[2GB]

finally I get to exchanged that hynix lj ram yesterday afternoon. Was told that the shop will be opened from 11am-2pm instead o f 12-3pm, so I went at ard 11 and reached just about b4 12. Ms Kim was nice enough to reserve a pc of samsung ram for me cos she remembered I did not have any problems with the samsung ram I bought from them. Initially, I was told I will be given a pc of no brand OEM ram.

I was also given some nice prices of a lacie 20X external dvd writer and iWorks08. Shld be getting the external dvd writer next month if nothing goes wrong since the iMac's superdrive is known to be sucky. Anyway I had lunch at SLS's basement, not a bad place, the chicken rice looks good.

Installed the ram the moment I got home and everything seems to be working ok. And I ordered 2 games!! ryu ga gotoku (PS3) and metriod prime 3-corruption Jpn version (wii).

Oh on Thurs I also bought a pair of inear phones, Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 studio. I wanted to upgrade my shure E2C and initially I thought the new model SE210 might be a good choice since it is supposed to be better. When I auditioned it @ Jaben (in Adelphi, which is a nice place with a nice uncle Wilson), it sounded like.....so muffled, infact it sounded worse than my E2C. Even with the earphone amp and other ear tips, it did not sound impressive. I actually left the place cos Uncle Wilson went out for dinner but as I was going down, I saw him going up, so I went up again and explained to him why a supposedly higher end model SE210 does not sound as good, anyway, he suggested me to try out other brands, UM1 I tried b4, not impressed, UM3, hell yes but the price is not impressive.

Then he suggested me to try Super.fi3, wow! the soundstage is amazing! Good midtones, sweet highs and nice toned lows. It almost sounded like a dual driver earphones when it is only a single driver! Anyway, the price is good too and comes with a free amp ($88, out of stock now, have to collect it later) and a ipod dock to connect the amp to the ipod. But the different way of wearing it does need some getting used to.

At Jaben forums, I read a fantastic review about this pair of bookshelf monitoring speakers, ESI, nEar 04. The price is good too and also comes with a DAC at a discounted price, just wondering if i should get this to replace my 4+ yr old altec lansing.

And if i manage to save up enough this yr, I shld be going to Jpn for tour.

--somethings @ work are not worth mentioning zzzz
