CHROME MESSENGER BAG
Messenger bags designed for the long haul. . .

I've been using my le coq sportif sling bag for quite a while and I think it's time for a change.
I came across this local blog which is selling Chrome messenger bags.
They have a parent site where you can find other brands of messenger bags as well (eg. Timbuk2).

Chrome Messenger Bag
size: Citizen
color: Grey/Red Stripe
dimension: 22 x 11.5 x 6 in.
volume: 1400 cu. in.



Its unique usage of the seat belt buckle and seat belt material as part of the strap makes it stand out from the typical messenger bags you'd see on the streets nowadays.







I'm throughly impressed by the EVA foam padding in the shoulder strap.
No matter how heavy the cargo I have in my bag, it doesn't cause any discomfort while carrying it.


The weatherproof liner is independently suspended within the bag, keeping the contents of the bag totally shielded from any outside elements.


Small pockets and zipped compartments just under the main flap for quick access to your regularly used items.


A total of 9 compartments for your everyday things.




Having some fun at Lasalle :)
Props to probro for helping me with the shoot.

It seems like my post is heavily adored by my brudders probro and 12inch bro.

BROOKS ADRENALINE ASR
All the previous pairs of running shoes which I've bought using the last of my SAF's e-mart credits have disintegrated.
Not due to frequent wearing but due to the lack of wearing, LOL.
Their rubber soles simply came off after a day of wearing them.
This is a common problem with most unworn shoes whose soles are glued on.

I'm doing IPT recently and discovered that I don't have any proper running shoes.
I wore some of my sneakers for the first few lessons and ended up going home with sore heels.
Pity I didn't have any e-mart credits for me to buy the SAF running shoes.

Sportslink would be the alternative for me to get some decently priced and acceptable running shoes.
Some brands I had in mind are Diadora, Lotto and Brooks.
I settled for this pair of Brooks as it was on sale. :)
$49.90.

iTouch 8GB
(Not by Apple......)

I bought it from yahoo auction.
The 8GB model goes at $159 with some freebies.
Then you are entitled to buy the Sennheiser CX300 @ $35.


The freebies: screen protector + pouch + silicon case


As usual, the box art is a grief misrepresentation of its Made in China content.


Standard stuff: charger + data cable + crappy earphones


Features/Specifications:
- 2.8" QVGA (High Resolution) TFT Screen
- Touch Screen Control
- Expandable Memory Slot (miniSD card)
- Built in Loud Speaker
- Up to 15hrs long play time
- Built in FM Radio
- Supports 12 Multi languages
- 7 Equalizer Modes
- Photo viewer (JPG and BMP)
- Audio/Video Support: MP3/WMA/WAV/AVI/ID3 Tag
- Reads .txt files
- MIC Recording
- FM Recording
- Hi-Speed USB 2.0
- 3.5mm earphone jack











Some praises about the iTouch:
- it's small and light weight
- the radio function is intuitive & easy to use

Some complains about the iTouch:
- not a seamless transition from track-to-track(ie. you can hear an abrupt cut-off of the music in between tracks)
- the internal battery is not mounted properly(you can feel it sliding around inside the player if you shake the player slightly)
- recovery from "HOLD" mode is slow (the display of the animated lock is a tad too long)


The Sennheiser CX300
(in-ear headphones)
I was quite skeptical about it's authenticity as it was quite cheap.
I did a search online and learnt how to identify the fakes.
Upon recieving it, I inspected it and verified that it was the real deal.
