Just got back from Macau, spent a day at the Wynn Hotel. A very good hotel. Unlike the other hotels which are tastelessly designed, covering everything with gold and having models walking around the lobby, Wynn is so elegantly designed. Love the lights in the main lobby.

Checked in and went up to my room.

Forgot to [...]

I got myself a matte screen protector (anti glare screen protector) and love it. The screen is now smoother to touch while finger prints and grease won’t show. This is a must have for iPod Touch and iPhone.
Before and after pictures to demonstrates its anti-reflectiveness:

Apple has released the firmware 2.0 for iPod touch or some time already. The new firmware include the iTunes App Store which allows you to download applications for the iPod and iPod touch. I have pwned the 2.0 firmware with Pwnage Tool.
Pwning the iPod Touch allows you to download even more third party apps through [...]

I exchanged my Mighty Mouse as my previous copy was unable to scroll right. Not only the problem persisted, it got worse. I was able to scroll to the right while applying pressure on the scroll ball.

Heard so many good things about the Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse from Hayashi, decided to get one myself.

Usual Apple quality. Well designed by Apple in California, not so good assembled in Malaysia (or China). Apart from a cosmetic flaw at the bottom, my copy also can’t scroll to the right and I’ll get it exchanged [...]

The Lamy Safari fountain pen is the most recommended entry level pen, selling for HKD 220 (~USD28). I’ve began my quest for the right fountain pen when I got [...]

Went to MUJI today to buy something for Hayashi and see what I can get. Bought quite a few things.
I got Hayashi a MUJI fountain pen and an aluminum pen case. The fountain pen looks very sexy. Aluminum barrel, rhodium plated nib. MUJI only released the pen in fine nib and provided only black ink. [...]

It’s about time to stock up stationary. I’ve been using the Rhodia notepads and love the paper. Now CitySuper carried Rhodia Black notepads and they look wonderful.
Hayashi sent me some Moleskine notebooks and they are great. Minimal and functional. However my Parker Vector roller ball pen feathers and bleeds a lot on Moleskine paper. After [...]

Five months since my previous post. I’ve just bought a new MUJI cabinet and my desk looks quite different.

Got a black dealer chip from Hayashi. Two Baileys bottle. A refill bottle filled with diluted rubbing alcohol. Changed the photos. Close up of the cabinet below.

The cabinet came with dividers so I could keep my stuff [...]
