Frustration Impulse

I've always wanted to get another console on top of my Xbox 360 plus Kinect, Wii and PC. So the missing link would be a PS3. I recalled encountering a second hand at an affordable $199.

Work was a bitch one day so I decided a little therapy by getting the mentioned second hand. Upon checking, the $199 was the first edition of PS3 which was the bulky one. There was the newer slim version at $269. The sales guy recommended me to get the new piece which is only $100 more with a 1 year warranty covered by Sony. After much consideration, I chose the new set as it has a clean memory unlike the pre-owned which I have to reformat to get it clear.

The ah-beng sales guy tried his luck to get me to a add in a bundle sale at $60 for a cooling fan, HDMI cable and a blue-tagged games. In total original would cost an average of $100 plus. There wasn't a game I need because most of them I've completed on PC or Xbox but found un-tagged Uncharted: Drake's Fortune at the same price as the blue tagged. He managed to put that in the bundle instead hence I accepted the offer.

My principle in games is that I should only buy games upon completion or near completion of a current played game. But I did encountered some difficulty attaining some back dated games. Not repeating that mistake, I've ventured out to find the true purpose of my PS3 gaming - Heavy Rain. Along the way, I've managed to find a pre-owned copy of Uncharted 2: Among Thieves.

Sadly, I have to put aside my purchase till I complete my current FFXIII-2 on Xbox. Then I have to re-arrange my entertainment center to place the latest addition. And not forgetting to find the time to play on top of my 2 months timeline to polish my Hangul, a few unread books on shelf, and possibly the start of school in July. 

To Collect Dust

With so many activities going on, I've little to no time to do the things that I love from reading to gaming to movies. Somehow I still grab them in view of unavailability of games and accessibility upon completion of current read. While the wait, poor things have to collect dust.

Gotten the books during my recent staycation. Like every vacation, a little shopping must be done even if they are books like what I've spent on during my KL getaway.

My luggage cracked during my return flight from Taipei. The luggage have been widely used for almost 5 years and have been to most places with me and some of my family. Occasionally over-packed for some of my trips hence the possibility of it giving way. Did I mentioned that it was bought in some funky shop in KL years back. Could be the other factor. LOL

So it's time to get a better quality luggage and found this striking American Tourister luggage from the Prismo series. I'll definitely spot mine on the conveyor belt.
