I’m now officially Crumpler-fied

  

Long long time ago, I heard my bro say that he wanted to buy a bag.

A laptop bag, he said. To store and protect his laptop wherever he went.

At that time, my firm belief was to use the bags that CAME WITH the laptop, i.e. if you bought a Dell laptop, you get a Dell bag. Or when you buy a Sony laptop, you get a Sony bag.

 

That means Free lah. I’m a cheapo like that :D

And then I saw bro’s bag…

Crumpler ‘The Moderate Embarrassment’.

 

Then I saw his 2nd bag…

Crumpler ‘The Hee-goer’.

For such a silly name it sure looks good for a bag, and it’s pretty strong too.

And I have this Mount KK trip that’s coming up in less than 2 weeks time, and I look for my bags….

For a minute, try to ignore the silly look on my face and the pose, but look at the bags. One is an Uncle-type camera bag, and the other, a small day-sack (not obvious), that I brought up Gunung Datuk with Desmond in February. One’s on my back, and the other hangs by my side.

 

I remember that the climb was all fine, until the part where I had to climb up a ladder while squeezing through a small crack between two rocks.

 

I got stuck. Something in my mind told me that it’s terribly not normal that I should get stuck. I mean, the fatter Malay aunties before me got through, so I bloody should too! Imagine me with a slightly distressed look on my face..while the fatty (and heavier) aunties look down at me with the wtf face haha.

Red arrow : marks the Stuck Point. Even Desmond’s got that smirk on his face as if he already knew I was gona get stuck. The bugger.

 

Anyway, it was the camera bag that was hanging by the side that got me stuck. Very bad idea lah, to carry two bags.

 

So, I’m determined not to let it happen again. So, like my previous post said, today I went to KLCC with EGo to the one and only Crumpler shop in Malaysia.

The Customary Barge that stores Laptop + Camera + other stuff. A bit big but I guess that’s how backpacks would look. Right? ……Right? ^^

 

Anyway, I’m a very happy man now…new toy yeah!

 

I was so happy that I decided to go binge-eating with EGo and Leowazza at Jln Alor coz I didn’t get enough at Penang. Tonight’s was Satisfying as hell :D

 

Tomorrow’s Advertlet’s Genting event, who’s going? Free transport + makan + show + couple room. What could be better? (besides free casino chips) lol. Can’t wait to hang out with the blogger kaki again :) Renee I’ll see you there! We’ll find a spot where they have Tandoori chicken a’ight!

 

Sneak preview : more Penang pics leaked…

 

 

Note : I don’t condone / discourage homosexuality. But Sam really loves David Cook ahahahaaaaaaa.

Photo credits + patience waiting + post title thanks to EGo..!

 

Cheers!

Penang pics leaked!

I’m just done sorting out the huge collection of pics taken during last weekend’s Penang trip… phew!

I tell you…out of 1200+ pics i filtered it down to…300+! Not much of filtering, but I can’t help it.. the pics *ahem takenbyme ahem* were so nice there weren’t many rejected ones.

In fact, there’s no reason to reject shots like this….

 

 

 

 

 

 

All these Priceless Shots. Tell me, how to reject man? xD

I’m tempted to do a post on it too, but I’ll sleep at 4am again if I do that…and since I have no Sebastian to help me drive tomorrow, might be a better idea to post a little later, say within 2 days.

And instead of a full post, I’ll just split the posts into 3-4 parts. I don’t wanna get flooded with hate mail from readers whose browsers may crash due to pic overload lol.

So while you read about my tomorrow’s plans, why don’t you click here to get the Penang pics? all 300+ of them..very nice one gerenti!

I’ll be going to KLCC tomorrow after work to pick up something I’ve been searching for some time….

….you might guess it’s a camera / electronics but no it’s not.

….Though it does have to do with photography and preparation for my upcoming Mount KK trip….

Crumpler’s Customary Barge backpack designed to carry laptop + stuff + camera around. I likes.!

Sekelip mata saja I’ve fallen in love with it already. Especially when it means not having to carry two bags while climbing which can be quite a pain. So I’ll be headed down town tomorrow to check it out =)

And if I get it 2mr, I’d probably use it for this Thursday’s Advertlets’ Genting trip. I managed to persuade Psychkin to join me! ^o^ I’m particularly interested about the photo session with Jupiter the White Tiger..yes, my first camho session with a tiger!

 

I hear he’s quite tame. And…. he looks well-fed too, so I guess that makes it safe to stand near him without him trying to get a taste of me. We’ll find out when we’re there xD

2009 New Toy #1

I picked this up from Computer Exchange outside my house.

Introducing..........

Maxtor Basics External HDD with....

 

 

1 Tb of delicious storage!

Yes omg 1,000,000,000,000 bytes of files ermmm.....Pics, Videos, Movies, ermm yes VIDEOS.

Hehehe.

It's not very big, but bigger than most regular external HDD. That makes it a little bulky for travel, but ideally it's supposed to sit on your desk almost permanently and suck in whatever you feed to it.

 

1,000,000,000,000 man. One Million Million. I'm not sure if I should be this shiok, maybe this is a common household item in everyone's house now, but so many zeroes makes me happy like money can.

Surprisingly, it costs me only RM370. Very affordable, yes? The last time I checked, that was the price of a 200 - 300 Gb HDD.

Anyhow I was very happily filling it up with my junk then I checked properties.

 

 

 

Just take a look at the capacity. Only 931 Gb? If it's 999 Gb and they say 1Gb was taken up by system files I understand la. But 931 Gb wor.

I feel conned by Maxtor. 69 Gb la.

One small harddisk you know?

Anyhow I'm running out of ideas on what to do with the 840 Gb space left...

So I'm renting it out! Yes, who needs backup storage please contact me. VIDEOS and PICS content preferred! xD

 

Cheers!
