this was what I actually purchased at this years PIKOM PC Fair. This is probably the most I will ever spend at the PC Fair for quite some time. Well I'm too lazy to post a full review of the things I've bought today (might save it for another time) but yeah, here are what I actually bought:


Lenovo IdeaPad Y460 (with 10 free gifts)
Razer Orochi
Razer Kabuto
SATA Cable

and erm... more photos I guess lol.





Not exactly sure when I will do the review, but hopefully it will be soon. Also sorry that there were not much unpack aging pictures cause I was too impatient to wait and couldn't bother to take the picture lol.

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. =)

Hahahaha... its kinda funny and unexpected ya know? My parents have never changed their TV in like over 20 years lol. Of course, we did get new TV's for the living room, for our other house as well as for my room (hehe) but wow... never thought my parents would get this new Sharp LCD TV in my entire life!!

I mean, honestly I never thought my parents would get an LCD TV that is relatively new on the market. My dad always said he was gonna buy one, yada yada yada but always been put off by the price, or that I kinda begged him not to buy it just yet and stuff, haha. So yesterday during lunch my father just (randomly at that) suggest that he wanted to buy a new LCD TV later that day. Didn't knew he really mean it!!! So that night we went to Subang Parade and bought the TV after some consideration. But I got to tell you, it wasn't cheap whatsoever... (at RM5699, of course its not!)

But whatever it is, me and my parents can't be any more happier getting a new TV and just in time for the 2010 Fifa World Cup as well, hahahaha...

Another pic of the TV from the side. Probably not the thinnest of LCD TVs but still looks heck of a lot better than my parents old tv lol.

Oh yeah, my recently bought new headphones. Its a Audio-Technica ONTO headphones, gonna replace it with my iPod earphones which doesn't look like it anymore (all the rubber came off and I had to put bandage on the jack) but still usable after all the abuse I put it through, haha. Haven't tried testing it yet but hopefully it will be soon. Not gonna write a review for it though since its a bit "cheap" hahahaha... (bought it for RM30, original was about RM100+) Hopefully though, it will last a bit longer than my SteelSeries Siberia. (had to be exchanged when the left side suddenly stopped working. Luckily it was under warranty...)

Okay, nothing left for me to say other than. ZOMG I'VE GOT A NEW HDTV IN MY PAERNTS ROOM. FULL HD FTMFW...

LOL, over 9000 joked failed. Yes, I mean finally I've got over 10k songs on my iTunes now. But yeah, I'm not bragging or anything as I'm sure there are people who has way more music on their computers than I do, but this is an achievement that I never thought would happen when I first got my iPod a few years ago.....

Well I mean really, when I first got my iPod Classic 160GB my brother and sister told me that I just wasted my money buying it and will never fill it up. But somehow over the years I managed to collect and fill up my iPod with so many different songs from many genres and almost listen to something different everyday. (well, until I got addicted to J-core and hardcore dance music. Doesn't mean I don't listen to anything else though) So like yeah, maybe for a normal person 10k would probably be too much to listen to but for a music addict for me even this is not enough. There is still tons of music out there I would love to listen to and if I have the chance even to buy the CD!

Yeah yeah, certainly none of this would've been possible if I didn't have a bigger HD or an iPod. If I was still stuck using a CD player and just burning 1 album per CD, it would get me nowhere like where I am now. So yeah, thank god for technology. Also, that 10k on my iTunes is not exactly all the songs I have. Currently I have like 16k or so music on my hard drive, with like several hundreds that needs to be "sorted" out before I synced them into my iPod.

Well after almost a day of testing I guess its finally time for me to give my opinion on my latest purchase. As a fellow gamer and audiophile having a really good pair of headsets is really important, especially when it comes to gaming (and for music as well). I've been stuck using a cheap one for a while now since my Sennheiser wire were worn out and lost sound on the left side. Will talk about that later on another post but for now lets talk about this particular headset. As you can see from this picture above the Siberia is by far one of the best looking gaming headset out there. The "Special Edition Red" really does stand out than the normal black and white version. There were also one in "Iron Lady Pink" but it wasn't sold at the PC Fair, and could probably cost more than this one.



Having open the box, the Siberia does look a lot better out of the box than in it. Also the included were the matching volume control/cord extender and the separated microphone. I really liked that they made the microphone and headset individually instead of combining it together like most headsets out there, as sometimes the mic is poorly placed or just an annoyance. Also besides that there is also the instructions manual, stickers and a screen hanger (which I have no idea what is used for, thought it was for the headset but it was too flimsy) .

Here are several view of the headset:






Nice eh?


and finally a picture of the volume control and the microphone. If you noticed the mic is actually pretty long, think it was about 2 meters like that. Was really surprised it was actually that long, but it didn't matter though. The mic also has a clip which could clip on your shirt or on the headset wire, could probably clip it almost anywhere I guess. Okay, lets now move on to the performance of the Siberia.

After using it for almost a day I am really happy with the performance, considering how well it looks it perform just as good! The Siberia was really comfortable to use with the big and round headset design as well as the fact that you don't need to adjust the headset to suit your head size which is really a plus for me. The Siberia also does well when it comes to sound canceling, with me not being able to hear anything apart from my music or video games lol. But that is to say it is nowhere near as good as my Sennheiser unit, which almost completely blocks out the outside noise so much so I can't even hear myself speak!

Sound wise, the Siberia is build with gaming and performance in mind so you wouldn't expect anything less from it. Listening to several songs as well as playing Counter Strike just now I was really pleased with the performance. The sound quality is slightly more noticeable than the Sennheiser and have a more surroundsound feel to it, which makes listening to music and playing video games more enjoyable. Although with that said, some improvements could be made to make it better. Not to say it is bad or anything, but after using a Sennheiser I really have some problems trying to use another brand other than Sennheiser.

With the good points being taken I want to get to the more disappointed bits about this headset. First of all the one thing I was really upset about was the length of the cable. At 2.8 meters it is really far short compared to the 4 meter cable that I got for my Sennheiser. That is actually 2.8 meters with both the headset and the volume control. The headset was only at 1 meter, while the volume control adds another 1.8 meters to the length to the cable. It also means that the volume controller most of the time would be dangling on the floor when I'm using it on my computer, which is the one thing I must try to avoid doing in the future. The second problem would probably be, how long would this thing last? Well I have to admit I did destroy a lot of my headset over the years, and the cheap ones wouldn't probably last a year. My Sennheier almost laster a few years before the cable got worn, but the headset itself was pretty much okay even after I dropped it on the floor a few times. I will try to take care of this as much as I could, but tripping over the cables could still happen one way or another.....

So thats about I guess, can't say more about the Siberia. You would just have to test it if you want to know how good it is. As for me, I think it is okay and would probably be a steal since I got it cheaper than the list price but overall there are probably much better headsets out there than this one. Maybe they are not made for gaming, doesn't look as nice or even have a microphone included but the do however provide better sound and build than this. Not going to give much of a verdict but here it is anyhow after using it for 1 day.

Overall I would give it an 8/10. It is good, but like I said there are probably others that are better than this, especially Sennheiser.

Well just felt bored and wanted to show my gaming mouses lol. The Logitech MX-518 (which I got a newer version after my old one got spoiled) and the Razer Boomslang C.E. Actually these were taken about a month or so ago, but was just too lazy to post it up. Both mouse do feel great and serve its purpose when it comes to gaming. Although I do have to say the Boomslang is a bit hard to use if you have a small hand, but the left and right click feels more comfortable (and responsive) than the MX-518 and has the well known Raser Synapse on-board memory. On the other hand though, the MX-518 is better suited for right handed gamer (like most of us) and is much more easier to setup than the Boomslang.
