Just went on an educational visit to the above mentioned place. It’s where a lot of fishermen come and place their catch for sale.

We reached at 1.30am, a group of 5, shopping for some meat for tomorrow’s birthday bbq. At this time, the fishermen were coming in one by one bringing in baskets and huge boxes of fresh fish and crabs. I had a chance to look at all kinds of fish. There were even weird yellow striped and huge snails.

By 2am, most of the stalls have their catch organized and ready to sell. Before the sellers from the market come in, we went around and bought kilos of baby stingrays, prawns and crayfish. Everything costs $107 including $2 for half a huge packet of ice. It’s nice to know they sell so much ice at $4 and 7-11 sells you a small fraction of that huge packet at $4. Then again, the ice we bought at the fish port are probably not healthy for consumption.

It is darn cheap I say. Buying straight from them fishermen.

Wow, this feels a bit freaky. I did a google search on my mobile number and guess what I got?

Edit: My number no longer appeared in that page. Google returned the results because it had a cached version of that page that still contained my number.

I’m a quality freak! Hate me if you will cos my motto is if the art is good, it must be appreciated at it’s best!!

Well, I’m just excited by the much better sound I’m enjoying on Kotoko’s Hane album. A whole lot better than the Variable Bit Rate MP3s I downloaded weeks ago. While most of you will definitely say it makes no difference, either you are a casual listener or you probably don’t listen to music as much as I did.

All I have left now is to get a pair of popular Panasonic earphones and another Creative Audigy sound card for my machine at work to up the pleasure another notch. [XD]

When listening to music, I go into detail. I had a problem listening to songs encoded with Sony’s LP4 mode for the minidisc. The sound is so “hollow” it makes me physically uncomfortable. I want to hear clearly, each instrument that contributes to the overall piece of work. My Sony earphones that block out external-noise has helped me with this.

Physics taught us that the human ear cannot hear sounds with frequencies beyond the 20Hz-20,000Hz range, but it never said you can’t feel them. This explains how in some movies, very-high frequency sound can be used to hurt people’s ears till it bleeds. This also explains why I find the sound of violin so soothing to my ears. Same goes for the human voice.

Since I listen to music/songs so often everyday, I feel I might as well take the extra step and let my ears feel the goodness too~

Lastly, I’m open to constructive comments/flame. [:)]

The CDs I ordered from Japan have arrived!!! [XD]

Even though it’s just 4 audio CDs, they feel extra special to me. [X)]

Over exaggerating am I? No. I’m just much too in love with Japan’s culture. [:D]

Today is the first anniversary of my company. It’s also the first day of a new staff, Martin (I guesstimate him to be in his forties), dealing with sales and marketing for my company’s partner. Everyone had a good lunch at Silkroads restaurant at Amara hotels. I had “Sichuan Tan Tan Noodles”. Very delicious, spicy but within my tolerable limits. [XD]

Martin is a funny person and he talks smoothly. He’s the first person from the office that made me laugh with his past office stories.
