Mercenaries 2

Chanced upon this great sale item @ Hereen HMV today. I've gotta say at S$ 24.95, this has got to be my cheapest PS3 game (less those I've bought from PS Network) ever bought, considering the normal price of a PS3 game cost between $68 - $89. Like any other seasoned shopper, I wouldn't give up such as great bargain right?

Ice Cream, Donuts & Sackboy



Udders Ice Cream. Had no idea that Mike was gonna bring me & Phyllis here but I would rather he treat us instead ha ha. Never heard of this place before. It's along Thomson Road, near Novena MRT. Gotta say it's a nice little cosy place and their liqueur-flavored ice creams taste great. I ordered the Orange Choc Bitters & Tira-miss-u, serving on a waffle. I'm so coming back again.

Am also a sucker for all things donuts. My fav was from Donut Factory but since I was at Plaza Singapura, decided to get from Missy Donuts instead of heading to Suntec for Donut Factory.

Donuts!

Last but not least, something cute to complete the day. Finally decided to buy Little Big Planet and see what the fuse is all about. Though not Mario, a google search revealed that Sackboy is popular in it's own right.

PS3 Official Bluetooth Headset

Left office @ around 5.45pm, the earliest in the past 3 mths I think. Since I had time to burn, decided to shop around and managed to hoot this slick looking PlayStation 3 Official Bluetooth Headset.

Had been thinking of buying this since it was announced that this headset would be bundled with Socom: Confrontation. I just bought the headset w/o the bundle coz Socom for the PS3 did not really interest me coz it's only mulitplayer online + read couple reviews that the server is not really that stable, only like 7 maps available and overall, the game got bad-average review.

I've paired and play around with it for a bit and honestly very satisfied with it. My initial review:
- fast & easy to pair with my PS3
- paired with my Nokia E71, no issue so far
- sound quality is suberb
- doesn't take long to charge
- doubled as a desktop mic when in cradle (also while charging)
- High-Quality (HQ) mode (which works only on PS3) offers noise cancellation. Good feature especially when having a chat in-game when ur team-mates
- Also, PS3 displays info such as connection status, battery level and speaker volume level.

I should be using this exclusively for my PS3 gaming.

Nokia E71 Leather Case

Decided to get a good quality leather case for my Nokia E71. I had enough of those casings (see below). This is my 3rd set of casing which suffered the same problem - cracks at the top hinge area. I've been using this casing for bout a month now tho' only 1 side (left) cracks. But when the right top breaks off, that was it.



A nicer fit, better quality all-round and chio chio looking leather case for my E71!

Some updates + Killzone 2

Last day of the month, Saturday.
I was at client's place since morning to go thru' outstanding issue and to sort out the financial statement since morning till ard 6pm. Really sucks to work full day on a sat instead of my usual sat routine of waking up late, slack, gaming, chill out and/or watching soccer wif frens while having couple of ice cold beers.

Feeling damn tired today coz i reach home around 2am and felt asleep on the couch only to wake up this morning and head off to client's place. Which is why my shoulder n neck hurts the whole day.

Oh, have to mention this. Went to Marina @ Keppel Bay last night (my first time there) to chill with my fellow auditors. Everything - the clubhouses, atmosphere,etc looks and feels classy, romantic and relaxing. We settled for our dining and chilling session at this area (i think it's called prive or something) which is like damn relaxing and romantic tho' a little too dark for my preference.

Back to today. I finally managed to collect my Killzone 2 preorder that was released 2 or 3 days ago. This next big thing after Street Fighter IV. Seriously no time to head down to the shop to collect coz ppl close shop around 9pm, but I'm like working till 11 or 12am this past week. Good thing the shop reserved my copy for me, being a regular customer. Good deal, good price, good customer rapport + free poster!


Actually, all thanks to Steph and Mag jio-ing for dinner n movie just when I was bout to leave client's place for home. Sleep deprived lately. Wanted to watch The Legend of Chun-Li but not released yet. I blame Yahoo! SG Movie site for this coz they published the released date as 27/02/09 but hello? dun have leh... next choice, Marley & Me - too late. I actually wanted to watch Role Models but again, too late and too shag. Give up. Then, the plan was to chill at Timbre but again, crowded. Damn sian, had to settle for some arcade fun and coffee at Starbucks.
