There one thing about me is that I can’t stand knowing something that I own doesn’t work properly. I really want to get it fixed, and if can’t, I really want to get replaced.

I kinda lost track of when I bought my current all-in-on Brother DCP-150C printer. Well, it works like charm, with memory card reader, tray paper input and scanner. But just recently, something wrong with the yellow. I guess the nozzle got blocked. I tried so many ways of cleaning it, but to no success. Black, cyan and magenta works ok. So, I will give this to my brother. He’s quite a computer technician himself. Hope that he can fix the problem with the yellow on this printer. And whatever it is whether yellow will work again or not, this printer will be his.

Printer is so cheap nowadays, but not the consumables (i.e. the ink cartridge). I’m quite shock to see when I first bought this printer and using the supplied ink catridge, it only last for a very short of time, then the ink needs replacement.

But thank god there is CISS (Continuous Ink Supply System). This is one of the best thing ever created. This is the CISS that I got for this printer. Using this, you can you a RM15 per bottle ink, and it last really long. I’m a quite have printer user too, printing photos myself, and suprisingly, the ink refill that I bought long time ago still untouched.

So, it looks like that I need to get a new printer then. Touring around at Low Yat plaza today, I found this RM188 Canon PIXMA MP198 printer at All IT Hypermart. Can you imagine, all-in-one printer, with scanner and a good built costs only RM198?

Well, CISS is a must then. I bought the CISS for this printer too, and the shop will assemble it to your printer as well. Sorry, no unboxing process this time as the box has already been ripped at the store for them to take out the printer and install the CISS.

Here is the tank for the CISS, where ink to be refilled when its depleted.

3 new toys in the first month of 2010. Yay!

My sleep tonight is disturbed with my Penang friends arriving at my home at around 1:30am, but their arrival is something that I’m waiting since earlier. My friend got this from the company dinner. Not using it, he decided to sell this cheap for RM200. Well behold, my new Canon Selphy CP780 Compact Photo Printer. This will be a really good complement to my Canon EOS 40D camera.

The usual unboxing again. Here are the contents of the box.

And this is the printer unit itself. I still can’t do anything tonight. Got to get the specialized photo paper for this printer tomorrow.

It’s still the first month of 2010, and I got 2 new toys already (first one being Seagate FreeAgent Go Portable Drive) I likeee….

So, how’s your first day at work for 2010? Well, it’s rather a bad start for me. I’m on EL. LOL. Just not feeling well. I guess the sudden temperature change (it’s quite cold at Cameron Highland, and very hot in KL) and the sudden pressure change (my ears still feels the effect) make my system goes haywire. So, I decided to call for an EL this morning. Don’t feel like going to doctor as I will take existing medicine.

Who said that only girls use “shopping” as a theraphy? It can happen to guys too. Well, for me, it’s only one stop that will make me feel like in heaven – Low Yat Plaza. LOL. Since my portable hard disk crashed last Hari Raya Aidilfitri holiday, I yet to get a replacement. So, I’m getting Seagate FreeAgent GO 320GB together with the FreeAgent Go Dock.

Here are the contents of the hard disk box,

and here at the contents of the dock box. Kinda like the pouch that comes with the dock.

Here is the hard disk connected to the dock. Red and white color combination always work for me.

And here is how the hard disk on the dock looks like from the side.

Like I said previously, I like the carrying pouch that came with the dock.

I guess this is the very first new toy for 2010, with a total damage of RM268 ;)

Happy New Year folks! So here is the very first entry for the year of 2010. Me and a group of friends decided to spend the new year at somewhere cold – Cameron Highland – away from hustling and bustling of KL, away from traffic jam,

well, not really. Traffics at Cameron Highland can be as pack at certain area, especially at the Equatorial Hotel area.

We stayed at the usual place that we stay everything we are here – Villa Dahlia.

Bought carrom a few days before. So this is one of the main activity for the night.

Activities to do here pretty much the same as my last visiting – visiting rose, strawberry and cactus farm, tea drinking, visiting night market, shopping for fruits and vegetables, etc. So rather I’m blabbing about what I do here, just enjoy a few photos that I managed to snap. Decided to walk around with my 50mm lens this time.
