no point....

i look at my 4-year old car........ and see the scratches, potmarks, dents here and there.............. but i feel ok.....

guess what, i no longer cringe when i discovered a new scratch or dent.... well, i guess when it happens to an old car, it doesnt matter anymore....

but if i buy a new car, the whole cycle will repeat itself....... since many local motorist and passengers are anti-social creatures, getting a new car is a pointless exercise at some point....

why? cos these ppl would open car doors indiscriminately.... which means your car get smashed left and right..... a new car, in many ways, get defaced in no time here in singapore......

i can save myself from heartaches if i continue to drive my potmarked car......

a tough case......

this is made for the rough guys (and gals too) out there. if u want a timepiece that is TOUGH, DARK and STYLISH, look no further......

zirconium oxide, commonly known as ceramic, is as TOUGH as you can get....... much harder than gold, platinum and steel, it is made to lasttttttttttttttttt......

and if you are often pissed by how easy your steel watch(es) get all scratched up, you will love the IWC topgun chronograph!



enlarged to 44 mm, it is a very handsome watch with a chronograph function..........what's more there are day and date indicators for the forgetful, which is so useful when u need to tear out the flaps from the parking coupons..........

just in case u overshot the timing, you can also rely on the chronograph to record the elapsed seconds and minutes.....



unfortunately the buckle is not made of ceramic............... what a pity



before the onset of the financial tsunami, this piece was quite elusive.......... lately i've seen them appearing in dealers' shelves ....... while the list price is at S$11,700, visiotime is offering a new piece at below list price.....

PS: i am not related to visiotime in any way.............

a bit of juice

99.99997% pure copper is used for the acrolink P4030 power cord........... if you compare the US pricing for acrolink products, you will realise how fortunate we are here in singapore.......

even if you are a non-believer in the effectiveness of power cords, you should give this a try...... no harm at all cos you get the chance to validate the experience....

more toys............

visited one of our usual hifi haunts this afternoon............ listened to the usher be-718 driven by a tube amp (octave v70) this time....... talked about hifi tweaks and cables..... and of cos the music....

also wanna find out more about acoustic revive products...... sounds pricey but feedback has been nothing but excellent...... some of the more affordable tweaks are out of stock..... well next time maybe......

in the end came home with these:

a carbon fibre cd mat........... very thin very light...........



2 cds..... another butterfly lovers violin concerto....... hehe.....



and this cantonese album......
