My Red Brick

Today my endorphin is at a high level, feeling euphoria a bit. During lunch hour today, I make my first move. I quickly finished off my stir fry compost Choy Sum and headed down and took the LRT rides until Hang Tuah. I walk off as quickly as my legs could carry me. I took the escalator and wait in line to buy my monorail ticket. I said “Berjaya return”. I was handed with 2 red colour tickets. I put it in my pocket together with my star LRT card.

This is the second time that I have taken monorail and each time I will grumble, why they do not integrate the transport system. If I make use of the 3 transport system which is monorail, star LRT and Putra, I will have 3 separate cards. Recently they have introduced touch n go card for star LRT and Putra. This helps a bit but it does not solve the problem, anyway back to my current post.

I went up to the platform and there are already quite a number of passengers waiting for monorail. I was thinking umm at this hour, still a lot of people going somewhere, to the same place and intend to do the same thing, umm impossible, what the heck I have waited for 2 weeks. The train arrives within 5 minutes; I went in pushing other "competitor" a bit , tighten my belt and was positioning myself in a comfortable position, when suddenly “Imbi Station” the speaker on top of me blares out, wow so fast.

It was a bit hot, I went out, straight down the stair case and walk straight for 100 meters and then make a left turn; I am already reach the side door, my hand reaching out pushing the door open, a strong cold wind gush forward cooling my face and body. I walk straight and headed straight for that person and I said “I want that thing”. He look up, his eyes a bit sleepy, umm probably still digesting his lunch, “Huh”, I said “The zen, how much? And got discount?”, the rest is history.

I am still charging my zen now, I have listen to the radio, its quite ok but not so clear. I will wait for it to fully charge before I upload my CD collection. I guess I will be staying up late tonight..playing with my new toy, my red brick.

My brick pumping the juice and with its accessory like earphone, adapter (ala IPOD) and remote control.

My brick switch off and switch on with glowing blue...

forget your cd collection. You should discover the magic of mp3 blogs and download a couple of dozen everyday.

so far so good. The touch pad need to get used, once you get the hook of it then its almost the same as IPOD. My wife is using IPOD photo and I used it for couple of days so I can compare. The sound is better than IPOD, I am not sure its because of the earphone or the player itself. Of course it has an additional function which is radio but I could not get a good transmission on the move. It was ok when I was at the office. Another thing is that it allows you to delete the songs from the player itself. The only thing is 6GB storage is too small for me. I am now deleting unwanted songs..
