In this thread, I offer you an opportunity. I offer to the populace here to use the opportunity I have going to the place I travel to, to allow you to get items overseas and to be brought back along by me once I'm back in this country. This opportunity starts right from tomorrow, where I am departing to Sydney and Brisbane, and ends right up to my return from Stockholm and New York on June the 2nd.

Items up for grabs are mostly those of which I am personally interested in, and will frequent to, once I am at these cities, namely Apple-related items, electronics/gadgets and videogaming-related merchandises as well. But first the itinerary.

Well, there you have it. List down what items you would possibly need, and where to get them, and I'll see what I can do. For further details, PM ONLY. You know how sensitive things are around this part of the forum regarding the "loose" definition of the word "trade".

P/S: Inclusion of "videogames" and "gadgets" in this offer, in a largely Apple-centric section of this forum, is due to the fact that I am opening this offer to the Console Couch section as well. An edited-for-Concole-Couch thread of nearly similar content will be posted there soon after.

I have to add this disclaimer for this, in lieu of the current events happening right now:-

I will be with the team piloting the plan on MH090 and MH091 going to, and coming back from New York for this trip. As you all have read in the papers, the flight MH091 which came back from New York has been home-quarantined for a week in regards to the two passengers found carrying the AH1N1 Influenza virus. If such thing occurs to me when I get back on the 3rd of June next month, I may be stopped from any outside contact, placed on house quarantine for a period of 1 week. If this happens and does not suit your preference on retrieving your items (you want your items ASAP, for example), then I cannot help you. If nothing happens and the flight is clean, then it is business as usual, they will most probably give a minimum of 5 days off after such a long trip for crew rest. We can arrange pickups of your items within that period.

Nyahaha! First customer! Something colorful, this way come! laugh.gif

Those are what I call "loud" colors. Checking their address, they are conviniently located close to Central Park, so it should not be a problem getting it for you, stock availability permitting. Shooing the dullness out of your life with these bright colors, eh Neekun?tongue.gif

tongue.gif  Yeah!!!! Actually I saw this brand at OneU but very limited designs. Mostly bottle cases and a few laptop sleeves only.

At first me thinking to get some iPhone 3G accessories also but knowing that new iPhone is just around the corner so better don't cause I guess the current iPhone 3G accessories might not be compatible with the upcoming new iPhone.

I wish this trip was a little bit later than this, at least until past the middle of June. That way we can be sure of an actual announcement on WWDC, and I can be States-side to purchase Palm Pre on June 5th. Timing lari again. sad.gif

Don't forget the skydiving/paragliding and Great Adventure too. Maybe I should upload my skydive video to youtube to entice you biggrin.gif

Will do. I think J&R or BHPhoto should have them.

Well, the first destination in this Kirim thread is on for today: I'm off to Sydney. Looks like it will be a relatively easy day for me there, since no requests for anything OZ-side.

apple store in fifth avenue..it's so awesome that i almost pee in my pants.. i've never seen such a big store...it's like walking into an apple store heaven.. lol..

okay i might have exaggerated a lil bit..haha

IT's the first actual sighting that make you gasp literally. The additional jaw-drop actually came once you descend into the glass cube and realise that........there is actually a bigger store/showroom floor underneath it. It's like finding a hidden buried treasure! laugh.gif

I literally walk + ran to the Cube once I saw it, cars and traffic be damned. God, I'm such a nerd! laugh.gif

anyways, have a fun & safe trip biggrin.gif

AWESOME does not even begin to describe the epicness of the finale! Mark Pellegrino (Jacob) walking around TOUCHING each of the Losties in their lives , and that conversation he had with Esau/BlackShirt/EvilEntity in the beginning, is simply poignant and awesome! I dont think they are pawns, they have been used yes, but in S6 Jacob's plan will include them in the fight against Esau/BlackShirt/EvilEntity.

If you watched the very first Pilot episode of Lost in S1, Charlie and Lapidus basically said the same thing when they both encounter the Smoke Monster and dead Locke body respectively, they both said "Terrific". I love these little nods and links these character have, showing that the Lost writers dont just simply throw these ideas around randomly, they had planned all this all along! Roll on S6!

Juliet, a.k.a Elizabeth Mitchell is confirmed by the Lindelcuse/Darlton that she wont be a series regular come Season 6. She is tied as a regular character on J.J's other project , "V", which is projected to replace Lost after the final season next year. Usually, when that happens, just like Claire/Charlie/ or any other "ghostly apparitions" characters, that means they are dead. After all, "Dead is Dead", just like what Ben Linus says.

As for my prediction, there is this interesting theory on the Lostpedia forum regarding what will happen on Season 6. I like this theory, so I'll echo what the original theorist says about it.
