ozzy cd, peace walker

bought psp mgs peace walker finally on my psp go. too bad entropay no longer work with my usa account. my psp go games are on psn usa, so i gotta wipeout the memory and redownload gt5 [which i also have on asia psn] and buy mgs peace walker on asia psn.

saw the peace walker guide at kino bookweb but when i arrive the taka branch, it was soldout. quickly made an order thru playasia which is on 24hr, 2gther with the soundtrack, shipping via fedex.

got ozzy's new cd, danzig's new album is not out locally. also bought a new earphones for my mp3 player at $19. free sony pen, had to ask for it.

uncharted 2: among thieves

called funzcentre while i drove towards amk hub. as 2day i've changed duty 30mins to work earlier with delta watch to attend khung hui's wedding dinner, and knowing that R3 uncharted 2: among thieves for ps3 is gonna be available this morning, it'll be a disaster not to have the game when i get home at 11pm. when i got to the shop, adrian, my new stall assistant was busy attending to the calls enquiring for the game. 15mins he told all those who called. he popped over during a breather, chris is on his way up with the stock. i was relived. it was 1145am, 45mins to drive to changi tower.


and last weekend i bought this for a nice $19. crsytal gave me 2 EA tees free from fifa10 and 2 ps3 tees free from buing ps3 slim. hmm, i feel very valued shopping with them. these phones worked well with the go but dont do well when i play music on the go.


and at last, managed to complete the hello kitty pearl cards book for my wife, #34 is the last card done thru trading via singaporemotherhood forum. achievement.

sony macro lens and arrival of Terminator Sarah Chronicles Season 2

my terminator sarah chronicles season 2 arrived 2day. the delivery for normal shipping via amazon seems pretty stable lately, this round takes 11days. the attraction for this season will prob be shirley manson.

only realized this lens was out already. i've needed a macro lens for my toy closed up so this budget macro lens works great. bought from MS Color at $299. also grabbed a m2 card for my psp go at $50. memoryonlineshop at ebay will sell this at a nice $42.



now i can go real near for detail

psp go

the day started off sending my wife to work. then went ntuc bishan for a quick grab of lucas' mamy poko. he's wearing large now so it's 55 pieces per pack, can finish like a week. bleached my hair and then send my car in to delgro engineering for brakes inspection. i hear grinding sound when i apply the brakes. like visiting the doctor, after booking an appointment, the sound disappear.

was advised i need to change ATF oil as well. haron tested the car and didnt hear anything either, prob some rust that had wore off. he suggested also to do a servicing to reduce the the price. and hours later when i was at hmv, i was told i had to change he wiper, and also mend up an oil leak. hence i cant have my car 2nite, no car for children's day, but my wife dont need to pick me up so it works nice that i collect my car 2mrw. hope they will remove that rattling sound too, the hitting of my exhuast pipe to my rear bumper.

my task besides above will be the hunt for the perfect launch of PS3 slim and PSP go. shops i visited, bishan sony and game shop, wisma sony, uptron and taka, paragon sony, orchard central sony, orchard central funzcentre, sony funan, funan gamescore, funan zavi, ion juzz1 and finally back to uptron.

in the morning, most stores have no stock, or no gifts for niether PS3 slim and PSP go. psn asia was empty too, no sign of gt psp nor minis. until mid aftenoon slowly shops has stock but no gifts. best was Juzz1 at ion, they didnt even know PSP go is launch 2day. only orchard central sony has freebies, brollie for PSP go and tee for PS3 slim.

i was originally set to buy PS3 slim. but then again my phat is doing still superb. i needed to check the free tee, and it sucked indeed. tested PSP go at orchard central, tho the buttons looked kinda cramp, it felt well.

at 5pm, the aura came and i headed back to uptron at taka, their stuff finnaly arrived. the $40 network card with free tee finally arrived, first shop in singapore, prob cos they are the distributors after all. i grab my stuff happy and went home.

and to my happiness, asia psn is uploaded with all the goodies, incl GT and minis .....

bought marvel alliance2 guide and 2 cds from hmv as well .... a happy children's day ....

father and son

father and son

he wore his surfing attire only to pee into the shirt during change

and he fits into singlet aleydis bought

and another shirt that pairs

and sharing a time with his father playing rock band unplugged on psp

2 items that i'm eyeing .... so who's the child now?

wwe 25 anni blu-ray, GH Smash Hits, psp rock band unplugged

took only 14days via amazon to deliver this. nice

GH smash hits hit the streets 2day, $76 at funzcentre. saw rock band unplugged for psp, tempting me on the shelf, last piece on the rack, so i grabbed it as well.

while looking for the soldout "taken" blu-ray, i found a local "unborn" blu-ray. didnt know we've watched this movie already, but it's ok to keep a horror disc anytime.

play beyond - hot shots golf open tee 2

i've listed my Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds for ps3 for sale in the gameaxis forum a couple of days back at $45. had some trouble patching up the game, but the next day i managed to patch it and fooled with a DLC kratos character and found it's still hold some greatness i decided to keep the game. but i never alter the forum.

my R1 silent hill homecoming for ps3 was slated to send out from playasia on 3rd october but it got delayed to 6th october. tho it's nice to have the R3 in hand to play first, but i'm paying premium courier price for a game that takes so long to be released. it sucked more when i saw it yesterday evening, the R1 version at funzcentre at $85. 

left home early to funzcentre, timed to sell my the force unleashed R4 for psp and in exchange to buy hot shots golf open tee 2 for psp, before heading to work in a 45mins stint. glad crystal took in my game at $28 and i paid $31.90 for the new psp game. 

and to my dismay, i found my psp phat finally come up with problems. the SELECT key is perm selected so i have some trouble at the xmb. my wife suggest i take hers, when i had the notion of getting a psp2000 slim and lite after delaying for so long. then i came to know the psp3000 with upgraded lcd's gonna be release in 14 october locally. guess i'll see how it goes when the day comes.

1134am, in the mist of my nap after my night duty, a sms came in asking if i'm still letting go my hot shots golf out of bounds. 

it all circles around the playstation games, decision to sell, keep, buy. play beyond ~

ps3 force unleashed arrived .... just a mere 2 days via UPS

while they ponder if it's ok to import .... mine arrived. the local one is one helluva disgusting R4 .... and so i got the psp version .... but for ps3 it's gotta be the superior R1 .... 

did a upgrade of my loyal psp to version 4.05 and ps3 to useless 2.43

U900 soul / psp force unleashed

sold my c902 off at $400 for u900 soul by samsung .... since buying the f480 for my wife, i've been a samsung convert and gave up on sony ericsson's bad record of good phones .... 

u900 seems to lack a good shortcut function, the customizable menu just aint enuff for my heavy usage of shortcuts for phones. another lacking goodie on u900 is the great cam functions in sony ericsson models .... 

also bought a R4 psp the force unleashed ....

yuffie play arts vol 2

i finished watching the last disc from my Alien Quadriloy, that that includes completing the entire collection of 9disc. i've begun playing my crisis core on my psp again and the Advent Children dvd arrives thru the post. that would mean it the end of the alien fever and we enter straight into the repeating phase of Final Fantasy Fever.

managed to locate this piece of Play Arts item (yuffie) at EarthX website. it cost $35, i guess that would be close to the original retail price mizu mentioned. i've also bidded for a Advent Children soundtrack locally via yahoo auctions and a FFVII potion drink by suntory at $9. Yuffie appears as a young girl in crisis core and a young lady in Advent Children.

i've become too difficult to be with .... i hope some day god will grant me my final wish .... the happy hermit .... for then the world will be happier w/o me .... and still holds a place for me to strife and survive. all i wanted was to be peaceful and normal .... but god has his mysterious ways.

caught the final act of crowne hotel from the tower. wonder whats the final touch will look like .... do we know about the future? never be too confident ....

yuffie fixed up

preadator

just came home from HMV. my intention was to buy the 2disc AvP region3. located a region3 Predator 1+ 2 dvd as well. there was a region1 Predator with all the making of but i guess this movie is a little to old so i skipped that for this 2-in-1 disc. this reminds me of the Conan 1+2 i got back then but that had all the bells and whistles. small feature on the left, MGSPO+ i got few days back from funzcentre at $35.

so why not get AvP on blu-ray? AvP on blu-ray does not have any making of documentries. it does have a cool feature of watching in on theatrical cut or uncut version but my focus for this phase is to understand the AvP storyline. but if i really love the movie, u never know, i might back myself up with the blu-ray version. so why not get the blu-ray for Predator? again, reviews say the transfer was bad so this Predator 1+2 is a good deal, and it helps me to complete my character study for the Predator series as well. a good catch tonight.

i've parked illegally outside heeren for 15mins. as i left my car another had a traffic police slip over his windscreen. i took the risk but was declared safe when i completed my expedition.

now .... i'm contemplating on Wolf Predator 12inch by hot toys. my lowest find at CSC 2day is $380. possibly a $120 from he release price. there's 3 Predators from the Predator 2 series hot toys had produced and a big bunch of Preds from AvP series. AvP2 only has Wolf predator. the hunt continues ....

"portable battery dries up" phobia

boy i'm feeling the tinge of hunger. i had soup while my wife had wagyu at culina, a niche eatery+supermart. across the street in the revamped of dempsey road, is a organic supermart cum eatery as well. bunched in the compound, packed with expats and wannabes and minority of lookers feast in organic non fatty vege healthy dining in pure pretentiousness. i'm just happy to be across the divider.

cookies never tasted better. i have to eat lite. 2 weeks of runway3 duty has damaged my digestive system.

bottled drinks from in italian flavor. the six pack is a flavor called "bloody orange" while the solo bottle is "bitter citrus" .... will be skipping the entire Euro08 football championship this summer. why? cos england's not playing? and pple wonder why in this modern age do old folks like me still hardcore on the english national team.

updating my psp to 3.95. foolish somemightsay, why not play a mod set with downloaded games .... hell, do i fucking look like a pirate? i rather be a carrot. i've also come in terms to focus on a local slim and lite PSP2006, instead of a silkscreened back with limited prints. now , what color to choose?

a picture of a chocobo .... think i'm in a FF phase ....

i have a phobia. a phobia of my devices goes dry of it's portable power .... phobialist.com .... anyone know whats the name of this phobia ??

psp slim / video games played part 3 (PSP)

my wife bought me a black piano psp via ebay in 2005. then it cost close to SGD600 for it's only available in japan. for a long period it was in hibernation as there werent many appealing games.

til date the games i've played on psp are (red completed):-

ridge racer 6 (my wife's) (R2/JPN)
NFS underground (R2/JPN)
sim 2 (R1) SOLD
MGSPO (R1) 
carol voderman's sudoku (R1)
silent hill origins (R1) SOLD
god of war: chains of oylmpus (R1) SOLD
FFVII Crisis Core (R1)
MGSPO+ (R1)

i've still got 1 R2 PAL movie as my psp phat is R2 JPN. title of the movie is a classic horror i've watched when i was a kid, it's "Evil Dead" which i bought thru amazon.co.uk. psp and ps3 consoles can play any region's games, in other words, they play their respective game region free. but the console itself is region coded so you can watch umd movies or dvd based on their respective regions only. R2 belows to 2 major regions, which are UK and Japan.

psp slim has since launched with many added features. most important features to me are it's longer battery life and bigger cache that reduces loading time.

waiting for some miracle and extra dole, below are the 2 potential sets that i wish to owned 1. but will my phat psp be neglected? nope. both will be played and loved.

this is the R! star wars battlefront renagade squadron entertainment pack. not too sure if the game appeals .... current lowest price located is SGD320

this is the final fantasy VII crisis core entertainment pack. R2 JPN. set comes with a japanese version of crisis core and a buster sword charm. located price is $600, but should be slightly lower.


there were 2 previous sets that were so cool, the MGSPO limited versions. but now they no longer serve their duty as a new psp should be the slim set .... the wait continues
