Goodbye Masterpiece Grimlock!

Okay I have been busy doing some clean up on my toys. Last two weeks, it was Takara Transformers Masterpieces Grimlock. Too bad I have to sold for 70% of the value to the collectors. Still not bad and also lesson not to open expensive toy boxes for photographing. Otherwise I can still selling off more than 120% value today market.

The Masterpieces product doesn't seem to be worth buying and the designs does look cheap for some reason the more I continue to observe. The answer just hit my mind telling me better spend on Transformers Voyager series. They have better quality and design which even have more fun accompany by 3rd party upgrades. Even though my Grimlock doesn't have any issue or broken. But it just if something happen to the toys out from the new box, either broken and bad manufacturing parts then this will definitely hurt your selling value to the collectors market. To play safe with my spending, no more Masterpieces series in the future.

Blue Screen of death No More!

Took me a while deciding to buy new Kingston ValueRAM 2x2GB memory ram to replace my current Cosair 2x2GB brand. I don't remember when I last warranty it but their brand sure suck causing my PC auto restarting itself or crash during booting. I think about for years now. Back then the memory ram price jet up a lot so I tried keeping my spending low until my system die. I guess it's not possible as I believe my current gaming still can last for another two years or more before replacing whole new hardware.

There isn't any point of spending bunch of money on the PC upgrade when I can't even last ten minute playing many first person shooting games nowadays. My friend told me to tried out ginger tea before hitting the games. That only works extra thirty minutes or so and I’m entirely done motion sicking. Probably hitting old age so my body are too weak handling this kind of games. Sad hate to say.

I also purchase Cooler Master U2 Notebook cooling pad for my laptop at Netcom Computer Shop for B$33. Most of you probably would say why bother to buy such expensive notebook cooling pad when you could get less than $10?

Brand is one of the reason, they have been around in the industries and market selling computer cooling stuffs around 20 years. Secondly, the fans are replaceable and even removable to allow adjusting the cooling location for any laptops design. Thirdly, their fans have longer fan life expectancy. Lastly, the pad is made of aluminum!

Finally Mindwipe Join Up with Skystalker!

Phew! I am lucky enough to secure ROTF Mindwipe at eBay this month. The price is still good despite being so long. It sure does take me a while looking for the best price as possible when Headrobots announced Darksol upgrade for it. The price suddenly jet up so best to grab fast while the price just $10 more expensive.

Even though the work is still in the early stage but that excited me and can't wait to grab it. It just looks fantastic. Now Skystalker can dock with Mindwipe without being alone.

Training Freshman

Never thought I would reach at the age of teaching freshman at works. Although it just started last month. I'm not too quite happy about and have that kind of patience on teaching. Its not like too stingy passing my skill, but not so sure if IT Technician require to teach when plenty of the guides and tips can be found on the internet nowadays. Also depending how you adjust and make good use on the field.

Now, how does the freshman doing? Headache is the only word I could describe at the moment. Yes, anger does go up these past few weeks. My colleagues are much more angrier and ignore him in the end. For me, I can't and it's my responsible to guide and teach him at work. It just unbelievable challenging to teach when he is twice forgetful than me and disrespectful towards seniors. Still the biggest problem I never face is such young person being forgetful and unwilling to learn properly, even think logically when assigning simple tasks to complete when few minutes work becomes more than hour.

I tried my best to give him the software tools, assisting him solving problem and guides so whenever he forgets can look back. He just choose not to referring back even asking me the same questions ten times and continuously making mistakes doing the same tasks. How can this possible is beyond my understanding and making me like teaching a robot.

The other departments already started unhappy about his performance completing the jobs. I had to find ways to solve that and help him before the probation over. Either he will face another extra three month probation which I would suggest or face much crueler by terminate him. I don't want that to happen but the decision always to himself how he wants to play this story. Tomorrow I am going to talk to him and tried understand if there are better ways to improve his skills before the deadline next month.

Lego Agent 2.0 Aerial Defense Unit–GET!

HA! I went to brought the Lego Agent 2.0 Aerial Defense Unit (8971) set yesterday when after seeing at the KB local toy shop offering damn great deal on Saturday. I can't turn down this B$115.90 price and not to mention cover with plastic seal.

Nowadays this set already cost twice and triple if you plan to get online. Well, of course at eBay. Quite lucky I am no one yet grab this set while I done some survey and calculating for the original market price. It was a dangerous move delaying purchase this 2009 release Lego. So I guess best to prepare a list of the pricing and keep into my phone to making better choice. LOL!

I also grab another two more mini-fig and a brick removal tool. I have been looking for that so long and happily grab one without holding back.

End of April 2012

Considering this is a late last minute shopping in the local store. I decided to grab some paints but instead just two Lego Mini Figure series 6 and a Tamiya primer. My stuffs are currently on the way so I need this primer to do some work for me. I didn’t buy much since today the last day of April. I best save a bit and begin my shop fest tomorrow.

Yesterday I also done some old Gunpla stock that I left over. Well, it’s Mr Bushido actually. Since I got Smultron cheap at HLJ last order, I plan to rebuilt and do some mixing into Shogun. It is still in progress so I decided did some blurry image until final mixing phase. BTW, the Kotobukiya claw sword does suit well with Shogun.

Anyway, before I head off. The two series 6 I got from inside are Alien san and mechanic.

Another Fuck Up from HSBC Seria

I simply just can’t believe it yesterday went to get my card at Seria branch. That bitch from last week told me the current card I holding is cancel. After getting the card from another counter, she told me this one is actually cancel. I was filling with crazy rage and like what, again?

She runs a double check and verification. SPAM! It was indeed an old card that was actually report lost and delivers back to their main HQ. This mean the one I am holding actually a real card instead of cancel and lost one. Wow, that just wow and unbelievable I was fool again for another week.

How could they even possible make such huge mistake when there is computer assisting her with real time update on customers account information? The funny thing the girl that serves me telling me it could be late system update. Completely bullshit, that is the worst excuse cannot agree on and fucking won’t work on me. If that is only one or two days, maybe I will buy it on the delay updating. But for one week the HSBC system never had an update on the correct customer’s information? Only children would believe that kind of story.

That bitch really sure lucky that the counter number didn’t pick me yesterday. Otherwise she won’t get away from the rage complains I plan to blast at her face and call the manager for big explanation. How dare she play games with me and unable to difference between which is the real card in the first place.

I’m not going to risk mentioning the name here. These cunts already trouble me for more than three weeks. Do note that apparently that bitch is well known making mistake and fuck up numerous times on customers services from what my friends had told me. If that bitch fucks you up, then you know who she is. IN SERIA FUCKING HSBC BRANCH!!!
