This is my first entry into this blog, so I am just going to write something about the last three days ... well, actually nothing much has happened to my life (which is as simple as I know how to make it -- give credit to my Zen teachers, haha!) ...

Well, here goes nothing ...

1. Bought a brand new "MTV/MP4/REC/FM" player that has 1G flash memory and is about the size of a credit card or matchbox ...
       It's lighter than a matchbox that's full of matches but slightly heavier than a credit card. Brand is something called SOYU, but these players are now so commoditised (like the PC) that I don't want to pay "top dollars" just to buy a so-called branded item ...
       This way, I get to test several makes of players with the money that would have gone into just one "branded" player. Price of the SOYU player: S$210.
       Still testing it to see how well it really plays audio and video files, as well as graphic stills (images) and text files, and how long the built-in lithium battery can hold charge. Not really that interested in the FM radio feature.

2. Bought another three CD's of praise/worship songs, for a special price of S$10 ... Titles: Praise 'n' Worship Volume 2; Trust in You; Contemporary Christian Hits.
       Two or three weeks ago, I had already bought Praise 'n' Worship Volume 1, for S$4; also, a Living Faith Church friend (LILIAN) had helped me to secure an excellent CD entitled "Top 25 Praise Songs", for just under S$25.
       Converting/ripping these CDs into MP3 for my new MP3 players ... that's purposely plural because a week or so before buying that SOYU MP4 player, I bought a 256MB MP3 player, brand LE -- for which I have converted some praise/worship songs into MP3; I have passed the LE player to my wife for her to enjoy the songs.
       Later, I will pass the SOYU player to my wife for her to watch MATTHEW in four parts (not in mpg format, which is too large; but will convert mpg's into wmv's). That's the plan, anyway.

All in, it has been a good 3 days.

'Nuff said!
