50mm PARNIS watch

I just can't recalled what pushed me to go bidding again. I was in eBay and seen a watch

then I realized I was putting my price for the wristwatch. The best thing is that I started only when there was about 3 hours left for bidding the wristwatch. Now I know why I started the bidding. Actually I wanted a wristwatch with diameter of 50mm. It is huge on my wrist. The one watch I don't have in my collection.

In the past, I never got myself to commit on it. So made a move, now got it. It has a good finishing. Actually I am amazed with what I see.

Just love the way it look.

Penyet Express

I was having a lunch on one Monday last week. Mmm.. *salivating*.. yummy.. Okay, stop drooling, I told myself. Start selecting the packages that is offered on the menu. Took something with all beef on it. And I received a number for a start, 24 on a plastic stand. As usual when I am in a Indonesian food outlet, I will look for Indonesian famous pack tea. 'Teh Botol' soon listed in my order list.

After some tossing head around, at time with frozen head and eyes riveting on something. Ta da.. came my meal. Plate of white rice. Pitty they don't do coconut milk rice, what the Indonesian call 'nasi uduk'. I really missed it, when I was in Jakarta, the 'nasi uduk' comes with fried onion. The pack of tea arrived with a corner nipped. And also a plastic mug with some ice in it. Took the straw and stuff it into the pack through nipped corner. No ice for me.

What I can say is the food is fantastic, the beef is tendered, no tendon it in. Meatball tasted good too, with strong taste of beef.

Chewing away to the end. Left the last meatball with some burn on it. Was wondering, if the black stuff on it will shortened my life. With carbon to promote cancer... ah.. what the heck.. bite and bite I go on the last meatball.. bam... seems it is rotten. The funny thing was I kept chewing, biting and *gulp* it went down the throat. I was hoping my system can help me to fight the rotted part.

My tummy felt uncomfortable, some what 2 hours later. Gas everywhere in the stomach. Tried to air it out. But it got worst. And the next in line, body felt achy and getting cold with hot body. FEVER. Ouch! Turn to bed early. Till today I am still having chesty cough. What an experience to begin with the new year.

SO lesson learned, do not continue the gluttony. I should be a better person than I am now.

Anyway the food is delicious, just have to be careful when eating. I am sure the tongue is able to tell us what is wrong with the food if any..

Tea Leaves

Tea drinking needs tea leaves. Tea leaves comes in many form. Mostly are processed. Compressed or as it is in shrunken form or each large leave is rolled into a ball.

As the above picture, all are compressed and it is still not 'open'. Even compressed tea have a few forms. Those I have seen are in big biscuit (as in the picture), brick and small bowl. Yup not to leave out the cone shape.

The tea is also classified into raw and ripe. After trying a few types, I am associating myself with the ripe tea.

Some may wonder, why that many tea biscuits. Does it expires? Nah, they can be kept many years. That what makes me start collecting it. Only will acquire them when there is a discount sales.

Next will wait for the discount sales, where I will grab the brick teas. There is one particular brick tea that smells wood.

HTC Desire HD

I was prodding myself to look at other mobile phone, after the sad news of Nokia N8. Been seeing HTC Desire HD since then. But can't quite place myself with it. As my current ringer is still functioning. The camera and video was not anywhere near the Nokia N8.

So what to do with this 4.3 inch screen. I know myself very well, that the new toys is not going to be in a marathon with me. New it maybe, that is all it is to me. Once used, it is just simply a phone for receiving and sending messages and also voices through and fro. And it is not any cheaper even after packaging with the data plan. Guess I will hibernate till the next one props up.

Hmm.. should I kid myself to have one... *devil*

--- Regreting now for not seriously go looking for it earlier. Every Digi outlet is not having any stock on this unit. *sobbing*.

Additional Tea Tools

From the last post about tea, I have bagged few more new items. 2 new clay teapots, 4 clay cups, 4 wooden cup trays, a clay tea mug, 2 tea filters and a self made tea scoop. The latest item tea filters and brown clay teapot was purchase on sales which took place last month. Sales on items with interest becomes a loot and quite addictive.

The tea drinking becomes a mundane activity recently. Just can't bring back the thoughts that triggered the start of tea sipping again, after being setback for awhile. Was rummaging the internet pages to understand the acidity, instead began reading the goodness of it. Besides, getting the knowledge of the right tea to enjoy at the right hour. This pushes me to maintain the unexciting daily event, but health is first.

So start one if you have not or have not been doing it lately.

Badminton

Started to indulge into my favorite sports in the middle of November 2010. Started with one racket that was with me since 1991. I became interested again when I realized the company I work for provided the facility. All I have to do is to bring my racket and shoes. Till to date I have own 5 rackets and given one away. Been using the latest racket just few hours ago. Actually never thought of getting the next racket, but was curious what others were using. After knowing the brand, went scouting the brand in the net.

Marked a shop and went there to check out the rackets. Got myself an Apacs Visible 2000.

Mean while my old shoe was bringing me to the brim of breaking my legs as the sole is loosed. Now that was definitely a good reason to save my legs. So I went to the net rummaging for a pair of shoes. Found an offer that free a shoe bags after discounted the price. Not sure if I got a good bargain. So I went out to get it. Before finally taking the shoe. I dropped by an outlet to check if better price opportunity was thrown in my way. Collected none, but put a hole to my wallet. All I knew in my hand was a racket Apacs Feather Weight 200. That was fast as the earlier new racket was used in a session only.

The horrible thing do happened, I was not satisfied, there was another brand caught my interest. That was the new racket I was using hours ago. While getting Oliver Organic 1, I went to deposit myself a new bag. As can be seen in the photo below.

There goes my rackets.
I get a new benefit from this, I save the expenses on the courts and shuttlecocks. The best is my body is renewed once a week.

Exercise with my favorite sports really makes me happy. Since I have just started I still get the sore in my arm and wrist. So once a week is good for me, so I can relax the sore.

So what sports are you doing?

Nokia N8

Disappointment crops up in me. Was about to dip my pocket for a Nokia N8.

And kaboom.. bad news..

Nokia N8 can goes dead.

The reason I was so looking forward for this mobile phone is it's capability to shoot good photos. For a famous name product, still there is problem plaguing.

Guess I have to psych myself to forget my intention.

Wondering how this brand name can produce defect products?

I was never interested in this brand earlier even though they are famous, as the toys are not sophisticated enough. Then came the N8, which got me interested.

Guess Nokia is never for me... hope Nokia have something new and as good as N8 or better.. and without problem.. else..
