Casio Baby G review

BG-592PP-2
Basic Info
  Case: Resin
  Accuracy per month: ±15 sec
  Battery Type: CR1616
  Battery Life: 2 YRS
  EL: Blue

Memperkenalkan kesayangan saya daripada tahun 2007 sehingga 2012. Enam tahun yang baik.
saya mendapatkannya secara tidak sengaja. berkunjung ke greentown mall sekadar menemani rakan baik saya membeli laptop, dan saya secara tidak sengaja masuk ke kedai jam, dan tanpa melengahkan masa, saya terus memilikinya. kebetulan pula jam saya sebelum itu telah rosak case nya. model yang terdapat ialah limited, saya cuma mahukan jam yang digital dan beberapa function seperti stowatch dan timer serta alarm dan ianya perlulah tahan lasak.

namun jam ini ialah puppy series, released  back in OCT 2005.
apabila button Light ditekan, maka akan ada image ini didalam muka jam tersebut.
back cover image

puppy image di hujung tali jam

pada mulanya sedikit hesitate lah dengan gambar gambar puppies tersebut. tapi harga jam ni dapat di negokan sehingga agak berpatutan, dan memandangkan gegambar tersebut bukanlah menyerupai haiwan yang sebenar, saya tak fikir ia merupakan suatu masalah.

ciri ciri baby G ini adalah seperti yang berikut..

1/100-second stopwatch
Measuring capacity: 23:59'59.99"
Measuring modes: Elapsed time, split time, 1st-2nd place times
function ini adalah perlu terutama untuk pemain rubik cube. setelah berjaya diajari rakan rakan baik saya untuk menyelesaikan rubik cube, jam ini merupakan stopwatch terbaik selain handphone.

saya juga kerap merekodkan masa larian dengan jam ini.

12/24-hour format
saya lebih gemarkan 24H format. 

Accuracy: ±15 seconds per month
tak perlu risau untuk sentiasa check ketepatan

Approx. battery life
2 years on CR1616
pertama kali battery jam saya kehabisan ialah apabila saya mendengar azan subuh dan terjaga dan segera saya tekan button Light untuk melihat waktu. apabila jam saya tidak menyala, hati saya gelabah seakan bertanya 'adakah ini mimpi?' 
rupanya ia adalah simptom battery lemah, glow nya tidak dapat diaktifkan. setelah beberapa hari, keseluruhan display ialah terpadam.
kos untuk menukar battery baharu cuma RM20. 

sila ambil perhatian sewaktu proses penukaran dilakukan. (adalah lebih baik untuk menonton how to terlebih dahulu sebelum ke kedai jam)
sewaktu case dipasang semula, pastikan rubber seal ring dimasukkan ke channel tersedia di body sebelah dalam dengan rapi sebelum back case plate diskrukan. kerana itu merupakan komponen utama dalam memastikan water resistivity jam kesayangan anda.

selain itu, ada review menyatakan, bunyi amaran telah dikeluarkan menandakan bateri semakin lemah sebelum ia mengakibatkan paparan.

Auto-calendar (to year 2039)
sekali lagi, kerisauan adalah tidak perlu untuk ini

Daily alarms
5 independent daily alarms
bunyi alarm nya adalah tidak memadai buat seorang penidur dalam (deep and sound sleeper) seperti saya. malah alarm tone di handphone saya juga perlu selalu ditukar kerana saya akan immune dengan bunyi yang sama. 
agak perlahan, tapi sebenarnya agak mengjengkelkan. seperti nyamuk!

Data Bank
Memory capacity: Up to 25 sets of data, each set including;
Name (8 characters) and telephone number (12 digits)
Other: Auto-sort
fungsi yang sangat saya gemari dan perlu.
nombor emergency dan kerap dihubungi seperti keluarga terdekat dan kawan kawan terdekat adalah tersimpan didalam jam saya.
pada kejadian dimana phone saya kehabisan battery atau hilang, saya masih boleh menghubungi orang orang yang perlu dihubungi dengan wang syiling dan telefon awam dan ia banyak kali terjadi. dan saya tidak menghafal nombor walau siapa.


Data Counter
Automatically counts down the days from the current date to a target date.
Memory capacity: 5 records (8 characters of text)
A mark appears on the display to let you know when a target date is reached.
saya kira saya tidak pernah menggunakan fungsi ini. 
mungkin berguna untuk countdown sesuatu.


Dual time
mungkin kalau saya ada berhubungan dengan sesiapa dari zon masa yang berlainan, fungsi ini agak berguna. tapi tidak buat berapa lama jam ini berkhidmat dengan saya

Electro-luminescent backlight
Afterglow
berguna untuk bacaan senang. atau untuk menghiburkan kanak kanak. kerana image gadis kecil dan puppy tersebut dan juga orang lidi berlari di sudut atas paparan jam.
sekurang kurang nya fungsi kegemaran sepupu kesayangan saya jojo dan jojie yang masih kecil.
saya juga sering terhibur dengannya.

Hourly time signal
agak mengganggu, jadi saya tidak mengaktifkannya.
ini bukan jam dinding.

Regular timekeeping
Hour, minutes, seconds, am/pm, month, date, day, daylight saving on/off
fungsi paling utama sebuah/ seutas jam.
paparan nya juga jelas, terutama untuk melihat hari dan tarikh secara serentak.

Shock resistant
sebab kedua saya tidak ragu ragu untuk memiliki jam ini.
pemakaian jam ini bolehlah dikatakan 24/7. baik semasa tidur, mandi, belajar, berkerja, beraktiviti lasak.

Size of case / total weight
BG-592PP ...... 45.9 x 42.6 x 14.0 mm / 43 g
agak besar dan berat sebenarnya buat saiz tangan biasa perempuan.


antara ciri lain merupakan

resin band
coating pada tali jam ini tergores dan perlahan lahan terkopak dalam tempoh satu-2 tahun.
kotoran amat mudah melekat. apa yang saya lakukan ialah cuba mencuci dengan pelbagai cara.
pemadam, berus gigi, alcohol, tapi tidaklah mengembalikan seri seperti jam baru, cuma nampak kurang kotor sedikit sahaja.

kesan retak mula jelas pada tahun ketiga. loop untuk secure hujung tali juga putus satu demi satu. 
adalah agak sukar untuk mendapatkan tali ganti kerana sizenya bukan lah standard seperti G Shock dimana kebanyakan kedai jam mempunyai stok tersedia pada harga yang berpatutan. malahan warna light blue juga adalah hampir sangat tidak mungkin didapati di pasaran tempatan. kalau ada pun, harganya mencecah separuh harga jam itu sendiri.

sehinggalah jam dan saya terpisah, sekalipun tidak pernah ditukarkan talinya disebabkan kesukaran itu.

20bar water resistant
bersamaan 200meter.
memandangkan saya bukan lah seorang penyelam, cukup sekadar jam ini mengharungi mandi setiap pagi dan petang, titisan hujan. renangan dan rendaman sungai dan laut mahupun paya.

mineral glass
tiada calar yang jelas walaupun beberapa kali terlanggar sesuatu yang keras. 
namun pembinaan bazel case nya yang menyebabkan lumpur dan daki melekat jauh kedalam ruang terselit depan dan belakang jam. 



dan sekarang saya hanya menerima hakikat yang jam ini tidak lagi berada dengan saya. 6 good years of companion.

untuk seseorang yang mempunyai kulit yang sangat sensitif dan banyak terdedah kepada situasi mencabar, tidak banyak pilihan yang terdapat, dan BABY G ialah pilihan yang tidak mengecewakan!

sekian, terima kasih kerana sudi membaca :)

kegagalan

kadang kadang aku macam terfikir. eh aku selalu berfikir rupanya. ataupun berangan.
adakah kegagalan itu diwarisi.

aku tak tahu takdir masa hadapan (andai umurku panjang, aminn ) macammana.
akankan aku mewarisi apa sahaja kegagalan dalam orang orang sekitar aku, keluarga terutamanya?
iaitu aku tidak mempunyai banyak pengetahuan tentangnya.
cant be all failure, kan?

cis. apa aku taip ni? gagal bercerita dengan baik juga merupakan satu kualiti ekslusif aku.

hidup aku setakat ni bukanlah sangat membanggakan. tapi juga tidak sangat merisaukan. mungkin ala kadar sahaja.

tapi sebenarnya mungkin kita gagal untuk sekadar rekod. rekod cubaan.
takkan nak ada rekod gagalan pula?

kita mungkin selalu tengok kejayaan atau kegagalan seseorang atau sesuatu.
tapi bukan semua life event seseorang itu kita teliti. proses untuk mendapatkan hasil sama ada gagal atau berjaya tersebut.

anggaplah aku dalam proses inbetween's lagi. goal yang kita identify doesnt always match dengan actual goal we will discover.

nikmatilah hidup anda, jalani dengan baik, semoga diberkati Ilahi :)

running for beginners. the DON'Ts!

im a beginner for a few years to date. simply because i never made any significant progress on that because i had my on and off season having me to start over every few months or so.
it doesnt matter much because i dont intend to be a competitive runner, just maintaining my fitness and health and just for the fun of it.

due to my knee injury previously, i had adapted barefoot running. and the rule of thumb of the practise is start slow. thats what ive been doing lol.

so anyway, here's some mistakes i did learnt in the hard way (i currently had 2 large blisters formed on my soles at the moment.


  1. stay alert to the voice of your surrounding. for every possible reason. as i ran in non isolated area, it is expected to encounter another runner, approaching vehicles, another people and we have to stay alert to either give way, run away, or throw a smile away. because nobody wants tragedy.
  2. stay focused on the trail. although it doenst mean to fix your eye gaze 45 degrees downwards at all times, unless u were running on a uniformed platform, it pays to not to be distracted even by a second. that was how i got my first cut. i was looking at a text on my phone (not to mention i ran not in a peace of mind because i had some quarrelling with my err my.. oh nvm. which is also make up another BIG FAT NO) i stepped a rock or roots and i continue running until the target mile point and noticed a bleeding cut when i lifted my foot. and super pain synchronzedly registered right to my brain. pfft. thats about how i got my blister tonight too, as i keep looking on my phone checking the time to end my run. i overstrided the uneven tarmac road and booms, i immediately feels the burning sensation.
lastly, always picture the form to minimize the chances of getting any kind of injury. glad to say that these blisters was my second ever since i addicted into this barefoot running. the first one is formed due to exxessive star jumps anyway. 

till then, continue to live healthily peeps! 
:)

tips sharing on wellness

okay, although i may not (again, disclaimer here) appear to be as fit as someone who would give out tips on wellness, i believe i would just drop a couple should anyone might benefit from it.
not to mention i also forgot them at times, lol me!

  1. when u feel like having some kind of sickness, consider pooping. im not quite sure hows that relates to the better feeling, but it works for me when i had motion sickness due to long journey, period pain, and just whenever i had the growling stomach. some suggested that our poops are actually toxic and given certain condition, it might toxicate our body hence the sickness experienced. which could be true indeed. 
  2. when u had stomach pain, drink milk. im a big fan of fresh plain milk. anytime over any water. i always get the pain when i took spicy foods in which i suspect couldnt tolerate well in my gastronomic environment. i suppose milk have the dilution effects or emulsification of some sort.
  3. when u feel like improving ur bad sleeping habits (any other sleep time outside the optimum 10 to 2 o clock), exercise. be it running, swimming, dancing, any other activity u can squeeze into ur day. the concept is to get your body utilising whatever energy fed on the day. and in my case, to calm down some adrenaline rush that frequently happen. i feel good when i sweat. its a kind of detox, too. plus, who doesnt love healthy glow blushed effect u get after a good workout!
that should do for now.
perhaps i could go through some other tips worth knowing on essentials like salt and its universal usage. 

thank you very much should you find this writing useful, do share with me if u have some :)

Eat Right with Nina

note that the title is might be read to imply that i have a good appearance like someone who has been take a good care of the physical appearance so i can share a tip or two on the said subject. in which, NO.
i have all the flaws you can find a in lady.
pimples, excess fat, non-proportionate body measures, abnormal blood composition, sensitive skin condition, you name it.
thus in order to fight my own body, i've been trying to find the cure. if no cure, then at least to lessen the burden i've been experiencing.

i can hv the doctor prescribed to treat most of my skin condition for example. but there's no replacement for steroids just yet. so having years trying to get the best for myself, i think its about time to document some tips even it is way from being perfected.

water
contrary to the popular beliefs, i'm okay with not having 2L of liquid perday. (cheat trick: just find a good google to go with your personal preference =p)
sometimes more and sometimes much less.
i drink when i want. its a good practice to have plain water always ready within reach when u feel thirsty.
plain water is always the best choice to do the replenishment before, and after a good sweat. in my case, be it my day to day work in the island or my un-routine run around the blocks.
i always opted for plain fresh milk whenever my pocket permits. goat milk over cow milk at anytime, but of course since the former is more expensive than the latter, we don't do luxury every day do we?
now i feel like wanted to try to put lemon slices or lime or any other herbs for the taste since i hatttte plain water. but so far i only tried with honey and sometimes pinch i bit of salt into my tumbler.


fibre
eat as plentiful as we can. be it in the form of grain, veges, fruits or nut. and let them be in their most natural form as possible. unrefined, uncooked, blanched, unpeeled, unprocessed, with no additional unnecessary other added seasoning. its super good for your peristalsis process.

protein
just eat as you please. i bet not many can afford too eat too much of these on daily basis. its either you get full or your pocket emptied  themselves before you add another serving. so just any humanly 1 serving per meal should do it. but then again, always go for the unprocessed and cooked with the least seasoning possible. i always liked my meat lightly salted and sprinkle with some black peppers and perhaps a squeeze of lemon or two, and some soysauce. oh wait. i never had that. i dont cook, LOL.  take burgers, sausages, bratwursts, corned beef, canned or frozen food as only the very last resort. i mean, last resort. the very last resort would be bacon already.

i guess that should be all.
and vary your intake, dont just go staple with always rice with chicken and cabbage in every meal. vary. so you could get various benefit the foods has to offer.
but in my case, not all my favourite food is easily available. what do you expect you can get in a island? haha.
so its more of a food for survival we had there. i just pick ones with the least oil, or sugar. and pack as much food as i can from home.

and avoid anything processed. pass by the snacks and canned food in the fastest speed as you can. drive past any fastfood joints the fastest the speed limit would allow. if you must, that is. but what works better, grow some disgust towards these. even your body doesnt favour it. yes, after some times without, you will find those too salty, too oily, and your body will instantly have some unease reaction upon consuming unhealthy food.

and best of all, dont trust this if these info doenst appear to naturally acceptable for you. do more and more readings. do advise me on anything i could improve.
okay then, thank you for reading, darlings! :)
