My PSP 2000 (a.k.a PSP Slim)

I have always dreamed for a psp and finally ............ I got it for my birthday !! It's the psp2000 a.k.a slim version. The differences? It's 33% lighter and 19% slimmer compared to psp1000 (a.k.a fat version now, it's not used to be fat, we called it fat once the slim version is out, life isn't fair, huh?). I chose white as my fav color is always white, especially for gadgets. Other "extras" features available for the slim version are it's tv-output enabled (with a special cable), higher memory from 32MB to 64MB, thus giving advantage in faster loading time. There are slight changes to the external design, such as the WiFi switch is moved to the top. The battery is believed to be more "fuel efficient" as well. After a fully charged, the battery information shows 6.41 hours (depends on the brightness and speaker volume you set).

You can even choose from a variety of themes with different colors and set pictures as wallpaper, etc.

For video, you will have to convert the format into mp4. For this purpose you may use freeware such as PSP Video 9 or PSP Video Express. I shall say the video looks clear, bright and nice. It's worth your every cent !

I believe for most of the people, gaming is the ultimate purpose to get a psp but for me, i enjoy all the features - gaming, wifi, video and even music players. There are even softwares available in the internet to enable it for calendar, scheduler, pdf reader and many mores not to forget homebrew games !! There are huge number of games available, some people called it "ahem games" :p

"Game - Naruto - Choosing a team"

"Game - Naruto - VS mode"

"Game - Naruto - Loading"

"Game - Naruto - In Fighting"

Overall, i would say the psp slim is truly satisfying and worth to buy. It will keep you busy especially while waiting in airport/bus and even while waiting for your girlfriend. My rating is 4.0 out of 5.0 stars :)

Grilled Lamb

Personal Rating: 1.2 stars (out of 5)
Comment: The soya sauce is too strong, causing me to drink my iced lemon tea regularly. The meat is tender and cooked right. However, there are lots of carbon on top of the meat, makes it unhealthy. So, I ended up with 1 serving only.

Comment: It has been my 3rd time to Tao and I still like this dish. It's quite special with the "melting" effect in your mouth. However, you gets bored quickly with it as it's covered with butter.
