\nThe sunlamp probably made this duck’s hair expand upwards.<\/p>\n

Frus<\/a> and I met up in Low Yat to look for hard disk-based MP3 players. Since I had 19 Gigabytes<\/a> of MP3s and 4 Gigabytes of pictures, I’d love to have a 40 GB MP3 player\/picture viewer (and perhaps hackable to view videos). The perfect one would be the iRiver H340<\/b>, but that was nowhere to be found. Its smaller 20 GB brother, the H320, was around though.<\/p>\n

Other options?<\/b><\/p>\n

The RM1650-costing Wealper Multimedia Viewer II<\/a> (in shops it was sold under the brand Pendrive). It could view pictures and videos, plus it functioned as a card reader too! My only gripe with this was that it was 20 GB! I could transplant a 40 GB hard disk in it, but it would have to fit in a 1.8″ case. Otherwise, I’d be loading from my camera straight to this and watching re-encoded Transformers episodes.<\/p>\n

There was also the Pendrive X’s Drive Pro<\/b>; that used a 2.5″ hard disk (not included) and if I was to add a 40 GB hard disk, it would total less than RM700. Sadly, it was bulkier and did not have a color screen.<\/p>\n

Still, all these had more features than an iPod of the same price, so eat that, brand fashionistas!<\/p>\n


\nSpeaking of eating, we then went to Steak & Goreng<\/b> for dinner where my Teh O Ais Limau<\/i> (Iced Lemon Tea) had an interesting deformation at the straw. I then realized that this was intentional! Such geniuses. Ever drank your Teh O Ais Limau slowly because you were afraid to suck up seeds? This straw crease prevents it!<\/p>\n


\nWe also found the<\/b> black album – the soundtrack to This Is Spinal Tap<\/b>! I didn’t even know it existed. Now I’ve gotta get speakers that go to 11. Unlike Metallica’s black album, which had a snake, this was really black. How much more black can it get? None more black<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I’m going on a search to locate the other albums (in the bottom-right inlay). Sadly, no lyrics were included.<\/p>\n

If you are a rocker and do not know of this legendary rock band and their rockumentary, you should swap your leather pants for baggy jeans.<\/p>\n

Side trivia: I didn’t know that double-bass-playing (it’s a double-neck bass with the exact same neck… geddit?) Derek Smalls<\/b> also did many voices in The Simpsons<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
