letting go... not?

Turning 30 in 30 odd days, I used to want to grow up so damn much but I miss my teenhood and refuse to grow up. The constant need to look at computer hardware when I barely able to game anymore and barely anyone there to game with too. Le sigh looking at all these specs and games and gears simply like a retired Rock Star looking at the street full of people selling crack...



Full water cooling PC with neon lights in the desk used to be a distant dream, now it's a reality. Solid Steel table with fiber glass going at S$1200 SGD

Then there was another dream,  the slightly more grown up dream of having a fanless HTPC, Home Theatre PC. Fan increases vibrations and vibrations are huge nonos to audiophiles, most of us stream music from PCs these days hence that new dream.


When owning a car became utter stupidity, getting the above became a necessity, money is not the factor, rationality is. When am I home? How long will I be home? How cluttered will these be and the dilemma repeats in endless loop...

Well the seat + Wheel will set me back S$1,000, the PC + PS4 would be easily S$2,500 with games, not forgetting the Sony 65" 4K but 1080p 120hz panel at S$4,000. This also clearly meant NO SOFAs in my living room and will not seat very well with my dad but it's my house anyways.

The dream house would need state of the art stereo, speakers the ATC SCM 40A quoted at S$10,700 a pair.




The Chord Dave DAC S$15,000 + cables and power conditioner S$500, sounds about right, excluding furnishing, toys S$20,000 budget for end 2018, another S$15,000 for paint job, simple carpentry shelves, a bed, dinning table and chair, balcony table and chairs.

Do I really need to go this far? Of course not, but why not????

Can't believe I actually took time to update and maintain our YEI Forum. Never knew I could be this crazy, but I know 1 thing for sure, it's never too late to start? But I'm really, growing too old for this. Ye Eun simply gorgeous! Credit: yeeun-impact.net / yeeun.wordpress.com And I blew up during dinner...
While caking, someone pop right into my head. Anyway, my top strength is: 1. Ideation: loves associating and providing ideas 2. Command: leadership, loves to put his ideas through 3. Futurist: star-trek 4. Individualisation: view individual base on strength weakness, not stereotyping 5. Learner: keen to learn In short, I'm a futuristic creative open commander! Sounds awesome eh? Strength Finder 2.0 is a book that only concentrate on strengths ($39.00) zero about weaknesses so all you hear are good stuff. ======= Individualisation Anyway back to my caking session. Mr Ibrahim, came to my mind. He was quite a good looking Indian back in my primary school days. I've always tried to protect him though I admit to join in bullying him once in a while. Sometimes he'd come to me "begging" to help him or lend him money with his hands in "praying mode". I took pity of him ever since he did that once and when he told me "All i got is 40cents a day and they sto

The Pioneer LX55 Bluray Player Review

Pioneer Corporations, once the leading company for Home Theatre Systems, Display and Optical players, began to falter when the likes of Samsung, LG, Sharp etc came into picture with lower end products for the mass consumer. Pioneer, who steer clear form the niche market, producing high end products, fell to it's knees, withdrawing from the TVs market and started a joint venture with Sharp, resulted in absolute catastrophe. Pioneer fanboys nicknamed the products "Sharpioneer" A bold direction, right or wrong, there's too much points to take, although myself would 200% standby their decision to continue with making highend products previously, even though they failed eventually. Anyhow, ever since that catastrophic "Sharpioneer" released, tons of consumers ditched their players within days of purchases, the management finally woke the FUCK UP. Director Product Planning and Marketing Pioneer USA, Chris Walker started visiting multiple online forums, gat
