Rapoo 6600

Here is a Bluetooth mouse from RAPOO. Model number 6600. With this mouse, no dongle is required as most laptop pc does have Bluetooth built in. It is small in size. The design of this casing allow me to lift the mouse with 2 fingers ( a thumb and fourth finger ). Some may not want to agree on the idea of lifting the mouse around. But I just love to do that. As some time the mouse is out of 'range', and I have to return it with in the area where the mouse can be sliding around with out hitting the laptop or obstruction from other items surrounding it. Below is a pic to show the size of the mouse. A triple A battery is used as comparison.

Beneath the mouse there are various button or switches. They are clearly labeled. There is no need of explanation required.
The package of this mouse included a short USB cable, a rechargeable AAA battery, a pouch (which has a pocket in the pouch to store the USB cable) and 2 additional covers ( black and dark blue ). As mentioned in the manual, the battery can last about 3 weeks before next charge. And there is an indicator light to indicate the battery is weak. The light is hidden between 2 buttons, in front of the scroll wheel.
No auto sleep on this mouse, if the laptop turns to idle mode, the mouse is to be clicked to return the connection (I am not sure if that is how it wakes up).
The DPI button switches between 800 and 1600. So far only use it once and the connection is pretty good. As I just got it yesterday.

Ingersoll

This one is a manual winding with stopwatch function by Ingersoll. Illuminated in green. The first time I saw this, I immediately turn the watch over to see the back of it. Yes! This is what I am looking for! And it came in a hefty price for not known watch. Maybe it is catching up or should I say it may make a name in future. Anyway, I might as well enjoy it, since I have owned it.

The second shot is the back of the watch. The mechanism can be viewed. This mechanism displayed is for the stop watch.

BUZZ B8010



I was hunting for watches to collect. Been to internet and discovered some very low price watch that functioned similar as those made in Swiss. The last I was banking on a Russian made watch, which has 24 hours dial. Found some at Red Army in Pavilion and Tropicana City. But the design was not to my liking.

On net, found Alpha watches made in Hong Kong. They are priced to my capability to purchase. Next was hoping for it to appeared in Klang Valley. So Sungai Wang was my first target. Found something in Bukit Bintang as per the picture above. But in gold color. Too bad gold is not a color I like.

At the same time a colleague was looking for a watch on his wrist. This is where I poisoned him with mechanical watches instead of quartz. Then he agreed to tag along to see the choices of mechanical watches. That is when I discovered the stainless steel color of the same model. So I bought one. I was really gaga over it. As the price is something I can afford compared to a Swiss made one. So here me go sharing with you the photos I have taken.

This is my fourth mechanical watches. A hand winding is required in order for the time piece to work. If forgotten, it will sleep until the next energy is put into it. And this is my first hand winding watch, as the first 3 are automatic winding watches.

Lamy manuscript pen




I like to write in ink. This pen is my latest addition. As the nib is slightly flat, it can produce the font in it's way. I was in Penang Muzeum, saw a handwritten words and they are beautiful. After the holiday, I was so eager to get a pen than can produce the similar results.
The pen is a Lamy, steel nib, measure 1.1 broadness. Got it at RM81.00
