I got one yesterday waiting in line for 5 hours in the Nintendo Store. It's currently on eBay.

I bought another one today along with Zelda. ITS SOO FREAKING COOL!!! WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE IT!!!!! SOO INNOVATIVE!!

Came home 20 minutes ago from the city.

Toysrus in Times Square had the only midnight launch , I decided to go get one after reading from gizmodo that as many as 5000 Units were available. My brother and I arrived at 1020PM or so only to find out that the line almost wrapped around to where it started. Once we got in line, a nasty bitch with a nasty attitude told us to get off the line because they gave out their bracelets (one bracelet means one guarantee wii). They only gave away their last one 20 minutes before I arrived!!!

We then walked up to Nintendo Store and noticed that they line was really short. After tallking to some people, Nintendo Store will not do a midnight release. No way were we going to wait for 8 hours unprepared and take the risk of getting hit by a NYC cab.

Nintendo Officials told me that they have 2000+ machine in the store. I will attempt to go back tomorrow morning if I wake up.

Waited for this for well over 2 years and I just saw the movie last night. IT WAS FREAKING AWESOME!!!! Obviously, I am bias because I am such a hardcore fan of the Infernal Affairs (just 1 and 2, 3 was just plain awful) As you know, I don’t watch movie much. This was actually the first time since X-Men 3 that I have been in to the movies.

Unlike the Chinese version, the American version was significant different in terms of the mood and tone. In fact, many would consider this to be a comedy/drama. Unlike the Chinese version which uses some amazing camera angle works to create suspense, the camera works in the departed were used to create humor. The movie’s overall feel was kind of like “Bandits”

The reason why I called it Infernal Affairs 1.5 was that this movie explained why Tony Leung (played by Leo) had to be an undercover cop. In the Chinese version, that reason was only explained to the audience in its prequel.

Bottom Line: While the story is mainly base on the Chinese version, the story is different in terms of its characters involvement in the movie (Sammy Cheng’s character was not in the movie). Unfortunately or fortunately, its more confusing than the Chinese counterpart. One small disappointment I had was that Andy Lau didn’t make a cameo appearance.

5 of 5 Protons!!!

With the Coup going on in Thailand and the Political Mess in Taiwan, this stuff sure makes the US look good (even though we are at a all time low)

Here is an interesting statistic

Number of Coups Thailand experience since it became a constitutional monarchy 74 years ago: 18

Number of perfect games in baseball in its 130+ years history: 17

One week ago, when I got the Chien Ming Wang bobble head doll (free gift to the first 2000 fans) from the Staten Island Yankees game, I thought I was going to be very lucky if I had gotten anywhere near 100 dollars on ebay for it. After all, many people in the game were asking me if I can sell it to them. Realizing that some bobble head doll fetched for as much as 150 before the game started (many people knew they were going to get it) I came home and got rid of with it along with the ticket stub for 130.

That was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my ebay career.
I started to sell my friends unused ticket and used ticket which sold for 51 and 37 respectively (note that their face values were no more than 10 dollars)

I have one more ticket stub on ebay.

And here is the part that makes me the loser, my friend Mr Lee's doll which he has been patiently selling. During that time, Wang comes up big with two shut out wins (6 hits in 17 innings)

Wang gets another win and its going to go up to 1000 dollars.

What can I say? You can't be too greedy. I am happy as long as I made money.

It's been over 2 days now but I just have to blog about it. Liu Xiang is the biggest name in Mainland right now. Never can the world guess that a Chinese guy has the lung capacity to accomplish something like this.
