blog updated with some ancient features

the infamous blog wait by sketzombie has some updated features ....

1) links are now divided into proper headings. they are currently splitted into various categories. new links are added.

2) a new tag-board has been added for readers who wishes to leave a message but are not blogspot users. as this is a free tag-board [non-paying feature], there is no time stamping. feel free to leave messages and your contacts if u want me to get back to you. profanity allowed.

3) current playlist -- my current entertainment in order of importance. these are hyperlinked.

and on the sidebar, white and inverted angel pix were added, and playstation logo + blogger logo etc were added as well. some fonts and color schemes were replaced too.

i've played enuff DiRT for the passed 24hrs, spent hours f**kin around with this blog template [last edit 1202am 4th of july 2007], it's time for me to watch some old movies then fall into the darklands ....

nice pictures for the day ....

some thoughts on album make some noise "the amnesty international campaign to" save dafur album.

this is a 2 cd set with songs done by many established artist. u get big names like U2, REM, Duran Duran, and many that i'm not familiar like Tokio Hotel, corinne bailey etc.

i really like to emphasized on 2 tracks that i liked alot. the cure did LOVE and a-ha did #9 dream. with distinct voice of robert smith, the song was transformed. not the traditonal cure tune, not the way the mission did this cover in the late 80s, but this cure version is real special, partially dark, a dark love, and the drumming is absolutely sensational. and a-ha's version of #9 dream [rem did the same cover on disc1], the always dreamy morten harkett's singing, it's one of his best ever vocal yet.

greed day did working class hero, xtina did mother [oh yeah], corinne bailey rae on i'm losing u, jackson browne did oh, my love, snow patrol on isolation .... these are other outstanding tracks.

my cd is a singapore made versin. the sound quality is great on the car stereo.

if u hate lennon, u'll like this album. but i always liked lennon's pestimistic lyrics.

new bapex from japan touchdown

in the morning the tracking number on japanpost website shows item left tokyo last nite 2am. but on our local speedpost website shows no info on item. i called singpost and they said item has not reached singapore. that was 10am.

at 430pm i checked on the local speedpost website it says failed delivery at 235pm. item left processing in singapore at 11am. i called singpost hotline again. and they got back to me to say item was stucked at processing afterall and never reach my home. they had to sort out the GST as it's a watch.

at 740pm a final call from singpost that i can collect my item at paya lebar branch and they closed at 9pm.

took them 30mins to find my box.

hmm ebay logo on USPS box. same fellow my wife got my lastest bape tee from, plainflour, ebay seller in japan.

hmm mystery baggie.

mystery green camo baggie reveals my item inside.

velvety case, label, gaurantee card, watch on pillow.

plastic wrapping intact.

my wrist isnt too big. but this watch is huge. my previous apexplorer bracelet fits well and comes without spare chains. this fellow wears loose. would be good if i line it up beside a apexplorer. if that was medium, this is large.

the face. now what model does this bapex imitates this time? notice the diamond 12 o'clock marking, bapesta logos on 3 o'clock n 9 o'clock marking, and bape R on 6 o'clock marking. luminous jewels shines green. TIME IS MONEY slogan. MADE BY HUMAN imprint. automatic mechanism, not too sure if it's 50m water resistant. but the crown has a screw-in function, so i presume.

could it be a spoof of this rolex model? exploxer 1? the bapex comes in 3 colors, balck face [mine], white face and red face. counterfiet bapex has since surface. pple will actually make a replica of a spoof watch. also is the mechanism of japanese miyota ?

same a bathing ape markings like the rolex can be found on the usual places again. also the ape head on the crown. i moved the clasp joint all the way to last second notch so i need not remove any bracelet chain. now the bracelet fits snuggly.

and this ape head logo too.

a great ultimate watch .....

is this the world we created ?

i've been on colin mcrae DiRT crack the whole of 2day n almost the whole of yesterday. as it's the 360 version that i bought, i've unlocked quite a handful of achievements. wonder if there'll be any goodies on the PS3 version, like making of vids, concept art etc. by 2 nite i should complete the rookie tour of the career mode. i'm really hooked. some say the graphics still cant beat motorstorm, i say it's awesome, and the gameplay is sure less repeatative compare to the xtremer genre motorstorm, i would say it's addictive .... and i'm so in love with the evo IX and the BMW X3.

the darkness o nthe otherhand, which i got on PS3 hasnt the kickass graphics. the lead character, jackie escardo had voiceover done by faith no more mike patton .... he does look n sound like robert de niro. in overall, not a necessary game to buy for your PS3, but good to have, a break from the racing surplus on the sony machine.
** update:- this game is banned in singapore. what the ??

my bapex watch was detained by singpost/custom for gst reasons. a pity i didnt get to have it 2day. they'll contact me on if i need to go down to pay personally or they will charge me gst on delivery, all depending on custom, if they find an appropriate invoice. i get less hassle on Fedex or DHL. damn.

time for dinner then more gaming. the heat in singapore continues to melt n kill weakened old pple. the world we lived in will soon be over .... game on !!!

a working class hero is something to fear

a busy day since the morning. with a mixture of alcohol n cough tabs in my blood .... i slept at the crazy hour last night, 1130pm.

my day started at 8am .... picked up twiggy at my in-laws to drop her at PAWS vet at bukit purvis for her spaying. twiggs wasnt too friendly so she was muzzled.

some minor deliver at the west v4 we settled for shopping at vivocity. the 26inch hdmi full hd sony tv that i told skyslim about was missing. liked he said, perhaps a peeked to the future. got calls from dolls inc, PAWS the n ultimatley gamescore ....

twigs resting outside her house. she had fasted since last night 10pm. when she got home she served herself with plenty of water n fin her fave canned food solid gold. tho she still walks weak n wobblby, i'm sure she'll sping back in action in no time.

funan was packed as usual. collected my darkness for PS3 n bought a HD Dvd at gramaphone. sembawang music centre started selling a nice range of blurays n hd dvds. prices ranges between gramaphone n hmv heeren. i'm not sure if other brances are stocked too.

goodies from yesterday n day b4. PSM aug, EGM aug. a charity lennon cd n black spidy hmv exklusive.

nineteen ten

finally got my hay cropped short this evening. it's nice to have a regular hairstylist that cuts/style your hair to the correct look.

alvin asked me so what i'm into these days .... "games and toys", i replied. i'm not a fan of financial burden. my blog pages do contain some toy reviews .... but it'll never fall into the category of a local toy blog. it's mostly of my goodies i bought, my lament of my ideal life, certainly never be linked as a toy blog.


barry (so he's known as) bwasnt in the shop 2day. he's partner apraised my "powerful" watch. for a moment he was believing it was a rolex sub or a GMT in gold. a pity as a shop owner he didnt click this is a pimp bapex apexplorer. Simon Lee could regconized from far 2 years back when i first wore it. he has an eye for detail.


god was around 2nite. at the brink of my breakdown my father called me to check out 1910 on tv. not a big winning but it should aid me in this time of burden. off i go now to pay my wife's bills, it's cool, i'm just broke, but i wish i could help more. she's now my online shopper for i have my paypal n ebay banned all the time. party all the time party all the time party all the time .... i dont want to ....

enterbay "way of the dragon" bruce lee mini review

boy i'm hungry now. i dislike it when my brother n his wife comes for dinner. they are hoggers. they were once told off by their own families, "are u done, if yes please dont sit around, there are others waiting to eat their dinner". kick ass statement isay.

below my mini review / thoughts about the new enterbay way of the dragon 1/6th figure. most picutres u might have seen from other websites. this will be my version.

this time round this set doesnt come with a enterbay carrier. so it's red big plastic bag when i bought mine. the artwork for the cupboard slipover cover is in black n white coolness. same prob encounter when u need to slip it off from the box. the inner box is pretty flimsy, do watch out for tears when inspecting.

the back of the slip over cupboard.

serial number are on 4 same locations again. they're on the back of the slip cupboard, the back of the box, the card cert, the back of your figure. as the diorama is now part of the inner box, u have only 4 locations that display the serial numbers.

this is the top view of your box.

the artwork on the innerbox. the box opens from left to right. the line on this box is your hinge.

ta da .... the diorama. bruce is hidden on the greyish wall. no the whole diorama is of hardened quailty, this is a letdown if u compare it with the first set's diorama.

bruce held nicely on a black velvet plastic. sorry no figure stand was located somehow.

the cupboard cert. deluxe version

sets of hands n weapons. soft nunchakus and flexi bamboo. the flying darts r delicate do take care when removing from the box.

sepia bruce posing

the rotatable eyes. you'll have to adjust them carefully as u might get a slight cock-eye look as they rotates independently.

his outer shirt buttons are the delicate knots so i'm gonna leave him unbuttoned for the fear of mishandling the knots. medicom chose an esy way out by using velcro. this one is real precise.

bruce with chopestick pose. same stiff limited rotatable ankles. as previous figure. means toes will likely point foward, outward depending on your rotating at the groin region joint.

my artbook is still shrinked warpped. anyone who didnt pre-order but still gets this book is gonna be a steal.

3 bruises ?!?!?! who's gonna win as my favourite ?? i take way of the dragon as the winner for now. what's your choice ??

bruce lee day

bumped into christopher harold at the locker corridor yesterday. we had a brief chat on my impatience on the upcoming enterbay bruce lee. and in the evening at work w bumped into each other again, both of us had reveived sms from falcon's hangar that the figure will arrive 2mrw 1pm.

didnt catch much sleep 2day despite only near 3hrs rest last nite. incame my bruce lee dvd from amzon.co.uk


his set has 6 disc wtih a dvd size hard cover book.

movies are :-

1) the big boss
2) fist of fury
3) enter the dragon
4) game of death 2disc
5) 30th anni commeorative documentry disc


looks like with this 6 disc set n 3 more disc of planet earth, games gonna take another major break.

am really enjoying DiRT on 360 atm. time keeping by tag heuer

at 7pm i managed to reintall the missing jewel on the 12 o'clock bapex bezel. 745pm i was at work. pimp on. my 6 useable watches. had retired the tissot t-touch. couple of my colleagues are wearing their IWCs to work lately, mine, nothing at all to brag about. it's good to have this photo-ventory. of all only 1 is vaulable. the rest are memorable.

HMS

supposed to head to DFS to get elaine's grandma aka popo a birthday present. but after much time spent at funan area, an area that does not appeal much to my wife, the plan was abandoned.


i cancelled order for ghost rider bluray from amazon this morn cos the price will be slight diff to the local release. was gonna go HMV heeren to grab that but located it at gramaphone capitol, 2gther with the lure again on planet earth, that saves me a trip down to heeren, again another place ealine will try to avoid.

Dirt came in a week early, from ealry to delay to early, gamescore smsed me for the game arrival late morning. spotted GI July at Computer Books at funan, it's another crumple copy. i asked the sales person why do they only bring in one copy and it always end up crumple. last month's crupled issue was still on the shelf. she suggest me placing a reservation but that's not good enuff for now. i draged my wife to kino laing court and as usually they have that shrink-wrapped copy. awesome.

regular blogs means regular shopping. after all most of my blogs relates to purchases for the day. holy moses shit. time to cut.

200 not 300

bumped inoto rick at hmv. he's lure of planet earth bluray has got strong, but i resisted the temptation and will hold off this purchase til a little date.

when i received this invitation from citbank / mariott, i knew what we'll get into. but for $200 takashimaya voucher, i told elaine, lets do it.


540pm, we were early at 14th floor tower A ngee ann city mariott vacations. the spread of high tea style buffet was bearable. spotted are some glaring eyes at our outlandish dressing and styled super. then came in more normal pple that we soon blend in. and so it was a mass sale, again back to 1to1 travel share sale. what the heck we spoke to ourselves, just for the $200. so 1.5hrs finally passed and the 2 girls that were assigned to us failed to persuade these 2 determined shoppers. well the package deal was good, but we'll just not the travel kind, i told them with $500 each month i could get myself a pair of shoes [brother, sounds like hulk hogan] . they reluctantly led us to the check out counter and boy we got our $200 vouchers. heheh, the horror couple won again.


thursday is kino uk zines shippment nite. with 20percent off til end of month, i cant bear to reject PSU3, which i have seriously wanted to discard as a monthly reading. also located was haruki murakami's new book, and goodness i have not finished his last short stories novel. i'm just so impatient when it comes to reading, if everything can be make into a movie form. i'll try, try to finish this book then go back to his last novel.

so much to do and so little time.

i'm the alpha of the omega, the beginning of the end.
