I have shipped my 360 to my friend over in Singapore to get my 360 fixed. The shipping cost roughly RM 145.00 with return by some courier company. Not the usual Fedup though. Anyway it took only 1 day for it to reach its destination in Singapore. Not bad for my first ever stuff sent by courier.

My 360 get to visit Singapore instead of its owner ... rigghtttt.

Right now I'm on a "puasa" from buying Transformers figures. After the HUGE buying run last month, the only TF purchase I made this month is the RM 211 Bt-06 Corvette Tracks. Other than that no other TF was purchased. It didn't help that my 360 broke down and I have to spend money to repair it.

Maybe next month I'll get 1 or 2 figures, then the following month another 2. Its getting wayyy to expensive to maintain such a hobby.

Another reason why I'm not keen to "invest" in such indulgence is after a msn conversation some time ago. Had a chat with a former school mate of mine and i told her that I spend quite a lot on toys.. i mean TF figures. She was a abit taken aback and said why dun I go out more. Then I pulled her leg by saying why dun she introduced some of her friends to me.

After that she said that i was too obsessed with toys and very unlikely will introduce me to someone since I'm too into toys :P

So I guess from that conversation it proves one thing: Girls dun like boys who are too obsessed with their toys/games/computer/cars/hobby!!!! Note the bold word obsessed. Meaning still can have a toy hobby, but in moderation and have something else to do.

Now I wonder if girls like ppl who are obssessed with girls.....

I have always believe that PC gaming is better. Cheaper games, availability of mods, tried and true controls for games like First Person Shooters & Real Time Strategy, ability to cheat easily, can put in your friend's save game if you give up (never used, but its nice to know you can do it) and free online gaming. ** Yes, I know PC can play ahem games, but nowadays I buy ori and have so far never bought any pirated game ***

Having an Xbox 360 is great and I can tolerate certain things like have to pay to play online if the service is good, but then things like need to PAY to unlock cheats, need to PAY to unlock stuff on the disk (cough cough EA, Chromehounds), cannot mod the game, need to pay for .. everything, even your DISPLAY PICTURE if you want to customize your looks and use a different display picture than the initial ones provided. Imagine paying MSN to use a different picture provided :P

But since it is working fine I can tolerate the above issues since I can still can play the 360 without certain things.

BUT NOW, my 360 is NOT WORKING ANYMORE!!!!! AARRHHGHH!!

I am now contemplating my options the best method to fix it. If it proves too expensive to claim its official warranty I will fix it cheaply then if it dies again I'll leave it for dead. Cheaper to invest in a PS3 or to keep my PC running.

So for those of you thinking of getting a 360, make sure you are in Singapore or have good contacts there or willing to buy a backup. Wait till M'soft release the newer version which is claimed not to die so fast.

Till then, get a PS3 where you can watch blue-ray discs and still be able to play GTA4.

Or just get a PC.

Halo is overrated anyway (for someone who was spoilt by BF2PC, Unreal tournament PC, DOOM 3 PC (Xbox version was simplified) , Dawn of War, HL2, Crysis)

P.S : Forgot to add, it does not come with a wifi antenna. So if you want to connect your 360 to your wifi router you got to fork out RM 300 the 360 wifi adapter, which is PURE GORENG since I can easily get a usb wifi adapter for less than RM 100 if you buy a generic brand and the 360 is designed to only accept is own kind. Oh, PS3 comes with a wifi antenna in built.

I have been contemplating to get the wireless adapter for some time, but always shoot it down due to the ridiculous inflated high cost of it (like our cars here, TAXED to the maX!!!). Now that my 360 is spoil, good havens I didn't buy it.

There is a limit on how much one can spam on an internet forum.

Take for example the Transformers thread on Lowyat.net. Its members are ridiculous spammers. They can post until an entire thread is up in less than 1 week. Mostly picture spams of their collections. Of course there are some posts like "Good morning" or "going to so and so place, will check out TF". But from July 2007 to April 2008 they had gone through from V1 (the first thread) to the current V27. That's right, 27 threads of nothing but transformers: pictures, chit chat etc. Then in between got some out of topic stuff as well.

Mind you, a thread need to reach 2500 posts before a new one is needed.

So much so that the moderators decided to put a stop to the practice coz the other threads in the sub-forum like Gundam, hot Wheels, PVC figures have not even reached their 5th thread yet. Though our TF fan base exploded after the transformers movie, recently it there is more spam posts than last time.

That's why now the thread is a little slower now, but more meaningful posts, instead of the usual picture spam.

Can't blame Lowyat.net staff anyway. I would say it is one of the biggest forums in M'sia, with 100k over members. With so many forums and sub-forums thier servers are bound to fill up quick. And server space and power isn't infinite.
Here's a recap on the amount of Transformers figures I have at the moment:-

  1. Voyager Rescue Ratchet
  2. Deluxe Jazz
  3. Voyager Thundercracker
  4. Deluxe Bonecrusher
  5. Deluxe Brawl,
  6. Takara Voyager Blackout,
  7. LEADER MEGATRON,
  8. LEADER BRAWL ,
  9. Deluxe Barricade,
  10. Takara Deluxe Longarm,
  11. TAKARA LEADER OPTIMUS PRIME,
  12. Deluxe Bumblebee 08,
  13. Deluxe Payload,
  14. Legends Optimus Prime,
  15. Classics Jetfire,
  16. Classics Grimlock,
  17. KO Smokescreen,
  18. KO Grimlock,
  19. KO Dead End,
  20. Alternator Ford GT Mirage,
  21. Legends Ironhide,
  22. Legends Desert Blackout ,
  23. Deluxe Landmine,
  24. Alternator Shockblast,
  25. Alternator Swindle,
  26. Alternator Silverstreak,
  27. Alternator Dead End,
  28. Offroad Ironhide,
  29. Voyager Hasbro Incinerator
  30. Takara Masterpiece Starscream,
  31. Hasbro DVD Masterpiece Optimus Prime (yes, the biggest Optimus Prime there is)
  32. Classics Rodimus (Hot Rod)
Dun ask me how much it all adds up :)

But there is more coming soon:-

  1. Alternator Optimus Prime
  2. Alternator Rumble
  3. Alternator Wheeljack
  4. Binaltech Bluestreak
  5. Binaltech Jazz (movie redeco)
Would be concentrating on Alternators and Binaltechs from now on. The other TF toys are rather... kids toys.

Saw a link to a website called "what your name means" from Lyn.net.

So i type in my name and the result was:-
You entered: **** ** ****

There are 10 letters in your name.
Those 10 letters total to 56
There are 3 vowels and 7 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 11

The characteristics of #11 are: High spiritual plane, intuitive, illumination, idealist, a dreamer.

The expression or destiny for #11:
Your Expression number is 11. The number 11 is the first of the master numbers. It is associated with idealistic concepts and rather spiritual issues. Accordingly, it is a number with potentials that are somewhat more difficult to live up to. You have the capacity to be inspirational, and the ability to lead merely by your own example. An inborn inner strength and awareness can make you an excellent teacher, social worker, philosopher, or advisor. No matter what area of work you pursue, you are very aware and sensitive to the highest sense of your environment. Your intuition is very strong; in fact, many psychic people and those involved in occult studies have the number 11 expression. You possess a good mind with keen analytical ability. Because of this you can probably succeed in most lines of work, however, you will do better and be happier outside of the business world. Oddly enough, even here you generally succeed, owing to your often original and unusual approach. Nonetheless, you are more content working with your ideals, rather than dollars and cents.

The positive aspect of the number 11 expression is an always idealistic attitude. Your thinking is long term, and you are able to grasp the far-reaching effects of actions and plans. You are disappointed by the shortsighted views of many of your contemporaries. You are deeply concerned and supportive of art, music, or of beauty in any form.

The negative attitudes associated with the number 11 expression include a continuous sense of nervous tension; you may be too sensitive and temperamental. You tend to dream a lot and may be more of a dreamer than a doer (err... I really do tend to dream alot :P). Fantasy and reality sometimes become intermingled and you are sometimes very impractical. You tend to want to spread the illumination of your knowledge to others irrespective of their desire or need.

Your Soul Urge number is: 6

A Soul Urge number of 6 means:
With a number 6 Soul Urge, you would like to be appreciated for your ability to handle responsibility. Your home and family are likely to be a strong focus for you, perhaps the strongest focus of your life (true true) . Friendship, love, and affection are high on your list of priorities for a happy life (really true, need gf :( ). You have a lot of diplomatic tendencies in your makeup, as you a able to rectify and balance situations with an innate skill. You like working with people rather than by yourself. It is extremely important for you to have harmony in your environment at all times.

The positive side of the 6 Soul Urge produces a huge capacity for responsibility; you are always there and ready to assume more than your share of the load. If you possess positive 6 Soul Urges and express them, you are known for your generosity, understanding and deep sympathetic attitude. Strong 6 energy is very giving of love, affection, and emotional support. You may have the inclination to teach or serve your community in other idealistic ways. You have natural abilities to help people. You are also likely to have artistic and creative leanings.

If you have an over-supply of 6 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative traits common to this number. With such a strong sympathetic attitude, it is easy to become too emotional. Sometimes the desires to render help can be over done, and it can become interfering and an attitude that is too protective, rather than helpful (too helpful and sometimes like to hear ppl's problems instead of my own). The person with too much 6 energy often finds that people tend to take advantage of this very giving spirit. You may tend to repress your own needs so that you can cater to the demands from others. At times, there may be a tendency in this, for becoming over-loaded with such demands, and as a result become resentful.

Your Inner Dream number is: 5

An Inner Dream number of 5 means:
You dream of being totally free and unrestrained by responsibility (MERDEKA!!!). You see yourself conversing and mingling with the natives in many nations, living for adventure and life experiences. You imagine what you might accomplished (zzz and dreaming once again:P).

So a small bit of it is kinda true in a way. The website is here:-

On Thursday had to go over to Kuantan to meet the Bomba officer there. Had a project in Bukit Tinggi Pahang which required a little clarification on the fire-fighting system. The plans are submitted to Bomba Pahang, hence the need to drive all the way there.

yup, drove over 600km from SJ to Kuantan and back to SJ in 1 day. So here was the timeline:-
6.00 am left home and refuel car
6.15 left SJ by Kesas, then using MRR2 to go to Karak Highway side
6.45 Karak Hwy, Gombak toll RM 5.00 toll
7.00 Karak Hwy, Genting Sempah tunnel
7.30 East Coast Hwy, Lanchang toilet stop
9.30 Reach the Kuantan interchange, RM 19.20 toll from Karak to Kuantan. almost 10 cent per km!!
10.00 in Kuantan, lepak a bit to 2.00 pm coz the officer is only in afternoon
So 10.00am to 2.00 pm went to Teluk Cempedak, lepak at Kuantan Megamall
2.30 Left Kuantan, heading back to KL
5.00 pm, went up to Bukit Tinggi from Karak Hwy to see my site, located at almost 800 meters above see level. The location of the site on top of the hill will make any structure and infra engineer sweat. Fortunately I'm doing mechanical services :P
6.00 back on Karak Hwy to head back to KL
7.00 back home

So its 300km to get there, 300km to get back. The toll tally is like:-
Kesas Hwy RM 2.20 X 2 = RM 4.40
Karak Hwy MR 5.00 at Gombak toll , RM 3.00 at Bentong (Pahang side)
East Coast Hwy RM 19.20 from Karak to Kuantan
East Coast Hwy RM 19.20 from Kuantan to Karak
Karak Hwy another RM 5.00 and RM 3.00
Kesas Hwy RM 2.20 X2 = another RM 4.40

So total cost for toll only is a whopping RM 63.20 both ways, excluding petrol!!!!

But I must say, the Karak Hwy and East Cost Hwy is very nice to drive and if you are willing to risk saman (I didn't) you can speed all the way to Kuantan, though the Karak Hwy have a lot of sharp corners and the road is very undulating and steep. There were countless times whereby bigger cars (even kancil) overtook me. The speed limit for east coast Hwy is 110 kph.

The East Coast Hwy the transit ticket is very unique whereby it is a card unlike the Plus ticket which looks so outdated (still using magnetic strip!!)


Kuantan is pretty well run and clean I must say. Telok Cempedak, a popular beach spot was very clean and well maintained. Then in Kuantan got no toll road unlike say here there are tolls everywhere!!! No wonder BN still in Pahang, they are doing quite a good job there!

So this is kinda like my first out-station trip on my own using my car. Last time went to JB by bus or tumpang contractor or colleagues. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Then for my car it is the first time it went out-station too. yes, 14 years old and the furthest it has ever been is Nilai. Never been to Pahang, never been to Genting, never been to Perak even. Even though it is 14 years old the ride is smooth at 105 kph and the steering is straight. Of course, I just had it serviced less than 48 hours before, but on such a long trip a service would be necessary.

Oh, I must add that I have upgraded by phone to N95 from N80. Dad got a N95 but the battery life of the N95 couldn't keep up with the amount of calls he makes and receive every day. So I exchanged my phone with his. So far battery life is ok for me since I do not have many calls, but on this trip to Kuantan I only left bout 25% at the end of the day coz I took photos and surf wifi for almost and hour.

and yes, my vote is secret :)

Tuesday, February 26, 2008

Got a new Transformer last weekend, and it is not the usual for age 5 and above toy. It is rated 15 and above and very very detailed.

Got myself a Takara Masterpiece Starscream :P

Finally!!!

Photobucket

Very very detailed. cockpit can open, nose cone can open, air brake can open. A true Masterpiece. Now to save up RM 700 for a MP-04 (Optimus Prime Masterpiece with trailer)

Here's my new soft toy I bought :P

Photobucket
Looks familiar? I bought the Starbucks bear dressed up as a mouse with red shirt and holding some sort of good luck knot. Costs RM 50 though, but have to wait another 12 years b4 he comes out again :P

Saturday, January 05, 2008

I realized that I have TOO many photos :P almost 700 photos all together. The majority of them are family photos, however some I can put here to show a few things.

First up, the part of Tokyo which I stayed on the second day there. Stayed at the Keio Plaza hotel just opposite the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building in the Shinjuku area.

Photobucket

Quite a famous building actually. Raced around it in PGR 3, blew it up a few times in some PS2 game, and when I was there didn't know I will come here although i was thinking will I come to this place or not since I have seen this twin towers before.

Then the 3rd day I was at mount fuji area it snowed heavily the night before. The result: winter wonderland in the morning!!
Photobucket

Taken from the balcony of our hotel. Imagine, almost a palm length thick of snow came the night before.

From my hotel room window, not facing the lake unfortunately
Photobucket

So no choice can only visit mount fuji visitor center. See the thick layer of white snow? It is fresh white snow. The visibility is bad and cannot go up the mountain. Bought my Mount fuji soft toy from here.
Photobucket

See how heavy it snowed last night? :P
Photobucket

Luckily as we went over to the volcanic hot spring area can see the mountain.. although can't see the peak.

Photobucket

But after that we went to a shrine on top of a hill can see the peak finally :)
Photobucket

The 4 sided shrine on top of hill overlooking a city.
Photobucket

Now that mount Fuji is covered, now onto food!!

At the lake side hotel naer mount fuji had crab for dinner
Photobucket

Then on X'mas eve had this steamboat dinner in a typical japanese restaurant in Kyoto. Extremely hard to get up after that.

Photobucket

And the best of all, unlimited sushi!!
Yes, I took a little too much. The colors dun represent any value or type of dishes unlike our sushi king here. At a sushi bar in Osaka. My plates are on the left. The wasabi is very sauce-like, unlike our wasabi powder-rish. Also, I took too much wasabi!!!
Photobucket

... and yes, we were trying to outdo each other

Photobucket

The last day went over to Universal Studios Japan in Osaka. The entrance arch at night
Photobucket

There are also lots of Myvis... i mean Passos around too. My bro which has a Myvi was busy snapping away. Like this myvi here.

Photobucket

Or this Myvi inside the Toyota themepark in Odaiba, Tokyo.
Photobucket

or this Daihatsu Boon here, spotted on the 4th day.
Photobucket
Photobucket


And lastly, I mentioned about their hi-tech toilets, well, one hotel had this seat with a heated seat. There is a stop button, front spray button, back spray button and water pressure control. Oh, the water is heated too.

Let's recap on how much i have spend on Transformers so far

**** looks at total ***

errr nvm.

Now someone mentioned I collect until I can fill an entire shelf full before I get fed-up.

Well judging by the amount in the below picture,
Photobucket

Getting fed-up is loooonnggg overdue :P

Here is the first photo album of my Japan trip. This one shows photos taken at Tokyo Disneyland. Click the photo to enter.

Back from Japan already :)

Had a 5-day holiday in Japan, starting from the 20th to the 26th. 20th and 26th is mostly traveling while the days in between is when we were there.

First day: Tokyo Disneyland :P
Very very nice place to be. Too bad have to queue up for almost everything!!! The place was very very clean as well and very very well maintained. My parents went there before i was born, so this is disneyland is quite old, but the stuff inside are all new. Stayed at the Shinjuku area.

Day two: Asakusa, Ginza and Toyota's Megaweb.
Visited the Asakusa temple then proceeded to visit Megaweb, Toyota's theme park where all the toyota models are there. got to Toyota Passo there and managed to obtain the Passo catalouge. Why passo? coz Passo = Myvi with some cosmetic differences and also the passo has a lot more hi-tech stuff that can be installed from Toyota somemore. Makes our myvi like crap and P2 very kedekut. After that went to Lake Kawakuchiku (very very hard to spell) near mount fuji. The best part was that it was beginning to snow heavily as we arrive there.

Day 3: Lake Kawakuchiko, Mount Fuji, Hakone, Shinkenzen
First thing in the morning head over to the visitor centre of Mount fuji to buy some souvenirs and play with snow. Since we arrive early got a foot layer of snow in the adjacent road near the car park to play around with. The snow is still very very fresh after the snowing heavily the night before. But cannot go up mount fuji coz the road is covered in snow and visibility is very very bad. No matter, got snow to play with :P

After that went to the Hakone area to eat the black egg which was cooked hard boiled by a nearby hot spring. The hot spring is located at the top of a hill with an incredible view of mount Fuji in the background. too bad the peak is covered with clouds. Then proceeded to go around lake Ashi for cruise and lunch.

At night sat the Shinkenzen bullet train to our next destination, a small city of Hanabashi (sp correct?). I tell you, when waiting at the station the other bullet trains whiz by VERY VERY fast. No wonder it is called a bullet train.

Day four: Kyoto
Visited a kimono arts center to see a kimonos being made there as well to buy any souvenirs. My bro bought a very nice yukata (summer garment) for his gf; green color with cranes. Costs about RM 100++. Sorry girls, didn't buy any yukata or kimonos :)

Then head over to the Kiyomizu temple to drink its spring water and look at its architecture. Also ate in a small japan restaurant where you have to sit on the floor. The ones you see in japanese restaurants here with the sunken area for your foot is for our convenience, the real thing don't have that luxury. Very hard to get up after that :P

Day five: Kobe, Osaka, USJ, Kanzai
Stayed in Kobe coz no hotel room in Osaka (supposed to be Osaka), but quite near Osaka. In osaka when to the shopping district where there is one sushi bar with the kaitan belt with one special feature, all you can eat sushi. Imagine Sushi king where you pay a flat rate and eat your heart out and the belt is always FULL. All for 890 yen per person. Yes, the plates were piled high:P

After that went to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) to sit a few rides and buy some stuff. Again, long queues are a norm. Luckily got an express ticket which costs 50% extra over the original ticket price. Can get in in under 5 minutes one time :P But Disneyland dun have such a feature, so have to queue the old fashion way.

Then we head to the Nikko hotel Kanzai international airport, located right beside the main terminal coz the next morning we need to fly back in the morning.

Several things I noticed in Japan:
1) The place is clean, very very clean.
2) Safe; almost everyone dun lock their bicycle or moto at train stations or outside shops. Outside the shops no one jaga the goods, they assume you will enter and pay for the item
3) Small: Kelisas, Kancils, Myvis, Kenaris,Jazz type cars thrive here. The number of Camrys on the road can count with 1 hand, Accords... have not seen a single one. Oh, alot of Passos. At Disneyland lots of MPVs like Alphards, Streams etc. The buildings in Tokyo are build soooo close apart. The highways are double decker over roads and several feet from the nearest tall buildings.
4) Courtesy: Everyone greets each other, no one is rude. Everyone queues orderly, even though they may dress like a punk. The bus driver and everyone has pride in thier work (funny thing was, the taxi we took back in M'sia has its speedometer totally broken and was always showing 0 kph)
5) Hi-tech: In all the hotel toilets, got an electronic toilet seat. heated heat? yup Oscillating water jet? Yup. Automatic odour removal? Yup. Press button and it will wash your butt? yup. Flip phones there makes our flip phones a toy. Almost everyone takes photo using a flip phone (making our SLR a big dinosaur from yesteryear). Everyone I see uses a flip phone. Ticketing machine can accept 2 tickets in one go and able to read both of them (1 big, 1 small).

and many many more.

Will soon upload the photos.

in the meantime, meet my new soft toys :P

From the left, Hello Kitty dressed up as the volcanic black egg, cool relax guy and mount fuji.

I made a simple excel file to keep track of all my transformers. To be frank, I have a lot of transformers, but didn't expect to have SO many transformers till I have spend RM 1700++!!!

That's including a few I have not gotten yet :P

So time to budget I guess.

*** better find something else to craze about otherwise this is getting too expensive ***

EDIT: It's 1700++, not RM 1600++, I missed out 1 :P
This week alone I saw 3 rear-end accidents, 2 on the LDP, 1 in KL. And the last 2 that happened was very very near me; within 2 cars length.

The first was on Monday, on the LDP in front of the Kelana Giant. was quite near me, but I was on the lane closer to Giant and not on the road from the flyover. 1 green iswara crash into a kembara.

Second one was at the Bank Negara roundabout on Thursday. A van crashed into the back of the Perdana under the flyover.

Then today I was in the middle lane, one Honda Odyssey rear-end into a ford ranger in the inner lane. This time it happened in front of me (about 2 cars length) and if I had not noticed why the honda was accelerating into the ford I would have kena too. Not a simple slight bump; a crash.

Very very weird week indeed. Have one day whereby I had no less than 5 blaring ambulances at different times of the day past by/overtook me.

Saturday, November 24, 2007

Managed to get my Jetfire+Grimlock twin pack at TRU subang Parade for only Rm 134.90. Quite cheap and it is at I believe at the non-goreng price. Grimlock is kinda like a nostalgia TF for me. Recalled seeing him in the Transformers movie when I was a little boy. A big T-rex with very funny lines (his intelligence is rather lacking, so he is a dinosaur of a few words) but big on character. Not to mentioned decepticons are afraid of this guy, except maybe Devastator of course. Little wonder in Beast Wars the Predacon leader wants to be a T-rex.

Oh, Grimlock kick butt too. Grimlock tried to death from above Devastator also (but failed).

Here's Grimlock in dino mode.

Here's Jetfire.

Jetfire has a nice sculpt too. The reason i want him is becoz he is a veritech. Well a not so perfect clone of a veritech but it can have robot mode, gerwalk and jet mode.

Gerwalk mode

Bought a special Gundam stand to make my TF fly :P

Saturday, November 17, 2007

On the 3rd of November, went to another play at the Seafield school hall. This time they were playing the play Ma Ma Mia, How Can I Resist You, a play which uses the ABBA songs. Used to listen to Abba very often since my parents would play the CD very often during weekends.

Of course the storyline is cut to suit the secondary students crowd since there are some parts which make no sense like the girl can't really find out who her real father is (use a DNA test!!!!) or the 3 fathers didn't realized the girls mother is screwing them over since ALL 3 are supporting the girl. Only 1 father and 1 mother right? OK, apparently the scrip isn't meant for this generation. But the students sure can SING. SING very well I might add. At least the Abba songs I have been listening to all this while finally make some sense.

Anyway, I was able to obtain the highly coveted, no.1 scalper target, BB08! Bumblebee 2008. Bought it for Rm 120 and with Payload, a Decepticon armoured truck. Payload is not worth mentioning since his transformation is ok but he could have been better, but BB08 was sound from its construction standpoint. Unfortunately Hasbro's QC has failed in the panting department. You see, I got a 2-face BB08. 2-face = Batman 2-face? Yup, But not as bad as Batman's one, just that some paint wasn't applied properly.

Here's the picture of it.
Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Oklah, boleh tahan. Atleast its joints are tight and the head is there. i have heard about headless BB08s and Takara BB08s with loose joints. At least this problem can be rectified easily with some paint.

My next target?

TFTM Ironhide and the Grimlock/Jetfire Twin Pack. 1 T-rex and 1 Veritech!

Yes, my 360 is hates me.

But last weekend I finally bought Halo3 to with play! hooray! the 360 is saved....

anyway, TF2 is not that fun anymore since now everyone knows all the tricks and are skilled already. No more noobs to own :P

Which made me finally getting around to play Episode 1 & 2. I was surprised EP1 was.... short. Hey, what do you expect from an expansion which is cheaper than a full game?

Hope EP2 is longer.

... and my 360 still hates me :(

p.s: coz i never played it everyday and rather be with my 8800 GTS.

Saturday, November 03, 2007

yes, this will be another post about Transformers, but now I practically have almost ALL the available toys I can buy except Bumblebee and Ironhide. Both are in Insane demand now and I'm better off buying one later this year or next year. Which is good news for my pocket.

Oh ya, forgot to mention I already acquired my last (hopefully) leader class transformer toy, Optimus Prime. Bought the Takara version instead of the usual Hasbro version. Cost me RM 245 inclusive of shipping. The most expensive purchase so far.

So let's see what I have:
1) Voyager Thundercracker
2) Voyager Rescue Ratchet
3) Deluxe Jazz
4) Deluxe Brawl
5) Deluxe Bonecrusher
6) Voyager Blackout
7) Leader Megatron
8) Leader Brawl (ppl think I'm crazy buying 2 versions of Brawl)
9) Deluxe Recon Barricade
10) Deluxe Longarm
11) Leader Optimus Prime
