Laughing at my own stupidity ..
Friday. 5.9.08 7:12 am
Months ago, I made it a notion that my senseless figurine buying spree must come to an end for the better of my life. And for the first time ever, I realised my inner promise.
Three days back, while cringing in pain, I finally meet up with one of my other "visual aesthetics hobbyist" friend and passed on(sold) my Lucky Star receipt to him.
This well thought decision certainly did cause some mental discomfort for me, as those Lucky Star nendos will easily be one of the best I could include in my collection.
Nevertheless, it was a huge relieve to throw that $90 worth of burden onto the ground. At the same time, I received back the amount that I made for deposit.
It's was a +$90 to my almost dried up wallet, and for the first time in weeks, I feel secured about my financial status.
Unfortunately things aren't that simple. During the meet up, a mini conversation about "auditory aesthetics" was brought up.
Please take note that I am just a fresh and innocent newbie to the local audiophile scene.
And being a brand new owner of a Shure SLC2 earpiece (which cost me a full hundred), I must say I am pretty contended with its performance.
Not to mention my last ear piece was totally shitty too.
So during the un-intentionally evil (yes fucking evil) conversation, the supposedly forbidden was mentioned.
It was the Shure SE530! The great one that uses of the triple tru-acoustic technology!
I know you don't know what I am talking about, but it's okay, I don't know what I am talking about too!
His verbal reviews on it alone smashed mine to the ground, and it seemingly made it as worthless as this blog probably is.
Being "young" and "naive" to the stereo scene. My initial thoughts are...
"That's bullshit! It's just fucking ear pieces! How in the blue hell can two buds that probably smaller than the size of my testicles be that great! HAHAHA! I AM THE KING!"
From that day onwards, I have decided. I need to hear it to believe it .. in fact ... I MUST!
Today, I made my not so convenient trip to JABEN, a local store for stereophiles. (google it lazy bums <_<)
With much audacity, I requested the testing of those "buds", still being oblivious to the grave consequences that I am about to face.
And after stuffing those candies into my ear canals ... I am in love!
Meh ~ I used to think that ogling at plastic female figurine was quite a loser-ish thing to do.
And wtfack, I am now smitten over buds that are comparable to the size of my testicles. Holy shieeeeeeeeeet dude.
Oh and the best part is, those buds comes with a shocking amount of almost $700 SGD!
For non-audiophile, you saw it right. It's seven-zero-zero Singapore dollars. No typos to be corrected
And after reading so much dramatic bullshit from me, my point is ...
Life is cruel. There are just too much temptations that we cant handle.
I declare that I am officially converted from being a "visual aesthetics hobbyist" to a "auditory aesthetics hobbyist"
In worse terms, from a otaku to a audiophile.
And in
WORST terms, from a fucking loser to a fucking geek.
Finally, as the title suggest, please laugh along with me at my stupidity. HA~HA~HA~HA ...
hmm... i also laugh at my own stupidity sometimes... because of all those japanese songs and idol craze... i somehow caught up in the frenzy of looking into the artists' photobook... and today i spotted aya hirano's latest fanbook. and i went crazy over it which i also don't know why.

To be honest, a lot of the time the white guys here are much more polite. We don't really have bullies...

Renaye: Aya hirano latest fanbook? Haven heard of it ...
Gotmilk: It's bad either way actually.
Randomjunk: Okay, sorry for stereotyping then.
