).
I decided to get this in the end because unlike the forum, I get 12-months warranty instead of only 6. And as much as I admire the forumer who produces updated firmwares very timely, the warranty was a turned off. Especially when I’ve not bought this player before.
And besides the player, I ended up buying more stuff. Thank goodness the computer shop is outside my house, somewhat.
I had to replace my ADSL modem which apparently was fried by lighting. Thank you Mother Nature. At the same time, decided to buy myself an AVR.

The AVR is a device to regulate the voltage and take lightning hits. Plus, I’ve known the computer shop owner (and sons) since they’ve been there. So it’s comforting to know, if lightning does kill the AVR, they’ll help me restore it for only RM10. Not bad, I must say.
Shopping therapy tsaiko! 
P.S.: This post was written after I indulged in nearly half a bottle of wine. Whee!
Lately I’ve been hearing a lot about an octopus who’s been guessing the World Cup wins. What’s the world coming to now?!
And they were complaining about other things like:
Well, you’re believing an octopus right now. Aren’t you?

Based on Dell’s warranty checker online, I still have 44 days left for the warranty.
Personally, I feel RM 1,000 is a fair price.
Idiot, seriously
Now I know what kind of bus drivers does the Tropicana City Mall employ.
The ones who think it’s okay to squeeze your large ass body into the lane right at the divider. And it’s still not okay, even if you signaled at the last minute, you doorknob!
