Some recent purchases...


Its not that I'm rich or anything, but I just like posting stuff that I buy and post it online lol. Well you could say that I'm a showoff or whatnot (maybe just a bit or a lot depending on how you see it) but really, its my blog and I can post whatever I want! Anyhow, these are just some stuff that I bought from Lowyat a few days ago.

So what are they exactly then you asked? From the left you can see the Belkin SurgeMaster surge protector (had to buy it after what happened a few weeks ago), a Sensonic DVD+R blank cds (10 pieces), a D-Link Ethernet PCI adapter (had to replace it since the one on my PC got strike by lightning), a 3.5mm jack extension, and of course the Logitech QuickCam S5500 (hopefully get to use once I get my internet working again). The Siberia headset is not really a purchase but rather, a replacement for my old one which got killed by bass, hahaha. (seriously, I think it was after I listened to Round Wave Crusher for an hour on OHR3 lol)

Okay, and then there was a purchase from today...

Yep, I finally got a pair of Macbeth shoes! Now I'm a part of the scene... *cough* *cough* (well apart from this I also bought some trousers but I guess that doesn't really matter now does it?)

Can't read? Then scroll down below...

Oh lookie here, whats that inside the box?

The poster does look pretty cool yeah? (okay, maybe it was a bit too obviously photoshopped, but who cares...) Oh yeah, the shoes itself...

Behold, the Macbeth Wallister. Yeah yeah, nothing great or limited edition but at least it looks cool and hip! Its a Macbeth after all...

and some more photos...




But I do have to say that, if I bought this with my own money I would have been well over broke and really have to be a vegan just to get my money back hahaha. But yeah, thanks mom. =)

New pair of kicks!


Earlier today I went out to Sunway Pyramid (again!) with the same friends as I did last week to buy something, and as I was looking to get a new pair of shoes I decided to get these. After looking at several shops and unable to find anything that is cheap and have my size I ended up settling on this pair of shoes from Puma.

To be more specific it is a Puma Drift Cat II SF (with SF being Scuderia Ferrari) and it cost me a hefty RM300!!! That certainly burned a deep hole in my wallet but considering that this was the cheapest shoe I could find for my size at that moment (there were others that costs over RM400) I just have to settle for it. So basically this is what I was talking about as a "driving shoes" yesterday on another post and what Puma called it as a "motorsport" shoes which is just primarily used for driving. Yeah sure I don't have a car yet and the car that I'm getting is not exactly anything close to going fast, but at least driving using this shoe would feel better that wearing a skate shoe or my crappy pair of Converse lol.

Actually maybe it doesn't make a difference to a normal person but to me (at least) when you have a proper pair of shoes that is just meant for driving you have better grip on the pedals, can pull of heel-toe downshifting much easier (yeah right...) and you can feel the power of the car and the bumpiness of the road on your feet, giving you better feedback over the control of your car. (Haha, I'm just making myself look silly by saying this. I don't think even actual race drivers are gonna say these to you people)

On the other hand, the shoe also does look quite nice and would make a statement that you are rich (which I'm unfortunately am not!) and that you are a passionate tifosi (yeah, but I don't pick favorites in F1 anymore) and also does show that you are interested in Formula One, motorsports in general, love for driving or just have a great taste in branded shoes. (all expect the last one I think) Also it is quite comfortable to wear (although I'm not sure how comfortable it is yet to wear on long distanced walking) especially for driving. Also it does make quite statement when you wear them (really?) and almost screams for attention. (and likewise, a primary target as being stolen)

Ehhhhh.... enough bulls*** already. I don't know f*** about this shoe nor did I even wear them yet (I just bought them, what did you expect?) so just look online for other peoples opinion on this shoe..... Also I do have to say that this is the most expensive shoes that I have ever bought 2nd being my Reebok shoe (forgot what it was, costs about RM240) followed by my Etnies Kingpin (which was about RM200+) so yeah, that is about it I guess.
