Scratches loves my gadgets

It's not that I'm abusive or anything. I'm very very careful handling my stuff but scratches just loves my gadgets. My iPod Touch, my P1i, PSP, even my Mazda3 all has their fare share of disturbing lines. I give up! 

Barely 24 hours after having my Eee, I noticed a small fine line on the black bezel. So, I tried to wipe it off with my fingers resulting in more lines! 

Based on my last experience of removing scratches using toothpaste, I immediately ran to get a dab of Colgate. Buff it a bit... and tadaaa! Instead of having 5 microscratches, I'm now having this bunch of them which is totally uncountable!!! :(

After a day of usage, I noticed dust started to stick on the bezel, so I went for a duster...guess what?? More scratches were created! It's really becoming unbearable now I don't even dare touch the glossy black bezel. What's up with this thing or is it just me?

Searching on the internet revealed that I can try Lemon Pledge furniture polishing, banana, egg or something called Novus Plastic Polishing system which I don't think is sold in Malaysia. Tried Lemon Pledge which cost RM12.90 but no luck. Ordered Novus costing me close to RM70. If that doesn't work, I might as well give it up. This link (http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=4545) has at least given me a slight glimmer of hope.

The more I jaga, there more scratches these things gets. Let's just hope this doesn't apply to people I sayang too! 

Finally, MY EeePC 1005ha!

I've been researching on a netbook as a companion device for quite sometime and the requirements for me really was long battery life, the keyboard, multitouch trackpad, and hackintoshability. (Yes! I intend to make my netbook dual/triple boot and Mac OSX is definately going to be one of the system.)

This has shortlisted my list down to the EeePC 1000he, 1005ha or the MSI Wind U100. Finally today (20th September 2009) I made the plunge and went for a white 1005ha although I really love the black but it being a fingerprint magnet is far too irritating for me.

To be honest, it was a very close fight between those 3 models and I'm still not very sure if I've made the right one. Well, never try never know and this post is being typed on with my brand new netbook! 1 hour and counting, so far so good :)

Resistance is Futile

Decisions are easy, especially after a round of happy hour... I'm now owning a spanking new classic white pair of Bata Badmiton Master! Hmm... maybe I should dig out my old school uniform to match those shoes!

What was suppose to be RM29.99 became RM59.98 when my sis laid her eyes on a pink pair of plastic Bata! You know what they say - BATA - Buy and throw away. Let's just hope that's not true.

And now, I was given a RM5 discount voucher for my next purchase. How ar? Buy more and throw away shall I? :p

I created new recipe!

What you'll need:
- lil furry balls that's green on the inside aka kiwi
- square piece of yellow stuff aka cheese

How to make:
- cut lil furry balls in half
- scoop out green stuff and place it on the yellow square piece
- wrap it up in either 'wantan' style or 'currypuff' style

Congrats! You've just made your self a Cheeewi^tm!

Blast from the Past

Funny how things happen to me on 31st Aug and how that makes 31st Aug a special for me when memories - both sweet and sour visit me. I look forward to each of their visits as they are parts of me no matter how deep they are buried in my mind, for I'm sure they will resurface, and this time around, I'll put them down in writing!

That's right! No more hide and seek now. Hah!
**ahem** Of cuz, the more personal ones will be kept in a safe place after all, everyone has their own dirty lil secrets ;)

31st Aug 2009.
Blast from the past number 1: Lat
I grew up with these dude! Long long time ago, I used to dream of becoming a cartoonist or an artist of some sort. Things changed but I'm still very much into creative/art kinda business. Back when I was in primary school, two of my favorite reads were Lat's Kampung Boy and Town Boy. Wonder if they are still hiding in my house somewhere... hmmm...

Anyways, this was actually triggered after reading my sister's blog. Didn't know that Lat has an exhibition and TODAY IS THE LAST DAY! Lucky I still manage to drop by.

Blast from the past number 2: Bata Badminton Master.
Lately I've developed a fond interest in old school sports shoes. Think Converse, cept that, the ones I'm fond of are those from China. Namely HuiLi (Warrior in English) and FeiYue. Both shoes are making a comeback (at least that's what I feel laaa) especially FeiYue which has caused quite a stir in European fashion - even Orlando Bloom was spotted wearing them.
One of my primary objective in my recent trip to China was to get myself a pair of FeiYue and HuiLi. Unfotunately, I only managed HuiLi and that was after visiting like over 30 shoe stalls/shops! Maybe because both brands originated from ShangHai and I was in ShenZhen.

Back to the main topic - Badminton Master! I stumbled upon http://www.badmintonmaster.com.my/ while looking around for old school sports shoes and boy I was hyped! Despite all the online contest I've came across as well as those I've conceived, this is the one that I really wanted to enter! Unforutnately, I found out bout this one ONE YEAR after the contest has ended.

That didn't stop me from going to the nearest Bata shop to check it out. In my hands, it's still the ugly pair of shoes which I refused to pick while I was in primary/secondary school. This time around however, they look nice being as ugly as I remembered :p

Reluctantly, I put it down and walked off cuz I've simply got far too many pair of new shoes which I've bought and has not worn. I've got shoes that can fight with girls so dun mess! Besides, I don't think it's appropriate wearing something that ugly to work (or play). If it's a pair of BM2000 Turbo (my fav in primary school days) it would probably be a very much different story!

Other blast from the past are too personal to put up here.

I'm proud. Not bad for a first post to my brand new blog huh? :)
