Received my 12th paycheck. Meaning I’ve worked for a year already. Time flies
especially when I enjoy what I do at work. [XD]

By right, I should have at least $1000 or more of savings in my bank account.
But what I have left is an amount less than $50 every month. What’s new in my
room is a stack of Newtype USA
magazines, more manga, audio CDs and some figurines in my
closet, a powerful Athlon64 machine
and a comfortable chair. Mental note to do an inventory check and see how much
I’ve spent on my interests over the past year.

If only I had my own room, I would’ve bought some shelves, big table and a
sofa. If I had higher pay, I might consider installing an air-conditioner in my
room. It all boils down to money. Something I’m trying not to focus my life
on.

I might get a discman this month. It’s old but should be cheap. Audio quality
definitely beats MP3 players. My MD player can no longer record, a new MD player
costs $499, a good discman should be a lot less than $100. Recommendations
anyone?

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. [:)]
