November New Haul

Have always wanted an external HDD, but I don't know which brand I should go for, so during the funding stage, I made a lot of research, checked on written sources on the Net, comparing brand to brand, stalked in  forums and watched countless video reviews.
It actually took me years to sum up my research and buy my first external HDD, call me stingy if you want, but I don't like to hand over my hard-earned cash to the unknown.
I went and bought it (FINALLY!!!) last week @ PC Image Saberkas, asked the salesperson to recommend me the best out of my two choices, let's call them brand T1 and T2 because they both start with "T" in their brand name. The salesperson recommended T1 to me. When asked for reason behind the recommendation, he told me it's a new product. =.=''' Dude, c'mon, who told you the word "NEW" = "GOOD"? At first my heart was set at T1 because it's available in WHITE while T2 is only available in black. But after some on the spot RE-comparison between the T1 and T2, T2 came out, surprisingly, as the one I took home with me.
You might think that "Why go through so much fuss to buy a HDD? How hard can it be to just pick any one of two and pay?" Well, it's pretty hard, you see...T1 is priced at RM229 and comes with just the cable, T2 is RM228 and it comes with a cable and a pouch! Both of them are good, but Mr."Value for $$$" managed to grab my neck and pointed a gun on my forehead as he walked me to the cashier. So I ended up taking T2 home with me, and I am so lovin' it and glad I chose it.
Attached are the pictures, have a quick glimpse, enjoy!

Identity revealed!!! 

It's a Transcend 500GB, for your info. ^^
And MADE IN TAIWAN. (I think T1 is not, period. XD)

For all that bombshells, bye!

Revoltech Danboard Review

As promised, the long-awaited review has arrived. Sorry I took such long time to accomplish such minute task. 
Anyway, it's here! 
Welcome Danboard!
First, let's start with the origin. This is made by "Kaiyodo Revoltech", a Japanese company that specializes in figure and model making. Yes, this is Made in Japan stuff. And that means it's not cheap at all for such small figure (13cm). Found this on a online shop and it is the second last box, the other being bundled with a weird figure for sale as a set. I don't want the other figure, so I took this. I was almost too late to place order, as there are several people who enquired about this just minutes after I had it booked. Phew. Price? Let's keep that a secret, shall we? But, I have to say that I bought it at the right time just before the price went boom, for this item is discontinued, and that means this is limited in number. And I live happily ever after... o.O
Cut the crap, let's go straight into the review.

Front view.
2 circles + 1 triangle = Innocent

 The back of the head, looks just like a box.

Detachable arms.

Legs.

 Body.

Gather all the parts and we are ready to roll!

Insert the legs into the 2 holes at the bottom.
I know, I know, I know I sounded pervert in this, but that's the fact. 囧

Ahhh it can stand!

Fit the arms nice and tight.

Side view.

And we're done! NOT!!!

The "real" finished product.

Front shot.

Side shot.
That little distraction you see there is a switch, I'll save that for later. Tsk.

Rear view, rather plain.

Posing! This is the most extreme pose that it will and can do...

Remember the switch back then? Danboard's darkest secret unveiled!!! Muahahahaha~

Okay it's for the LEDs in the eyes.
They're pre-built, so I can't show them unless I crack the head open, which I will never do. Never, you hear me? NEVER!!!

Coz this is Thriller! I mean Danboard.

Close up shot.

This is how it looks like in the dark.

Danboard tried imitating scene from "The Ring", climbing out from a TV/ Monitor.

Height comparison with a bottle of midget.

With a Pen. And the midget bottle.

Comparison with Bearguy.

Comparison with SD Zaku II.

RAWR~ Talk to the hand!

You, yes you! Give me a coin.

Well, that basically ends my review for this kit, it does come with a head sculpt of the girl Miura, but I don't really bother about it, because I won't swap the boxy head for the human head anyway. Ratings? I will give it 8/10, 2 missing marks for missing articulations, otherwise I am very satisfied with this figure. For all that bombshells, good night!

我累了

一个星期有七天,我把五天给了工作,有时候给六天,那平常的五天里有三天是完完全全的跟工作约会一整天。
我很想大喊:“我很累啊!!!!!!!!”
病了快三个月,到现在都还没好,尤其是咳嗽,还有越来越常来看我的鼻血兄,比从来没拜访过我的大姨妈还要有心哦!
为什么会累?不过就是上班回家罢了嘛!哦不,我的情况可不是那么简单哦!原因在于我打两份工,白天全职,晚上兼职,够屌了吧?所以朋友们,不要怨我为什么还不去找女朋友哦!我知道你们都很关心,可是我的时间全都给了工作,哪来的时间泡妞啊?泡到了也没时间陪,待会人家给我戴上绿帽呢。
累?没关系啊,两份工的收入应该很可观啊!哦不,老实说,我都没存到什么钱,因为整天赶上赶下,消耗的体力也很多,所以我大部分的钱都花在食物上,这也造成了我的裤子越来越紧绷,该死的裤子,俺又没叫你减肥你干嘛自作聪明?
那很简单啊,辞掉一份不就行了?这,就是我现在的打算,辞掉全职还是兼职?我想答案很明确了吧?要准备打信咯!呵呵呵~
自己最近很放空,而且人也沉闷了很多,微笑还是会,但那是职业微笑,完完全全是为了满足工作上的需求,我的内心,其实很空,每天犹如行尸走肉般浪费生命。色即是空,空即是色!四大皆空!哇哈哈哈哈!(我疯了。。。)

Tremor Worsening

My tremor is getting worst, my hands are trembling as I type this.
I have lost control to stop them from trembling around, especially my left hand.
Is this the early symptom of Parkinson's Disease?
If it is, I wonder how much longer can I live?
1 year? 5 years? 10 years?


ryo signing off, too early to say goodbye?
