The Long-Waited

I have small ears. Thats why I feel extremely uncomfotable putting on standard earphones into my ears. The feeling is like stucking a pencil into his penis (after correction from Nik). Hence, when I first got my Ipod mini, I bought a Sennheiser PMX 60 from ebay because I thought my ears would feel more comfortable with it, and it looked kinda cool too.

Indeed, it does serve above functions. But it doesn't comfort my heart. The transducer principle of the headphone is dynamic open, which means (to me), with your headphone on, people aournd you still can share the music with you. In other words, they can listen to what exactly you are listening, or the beat of the bass, if the volume is slightly higher.

Doesn't feel good. I could feel people around me in the bus, or in a silent atmosphere (eg library) staring cock at me. It's as though they see an alien wearing a headphone. -_-

Hence, I had to turn down the volume. What came next? I could hear the annoying sound of vehicles or dogs barking when I was walking. Yeah its good as a sign of aware that dogs are coming to bite me. But the music? No more enjoyment really.

Therefore, I decided to buy an insert type earphone (with closed transducer principle specifically!). Asked around and made some research online and finally, from the recommendation of Matthew, who has maybe 6 to 7 earphones of this type, I opt for Pioneer SE-CL30.

I searched ebay, kelkoo, amazon, google, ebay us, ebay hongkong................ No such product available.

Until I came across Audiocubes (a US website) and some other Taiwan and Japan website selling it. Japanese? Yeah I have the standard equivalent to primary one, so heck it. Taiwan? Need to join memebrship, survey this survey that. Oh well, lastly I decided to buy it from Audiocubes, on the 3rd of February.

The website provided me a tracking number for the item. I was so happy and lalala everyday kept tracking the status of my new toy.

It was dispatched from Osaka on the 12th of February, reached UK on the 14th. I was so exicted, waiting everyday when the postman would come.

But he didn't come. Not even a "You are out!" slip. AAHAHAAAJHhhhhhhh...........

Then I discovered it had been in the London Depot since the date of arrival, under the status of being held. What? They smuggled some heroine with my earphone or what?

In the end, I couldn't wait any longer and I called Parcel Force. Talked to the stupid computerised operator for a while, and finally got to complain to a real human operator.

Me: Where is my earphone?
She: Oh it has been attempted to be delivered. You did't get the slip?
Me: No. (Not even a hair)
She: Oh ok I'll arrange a redelivery for you.
Me: Send it to Queensway post offfice please. I don't trust postman anymore.

And YES! I went to post office today to collect it. Man I was so excited (and desperate) after the long wait. After collecting, I just took my cutter out from my bag and cut the package, took the earphone out and put it on. The process took place in the post office for about 5 minutes.

It looks so gorgeous! (Sorry for the ulu-ness, its the long wait!)

Hah! I switched the volume of my mini (not cooper, its an Ipod) higher, and man the quality of the sound was superb! No more stare cocks. And its noise cancelling. Hence no more vrroom vroom or wow wow anymore. I even felt worried I couldn't hear the bus coming. Hahahaha.....

My ears are small. But the earbuds fit in nicely. The more brilliant thing is, it comes with 3 pairs of earbuds with different sizes. Wonderful!

In the bus, I could finally feel the music in my heart. The feeling was so good. I could feel Hacken Lee, Jay Chou and Alicia Keys singing next to me. =)

I nearly forgot to get off the bus. Plus, I wished the journey from the bus stop to my department was longer so that I could listen to more songs. =P

With the socks that Cherylmon gave me, at this instance, it has somehow controlled my lust. The lust of buying an Ipod Video. Hahahaha....
