The Story Between You and MeAll I do is clean

Saturday, April 23, 2011

Went to TJ Delight for breakfast this morning with parent and quite disappointed with the lack or thereof choices of food there. Major cleaning continue again today, an ancient ps2 console of mine. Thought about few time to donate this baby away but always hold back at the last minute. Holds too much sentimental value that machine have as it was my first splurge with my very first salary more than 7 years ago at Lahad Datu, Sabah. I'm quite amazed that it still runs perfectly today, unfortunately there is lack or almost no new games as it was already an obsolete generation.



Banana ... good for high dietary fibre. Cheap and delicious. I bought 2 controller back in sabah days as I shared playing with my supervisor turn good friend Eddie (Who happens to be younger than me.). And another 2 more in KL (unfortunately both died due to over usage) for other colleagues as we wanted to play 4 player game like Champions of Arm and Baldur's Gate. Those that spoiled easily are the cheaper 3rd party replica from China. Both controller above look the same rite ? One is original and the other is fake.



This is the replica version. Questionable construction.

 



If you always wonder why your wired gaming controller always kaput first, it's probably of the bend in the design. A rubber clip with a stopper grip on the wire would have been a better choice. Then again, if manufacturer always created something that has an infinite longevity, money would not flow into their pocket (ala Igadget ... replace gadget with phone, pad, pod, mac, book ... dehko (not yet introduced by steve kang ...))



A lot of kau kiu...... apply dettol and hand sanitizer on it also might not help. gross...



This one is the original version. Look sophisticated with the IC circuit chark in the middle.



 The dual shock mechanism from the fake version.



This is the analog stick control, probably the dirtiest part of the controller. So much dirt, grime and dust will be trapped inside here. Also the hardest part to clean since I didn't manage to remove the rubber stick from the controller.





The shoulder button construction look much robust on the original version than the fake version.



Finish cleaning and wrapped in plastic bag to prevent dust particle from building up. Ready for storage.
