I ordered Xtreamer Sidewinder last Monday July 26, 2010 and today, Friday July 30, 2010, I received it. It came from UK. I’m impressed with Royal Mail.

What is Xtreamer?
- Basically, Xtreamer is a media player. You connect it to your TV or projector to watch movies, listen to music, and browse the internet.

What makes it so special than other media players?
- The form factor is one reason
- The other reason is that is plays all known video codecs
- Customizable streams from the internet
- Fits SATA internal HDD
- Factory-fitted XSC heatsink for silent operation
- LAN or WiFi connectivity
- Best of all, customizable firmware

Okay sorry. I can’t resist it. It’s StarCraft! I got me StarCraft II: Wings Of Liberty!

I’m so happy that it runs well on my laptop. Of course, the graphics were automatically set to low. I tried increasing the graphics to medium and it was still running well. But when I increased to high, the gameplay was stuttering. Nevertheless, the low quality is still beautiful.

I just need to remember to spend time outdoors with friends and not be addicted to playing games again.

The guys called me to watch a movie, The Rebound. We met up with Mireille and Estelle at WestEnd Mall.

The movie was amusing. Catherine Zeta-Jones was still hot despite her age. She’s what you call MILF! Sorry, hehe! It’s a fun movie to watch with friends.

Aziz, Artemio, Fadzly, and I watched Inception at MOM Park. Aziz went home then we went to Vapiano Vaci utca for dinner. Met up with Gan. Went to Gödör Klub just to hang out. Finally, walked to Subway Oktagon for a morning snack.

Next time somebody asks, “Dude, what did we do last Friday?” These were what we did.

For the movie, I thought it would be something light. We kept on asking each other, “What the? What level are they in now?” When I go watch a movie, I just want to relax and enjoy it. In this movie, I had to give my full attention and THINK.

A lot of my friends back home said, “Yeah that movie was great!” For me, it was okay. The effects were great. The thing that I liked was seeing Ellen Page onscreen again. :-)

I think I enjoyed Shrek Forever After more. It made me laugh.
