Lookalike Malaysian / Japanese / Korean
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?
My ol shaver; Panasonic National, completely died on me this morning. It’s accompanied me for a good 10 years to say the least. And because of that, why would I want to replace it with any other brand. Thus, after lunch I went shaver hunting with Ariel for this particular model design.

We made visits to Sen Heng in Giant, nearby SS2 and another electronics shop in SS2 itself. All of which either didn’t have the model which I wanted, or didn’t carry Panasonic – only Philips. Phbt.
After walking out empty handed from the electronics store in SS2, I thought of buying the shaver directly online from Panasonic Malaysia since they launched their online store. However, as much as free shipping irregardless of price was a great deal, I couldn’t bear the waiting time from ordering.
Delivery normally takes 5 to 14 working days from the date when the Customer receives a notice of acceptance of the order from PM and the delivery slip need to be signed by the recipient.

If I were a buying a TV, it’d be understandable. However, if I’m going to need it in 2 days, otherwise I’d end up looking like some chiseled bum, purchasing online direct from Panasonic wasn’t an option. Sigh.
So, the other alternative was to try my luck at a different electronics store. One which would have a large variety and would carry various brands. Ariel suggested 1Utama and I took Panasonic’s word for it since their website listed Best Denki as one of the; mass merchandise outlets.
And true enough. When we went there, they had the model I wanted. But I was too itchy fingered to settle on the older design model. In the end, I made a shaver upgrade to try something different, after 10 long years.
I got this model instead.

It’s going to be a little weird shaving tomorrow. Since I’m so used to the 90 degree head. And starting tomorrow, I’m going to have to angle this 90 degrees to shave. Hmm. And oh, I bought this because apparently you can now wash the shaver!
LOL! I know I damn jakun. It’s been 10 years, okay!
But besides the shaver, I decided to not waste time driving to 1Utama and money parking there for only less than 10 minutes. So me and Ariel went to watch Toy Story 3 (not in 3D). But I’ll leave the movie review for tomorrow or another day. 🙂
Monday morning. Stuck in traffic. Staring at the computer screen. Recapping the Germany and England match – though I didn’t watch it. Now thinking, if a relationship between 2 bloggers could work out?
My personal relationship aside – it’s been solid, thanks for asking. I’m thinking about bloggers hooking up, dating then going steady. Can such a relationship work between the 2 bloggers?
Imagine them blogging their relationship for our entertainment. What they did together? What they ate together? Where they holidayed together? How they slept together? Well, you get the idea.
But then, imagine what happens when all hell breaks loose. It’s in any healthy relationship (to me) there’ll be some arguments or dissatisfaction. And when this happens, can the 2 bloggers keep it to themselves and not vent it out on their blog?
Because if it does get out, I think it’s going to be pouring oil on a fire. While you may be relieved to get it off the chest and tell someone (or, everyone) about your feelings, your other partner may be taking it the wrong way.
Well, hey, Internet dating works. But it garners much more responsibility and maturity. We don’t want to end up saying this later, “that f*cking bitch or bastard un-friend me in Facebook!”
