Horrified....

My friend has been telling me that he may need to get his car
suspension repaired... He felt the car was spongy and was wallowing
during corners & bumps.....

And my first advice was why not get a set of sports coilover system...
Now since not everyone is after sporty performance handling, he said
no no.... He just wanted comfort and that's all.... So there was once
I was in his car and then i realised his problem: he's the kind that
doesn't slow down for speed humps!! He went ocer them as if there's
nothing!!!!!

Now if you want your dampers to live long, you'd better go slow over
these road obstacles.... No matter how compliant the suspension is,
they will wear down quickly if abused in this way....

For me I see humps, being 姑娘 is the best policy...

simple greed....

what's the core aim for doing business? firms and bosses just wanna make money, more and more of it...

consumer rights is not really a factor until it affects their bottom line.......... if given the choice, they will F the customer every time and rub their noses at you.

and when they tell you certain deals and certain products are exclusive, they are in fact not interested in making you feel special or privileged. they just wanna F more money out of your pocket.......

so what is the right price for exclusive pay TV content? it really depends on who you ask.....

i know of people who subscribes to ALL the pay TV channels and have set-top boxes in every rooms in their homes............ and also others who has none; they watch free to air channels only......

however as watching tv is one of our national past-times, MDA has no choice but to step in when so many people are complaining about prices for programmes.....

i look at MDA and shake my head..... why? cos they so kaypo issue another pay TV licence for what...........

dun they ever learn? having SPH mediaworks to compete against mediacorp resulted in both giants bleeding..........

and now singtel mio had created so much trouble and boohoo..................

we really F ourselves lah........  not everything needs competition; if competitions lead to less benefits for consumers, then that's worthless competition.............

so now they say, 60 accidents (average) per day involving cabbies....... well i cannot imagine the actual numbers if we include all the CB things they did.......

what can we do to them?

nothing much actually...........

the price of silver... OYAIDE AR-910

things change over time and we also know that over time, things change.......

however, i didn't expect the magnitude of change over a few weeks for the OYAIDE AR-910 silver 110 ohms XLR cable........

at first, it sounded cleaner and also faster than the silver sonic D-110 when i plugged it in between the CAL delta and MSB DAC.... "a good move", i thought..... since i couldn't afford a single piece of acrolink d-5000 digital link, i have to choose something which come with a real world price..... and the first impression was good.....

but over the next few days, things turned for the worse...... highs became shrill, sibilance almost unbearable and the presentation too forward......

i found it difficult to listen for much longer...... "must be the pure silver conductors", i thought: most people believe the silver sounds lively, perhaps maybe too lively for some tastes........ and this time round, i was afraid i made the wrong choice......

not one to be easily deterred, i decided to put the CD player on repeat for days and nights........ how can i not let the cable run in before i listen again......

so i stayed away for a good few days until curiosity led me back into the listening room........

this time, things were a little different....... i could now sit down and listen: one song, a couple more and then a few albums followed......... after which i no longer was needed to stay away and listening became more frequent.....

even after one month, i feel that the sound is still improving....... hmmmmm i have never used anything that required a run-in THAT long........"must be the pure silver conductors"......

the improvements trickled in slowly but gradually........with more time, i began to appreciate what this cable is about:

build quality is top-notch, especially the new XLR plug created by oyaide....... every aspect is jewel-like in appearance and construction although i didn't like the stiffness: WAY TOO UNWIELDY...!!!

in terms of sound, i am impressed by the transparency (it's silver after all) and clean high-freq extension........ while it didn't have the organic texture and naturalness of acrolink's high purity copper cables, the oyaide compensates with its solidity and punch......

so how will the cable perform as a balanced analogue cable? i can't tell you at all as i have used it singly as a digital link that's all.......

you can try if u want a pure 5N silver cable in your system........ just remember to give it lotsa and lotsa time......

Halfway

Nowadays I dun find a 10% discount to be attractive. Perhaps many of
us were spoiled by the many sales during the past months & years...

Only 20% is enough to entice me...

so what is butt party?

a nice term it may be but butt party simply refers to a bunch of guys who work in unison to operate wooden target boards, of which the most common is fig 11.....

aha, it was all manual labour back then but it is fun to think of the nonsense we had back then.....

some of the things i had encountered was.....

a.        the whole place was flooded and many of us had to stand in deeper-than-ankle waters while the shoot was on-going

b.        someone was not satisfied with our performance and made us do push-ups in the confines of the butt.......

c.        the place was SOOOO hot in the afternoon and it felt like so much like a sauna..... but some guys can still fall asleep .....

sometimes i have to be amazed with our own little country and the things we are are capable of.....

to be able to produce reclaimed water to meet 40% of our needs is absolutely incredible......

over the years, we knew we may have to end up fighting for our water...... but now, the likelihood of that happening has come down over the years........

and they knew they can no longer hold us to ransom cos we no longer need to buy so much water from them.......

most importantly, we can also stop selling "subsidised" treated water that cheaply back to them.......

if only someone can come out with a small machine to reclaim water...... when that happens, we dun even need to buy water from PUB!! if only, wahahaha......

before i decide which one to get, might as well list down my features-list for a HD video cam:

a.        price should be less than $400

b.        must be capable of 1080p HD video

c.        able to stand on on its own without support/tripod: those tall and thin type need not apply

d.        able to take still pics of at least 2 MP

e.        comes with at least 4 gb of memory (internal or external)

f.        comes with continuous autofocus

g.        preferably with 3 x optical zoom

h.        preferably with lens that rotate/turn

on the other hand, how about a digital still camera that takes HD video?....... now a high pixel digital still camera has a bigger and better lens which should translate into better video performance ..... right?
