Second car for a more practical life

Well, the current 450HP is not very practical for lousy roads and trips up north. It a car that use to punk donkey up on the road

Taking delivery in Dec, the new harrier turbo at 160k is a steal compared to the current parallel importer offering. 227 HP vs 135hp is a no brainer and the official agent version come with 7 year warranty that include suspension. Get yours now.

My version will include the Rojam Kit from Japan....a must have

anniversary gift for my wife

Secured in auction.

Truffle butter and fancy softdrinks

Are you still using butter for your spread? that was the question posed to me recently and i answered, " i use liver Pate' sometimes".  Ahemm...... " life is too short to not eat fine foods".... behold the truffle butter. Made With real truffle and not the artificial flavor truffle fries where losers gulp down in hipster cafe. 

I am thoroughly impressed with my friend recommendation, he gave me a small sample bottle and the taste was divine. Like the first time i tried blue cheese as a teenager, you either close your eyes in disgust or close your eyes in pleasure. The same could be said with this truffle butter.

So i like to share it with you here this recommendation! to top it off, i am recommending an upmarket craft soft drink to go with whatever you are gonna eat with that spread.

New Semi Auto Terrapin Habitat

The terrapin has got bigger yet again and this time i can no longer manually do the water change as that would mean carrying over 60kg of water each time i do so.

I decided to invest in a good quality flood pump (suck water from the bottom) and set it up to a drainage and water supply system. Further enhancement could be made with a timed switch to make the system automatic. i decided to go with the semi auto method for now.

$166 for a Tsurumi Pump. A japanese brand that is famous for reliability and produces all ranges of industrial pump. This is their smallest pump.

1. switch on the pump and let the filthy water drain.

2. flow in fresh water and drain until clean.

3. switch pump off and add fresh water

4. Happy terrapin!

My first gift of the year- XboxOne S

Wife bought me a gift and she knows me well.

Quality and high cost is not an absolute positive correlation in timepieces

Before one judge me as a sour grape, cheapskate and so on..... i have more than enough auction worthy- insured timepiece than most people and most likely the person reading and judging now....

Anyway for those who do not have deep pockets but have the passion for timepiece collection (eg. me 15yrs back).. Let me start you off with this watch i pick up in Osaka on my recent trip from the ABENO dept store.

Orient Star is a small watchmaker in Japan and is currently owned by Seiko. They still produced their watches in house by hand, they are the first to have their inhouse movement in japan and the workmanship remain excellent. you get real bang for your buck considering this cheap watch cost less than a strap change at Patek Philippe.

This version i have is a Japan domestic model with limited production, no exports. Have a 40 hr reserve, in house exclusive movement, automatic and self winding, sapphire crystal for both front and clear caseback and pressure tested for 300m diving use and it not marketed as a diver watch. cant resist!

beware some website who claim to sell the make at absurdly cheap price, these are refurbished set with non original parts. absolutely rip off and no resale value and the worst part is you paid for function rather than heritage and movement not matter how cheap.

Happy Anniversary for Me and Her

Its happy anniversary time yet again! Gifts for me and her and it was a bargain!

Wireless charging upgrade for iPhone

Having gone through some starbuck outlet with Wireless charging, i decide to upgrade my charging option with Samsung Fast Charge wireless dock. Now i got 2 in my room, 1 in the living room, 1 in the car and 1 in the office. 5 for around $480. A steal, compare to the convenience it provide.

And i added a new iPhone 7 plus 256 GB for Xmas. courtesy of a service commitment like 95% of iphone users worldwide. If iphone was sold as standalone with no subsidy, the sales figure probably drop 30% worldwide. With subsidy, my iphone is barely the cost of a decent meal.

Of course, the camera of the i7 is fantastic, i will be using it for my honeymoon
