HBD 2009

Happy Birthday to myself~!
Enjoying a year older celebration with a too nice to eat cake.

Rolex Explorer 1

Men don't really have a lot of accessories like women so we should definitely pay attention to those few we do use. I have number of watches myself but Rolex Explorer 1 (114270) most often find its way on my wrist. The timepiece was very popular by its elegant yet simple and classic design. Ex1 has a good history too. Something about Everest expedition but what do I care as long as the watch is accurate and looks good on me.

Tank in the City

Not everyday that you see tanks running around on the street. There's one near my house too, which is really cool and disturbing at the same time. The bloody riot by "red shirt" protesters in Bangkok between Songran festival period is about to come to an end (for now?!).

The Touch 8GB

Just cheer myself up from bad days at work with the new iPod Touch 8GB(2nd Gen). I already own a Nano 4th Gen and it's well served all my basic needs but I decided it's time to expand my needs a bit. It is also going great with my Shure SE530 sound isolating earphones (also in the picture). I still can't figure out how they managed to squeeze 3 speakers in these tiny little orbs but the sound quality is superb. The PTH control for this model has a good, interesting feature but I don't think it justifies the extra 50 USD.
