New Apartment.

It was a hard month. Home alone, house in mess and no internet connection.

The first time I stepped in this new apartment, it's 5a.m. in the morning and in dark. Hong Hong told me to stay in airport until sun rises because there's no electricity in our apartment yet, but I just couldn't stay in airport any longer after sitting half sleep there for 5 hours. The apartment was darker than I expected. Luckily I've always bring along a torchlight which allowed me look for a place in the mess to rest myself. Opened up windows, I lied on the sofa and eventually fall sleep. That's my 1st day here...

It's really suck when you are alone in house and furthermore without internet. Here I have to give a very big credit to beloved Sony who decided to drop his PS3 price on a right timing which save me from infinite boredom. Haha... It's suck without internet, but it's fantastic with PS3! I'm really glad that I bought a PS3... XD

At first I was worried that here will be less convenient as it's a bit far from city center. But I was so wrong... This location is wonderful! Having tram station right in front with Melbourne City Circle that provide free transportation to city center every 10 minutes. Coles supermarket also just located only 100m away. How do I put it... As expected from Hong Hong who rent this place..

I'm glad that everything is fine, at least for now and with internet established. The rest I'll just wait until both my reliable housemates to come back. Let's have fun here!

**Apology for random Genie photo spam as header. XD It's a replacement because I can't transfer photos from my mobile. Want to change a new mobile asap!

Happy Birthday Genie!!!

Swiped it !

I swiped it I swiped it! Last night, I swiped this credit card with my signature for the 1st time in my life... Not spending a lot tho, just trial to see if it works. Haha, I know I had used credit card to buy tickets countless times oredy... But to swipe it in cashier does feel different.

Dunno out of what reason, my dad just applied me a supplementary credit card awhile ago. What? No... It's not usual in my family as I'm the only child to have this privilege. Bias? No Larrr.. =P

Definitely Not iPod =P

This is it! Finally a perfect Walkman for me. It had been 3 years since I wanted to upgrade a new Walkman when a button on my ex defected and unable to hoop between albums. That was my 1st mp3 player, and *ehem* was the world's 1st built-in noise-canceling mp3 player. After having that, I'm no longer interested in players without that function.

It's also the 1st with 2nd gen. bundled NC headphone.

So it took me to wait for 3 years until this 4th generation of NC Walkman with 2 major improvements that I longing for.

Large album art + Disney-free D-pad

Old walkman interface + Disney D-pad

1. Finally a sexy and "Disney Mickey Mouse"-free D-pad design. Try see older walkmans to what I mean...

2. Finally a change in walkman interface with large album art by knocking off useless information such as Genre and Release Year. This is extremely important for me as I really like to look at album arts when listening songs. (My roommate surely can prove this XD) Without this update, I'm definitely going to wait for another year.

However, the noise-canceling function is changed too in this model and it doesn't sounds like an upgrade. Original NC function will analyzes ambient noise and produce identical canceling waves. But this new version, so called Digital NC doesn't have the analyzing function. Canceling waves are produced with a range of amplitudes that can be adjusted by user. Still there is an advantage to this Digital NC too. For me heavy NC is slightly uncomfortable, so its actually good to be able to tweak the NC myself...

After the hype, now I finalize this player with 2 cons.
1. No File management in player. Means you cannot delete songs without connect to computer. This really suck!
2. Incomplete chinese characters support without changing the player language to chinese. Buu~
